about

Tapes : solmoribundo.bandcamp.com/album/sol08-ilmestys

"Despite men's suffering, despite the blood and wrath, despite the dead who can never be replaced, the unjust wounds, and the wild bullets, we must utter, not words of regret, but words of hope, of the dreadful hope of men isolated with their fate."

- Albert Camus

"You must be like me; you must suffer in rhythm.

I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.

I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.

I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more"

- Jean-Paul Sartre

released May 7, 2021

"Another triumph of immersion, the record travels through a surprisingly large dynamic range that never loses its magnetism or otherworldly aura, bathing the listener in cold pale light as it subtly transforms both itself and us in multiple ways and invites one to contemplate all the secrets of the universe... and one's own mind."

- Black Metal Daily

"Launched by a sublime overture that really does feel like ascending toward the moon, Ilmestys then explodes in an effusion of tumultuous drums, heaving bass, and waves of magisterial but bereft synths, coupled with piercing guitar vibrations and tormented screams.

That second song, “Blood and Wrath” sets the stage for some of what is to come, but not all, as the wide-ranging “Cosmic Ruin” soon reveals through its exotic, wistful, and astral melodies and restrained (but still potent) rhythms. Trying to map the course of the remaining songs and all their tonal gradients (of which there are many) would risk tedium. Suffice to say that during many moments they are spellbinding and mystical (especially the electronic instrumental “0 (Abyss)”, as well as introspective and sad, but they also reach levels of intensity that are emotionally ruinous — and usually all that happens in the same song."

- No Clean Singing

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 43 fans who also own “ILMESTYS”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

selftitled
by NONE

supported by 39 fans who also own “ILMESTYS”

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
