Of Loss And Grief
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
The band's new work, "Of Loss and Grief", is a journey into depression. In a similar way to Aphonic Threnody's previous releases, the lyrics take the listener through stages of emotional distress. In this occasion as well, Roberto has based the concept on moments of his own life and personal experiences, channelling these events in words through his extreme vocal style written as short stories, merged with decaying and emotional music. The narrated themes are a description of mental breakdowns, moments of depression, dreams of suicide and human decay.

lyrics

Lies

Visions of a living darkness,
monsters coming to rape your soul.
Shadows moving from wall to wall.
Suffocating prisoner of a deep slumber.
Colours slowly fading
leaving room for obscure shades
of vermillion patterns like blood, like gore,
like tortured corpses hanging from black ropes.
(like tortured corpses hanging from black ropes)
Sanctuary of terror,
horrors away confined.
Like secrets locked in forgotten closets.
Dead's whom life has been denied.

On wings of crows and ravens,
traveling towards nothingness.
Hostage of the flowing of time,
I cannot distinguish one day or another.
-
It's flowing and I can hear it around me,
while slowly erases particles of what my eyes feel as reality.

I thought I had everything a man can wish to have.
but my hands were empty and my heart was cold.
I thought my eyes could challenge the sun.
My blindness is the result of my braveness.
I thought I could stand over the top of the highest mountain
but the fall showed just how fragile my bones were.
I thought I could survive death and live forever
but my carcass is the answer to that dream of eternity.
And now nothing is left, I don't have anyone to help me forget.
How stupidity has been made man,
how uselessness has been made flesh.
And voices out there,
like moaning of infants separated from the womb
and still, I feel my eyes turning blind
in an endless mirroring of pain
convulsions make me feel alive,
but there's no life because you know it's just a lie.

Immortality of the human thoughts,
just a stain of ink on white inanimate sheets.
Just a sequence of sounds
like tales from father to son.
creation / of emotions / to justify / a stillborn life.

And we keep telling stories,
to people around us and to ourselves.
Trying to escape those shades on the walls,
that suffocating slumber which keeps us prisoners.
Trying to colour the world out there
to make it look less miserable, of how it really is.
We keep lying, not to think we are dying.

about

Aphonic Threnody England, UK

"Fueled by a supremely bitter and very primal growl, this is the kind of doom band who capture the heart and then drag it to hell. Incredibly emotional in their raw heaviness, this is what doom should be about."

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom. fluo

It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering". xleggend

one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you. Sælzer Bub
