The Great Loss

No return
Never
If there is hope
It lies in death
We fear not the end
But the means
And beauty withers
But what fools
Who think her slain
For she knows no end
Stark sceneries
Monotonous landscapes
Lifeless panoramas
Bleak horizons
No release
Suffer
How can there be hope?
Even in death?
We fear not the end
Nor the means
Still beauty withers
And we were fools
There is nothing left to gain
Nothing left to mend

Shatter the sky
Bury the light
Dismember the will
Establish the structure
Painting the end

Vain
03:31
|
|

|
As we fill in the blanks
We are left to ponder
The purpose and triviality
We try to find our dance
To accomplish ourselves
When did we become so vain?
Self-condemnation
Cursed with the burden of reason
To bathe in ignorance or drown in guilt
Consign to oblivion
Covet to forget what countless had never known
To chase the absurd or embrace the nihil

Wilds Forlorn

Forlorn, the wilds
And severed the bonds
A culture of fear
Where chaos is shunned
Forsaken the roots
And buried the past
A world of order
Where beauty is obsolete
The sky weeps, grieving
At the loss
The tears touching the concrete
Blood pours unending
From every vein
To feed the structure of desolace
The grace is fading
From this world
Dried up, wilted and buried

Wilds Forlorn Utrecht, Netherlands
Wilds Forlorn is an utterence of loss, grief, frustration, anger, and world-weariness. Founded in 2008, originally, the music consisted entirely of piano works, but the project eventually took a different turn.
Wilds Forlorn recommends:
Funeral doom metal, by yours truly.

Brosnung ond Anforlætan
by Ascese
Another project of mine, channeling old English poems and tales of destitution and world-renunciation. Raw, noisey and depressed.

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you!

For those of use whose attention span isn't what it was for ambient and who need something more narrative than noise, there is the sub-genre of atmospheric black metal that I'm inclined to call "monolithic". Paysage d'Hiver might be the archetypal example. But if you just want to be consumed by a relentless wall of beautiful air pressure, this is ideal.
