New music. 🤍 Link in comments.
Our first single is out! It's called Death Poem I: Patience's Callous Virtue.
This is one of the tracks from our upcoming album, Death Poems. The album is a tetraptych of portraits told through real su***de letters of real people, in various formats.
This song describes a tragic story about a WW1 soldier (Pseudonym: Patience), who undergoes an enormous mental collapse from both horrendous leadership and through the cruel cold of winter. In a freezing forest, this soldier finds solace in the thoughts of his life after the war, thoughts that would prove themselves to be a veil of a gruesome reality. Yet another useless charge, bullets strafing close by, frost gnawing and gnashing at the bone. Lastly, a choice between an immediate death, or to wither away in the barren cold. Whimpers become fear, fear turns to panic, then to numb apathy - and it is in the apathy that the world falls under for the soldier. The soldier goes hiding, and freezes to death on the taiga floor.
