lyrics
Do you remember when there still was hope,
That amidst the shadows of uncertainty,
There was solace to be found?
Plagued were your thoughts,
Yet the spirit yearned for truth.
But your obsessive craving for it
Has consumed the fire of doubt;
The hunger that once drove you
Has left you nauseated and unfulfilled,
And the remnants of your doubts, —
Every pointless and futile strife,
Every disaffected sentiment, care or thought, —
Lay undigested within you,
Unable to sustain you further.
You miserably cling to the last certainty left to you:
The endlessly vast expanse of
Of senseless and unfeeling matter,
Perpetually devouring and vomiting itself,
It does not care for the brief flicker of your birth,
Nor the feeble passing of your days.
It will not heed you in the depths of despair,
Nor celebrate your triumphs.
Hope abandoned you, or you it, —
In the end, it is all the same, —
But shame on the wretched fool
Who goes at last to his grave
Accompanied by the miserable hopes
That have kept him alive.

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
Masterclass Atmospheric Funeral Doom with Atmosphere to the Heavens or should i say way down to the Bottom of the Depths of the Ocean? Headphones on and the dark Journey through deepest Water begins. Amazing Work, Lore and Déhà Metalhead
Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs Andrew Derksen
