The Wandering Daughter

by Piah Mater

supported by

Ghigigi A great, very Opeth-inspired prog-death album. Full review here: wp.me/pawrNb-15

Nick What I love about this music is that it seems to take a hell of a lot from old Opeth but it really stands on its own. It's a very delectable progressive death metal experience. Favorite track: Solace in Oblivion.

Track Name: Solace in Oblivion: Lurid,
Their eyes glow in face of the morning dawn
Godless
All life stems from the sun,
Now their sole guidance

Brought into the realms of evil
To catalyze the course of grief
Raking through the dire remembrance
Onward into the woods

The lamb lies dormant by the blackened stake
Gnawing the breasts of a burning, a crippled burning witch

Lost to the past
Harboring tears of anguish
In the form of eulogy

Solace is found
In the hands of a strangling forest
A foul deliverance

He walks into the shrine of inner solitude
To find nature's descent and chaos seeping through
(All come into view)

Headlong into the blinding white
Prone to disappear
Fair to the eyes of a martyred father's son

The sun casting her shade over fallen ruins
Rests earlier than these eyes sanctify its hues
(As she bathes in the dew)

Could all these trials leave one undaunted
to all but guilt's smothering fog?
The lowering stars seal her bloodshot eyes
Sinking further down the mat of leaves

And when words failed you,
You let your body tell the story
One of many endings and many beginnings
A fable of sorrow and solitude
Now hot-forged into your skin

It was sore
But by the time the tears started flowing
They were quickly muted by the hammering of the nail
So you let out a scream
One loud enough to deafen nature’s pantheon
If only they could listen

You roar
Hoping that every salted wound
Every ounce of charred skin,
Every blooddrop yet to taint the crust of the earth
Could find a voice in the howling of the wind

For then,
and only then
Peace would be known to men.

Headlong into the blinding white
Prone to disappear
Safe in the prayer of a mother, long gone…

Forgotten tales of winter
Recited to the wind by heart
An unknown heritage of bygone spirits
Those words were everything that's left

Augured exile
Trapped in the lair of wolves
An ailing sinner's strain
Fled from the distant
Beacons of excess
To die in the squalor of failed ambitions

Violence is slowly tearing open a rift inside
Stillborn deconstruction
Reveals all that never was
An ode to patriarchy

Empires will rise
Kings, enthroned
Come the deluge
All shall succumb
Track Name: Sprung from Weakness: Chaos
Spreads
Weighing down
Bound to reign

Drifting from the heavens
Cold feathers tear the lungs of earth
Devoid of strenght
Salted waters swallowing dry

The healing is over
Back to the shore
To our stranded carrion

What's driven us so far?
The burden of time
Or the deafening sounds of murmurs
Ringing still...

It all sprung from weakness
And like tare in fields of wheat, the threat was mirrored
The heart of old ambitions
Won't take the pain away
Away…

Violence speaks in tongues unknown
Luring to the serpent’s call
This forest breathes its final light
Across our mortal great divide

Pressure
And the void it fills
The pulse of the waters
Washes off the blood

Crestfallen,
The demons wailed
The sea covers
A memory lost to shame

Vengeance
The fall of men
Now the trees are the only witness left to stand
But they show no mercy

Crestfallen,
The demons wailed
The sea covers
A memory torn to shreds

The tide is churning
Reflections whirl
The scars are merging
All hope is gone

It all sprung from weakness
Like plague in fields of green
The heart of all ambitions
Won't take the pain away
Track Name: The Sky is Our Shelter: Starry eyes open in silence
Fate is sealed, from here until the lights go out

The falling leaves
Meet us at the brink of madness
Woefully
Dreading for the moment we'll sink

How could you’ve barely spared me a sound goodbye
The tears that never flowed are corroding inside

You've forsaken me
Hopeless in my darkest hour
Failing to see
Our paths are entwined eternally

