Only when the noise stops
When the light breaks
When the waves still
When the earth sleeps
Only as the night falls silent
And the moonlight shines cold
And the dark trees speak
In wordless whispers of aeons past
Only when the sun has set forever
Has shined out its last
Wandered away through the cosmos in spite
To look upon us nevermore
Only when the last bird has sung
When the last flower has wilted
When the last leaf has fallen
When the last river has run dry
Only when every last drop of blood
That once coursed through your fragile veins
Paints this cursed earth
As a final crimson catharsis
A monolith to the agony of existence
And has dried beneath the dead air
Wasted away, along with everything else
That once drew breath
One of the few technical death metal albums out there whose dizzying virtuosity is matched by its transcendental melodicism. A favourite of mine for many years, and likely for many more. Anna Pest
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
