lyrics

It echoed against the mountains
Water and thunder, might and grace of the oceans
Breached, gutted, giants rising from their bottoms

Ageless memories of distant realms, only told by the old and the mad
This inevitable conclusion, all the stories when they end are a fall

Tell me, tell me again, the words of the great fall
So they can be the crucible of my own

Facing the fire of a hammer-built truth
Breaking the layers of thoughts
Parallel mirrors of endless patterns
Seamless, like untouched snow
Reflecting existences shattered
The time will come to set it all anew

I search for an opening
Trying to see a convergence in the lines

Corrupted soul isn't among the gods, or whatever you call them
Devouring jealousy is but the matter of man
Tell me a story!

Veil of corruption, over perception
Is the story constructed?
Or generated at random in the starless void
It is time to choose, what do we want to be

As I woke up, I saw the grey barren lands
There were no forests, nor houses
But empty roads and a sky filled with columns of smoke
And dead factories, their empty halls resonating from the gears and furnaces
Of a past industrious glory

If a seed ever grow again in this place
It shall be crushed with the hammer of progress
For a man will survive and start over
And its only purpose, is to drown itself in the dazzling reflection
Of a lifeless metal dawn

I laid my breath amongst the roots
Put my eyes in a chest, threw my ears at the ocean, I am old
The chants are gone, smothered by new echoes of the city
They buried me under the mountain, yet in my sleep I am laughing

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams

supported by 27 fans who also own “The Great Fall”

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Great Fall”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Great Fall”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