Far behind,
Years of endless rain
I was the one you failed one last time

Halfway there
And back into your arms
To see the light of day one last time

Now come outside, the sky is our shelter
In the aftermath of our dystopian dream

Far behind,
Years of endless rain
I was the one you failed one last time

Halfway there
And back into your arms
To see the light of day one last time
Track Name: Earthbound Ruins: It is mine
The earth and the skies
And all living things in between
Share my blood

In the vast wild beyond
Nothing transcends the equivalence of nature's will

It is neither by the course of the herd
Nor by the light of a dead god
I tread my path

Yet tonight, the mountains have cried
The current of every river
Leads to me

Here is my ambition
Here is my escape
A haven to all who strayed

Derision in my words
For all that is dying
As seasons pass them by

Standing there for too long
Absorbing the essence of the moon and sun…

That was me
Barefoot on searing embers
Reeking of sweat
Hauling the stones uphill
Helplessly fettered to a swollen shadow
Heavy and worn
A blow of lethargic splendor

Those wounds will never mend
or barely resemble the former serenity of these placid eyes
And as specks of dust filled up my lungs
I reminisced on days of spring
The solitude of hours crashing at those who wait while pain lingers
Invite me to one last dance by the edge of my soul's cliff

And there lied my convictions
There lied my defenses
Home to my failed pretenses

Befoulment of virtue
Caught in the twilight of defeat
Paralyzed

No remnants of a past when kings strode the earth
No treasured monuments stand aloft
No sacred songs were hummed, no candles lit
The shrine I've risen here feeds off the lore of the free

Safe in the light
A rest by the shoals of memory
Gone with the tide
Waiting a moment of truce

Flags in the pyre
Leave it to the fallen ones to lead
We greet springtime
And lay bare our minds in the sun

And there we unwind
While planets align
Rejoicing our amnesty
Oh, our amnesty…
And it occurs to me that I'm the only one with a name to forget

Safe in the light gone pale in the morning I lost you…

And silence followed then
As cold as the nightfall
Bringing forth a solemn farewell sealed with doubt
A point of no return streched out over years
The shrine I've sought in ruins resides in the heart of the free
Track Name: The Meek's Inheritance: Nourisher of ancient lands soon to be depleted of all life,
Kiss the cold winter goodbye and reveal the tenets of your ascension

Healing wounds of emptied hands will cauterize
Leaning towards the abyss of a man-made paradise
Caught in the flare of our impending dawn
Ashes of a home
Carried with the flow

Babylon,
Aglow tonight for it burns the eternal flame of opulance
Blood in the wool
The venom runs deep within you, delivered are the feeble

Weaker by the hour
And growing used
To everlasting afflictions
Long stigmatized
Our cries erase the blood that soiled this flag
Ambitions running low
Exiled far below

There is a force of hidden nature still blurring the lines of all that's sacred
Reaching for the eye that lurks within
Vigil to those in ties of kindred
Behold!
The limb that binds us all as one
As one host of the same home
One hostage of the same God -
Greed

Vile is the man that drills the oceans
For he cares not of its demise
Until it's gone…
I inherit the salt of the earth alone

Framed as a god in desolation
Rolling the dice to heed the calls
From a crumbling throne
I inherit the flies of the world alone
I carry the weight of a soul unredeemed

Hear my voice echo on
And soar to ends of the Earth
Frail and scarred
We're finding our way across the edge of time

The course of redemption
For one sin of Nature's own
Is the plight of a nomad
Through the unspeakable awe on him bestowed

The darker sap that now
Drips from the thighs of our mother
Will soon quench the thirst
Of those who seek a place in the throne

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 24 fans who also own “The Wandering Daughter”

It seems like every year one band rises from relative obscurity to deliver a genre and decade defining masterpiece, and Sleep at the Edge of the Earth was that album in 2015. The mix of lilting folk melodies, imperious orchestrations and titanic slabs of death metal literally redefined what I though metal bands were capable of. Easiest 5/5 ever J H
