about

The Hours deals with the difficulty of getting through the day when you’re suffering from depression and feel utterly defeated. Paralyzed by the painful awareness of not being able to function, you withdraw from the outside world in resentful lethargy, and all you can do is watch the hours go by as the guilt creeps in.

lyrics

The hours go by in a slow dirge,
They grind and grate at the soul,
Moulding it to their likeness:
A stale abstraction without content.
They pass; their course is not yours.

In doubtful resolve,
You start over again every day,
In spite of all you know,
Against all you know,
To face again the daunting task
To endure yourself.

The days drag on in restless unease,
The void of a heart long departed
Set against the vacant crawl of time:
Two chasms echoing each other’s absence.
Nothing attained, nothing atoned.

With failing courage,
You tried to bury the past,
But the rains will always
Wash away the dirt.
And so you carry on
To endure the hours.

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

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
