Days Of Starvation
14:01

The moon was full after three months of starvation.
My wife died the last night, my son and I were left alone.
He was so skinny and pale, and the only thing I could do to save him,
Was to cook his mother and serve her to the dinner.
The night was dark and the fire strong.
Together around the massive table we were eating part of our own heart.
In our mouths her cheeks were so delightful.
We had enough meat for a week, until I find a new corpse.
In the silence of these mourning days,
I have taken a decision to save my son.
We lived near a village where everybody suffered from starvation,
The people was weak and desesperate
The moon was hidden by clouds, and no stars shone.
I went out into the night to hunt, between the shadows.
A child wept for his dead father in the street, holding his corpse.
It was my first kill, first of a long series, to survive, for my son.
My son I will be there for you, don't fear the hunger.
My son, the winter is cruel with us, but don't forget, I love you.

Cursed Winter

My son and I have survived three months more.
But the winter was too hard for him,
He died during the night in his peaceful sleep.
Finally I was alone, with no one to take care of.
The Villagers were almost all dead, and I had to leave my house.
From the meal of our first child's limbs we didn't pray anymore.
I have seen on my son's body and my own body the first transformation.
Our nails have fallen replaced by huge things between nails and claws.
We have lost our hair, and our skins were so pale.
Since his death I could not sleep anymore.
My eyes glowed red when I left the house.
I've reached the closest village, and have taken refuge in the sewers.
After two weeks of hunts and human feasts,
Villagers slept in the church with bright fires.
The storm came quickly, and the wind was so strong.
The roof broke down on all these good christians.
I have enough meat for a month, in this dead village.
I have time before I leave to hunt elsewhere.
I know I am no more human. I know I am cursed.
I keep the skull of my son with me. That's all that's left from my humanity.
I hate myself, I hate the one I became.
I know now I'm cursed. But I must live.
For my son.

Abigail's Dream
16:37

My first contact with Abigail was in a dream
I saw her body lying on a stone
and my hands lighting incense
in a perfect circle inside a cave
two days ater i felt the urge to descend
to the cellar in the basement
and clean the spiderwebs from one of the walls
leaving it free for easy access
the following days are blurred in my mind
I know I have bought incense and a kit to made incense
I know I have studied the map of the nursery
but i prefer to not remember how i have woke her
i only know a newborn was lost
and the wall I cleaned was broken down
her dreams have possessed my mind
I can't do anything to fight her
now by my fault she is awake
abigail the great witch
I am becoming her slave
And every night of the new moon
I went out and steal a newborn
She is hungry and needs it to recover her strength

Wolfman

I don't know how it happened, but now it's too late.
I have tasted the human flesh, and can't avoid my hunger.
I live under the curse of the wolf, every night.
Hear my confession about my crimes.
I woke up in my bed soiled by blood.
My jaw and my muscles were painful.
And my mind tormented by an ambiguous fear.
I had impression I had not only slept.
Later in the day I learnt a young woman was found dead.
Her body was viciously shredded and devoured.
Policmen thought it was a wolf or a wild dog.
I was so troubled by the news and felt remorse, but I didn't know why.
During the following week, three corpses were found.
All dismembered and partially eaten.
And each morning of the macabre discoveries,
My hands were covered in blood.
I decided to chain my feet to the bed and see what would happen.
After two nights nothing happened, but no corpse was found.
The third morning I woke up on the floor of my house,
My bed totally destroyed, and the news of a new murder.
At this point, i knew i was the killer,
But I remember nothing about the bloody nights.
I eat barely anything during the day, and now I know why.
Two months have passed during which I ate only human flesh.

Abysmal Growls Of Despair UK
Onemanband of extreme musics, drifting through a wide range of sounds like ritualistic dark ambient, drone and funeral
doom.
"It's just so overwhelming that it overtakes you and, like I said, a few times I had to switch it off to take a breath and escape the suffocating grip this yields on the body and spirit."

one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you.

Intellectus Iudicat Veritatem nous faisait ressentir le poids des monades, autant de grains d'un impossible tas de sable. Dans IVIIV, Monads nous fait entrer à l'intérieur même de la monade. Cet album est une sphère parfaite qui coupe du monde. En s'associant avec Déhà à la production, le son de ce doom metal est plus harmonieux et même plus rond, Déhà jouant le rôle de deuxième bassiste en accompagnant J. Frederix. Mais être dans la monade, ça a aussi pour conséquence une atroce solitude...

Funeral Doom has long interested me, yet some of it can be meandering and monotonous. perhaps it was a bad band and perhaps it hadn't clicked for me. Perhaps it was just age and now being older than when I was a teenager helps that. perhaps OM is just crushing and dense and has no problem being epic and thunderous. It is finally time to dive deep into Funeral Doom. 4.5/5
