Dig the opening
Some brutal growls!
A bit like Opeth singer back when he growled!
Tasty!
Yes! Excellent! Old School death/doom! thanks for band and Dan Swano
I typed, "If I like Evadne..." and this came up. Very fortunate find
@Mother of Graves, The Caliginous Voice is one of the best songs of 2022. Great album! The doomers were in need of an album like this. Thanks.
This was some great death/doom metal, some of the riffs remind me of Monolithe.
Lyrics -
1.) Where the Shadows Adorn
Cast from the maw of dying skies
My blood and pain be upon you
And with velvet the oceans rise
A thousand shades of waning night, I fall to ash
A requiem spilled from damned eyes
Onto cold and forsaken lands
For there is nothing left to worship, I know
This beloved hell be my haven to mourn
Lulled by hymns that blind and curse my soul
Into the arms of infernal thorn
I dream beside the dead
I speak their ancient tongue
Sanctified in endless rain
In silence forevermore
I sink beneath the sands
Withered bone and empty hands
To wake where the shadows adorn
2.) Rain
My soul seeps into the arid soil
I purify in the ichor below
The bottomless wells
Of buried dreams and forgotten years
A eulogy of portraits damned
Painted in blood and tears
A vestige of words unspoken
And lost stories left untold
Of what could have been
And what shall be no more
Streaks of crimson cascade
Through the oaken shadows peer
Light my endless quest
Down the halls of dismal drear
As the moonlight mirros the sea
I gaze into a reflection cold and still
The stars above rain upon my lifeless flesh
And release me beyond this world at last
My soul seeps into the arid soil
I purify in the ichor below
Open the ethereal gates
Lure me to my longed rest
Pierce my hollowed heart
Bless me and be my death
3.) Tears Like Wine
Rot with me
Beneath the darkness and mire
In hallowed stone forever etched
Vanished from the eye of the sun
Crowned in glory and death
Follow me - poisoned angel
I wait for you in the searing black
I'll bury your fears far within the earth
I'll drink your tears like wine
Flow through me your river of pain
This bitter elixir nourishes my veins
Pale grew thy frost along my flesh
I perish atop your sorrow's spectral crest
Scarlet lips and hands snow-white
Beheld upon the chasm of my chest
I entreat you - fall into my caress
With what of my formless soul is left
4.) The Emptiness of Eyes
Clawing through the dust of dead gods
I'll scatter my bones across the earth
Like endless shards of broken glass
Carving threnodies in the desert sod
Of your grandeur - my weakness
Stained palms and clouded sight
Maybe one day you'll come to find
The trail I hath left behind
Woven in relics of the wreckage I sire
By the frost of my dying breath
May it guide you under moonlit skies
Beyond the winds of death
To where my bloodied knees
Still lie bent for you
To where my poisoned heart
Still yearns cold for you
Upon seas of deafened ears
The emptiness of eyes
As the dark becomes - so silently shall I
Adornment of their waves
Banished in the tide
As idle shores grieve - so silently shall I
5.) Of Solitude and Stone
A gust of callous breath and promise
Before a shrine of haunting memoirs
Of all I long to hold again
Written in spells of Stygian starlight
In words that paint the distant ether
And mask my wearied heart in ice
Crystalline waves of evocation
Descend from phantom fingertips
To carry me far away from here
From familiar rays of golden suns
As poised before me the silhouette
Beckons in silent tongue
Paralyzed I lie in this enchanted shroud
Buried alive, I close my eyes
In her cold, inviting arms
As tears fall from the heavens
And flood this ruined cask
To quench the deathless thirst
Into the still of eternity, I sail
Through ornate skies unknown
These cursed wings my hearse
Wring the blood from my veins
Harvest the marrow from my bone
And rest me upon a desolate apex
Of solitude and stone
6.) The Crown
In bitter winds of our creation
The dead wood writhes in disdain
From the eyes of forgotten shrines
Rain tears onto graves that beareth no name
And I'll paint this pallid canvas in frost
On a pilgrimage of harbored guilt and pain
As the sun sets forever upon us all
Sheltering my restless gaze
A maze of recollection
And effigies of weathered stone
Of all the ruin we've come to beget
And will never here atone
This crown lay upon my head
Fading with me into the everblack
Of all we've come to reap
To dream alone in endless sleep
7.) Ghost in the Twilight
This myriad of infernos I become
The earth ablaze beneath my feet
They fill my veins with streams of venom
Saturating the night's stare with grief
I walk the isles of my prized delusion
Ascending the twilight stairs of sleep
Where angels writhe with quivering wings
Guide me through the veil of perennial dark
And the voices that I once knew
I lustrate in eidolon waves
Next to the ghost of you
The enigma of distant memory
Gleaming ethereal eyes
Pierce through me like daggers
As death ends life
8.) The Caliginous Voice
Embellish me in a hail of fire
Dress my body in eternal scar
With glowing eyes and honed claws
Burn bright and sink into my skin
Upon your throne
Diadem of waning light
Lift me into your ruins
That inhabit the starless sky
You are the caliginous voice
The ghost beyond the mist
The cry that bestills the night
The shadowed lament
"And leave me then to die
In the dark of misery's hold
Pierce me with jagged stares
As my body turns to stone
Drowning under the scorn of time
I lie bare and dormant in its flow
And with my last cold breath
I bid you my soul."
