Jacob's Ladder

J&S Varied yet cohesive, this is an excellent work of post/black metal intertwined with some sublime reflective passages. The production quality/mix is fantastic to boot. If you are a fan of the likes of Numenorean or Gaoth, get in on this underground brilliance immediately!

I lay my head down And dream of a connection Between this world and the next It’s so beautiful and humbling And the sounds of Heaven Bring me awake I see angels falling
2.
Edom 03:22
Everything is tinged in red All I feel is rage This feeling is killing me From the inside Now you see the damage you cause to one another You will know the true gift of war All the eyes of Heaven and Hell are upon you Choose your fate Did you think you could escape this There are worlds of pain you've yet to see This nightmare you’ve brought upon yourself Will never end
3.
Lost Soul 03:48
What is this scattered battleground I find myself laid upon It fills me with a sense of familiarity And yet it all seems foreign Is this the end I find myself in Is this the way to God I’m so frightened by what I see Angels and demons swallowing me Someone save me from this Hell I can’t find my way home
4.
Dream On 03:57
Awake again Despairing for myself I dreamt that I was dead And you weren’t there to save me This sensation of falling This pull into Hell I can hear the demons laughing These visions won’t leave my eyes I don’t believe that I’m alive This torture is too much for me I can’t tell what is reality These nightmares won’t let me go Please, someone help me
5.
Eckhart 04:23
I’ve seen demons invade my head They won’t let me live The peace that I had sought Has been ground to dust And my heart, once so full Is now empty and lost This will be my end Laid to rest here and now Unforgiven I beg a mercy Let me have my reprieve Wash away Become nothing Let go of it all The angels call my name And I will make my way there
6.
I feel a new warmth Wrap around me It brings me down to my knees Enveloped in waves of love A total caress of love My most cherished companion I bring to thee Only humble affection So that you could see All the joy that you bring Into my life You'll always be my angel Your love keeps me sane In the best of ways I will always believe in you And appreciate you forever

Heavenward 03:09

about

After the release of The Ocean via Syrup Moose Records (syrupmooserecords.bandcamp.com) I guess something of that old black metal spark was still left in me, so I decided to follow it to this. If you know me, you know why this is special and why it had to be done by my birthday. For once since Murheenvelvoite I feel proud and accomplished with a release, and I hope you all enjoy listening to this as much as I did making it.

about

Iōhannēs North Carolina

Iōhannēs was a project born out of a need to express and expel the darker parts of the mind. In doing so, the project eventually lost form and traction, and has since been retired. I am still proud of the work, but ultimately the job was done, and the time had come to move on. Thank you to everyone who still cares about this little bedroom project. Much love. ... more
