IAN
Stolen from a web of warmth and darkness
Birthed into a sea of isolation
DEREK
A dark wind summons fear
Dawn spirits yet unstirring
Cold hunger of eastern forests
Gnaws at the bones of the psyche
Through the spiderweb forest
To treat with servants of Hell
Menaced by uncertainty
Threatened by unmoving shadows
Eightfold limbs through darkness
The way is fraught
IAN
Billows of memory
A maelstrom of agony
Ancient jaws are opening
Encircling with fear
DEREK
Remember the contract
To which all submits
Wont of gravity
IAN
A sword through smoke is given
A weeping yew-branch aflame
To speak in thunders
BOTH
Revelation in the lightning's flash
DEREK
Veiled course on the shadowed swell
Storm-tossed ferment
Flowers of the viridian sea
Exposed in momentary blindness
The illuminating flash
Of an endless expanse
Ceremony of the opening blossom
A coronated magical darkness
Pregnant with starlight
Replete with refuge
Guided to yonder shores
Feet upon the embers
Eyes upon the stars
The hidden path
A narrow road to freedom
In the mighty waters
BOTH
The winds are silent
There is no separate self

Murk Rider Baywood Los Osos, California
An animistic seeking through the shadows for the coronation of the spirit.
The hero's journey enacted through thunder-sorcery.
The philosophy of recovery through unconditional love.
Murk Rider recommends:
The perfect fusion of droning ambient black metal combined with early '90s space music synth vibes. Super atmospheric stuff from a friend of ours out in the rocky mountains.

The best of the best in black metal; Fauna is certainly the greatest of the Cascadian ilk. Their live performances are so utterly different and powerfully transformative than anything seen before.

We had the amazing pleasure of having Kat sing a passage on "Exile of Shadows". Here she sings in her natural habitat, playing the most incredibly, ethereally beautiful music alongside her mother.

Combining jazz-infused prog, ‘70s heavy metal and stoner doom, thrash metal, and grunge, the Puerto Rican legion’s debut is nothing short of a behemoth.