I bid you my soul
I soar with broken wings
And paint your name across the clouds
For every god to see
lol good job
It's got that Brave Murder Day early Katatonia feel. Also Rapture from Finland. Early Paradise Lost obviously. Great mix. Love hearing an American band keeping the melodic doom alive
Very damn good! Paradise Lost/ Swallow The Sun/ My Dying Bride vibes that I love but this is definitely its own thing as well.
Temple of Void and Mother Of Graves gigs need to happen.
I'd say early Paradise Lost and Anathema. No MDB though.
Edge of Sanity
The album is so well put together. I really fell in love with the somber guitar riffs.
Wow!!! Sounds more powerful than old Paradise Lost. What a sound!!!
Beautiful Album.
One of my favs of 2022🔥
ESPETACULAR!!!
Excellent album! Like a mix of early Paradise Lost, early Katatonia, early Novembers Doom, Daylight Dies etc
Exquisite. My neighbors also loved this album so much that they threw a rock through my window to better hear it more clearly...
Like very much! Thank you Mother of Graves and WBR
the new album is killer. It got me through my day being a social worker. Thanks for the kick ass tunes.
Glad we can help with that, man. Thank you for supporting! Take care! - Brandon
Very good discovery. Early Paradise Lost is the first influence that came to my ears. Cheers from Italy and doom on!
Is it just me or do I sense some Amorphis from Finland here? Especially the title cut.. cool stuff
I am quite fond of Tales. It’s a classic! Thanks for listening! Cheers. - Brandon
Great stuff! Vinyl pre-ordered.
Great Death/Doom! We love this stuff in the Netherlands... Come visit and play for us 🤘😲 🤘
And bring MERCH!!
I would absolutely love to bring MOG to the Netherlands. Who knows what the future may hold? Get this record into the hands of the right people, and that might just be a possibility. Thank you for checking it out! - Brandon
Приятнейший мелодик дум.
it's line unreleased october tide album. love it! great stuff
perfect
I got Doomed.
You've been Doomed
AOTY for me. Absolute banger. Cheers!
Track 4, or the emptiness of eyes, is my favorite track so far, so unbelievably heavy, past the break, it just baffles me the sound of this track, really indescribable what it invokes, made my hairs all stand up though. This is the type of sound I discovered in bands like ulcerate and mgla, its indescribable the power behind it, like a spell.
Idk yall none of the other tracks hit like this one, it reminds me a bit of the first time I heard Annihilation of the Wicked,
Hey, Kyle. Thanks for the words! It was our goal to entrance the listener in a maze of emotions.. so, glad we succeeded there. Appreciate your support. Take care! - Brandon
This is the best album of 2022! Thanks Mother of Graves and 666 mr doom! It Made my day. Keep on going 🤘🤘🤘
Wow! Thanks friend! What a compliment 🍻
I can double that. It's either this or Autonoesis
@@sakisbarbalexis8772 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Still loving it. Very strong album.
Sharing it also to all my metal friends here in the netherlands. Hope to see you live in Europe Some time.
пушка!
Fantastic.......
Shewwee I’m just now finding this but damn if this isn’t killer.
Holy hell this is so awesome. Best new death doom I've heard in a while. Also, the vocals remind me of early Opeth.
Reminds me of Edge of Sanity
Will you guys be releasing an instrumental version?
From Indianapolis to Finland, shitty, lazy, grunting vocals really kill it for great musicians in many bands.
Wow, that's a pretty lame thing to say.
@@Metalhorrorwarrior Really? Because the truth hurts kid. What are words for when they arent understandable? 💩👎🏽
Nop, así está perfecto.
Penumbra game ?
Music is Great , hate the vocals , but love the artwork , I'm old so don't get the vocal thing at all ( Hawkwind , Sabbath , Can and Foust )
Im old too and I like the vocals. It compliments the style.
