Metal Monday LIV - Devotion To Lord

3/6/2017

No lyrics, but thats okay. Though, I may not be able to decipher the words, this is definetly my language. Hailing from Siberia, Grima brings a wild and powerful tone, as large and daunting as the landscape itself. The album in its entirety is amazing, yet this track has stuck with me since the beginning. Press play and look to the mountains and trees, the savage and haunting timbers, the black, timeless mountains. Allow Grima to bring a primal presence, whispering and wailing of the land only visited by man, a place where bears and sables reign supreme.

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
