lyrics
Hair braided twigs
Embers of grief
Sail sail sail
To the sea sea sea
The beast is out today
Got your hair knows you’re name
Drown drown drown
With the waves waves waves
Upside moon
Traced by fear cracked nails
Tell the wind and the trees
Tell the woods and the sea
Mirror of death
Every breath a regret
Call call call
Storms of fire
To take your soul

Thanx to my friends for providing me my first Midi keybord that absolutely blew my head: Andrea, Pilvia, Liz, Thomas.
"Embers" is an unexpected experimental project with an extra extended expansion. The extended expansion will be released as an independent project called AD CRYPTAS soon, feel free to ask for more details.
Marthe returns!!! Awesome to hear her back and she does not disappoint. Within awaits a book of wrath, a grimy manifesto of blackened punk fury, incendiary and venomous. Marthe effectively carves her place of riot grrrl-style spitting punk, crabwalking into the icy night with the best of the Norwegian black metal wave. Pure, barbaric, atavistic, driving. A beautiful borderland, full of stern rocks and fierce wind, between the realms of all the heavy musics we love. pinkytheent
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
