Xuruff Uau uau uau.
One of the most unique sounds I have heard in the last couple of years. Sick guitar tone. Love the voice layering. I can´t even decide on a track. Despite hearing a distinct start and end on each music, it feels whole as a set.
This even gives me some weird Pink Floyd vibes. I guess the clean voice? I dont know but it feels amazing!
Keep up the work man, sick !

YomaBarr As if you rode a train made of glass across the sea bottom. Sirens, seahorses and stuff. Ah, and jellyfish. Lots of jellyfish. Actually all this sea seems to be made of jellyfish.
And I didn't even look at the name of the band, I swear!

Dream I 03:05

"The cancels piling in my head The wound barriers between us.. I saw the half visible moving into my body it's haunting presences Fake it in my limbs and livers, springs and winters, autumns and summers alike.. Oh it's present, oh it's here, But have no fear Oh you know it's constructed, though it's always been there Atypical energies Friends stealing my focuses, foes breaking my bones All locked me in a tree of thoughts with labyrinth roots The unknown known, this unknown knows, The unknown knows.. Not anymore today is the days, not anymore self loathing and angst Real enemies are out in the suns : my shadows are havens Plotting the fall of uprooting fevers Conciliabules of repressed hopes, transcend fears to dismantle tyrants Tears of the dreamers aimed at thrones of the drowners Feeding the right wolves as worlds collapse The need for self determination, the right to breathe You're not drifting - this path is your sister Those swords wait for your vision to flicker As you walk it to a perception greater You already know how to defend the scents Suns rise again, countless mornings await Mantras for benzodiazepines Half visible presences expanding your mind's eye" (Music : October 2010 ; Words : October 2015)

"O otherworldly screams, Surface lights in those stagnant waters Help glue our scattered selves and focuses, send the streams to swim back To repulse what had invaded as guards went asunder To fight those tempting drownings sent from structures higher Highlight, appoint the processes instilling those morbid alienations Despair as an only path, the terror, the kafkaïan Those pallid existences sold to us with the weakest hopes for improvement next to the strongest easy way-outs.. Oh no wonder the drowned, oh no wonder the crumbles.. See the gateways It's here Breaks open with struggles Destruction, reconstruction, one day the cements will hold Im better drowned and fighting Rafts for hopeless hopes.. You'll scream too We will all join this choir of ghosts This beautiful tremendous ancestral force Perpetually screaming at kyriarchies As future and past ancestors You'll scream too.. " (Music : October 2015 / Words : November 2015)

"Those ambient absurdisms.. what made it real? What gave me those answers? So, it seems it knows everything - how could it be? What gave it that power? Looking around - devouring emptiness Voids tamed by plastic goals, systemic torrents of piss on our dreams Absurd, those burdens I dont want to bear Riposte materialistical and mystical If this feels real and sound, this is real and sound Matter of perception, this is real and sound Longtime buried, my inner worlds without ends Real enough, as long as I feed them Reconstruct through invisible, through immanence Where seems there's none, I'll grow as many senses as I can Swarms of wounders? Crutches of faith I'll wash my time of those void-filled taints which prevents it to be Let the wanderers see what they chose to see The wounded put the S back to their realities If this feels real and sound, this is real and sound Matter of perception, this is real and sound Strenghtening the S of of my realities My absurds tremble as the weight of their burdens is shattered on the floor As I travel to regain the potentials, as I march to reclaim for more" (Music : January 2013 / Words : November 2015)

"Vieilles pierres, repavez mes airs de l'ancien monde Des fantômes de ces temps où tout semblait encore Intouché par la crasse des bétonnières ambiantes Goûter la paix du vieux village, celle qui attend, vieilles pierres Ces fragrances aigre-douces, puissent-elles durer toujours Et le chaos des herbes folles envahissant tout telles des onguents mus par les déesses Chemins arpentés enfant, et leurs mystères Pouvoir de l'isolement que j'ai appris à désirer Depuis les ruines du vieux monde, je ne souhaite que vos chutes Y travaille inlassablement et m'évade au gré du mistral ancestral.." (Music : January 2015 / Words : February 2017) (+ Dream II, Music : April 2017) ENGLISH VERSION "Old stones, pave my airs with the old world With the ghosts of those times When everything still seemed untouched By the crass of omnipresent cements.. To taste the old village's peace The one awaiting, old stones Those bittersweet fragrances.. May they last forever, And the wild weeds chaos Invading everything, like ointments Applied by the goddesses Paths explored as a child, And their mysteries Powers from isolation Which I learned to desire.. From the old world ruins, I'm only wishing for your falls Working on it tirelessly And evading myself Through the ancestral wind.."

"Oh precious trees and smells, priceless paths Sceneries of inner legends.. I knew it alive, I knew it lived in these green brown darknesses Felt it swarming with earth magick, felt it thrive in harmonies Protected from the crawl of concretes, barriers of soil and leaves Barriers of sacredness, earthwalls away from our sadnesses Earthwalls away from our pains, earthwalls away from our pains Earthwalls away from our pains Needless to say I was wronged, as we all are Disrooted beings trapped in this megastructure Roaming in sceneries of steel and competition Whatever's left grinded by "civilization" Pollution fueled illnesses, inner, outer Heartaches resulting from severed links with nature Copses threatened, temples rampaged You dont own any of what lives here - cease or be prepared Prepared to face the consequences for you or your childrens Life on a planet devoid of lungs Devoid of future, Devoid of hope Oh looking at you I understand How easy it is for some To come to view our species As cancer of planet earth Oh when your armaggedons will fatally come When the logics of systematic dominations Will end up ravaging your home When none will be able to escape the Drown You wont be spared Money wont save you forever Nations either We're all in this together As for me, watching it fall, As helpless as we all are I'll try to enjoy this reprieved life as close to the scents as I'll manage To coil and feel Protected from the crawl of concretes, Barriers of soil and leaves, barriers of sacredness Earthwalls away from our sadnesses, earthwalls away from our pains Earthwalls away from our pains, earthwalls away from our pains" (Music : October 2015 / Words ; December 2015)

"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)

"Taus som graven siger skodden Våt og mork mot skogen Legger seg olmt til rette så Og hvisker kald og tett Alvefolk og tuss og troll I rad De vadrer frem I denna senhost, morke natt Lusker hver en vett For a gi seg hen I nattens vandring gjenom skog Og mark, hvor stillhet råder For fred er makt og styrke der Hvor taken herjer fritt For lumsk er Den, så hver en sjel Ser frelsens dunkle trone åpne seg I fjernt et syn Dithen Vi drar skritt for skritt Dit hvor dette kuldemorket Og frihet råder mektig Der tilvaerelsen vil åpne seg For evige nattens-timer Der aldri solen reiser seg Og torker tort hvert blad Der hvor dommedagens bjeller Henger på HANS borg og kimer Men en tåkferd må gjemme seg Natten står på hell Og solen titter avskyselig opp Mellom hoye og bratte fjell Dog en tid skal komme Hvor man styrter lysets sete Og alle alle dens disipler skal Fortvilet I morket lete Soke efter en lysets gud Som morkets tjenere da har drept Og pinefullt skal de straffes for Sin uvinnelige dårenskap Fellen trådde De I selv Da de provde a felle deb sorte horden Pines I all evighet Som uverdiga slaver av Satans orden"

about

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.
