lyrics

Night falls, as I’ve slained the sun
and I slumber, in a midwinter haze - so cold and dark
Embracing me as if in a womb

Let this night never be over
Don't let me wake up to another morning
Let me dwell in the shadows
Never to see the burning light of day
Let this night never be over
I've seen it all, I've felt it all
Nothing can bring me back now

I fall yet again, into this midwinter haze
But the pain still lingers
Inside of me, like a sickness
Oh night, embrace me again,
spare me from this disease
Let me float in the comfort of your womb, forever!

I am the man who swallowed the sun
And painted the sky in black

Oh night, embrace me again,
spare me from this disease
Let me float in the comfort of your womb
Let me slumber in the midwinter haze - so cold and dark
Let me dwell in the shadows
Never to wake up
Never to see the sun

Volume I: Subradiant Architecture
by Obsidian Tongue

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Man Who Swallowed The Sun”

Faire passer le black par un équipement daté pour rendre le son brut de décoffrage, j'ai longtemps pensé que c'était Staurophagia le maître en la matière mais Obsidian Tongue l'a fait avant lui et tout aussi bien dans son premier opus, Volume I: Subradiant Architecture. On se retrouve ainsi avec un black metal qui rend hommage à l'école norvégienne, entre poésie ésotérique ("Approaching the Well", "It Dangles from the Bones") et guitares furieuses, mais il est aussi très moderne. Un bon album ! Jordan Vauvert

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Man Who Swallowed The Sun”

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
