Sadness [1994]

by Avernus

Aldo Quispel This is possibly the best death-doom metal release of all time. I still own this in the original
demo format and glad to see it released digital also. This is pretty much how death-doom should sound and the bar for most other bands to strife for.

The exceptionally low fi demo recording only adds to the oppressive feel of this release.

A forgotten classic. Favorite track: Anastasia.

gordeth This is one of greatest death/doom recordings of all time. It's overflowing with feelings of both melancholy and rage and the songs will be forever embedded in your brain. I still have it on cassette and CD but I'll buy every format that it gets released on. A nice vinyl pressing would be extremely welcomed.

and i curse your world, and i curse your sun... for in your ivory world i am no-one and i left my soul, where the sleeping shadow's lie... and i find my soul where forgotten shadows die so empty here, in my usurperous awakening... so empty here, in this life i am forsaking the light is burnt and bereaving, upon the shore, grieving... an ocean black beneath me, my endless sea of evening life is burned before me... in the endless sea of eve ash of dark lit serenity... in the endless sea of eve lies wash over me... in the endless sea of eve lies watch over me... in the endless sea of eve veil of atrocity... in the endless sea of eve hides my face, it hides my heart... in the endless sea of eve oblivion deliver me... in the endless sea of eve to the father of all dark... in the endless sea of eve falling from the clouds, and crying celestial tears I will come to scorn them all... those who manifest my spirit and i curse your world, and i curse your sun... for in your ivory world i am no-one and i found my soul, where the sleeping shadow's lie... and now i leave my soul in hopes that it will die...

so beautiful is your naivete... angelic... pathetic... i'll break your fucking wings! the breast of fruitful dreams, be pierced and let them bleed What foul, endearments bring... when seraphim shall sing black-spined and alone, my bitter thorns adorn your grief of what dark, is a heart, that beats inside of me inside of me i am love. i am hate, i am love... know no god i'm in you

Anastasia 08:06
my heart once fell in decadence, for my all I've been alone until the night brought life unto the dead, and her name was mine, unknown she wore the awe of moonlight, her haunting aire, i breathed in deep at night we danced in the silhouette of eternity... Soul-fire burning... just kill me now! the torch in my blood, burned in her hands i fell to her feet, and bled for her love she ripped out my heart, and gave it to me i'd die in her arms, but she was never there... Anastasia... my beautiful grave... my heart once fell in decadence, for my all I've been alone until the night brought life unto the dead, and her name was mine, alone...
4.
your name sang a most elegant choir... the sound of angels, how i wish it's possession your arms, an ocean, that i'd drown in love's a soul, enchanting, yet so forlorn my adore....... fornevermore... how i would've died for you.. your name across my wrist now the earth will glamour you cause without me, you don't exist...
