about
This is the first track we wrote for this project, it's the main reason why the band exists, the result of a friendship and our addiction for Agalloch.
lyrics
I'm travelling amongst arboreal paths,
forgotten by man.
The vegetation around me is decadent, as much as my mood,
nevertheless it's the first time in my life i feel so carefree.
This chilly autumn wind blows on the leaves,
through my hair and fills my lungs.
From the roots of an oak i look for a cure,
my limbs intertwined in the branches,
trying to recover the link with nature that this world has torn from me.
I no longer tolerate the sick urban prison,
contaminated by uselessness.
I desire simplicity,
the only thing
that makes me feel alive,
to be different.
Look at what i am now,
a desolate man searching for spiritual rebirth,
through solitude and contemplation,
staring at the grey autumnal skies, aware of what i choosed for me.
The key to my health is there.
Every dissatisfaction seems to be the result of the aridity inherited from asphalt and concrete,
this gray vision that I have been carrying with me for a long time.
Where everything tends to fall and deteriorate,
as the deadwood breaking at my feet,
so dreary, not unlike from what nurtured me for years...
a gray cloud that has accompanied me through these years.

Ofte jeg drømmer mig død
by AFSKYsupported by 6 fans who also own “Autumnal Mood”
The cover painting (Udslidt by H A Brendekilde, if anyone is interested) and the music is in perfect alignment. So much sorrow, so much despair... Right from the start I can feel my soul wither away with each riff. Still, towards the end of the record I can catch little glimpses of hope in the melodies. A beautiful journey in the bleak reality of existence.

No stars, only full dark
by Windbruchsupported by 6 fans who also own “Autumnal Mood”
Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit.
