I was waiting for Bandcamp Friday with this in my cart and kinda forgot how it sounded, but I know for sure it’s top-notch and deserved to remain in that cart.
Edit: Oh, yeah, it’s that kinda trip-hop-ish post-black thingy! Nice indeed.
Nice find by Season of Mist.

Enter the Void
07:43
|

|
All I see are black waves flowing through
Shadows around me, trees with long, long roots
Shards of broken glass all over the room
Visions so vibrant I can't tell if they're true
Dim light starts to die
Tarred smoke wreathen inside
I vomit my lungs out
Trying to stop the pain in my mind
Enormous spiral stairs
Spiral down without end
Multitude of corridors
Have opened their doors
Deep water, dark sky
Wide open eyes
One tang sip of wine
One last breath of the wild
No light, far cry
A time to live and to die
Time to kill and time to fight
To circle in endless life
Timе to travel Arabian sands
To crush infinity in my hands
Time to enragе the heaven and hell
For eternity under my will to bend
Which way to choose, which doors to run through?
Where lie gold and gems or to the heights of despair?
Where black clouds wander
Or where the serpent crawls?
Where ocean meets the sand
Or to the abysmal cliff rand
This temple of bones
Shall soon be ruins
The essence shall leave its home
And trails to the void

I roam on the heights of despair
Where no other men can be
Looking through the eyes of the death
On the eyes of beholder
Flashing colours resonate in my brain
Cold air leaves no place
Breathe the air once so pure
In which deepest voids aren't somber
The gallows on the roof of the world
Have seen the farthest of the stars
Drowned in human defeat
Again and again and again
On these summits I am born again
Like phoenix in flames then phoenix in flight
Later I will turn into ash
Scattered into the sands of time
And every life has its own grief
And it will depart in fountains of spit
A new dawn arises
And a new end
Will come again
Heart that hit million times
For which deepest voids weren't somber
The gallows on the roof of the world
Have seen the farthest of the stars
Drowned in human defeat
Again and again and again
And again

Do you know how to catch feelings?
Do you know how it feels
When you feel good without
Nice experiences from the past?
I need to know what is real
What I don't want to feel
I gotta think about
The past and this time
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line
When you're crossing the line
Somebody can let you down
But when you're staying in time
Nobody see when you're crying
And when you're staying alone
Nobody know what is wrong
Sometime you need to try
Just cross the line
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line
When you're sitting on the street and you know that you're alone
Keep your hope still on and the soul turned on
When you're sitting on the street and you know that you're alone
Keep your hope still on and the soul turned on
When you're crossing the line
Somebody can let you down
But when you're staying in time
Nobody see when you're crying
And when you're staying alone
Nobody know what is wrong
Sometime you need to try
Just cross the line
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line
How do you feel
When you cross the line?
When you cross the line

Misanthur - Black Clouds & No Silver Linings Lyrics
I wonder how
one is able to sustain
under muddy waters
swims only for the brightest pearl
Never to
feel the happiness
Never to
comprehend
In this northern burden
ships of gray upon a
black clouds of emptiness
Lost and strangled
Never to
feel the happiness
never to
comprehend

Ephemeris
06:20
|

|
The great blaze in the sky
Star shine bright as it falls
A whispering north wind
A crackling ice on the wall
Bed of withered roses
The kiss at a summer's dawn
Sun that shoots at the street
Hair blessed by the autumn rain
A lonesome walk at night
The dreams with mystic eyes
Dim orange city lamps
The cigarettes smoke flies high
The old crumbling ruins
And an old wrinkled skin
The hours of ecstasy
And the days of a grief
I did not want to feel this again
Year after year
Bitter sea sized brood of tеars
I did not want to feel this again
Mouthful of chagrin
Fleetingness caught in the leavеs

The Serpent Crawls
09:14
|

|
Serpent crawls
Onto the feet of impure
We versus the world
The perfume of death
The scent of the grave
Serpent crawls
Onto the granite stone
The welcoming hands
Crush and fall
Scorched earth
Serpent crawls
Onto the marble statue
The love and the greed
Two lovers kiss
Serpent crawls
Onto a pile of stumps
The falling star
Will end it all
I tear apart the gray sky
With hands lift up high
Traverse through the deserts and the ruins
Regretting the chosen ways
Searing ash slowly falls
Covering naked bodies
Melting metal and steel
Creating tar black stream
Afterglow red and yellow
It comes at the dusk
Warm breeze burns my face
Serpent crawls
Onto the feet of impure
We versus the world
The perfume of death
The scent of the grave
Serpent crawls
Onto the granite stone
The welcoming hands
Crush and fall
Scorched earth
Serpent crawls
Onto the marble statue
The love and the greed
Two lovers kiss
Serpent crawls
Onto a pile of stumps
The falling star
Will end it all

I found myself
Where the ocean meets the sand
Watching the troubled tides
From the distance
I search for the way
Drifting in this sadness
I deserve nothing more
Teeth meet stones again
I hunt the whale
As I was hunting death before, when
My home like the boat
Wobbled right and left
Like house of leaves, everything
So fragile, dispelled by the wind
But there is nonе for me
There nеver was

about
The two prophets collected under the banner of MISANTHUR herald the fall and spiritual putridity of humanity by creating art resonating fully with pain, anxiety and degradation. Founded in Częstochowa, Poland in one night in 2015 by Hellscythe and Draugr, MISANTHUR begun to take form.
Inspired by metal and non-metal genres, MISANTHUR merge trance percussion, earthbreaking bass, crushing guitars and hellish vocals with (post)apocalyptic ambient landscapes and noise to create its own oeuvre and paint the stories and scenery of mundane spiritual wasteland.
The band’s debut record ‘Ephemeris’ was written with the aim of capturing the concept of personal degradation, one’s own journey into the deepest corners of consciousness, one’s own weaknesses, fears, and monsters hidden in ego and identity, in the context of the fragility and evanescence nature of human life.
The only constant thing is change. The only sure thing is entropy.

Striving Toward Oblivion
by VORGAsupported by 17 fans who also own “Ephemeris”
so many gems in this album but after i went through this in order for my review, i kept returning to this anguished call to humanity, an emblem of despair in vast nothingness. a shred of hope dashed, as this album as a whole speaks to the annihilation of the ideals of humanity and the pedestals they sit on - and what happens when we watch all that shatter. there are plenty of outer space themed albums, but VORGA brings us something worth listening to.

Everything comes together extremely well in this album. Probably my all time favorite black metal album now. The mix of atmospheric almost shoegaze playing leads extremely well into the intensity black metal normally has. The saxophone they use on almost all the songs really puts it above others in the genre for me.
