how not to love you if you set me free
you secrete dopamine and oxytocin
places of which only I can find
between soft kisses and inherent letters
from sad trails to endless poetry
where I can only tell you what I feel
where I find you again and again when I wake up
you're there (it's you) who keeps me going
for whom could I leave everything without looking back
Russian Atmospheric Black Metal / Dark Ambient. This is the latest Elderwind & my first sadly because I am always later than late... But this also means I get to go through the entire discography... :) Such fantastic contrasts of desperation interspersed with sweet music passages. Highly addictive & highly recommended!!! bmurator
I'm not sure why Nordicwinter aren't substantially bigger than they seem to be - they're definitely one of the top currently-active DSBM projects, to my mind at least. Jarak
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
I think I discovered this one (well, Saor in general) in 2022. In addition to an embalming soundtrack go-to, it's definitely a cold-weather favorite. skyturtles
