Teach me to live that I dread the grave as little as my bed

by Locusts and Honey

supported by

Chris Woodford blackened doom with elements of industrial/dark ambient. Sounds like a twisted spawn of Corrupted, Bell Witch, and Cathedral. Sorrowful and menacing!

Ippocalyptica The endorsements below are fully on point, and while I do not really like the vast majority of doom (and funeral doom less so), few metal sub-genres are as impactful when written and performed very well. Locusts and Honey are onto something here - something enormous and possibly amazing. The available six minutes are simply wonderful.

bcb723 If the pre-release track seems like a smaller piece of a much larger whole, I can personally guarantee that you are 100% correct. Wait until you hear the full 28-minute suite. I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy and just finished listening to the entire work -- it's completely mind-blowing. Heavy vibe of recent Bell Witch & Esoteric but w/ a blackened metal soul done in an almost prog-like presentation. Welcome to the black doom "Close To The Edge." Thanks, Chris for the email 🤘👊

First 2024 Hypaethral release! The preview track is stunning. Thanks for the code, Chris :)

Hell above. Hell below. The hell we wrought. The hell we sow. Traitor to love, Treacherous to know, You've nothing to say, Nothing to show. Will unclipped. Will enthralled. Will imposed. Unbridled. A life unlived. A life forestalled. The longer the rope, The sharper the halt. I see them rising, They move like stones, I see the writing, Etched in their bones. I hear them cant And imprecate. Their love of violence! They're wed to hate.
6.	Damnation Memoriae

about

“Teach me to live that I dread the grave as little as my bed” is a meditation on death and living well, inspired by the bog bodies of Ireland and Denmark – people of the Iron Age who were sacrificially hanged and found extremely well-preserved in peat. Crafted with meticulous care, this opus of dejection comprises a single, sprawling 28-minute odyssey, split into 6 movements.

Rooted in the fertile soil of early '90s doom (Corrupted, Winter, Esoteric), infused with the raw essence of black metal (Strid, Darkthrone), and bathed in the ethereal embrace of cinematic soundscapes (William Basinski, Henryk Górecki, Coil), Locusts and Honey conjure a sonic maelstrom that traverses the realms of darkness and despair. Vocalist Stephen Murray's anguished growls, which invoke memories of Lee Dorian, are intertwined with the melancholic melodies of multi-instrumentalist Tomás Robertson to cast a spell of sorrow and fury upon all who dare to listen.
