Darknight Definitely my favourite record to listen to right at this moment in time, the guy is a genius who calls himself Ashes Of Nothing. I can hear influences from bands like Amenra and Neurosis, there's heaviness within the beauty. Favorite track: Placid.

The Depth 06:42
Walking the deserts of the unknown Helios riding across the skies Ashes forever will be reborn Nothing abiding the depths of time She waits With the snakes A veil Conceals her face Abhorrence Visions of despair A thousand serpents holding poison She lays there Completely unaware In crimson blood her body's floating But the bite is a heavy cross to bear Ominous presence Leading me astray And when the abyss presents all the answers The dusk will swallow the day Bottomless questions Feeding me decay The fruits of this bliss will turn into embers Her barren soul Swims in waves Barren soul Swims in waves Barren soul Swims in waves

Placid 07:47
Serenity, the blinding mask. No comfort in your words Reject the epilogue. Vacancy, consuming parasite. Treading water In death's dream kingdom. Transparencies and rivers of content. Reflecting surface A feeble human. Trepidations Of unspoken gold. Does your weakness define you? Condemnation Of your weary soul. Will your instinct guide you? To the bottom... Deep beneath the water The silence becomes my reality. I recognize the patterns within me Paths and gates beyond the real. Blackbirds circling above me Deep shadows receding into darkness below me I breathe I am Infinite mirrors staring at me Wars and bloody rivers passing through me. I extend my hand but the grasp is beyond my reach An empty sun within its empty vessel Naive and innocent like a child A blooming flower underneath the bridge of ambivalence. An unnerving sense causes me to Step inside these uncanny shadows Revealing nothing but the dirt from a precious stone. A beautiful sight to behold A diamond at the bottom of the ocean Fleeting knowledge that disappears within a fraction of a second. A flash of remembrance Of things past and lost wisdom This holy moment that will shake me to my core. Blackbirds circling above me Deep shadows receding into darkness below me I breathe I am Placid

(These senses, these senses In you You carry... Me Across the desert and.. Through) Revision The great return A sacred shift I am whole I'm nothing to the hollow (In this meadow of bones) Collision Shadows unveil In dissonance - awaken In reverie I am nothing To the hollow In this meadow Of bones I am nothing To the hollow In this meadow Of bones Collision Shadows unveil In dissonance - awaken In reverie In the distance Spirits prevail As echoes fill the hallways of Memories

about

On the cover for 'A Thousand Serpents Holding Poison' you see a tree (linden tree) that is overlooking the graveyard where both of my grandparents are buried. It is said to be over 500 years old and has become somewhat of a symbol of the village my grandparents are from. You must pass the linden tree to get to the town. One of my grandfather's daily routines was going on his morning walks to the tree, often visiting his parents' graves, sometimes just walking past it to get to town and meet up with his old buddies for a cup of coffee and a chat. Simple times. Good times. I took this picture a few years ago. I haven't been there since 2019 due to covid restrictions. Visiting again at the beginning of August. I wonder how the tree's holding up. It got struck by lightning a few years ago.

With that being said;

It's been a long time coming with this EP and I'm glad that I can finally... FINALLY let go of it, so I can move onto the next thing. I'm sick of hearing these songs but I'm proud with how they all came out. Everything in its right place.

Cheers

-Emil
