When Bitter Spring Sleeps - Flames that Taste the Rain

from Panopticon / When Bitter Spring Sleeps by Panopticon / When Bitter Spring Sleeps

/
  • Panopticon / When Bitter Spring Sleeps - Split CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Panopticon's "On the Subject of Mortality - part one" are the most honest and revealing Panopticon recordings thus far. These songs are organic, stripped down, and uncompromising. A sorrowful - yet somehow hopeful - exploration of the theme of Death and the purpose of existence. Fueled by ferocious, driving drumming and percussion, raging and furious vocals, and the technical guitar shredding of A. Lundr. But this time expect a melancholy pervading that separates these works from Panopticon's usual message of "stand and fight for it". This time there is the feeling of questions unanswered and frustration at our very short time here on Earth. "When Bitter Spring Sleeps" offers their unique Black Metal nature worship as well. One vicious live ritual recorded in a nature preserve: A spell to conjure storms. The other tracks feature WBSS' first studio recordings blended with ambience captured at the same nature preserve but brimming with depth and thick instrumentation. One homage to the mystical powers of Fire and Water. And the final track closes the album concept with a tribute to the wonder and majesty of Almighty Death (a cover song written by etherial folk artist Arrowwood).

lyrics

Two powers intertwine
On this cold grey afternoon
Smell of wet leaves on the breeze
Between the bitter smoke of oakenwood

Ambrosial breath of fire
Singing its mysteries
An alchemical transformation
Shifting one form to the other

Flames that taste the rain shimmer then flicker in the wind
Rising eyes if fire that blink as they waver and die
Countless tendrils blazing silver streaming groundward
A doorway to awakenings
