lyrics
The Elephant Man
Remember, on the day he was born
The world was shocked when they saw him
The baby’s head was so deformed
So pitiful, broken and sad
Then time went by, years of no grace
The child grew, and wise he became
Son of man with an elephant face
Prepares this world for the newest reign
Won’t you tell me what happens in this place?
Help to erase these illusions and lead me through this nightmare
I stand alone at the door and I can’t see past all this darkness
Oh, wise monster please tell me, I am waiting for your answers
“I want you to know the things I can tell,” says the Elephant Man
“I have so much to show, ‘tween Heaven and Hell, is where you’ll find me”
“The place you should go, this place where I dwell, will explain everything”
“But this space is unknown, this timeless domain,” said the Elephant Man
His words were over, yet here I stand
Nothing could I comprehend
Then over the mountain, where we still were
A blinding rift appeared from nowhere
And then I asked, “What the hell is this?”
His ugly face formed a smile, I guess
I felt peaceful and went to sleep
A newly awakened being

To me this is DSBM at it's best. calming, emotion filled riffs, vocals are a perfect blend between heart wrenching and eerie, and last but not least, the ATMOSPHERE. One of my absolute favorites for this sub genre The Laughing Stock

I don't know about others, but I personally feel melancholic rather than depressed. The atmosphere is so thick that you can cut it with a knife, and after listening to this album (twice in a row), I can safely say that it will not end with two listens Kurt Von Jazzenhoff

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
