DARK INNER ILLUSIONS
A distorted perception in a dream mirage
The refraction of the mind revealing itself
The hope of the future beckons bleak
Psychedelic swirls of despair appear
The darkness and cold of night is near
Alone with ominous thoughts of ending
Why bother with such turmoil
The inevitable last breath is dated
Waiting to carry you away

THE ENDURING PREVAIL
Gotta be head strong in this rat race
Need to be a real man and do all you can
No weakness or tears please
Keep concealed your inner fears

UNKNOWN ENTITIES
In the darkest recesses of your mind
They dwell, waiting to exist once more
A host to consume, of the unnerving kind
As they take hold you are frozen to the core
A possession or other voices calling?
This nightmare takes on any form
A sensation of vertigo sets in, falling...
Falling deeper into the abyss yet it’s warm
An enshrouding comfort in an unknown state of reality
All the ghosts of the past reunite this night
Faces obscure, facing the past with terror
Haunting the present day with an unforgiving frown
Life’s continuing journey to eventually drown

When the Stars Gather

WHEN THE STARS GATHER
The accumulation of life’s dreams seem infinite somehow
Often obstruction is relentless in its passing,
causing woe
When mindfulness becomes symmetry
Our thoughts are gathered in the stars
And when nirvana is finally obtained
We dissipate into cosmic shards

REFLECTIONS
To glance upon oneself
Reflects self loathing inside
All emotions left on the shelf
With inner fears left to hide
This darkness that lingers
And the cold consumes you
Through the dark long winter
A past which I once knew
Never to gaze, never to indulge
To give oneself... completely
A vulnerable state to divulge
Better to store away neatly
As the mirror distorts all perceptions inside
All is revealed within the void

EXPOSED TO THE DEEPEST PHOBIAS
To the dawning of the morn
Weathered, tattered and torn
Bringing forth decay
In an uncertain world
The mind is open wide
Unable to hide inside
All once concealed now revealed
Exposed to those deepest fears
It takes some time to realise
In the darkness and the rain
And when life seems unkind
Remember to carry the flame

MYSTERIES OF THE ENVELOPING NIGHT
As the darkness and shadows embrace
The cold winter moon night takes its place
With dark thoughts in mind
The mystery of existence ever so hard to find
Gazing at the frozen moon
The spectres surround in empty gloom
Take this time to ponder the stars
As time has only revealed the mental scars
Those distant dreams are now fading
The brooding rain starts cascading
Washing the memories away
Standing in solitude... in pain
The ghosts mourn until dawn
Trees entanglement only symbolises
All the chaos in those draining years
Directionless, yet searching...

This Silent Distance
by Scent of Silence
Fantastic DSBM from Italy with coldwave and shoegaze influences. Basically this album sounds like a black metal version of Lycia!

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 12 fans who also own “Unknown Entities”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

listened Saturnian bloodstorm first, then this. Completely different band. Bloodstorm is Immortal, this is, well, different.

From the shadows comes a new EP from Sweden’s De Arma, full of dark gothic majesty.

Rake Me Over The Coals Tonight
by High Marks
Beautifully punishing minimalist goth-industrial on the latest from High Marks—distortion-caked and delightful.
