I'm writing a book series and near the end of the series there's a location that I kind of based off of this song, a deep lake in the woods from which madness emanates, with strange ruins found deep below the surface. The atmosphere this song creates is unparalleled and I could only hope to capture that in writing when that time comes
@@abdrex2139 So I literally have ten books worth of story that I plan on writing, and this takes place book seven, but book 1 is done and in the editing phase. I'll probably have book 1 out next year!
@@pedromgła In my story there's an evil godlike being buried deep below the ground, and all of the deepest points of the planet that are closest to his presence are places of madness. There was an archeological investigation of the lake and every diver went mad, because the lake is the deepest cave on the planet
Written in the waters... "Our shadows seep into the dusk like cranes that melt into the pool; a black lake in which they descend pale ghosts caress the nidstång in the dark its face scarred by the ages, its curse sent with heathen breath to poison the waters of the black lake We are... we are the faces below the ripples A deep sorrow travelled through the woods And found a home in our humble grave" "I've sent this peril... To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows And you are but gods watching from below at the base of the totem in the black temple of the Earth I am... I am the silence inside the tomb You created the stars and gave birth to all the heavens; the darkness of space and time So go... go to the nightside end below" Where have all the noble cranes gone? Where have all the stags disappeared to? Piled below in the tomb of this burdened pool a curse to those who corrupt these sacred woods a curse to those who taste this solemn water No unhallowed breath shall seal a fate before me Join the drowned in the silence of the black lake's womb Accursed... written in the waters...
This might not be my favorite Agalloch Song overall but this probably has my favorite Vocal performance by the Bands Singer John Haughm. The part at 7:20 when he starts screaming in a crying like way is so beautiful and unique. An absolute massive piece of a Song thats among their best in their discography.
Agreed. It sounds like that segment is the heathen who sent the curse speaking. In the context of the second line of that verse "To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows", they voice really sounds like it gazed upon the peril of all sorrows.
Always coming back to this song for the part at 12:25. It's like taking me, transcending me to another place, another world, rarely have I had such feelings from music...
I never knew this was all one song. I always thought it like 3 different songs. I've been listening to this album for years. it's my go-to zone-out programming music. anything agalloch. it feels like i'm coding with a longsword
The bass at 11:02 gives me chills down my neck, my back and into my soul......... I feel like I lose myself into the bottomless pit of my own depression and thought. I feel heavy and like lead....I don't know if I want to come back.
Esta canción viene de otro mundo; distante, congelado, lleno de oscuridad, lleno de luz, lleno de un resplandor sagrado. El mito, el ritual, lo onírico, lo innombrable acontece aquí; la máxima expresión del Metal; la creación y la disolución. El universo todo. Gracias por el regalo Agalloch.
thank you for the information sir, this band is also from Oregon right?... i ve always been in love with the pacific northwestern forests, Oregon and Washington, amazing places
@@rolandoestradachang639 John is from Montana, for what I know, the others from Washington and Cali, I think, but they were based in Portland, and yes, the Pacific Northwest, northern California, northern Idaho, Washington and Oregon are wonderful, trees and rivers everywhere. ❤️
"Where have all the noble cranes gone? Where have all the stags disappeared to? Piled below in the tomb of this burdened pool a curse to those who corrupt these sacred woods a curse to those who taste this solemn water" Agalloch, I salute you...
Um mergulho em águas frias, congeladas, que, no entanto, te aquecem. Que te consomem sem que você se desintegre. Essa banda é um verdadeiro espetáculo de sentimento e clima áspero, enevoado. Imoral! Hail Agalloch
This makes me think of the end of ''Melancholia'; that melancholy, atmospheric sense of impending doom. Actually, I can picture these guys doing the soundtrack to most any Lars Van Trier or Werner Herzog film.
É incrível o quanto eu não me canso de ouvir essa música, o sentimento gélido, ríspido e sensível que a música passa é de outro mundo, certamente uma música imortal que não carrega consigo tempo de validade
sim, agalloch leva o conceito de ser um black metal atmosférico a outro nível, infelizmente é algo que somente eles conseguem fazer, isso nos deixa carentes de bandas que possam passar a mesma sensação.
LETRA: Lago Negro Niðstång Escrito nas águas [Voz dos mortos] Nossas sombras infiltram-se no crepúsculo Como guindastes que se fundem na piscina Um lago negro em que eles descem Pálidos fantasmas acariciam o Niðstång no escuro Seu rosto marcado pela idade Sua maldição enviada coma respiração pagã Para envenenar as águas do lago negro Nós somos, nós somos as faces abaixo das ondulações Uma tristeza profunda viajou através dos bosques E encontrei um lar nosso humilde túmulo [Voz do Niðstång] Eu enviei este perigo Para o mundo; este perigo espalhará todas as dores E eles que não são nada além de deuses Observando abaixo da base do totem No templo negro da Terra Eu sou, eu sou o silêncio dentro da sepultura Você criou as estrelas E deu à luz todos os céus A escuridão do espaço e tempo Então vá, vá o final da noite abaixo Para onde foram todos os guindastes nobres? Para onde todos os cervos desapareceram? Empilhados abaixo no túmulo desta piscina sobrecarregado Uma maldição para aqueles que corrompem essas madeiras sagradas Uma maldição para aqueles que provam esta água solene Nenhuma respiração profana selará um destino diante de mim Junte-se ao afogado no silêncio do ventre do lago negro Maldito, escrito nas águas
all their albums are great. I know many feel the mantle or even ashes is their best work, I personally like marrow the best. Its a little light on the number of songs but each song on marrow is truly magical. This has my vote for best agalloch song.
