Seul, respirant mais sans vie
Les yeux grands ouverts mais aveuglés
Par la vive lumière de l’aube
Et la sombre épaisseur de la nuit
Je suis en quête de réponses
A des questions que je ne sais comment poser
Ai-je vu un jour ? Verrai-je à nouveau ?
J’ai au fond de moi une forme floue
A l’immuable parfum
Je crois me souvenir
Qu’autrefois je t’ai connue
Mais tu es plus volatile qu’une flamme de bougie
« Rayonnante et pourtant invisible
Je suis comme une étoile sous la clarté du jour
Je n’ai jamais déserté le ciel
Mais la lumière t’empêche de t’y immerger
Nous retrouverons nous un jour
Malgré l'aveuglante clarté
Du jeune hiver, instigateur
De la renaissance et l'oubli ? »
Il me semble entendre des voix au loin
Un appel qui me serait destiné
Mais j’ai perdu toute confiance en mes sens
Le froid s'infiltre en moi
Et mes yeux ont blanchi
J’attendrai avec patience
La fonte des neiges

Alone, breathing yet not alive
Eyes wide open but blinded
By the bright light of dawn
And the dark thickness of the night
I am looking for answers
To questions I don't even know how to ask
Have I ever seen? Will I ever see again?
Deep inside of me there lies a blurry shape
Bearing a never changing fragrance
I think that I have memories
Of once knowing you
But you are more ethereal than a candle's flame
'Radiant, yet invisible
I am as a star in daylight
I have never deserted the sky
But the light is stopping you from immersing yourself in it
Will we meet again
Despite the blinding brightness
Of the young winter, instigator
Of rebirth and oblivion?'
I think I can hear voices from afar
A call that would be aimed at me
But I have lost all faith in my senses
The cold penetrates me
And my eyes have turned white
I will wait patiently
For the snow to melt

Atmospheric black metal from Indonesia, with a major emphasis on grandiose and cinematic leads. To be listened on a lonely hike at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the endless horizon. Marunata
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
After a recent breakup this album was a wise purchase. It let me shed my tears and realize that while it hurts, it's all going to be okay, but oh god do I miss her. Logan (???)
