benmoshin AOTY for me
Paradoxically, this is such a soft and soothing album. The way the guitars and synth are EQed and mixed create a plush, warm blanket of emotion. When I listen to the melodies and chord progressions, I feel a sense of security and respite. This is solace reified in sonic form. This is an immersion in painfully hot yet relaxing water. This is safety found within the unknown. This is...heavenly form honestly. One man's hell is another man's heaven I guess.

Michael Carter Totally engaging and despite of being labeled as funeral doom this is a very uplifting and heartfelt record and it is rather wonderful!

aisthetic Due to great pacing, this might be the best doom record of 2023.

Deathless 12:41
Coated in ash A face Eyes closed Taken too soon By those too scared To see the light It poured from within In waves A light that shines To this day A candle flame That’ll never burn down You kick and scream Tear your soul Devoted to doctrines Less than a thousand years old You kill and hurt Because you can’t control You can take my life But I am Deathless You will never erase The love and grace The pain and joy The life lived A life that mattered A life I carry On my shoulders Every day You will never erase The sorrow and grief The hope, the truth You will never take My heart, my soul You can take my life But I am Deathless Bury us deep In a tomb For the years to keep The heart still beats Beneath the ground It pulses still beneath your feet It becomes the earth To blossom anew You can take my life But I am deathless I am deathless

Transfigure 11:54
First lesson Your body isn’t yours Words are scalpels Pain on the chalkboard Your brain is clay to mold With limitations of being We’ll lay the self-hatred Like paths and roads Your heart Hasn’t cooled to stone Your love Hasn’t been stolen from you Your joy turned into a dream you’ll won't know Your dreams They're all you have They try to take them from you Lock them tight Hide them until You barely recognize yourself You’ve been disfigured All of your life Don’t wait Until you’re lost To reawaken The part you’ve you think you've lost It’s not gone It’s buried deep within Waiting for you To bring it out Second lesson We are the sun A galaxy lives inside us The damage will be undone The body is yours To do with as you choose Excavate the future Your face shines through The landscape is boundless The form endless When your body awakens You will be reborn Beneath your toes is growth What’s in your hands is divine You hold fire and earth Within the folds of your mind Transfigure The body opens wide Crush the oiled tongues That trail behind Lay the paths With your insides This joy and love Diamonds in the sun They will never understand They are empty of dreams Locked away With their humanity They will never Come to terms With the discordance In their soul

Genocide in Texas The heartland follows suit Your soul is American Your feeble red, white, and blue Your alter covered in the blood of saints You kill your people Your children don’t belong Written out of existence To satisfy your god Greed and wrath for blood and bone A demon sits in a castle A cruciform of flesh for a throne A crown of thorns Lays twisted and torn The blood of Jesus drips from nails of stone America opens it’s jaws wide Eager to feed On its most vulnerable A sacrifice to its deity Of hate and greed You drink from the pool Of blood and tears Not my problem you say As you feast of the bones Of children with forgotten names The monster Has risen Consequences Are given You ignored Those lower It’s your turn To die Bargain for peace Internally, fill the void With empty promises To reconcile your soul There is no peace No refuge from blame This bed of bones Fills the world Circle the wagons Your identity in flames You’re the bad guy You have a name Complicity in moniker It’s all a game Reality is television You watch through a screen A mask covers our face Disguising beauty with rage We had no choice Revenge or death The world doesn’t want us We don’t belong It's not just Texas The earth has been overrun A mask covers our face Disguising pain with rage We have no choice It's love or death Texas is sinking America is sinking

Pink Tears 07:36
Tell me you love me Tell me you care You’re not alone I’ll always be here The mirror on the ground Lies in fragments Tell me you’re lonely Tell me you’re scared In the pink neon Beneath the rain You Look at me I wipe your tears Look at me You’ve severed your joy Look away I’ve never felt such pain Late at night You whisper my name I’m your shadow I’m your home You’re not alone You look around each corner For death But I am here with you By your side You’re not lost As you wander The empty streets For a place to sleep The rain is falling But I’ll be there If you need Tell me you love me Tell me you care You look at me I wipe your pink tears

about

Deathless is meant as a judgement of the purveyors of systemic transphobia and a balm to those suffering beneath its hold.
