lyrics

ODE TO EMPTINESS

Despise all you ever wished for.
Dreams are meant to die.
Condemn the pledge,
that speaks of things changing for the better.
Kill your hopes and free yourself.
Accept this miserable life of yours.

Follow me into the night.
Behold me yielding to futility,
The spectre painting the future black.
The goddess of might, called hollowness.

Within the mists of desolation she stalks
breathing the void into our lonesome hearts.
She lifts the weight of the world by speaking just a few words.
She knows Uncertainty has never been a friend and whispers:
“The good life wont be yours again.“

There is no closure.
Nothing is ever over.
There wont be fulfillment.
Not in this life. At least not for me!

Surrender your dreams.
Flee hope.
Embrace darkness and sing this ode to emptiness.

Inevitable
by NONE

《 So many questions 》 — "Rest", Inevitable. NONE. La mort est une épée de Damoclès : elle va tomber et on en a conscience ; on ignore quand et on la redoute. Tel est le thème d'Inevitable. Pour pousser ce concept jusqu'au bout, NONE fait en sorte que ce quatrième album soit à double tranchants. Sur le plan quantitatif, DSBM et dark ambiant sont sur un pied d'égalité : si le premier est toujours aussi dévastateur, le second n'est pas là pour apporter du réconfort. L'incertitude, l'angoisse... Jordan Vauvert

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working. tgoz
