lyrics

now end it all
in the presence
of that simple image
in the presence
of constant dread
the presence
of loss

years hoarded
and overwrought
with the need to last
caught between the wounding past
and a loathsome future
weary in their presence

after all this time
laid waste
imposing upon ease
inducing loss
a requiem
to honour the memories
no longer
recalled
such value
in decay

a need to withdraw
explore the unmediated
a lone voice
to years lost
another dream
swept aside
for the merely repeating
surrounded by the means
to fail again
a lone voice
these years lost

these vows to which I have been bound
weary of the grip I've held
wrought with vision
no longer sought
my heart first opened
to boundaries expanse

all was lost
in instant
for now I wield
fear and risk

I've known the steps
I take

this barren
surround

about

Of Spire & Throne Edinburgh, UK

Of Spire & Throne have been chipping the same few down-tuned fragments of riff off the doom coal-face at the end of the same dank and airless tunnel since 2009. They have no plans to resurface.

Terminal
by Bongripper

supported by 21 fans who also own “In The Wake”

Comme Satan Worshipping Doom et Miserable, Terminal est un album qui vraiment toute son ampleur quand il est écouté d'une traite car il s'agit d'une lente agonie qui s'étend sur presque trois-quarts d'heure. Les sonorités psychédéliques propres à Bongripper sont absentes et le stoner/doom metal du quartette tend plutôt vers une sphère atmosphérique (certains arpèges de "Slow" ne sont pas éloignés de celles de Earth) voire funéraire et la mort finit par s'imposer comme la seule évidence possible.
