about
The autumn pu-erh is exhumed
From soaking soil
Silhouettes in black coats
Armed with a pickaxe and a shovel
They march through the night and rain
To the place where they buried
The delicious black pu-erh
Six feet under the blackest earth
A long time ago
With piety
The time is nigh to unburrow
Dark delights are scarce these days
All that’s left is trembling
An emptiness under the sun
A slow demise in a hasty world
On this splendid eve
The mellow taste of the tea
Becomes alive once again
It takes over from inside us
Like a Lovecraftian horror
The dark current flows
From the bowels of the teapot
Into the Chinese cups
We listen to Epistemological Despondency
Just like in the autumn of 1998

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again.
I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom. fluo

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
