Metal Monday XXXIV - The Absence Of Void

10/10/2016

No lyrics to be found for this song so I will provide word entertainment for you. Stumbled across this dark, moody, atmospheric black metal a while back but I have only recently acquired its deep allure and lush sounds. Do not let the five track album fool you, each of these pieces are uniqure and powerful, especially Alma if you enjoy haunting female vocals (not to mention the name reminds me of Ramza's sister and that has a fond place in my heart). Take this wild journey, do yourself this kindness, allow the darkness and aching wilderness to swallow you up, stirring that animal within to prowl and peer. We are all animals after all...

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)
