Ashore

from It Weighed Itself In Silver by Exlimitir

lyrics

Stench pouring from the seabreeze, upon the beach a serpentine mass.
(It drifted overnight.)
Not quite an eel, not quite a squid, not quite a whale, yet very much the same.
So different that it repulses to view, alien to even name.
What is this thing?
Spanning half the beach, its rotting carcass pollutes the shallows.
No eyes, no mouth, no movement, no sound.

Sand is blood-soaked, air is stench-filled, and all is abnormally quiet.
The seagulls cower upon the peaks of the distant hills.
The massive thing -- too big to even climb -- is fully wreathed in limp tendrils.
And its skin, semi-translucent, reveals dimly glowing viscera.
The rotting thing is falling apart.
It's sail-sized fins are nearly gone, leaving a cartilage frame.

You notice its skin is undullating gently, as if a pressing from beneath.
The thing's skin moves more, to burst at the other end.
Pouring for from the rottting hole, a stream of human corpses.
They crawl towards you, gurgling your name.

They crawl towards you, gurgling your name.
Urging for you to become,
Become the same.

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

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
