As the gloom falls down from heavens,
You never know how specious it is,
How silent it was when you streamed your voice into the lethargical slumber.
It exposes the heart of existence into the height.
It bleeds with the black pitch of notion,
The notion achieved through much suffering
From being alone in the mud.
Blending the mind with groundless dogmas,
Keep on thinking that you are moving ahead…
И когда мрак ниспадает с небес,
Тебе никогда не узнать правдоподобность его,
Сколь безмолвен он был, когда ты обратил свой глас внутрь безмолвного сна.
Ось бытия Он направляет ввысь!
Черной смолью знаний Он кровоточѝт.
Знаний, полученных сквозь муки неистовые
Одиночества в грязи...
Затмевая разум беспочвенными догмами
Продолжай думать, что ты двигаешься вперёд...
Into the continuous fractal of real matter
It’s our everlasting root
Of tree we follow while we live.
And it gives the character,
And it throws the food to all of its parasites.
And it devours the being,
And it devours the space.
The slipping through the no-ward spiral…
The closure of ourselves
The opening of the eye…
And we mimic the universe,
And the universe is mimicking us.
And we form the fractal arrangement
Of the multi-layered assembly
We call time,
That we are dissolving in.

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian

This band's been one of my favorite acts in modern death metal for a while now, and their debut album got me sold on these guys really quick. honeycombguy
one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you. Sælzer Bub
A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2022
Oakland, CA quartet LYCUS return with a new album on Relapse Records. Heavy, epic, mournful, and replete with art by Paolo Girardi. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2016
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
