""Long forgotten healing rituals
Bringers of empowered perceptions
The tastes and the smells of half visible
What lies beneath
White lies above
The potency we're longing for
Magicks of reappropriation
I'll be dancing for the hearts
Worlds without ends
Letting go the false, the nefast illusions of control
In the forests inhabited by future bliss
Nourish your lost connections, nourish the bonds between your bodies and souls
Nourish it with the soil and dead leaves
Nourish it with the chants
I am one with the power hidden in old worlds
I am one with the power of changing future wounds and tears and sorrow
I am one with the all and the other
With the might which comes by dreaming the dark
Cycles of loathing repelled from the presents
Sounds of the forests, sounds of the seas
To be one with the power of being one with life, with expansion
An end to retractations, an end to the coiled wreck
Danced"
(Music : January 2013 / Words : December 2015)"
A decade after the demos from 2008 and 2009, France's DREAMS OF THE DROWNED proudly presents its first album, set to be digitally released by Drowned Anthems Records for the spring equinox. on vinyl sometime this year by Duplicate Records (VIRUS, ORGAN;, BEYOND DAWN..) and on CD for June 15th by Cult of Nine Records. Melancholic, dense & psychedelic black / grey metal meets anarcho post punk, inspired by bands such as VED BUENS ENDE, KILLING JOKE, EMPEROR, BLIND IDIOT GOD, or AMEBIX.
Painfully and patiently crafted solely by multi-instrumentalist Camille from SMOHALLA and STAGNANT WATERS throughout years of wandering [with the exception of a DODHEIMSGARD's "Midnattskogens Sorte Kjerne" cover sung by its original inceptor, the one and only Aldrahn from URARV, THORNS, etc], and produced by HVN Recordings (URARV, WHIP, NUISIBLE..), this album is a necromantic attempt to keep the fire of some long-time missing aesthetics burning - and therefore honour them.
A collection of songs inhabited by european witchcraft, atypical mental states, the feeling of loss, the forest, the will to reclaim long-gone connexions and power from within, and the urge to properly name and subsequently confront power-overs.
