There is snow on the ground,
And the valleys are cold,
And a midnight profound
Blackly squats o'er the wold;
But a light on the hilltops half-seen
hints of feastings un-hallowed and old.
There is death in the clouds,
There is fear in the night,
For the dead in their shrouds
Hail the sin's turning flight.
And chant wild in the woods as they dance
round a Yule- altar fungous and white.
To no gale of Earth's kind
Sways the forest of oak,
Where the sick boughs entwined
By mad mistletoes choke,
For these pow'rs are the pow'rs of the dark,
from the graves of the lost Druid-folk.
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Found the soundtrack to listen to while watching the stars die out.
I'll get around to more of Prava Kollektiv eventually... maybe. But for starters, Mahr's discography and a couple other albums. Matten
Arkhtinn is one of the best acts in the world of atmospheric black metal, and this album was the thing that got me hooked. It reminds me of other space themed bands like Mare Cognitum and Darkspace. honeycombguy
