Smouldering Into Dust

Bertrand Marchal I had bought the single, singing the praise of it, and when the album came, the first impression was that of a let-down. I've drastically revised my judgement. This album is a tremendous debut, the band skilfully juggles with a rich palet of tools that bring about those tense contrasts that annoyed me at first. It's at the same time atmo and gothic, vast and withdrawn, smooth and rugged.

Arise the mountains of virtue The eternal rest of old giants barren by centuries Once serpents creating it all - awaiting the final damnation On rain and thunder My decadent soul begs for a new blossom After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self By taking the heat away By taking the heat away Threw the stone in my heart Unto the crystal clear water up in the almost frozen lake The journey stripped away the shell of my existence passing through the hard path So high and cold, striking the limits of our will Under a glacial sleep we’ll end the lashes of dust and time Perpetual is the patience, be calm and feel We have deprived ourselves from the magic now lost Lone wanderers in our own world The sun was covered with a finger Just before we accepted our earthly death On rain and thunder My decadent soul begs for a new blossom After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self By taking the heat away By taking the heat away

When there’s no time And all matter is now gone The silence fills forever What poetry unfolds Shedding night I come Mysterious emanation from the underworld While gazing our beginnings In the doubtful emptiness There’s nothing you can reach, oh no… The nothingness is all Swim the oceans of eternal grief Become one with the fires of redemption Inhale the sweet smell of victory Unveiling a covered deception Once ascension has been touched all is nothing and nothing is all, the ending may be the start for a new loop of an unstoppable wheel encircling the eternal imperfection of the self, when always is now, yesterday and forever. Let me catch your restless spirit and guide it into the search for liberation, while chaos becomes the art that will free your being from this grief… One day, when life is over at the end I Hope our questions will be answered… When there’s no time And all matter is now gone The silence fills forever What poetry unfolds Shedding night I come! Swim the oceans of eternal grief Become one with the fires of redemption Inhale the sweet smell of victory Unveiling a covered deception

The air has begun to run out again A stab in my heart of an invisible dagger When the mind is a nebulous And nothing can ease the feeling of passing away And then, like trapped in a cage, screams can’t be heard “The end is near” we said How painful can become accepting we failed Let me go away, let me go…away
4.
In the open fields I’m lost The grass is wet on the tears all mourners wept Melancholy transforms in regret Beneath these somber figures that stare Is that the light of dying star Leading me out To merge again with the firmament Or just a memory Like a black velvet the darkness enshrouded me While shapeless shadows took my breath away No scream can be heard In hopelessness I drown The fear overcomes my strength In solitude I feel immersed Pain surrounds me As a hunter lies in wait Is that the light of a dying star Leading me out To merge again with the firmament Or just a memory Saw no glimpse of joy Was it my fate to live in eternal misfortune? A prisoner jaded in the black tapestry Of endless decaying emotions…

A void in my dreams Struggles to fill my veins Dragging me low Under the opaque leaves That conquered the ground Of this endless autumn Shadow after shadow I can’t find a clearing inside the woods Hear the sound of the river Be our witness in eternity Lost in a maze With nothing but only a broken compass Even the stars can’t guide me In a sky full of clouds Rios sin fin Fluyen como mi sangre Buscando huir Al eterno comienzo Transfórmate en tormenta Retorna a lo alto Para moldear el dolor El gris atardecer trajo a aquel solitario Queltehue El cual cantó para mí, cubriéndome bajo su eterna lluvia Men can’t live with the hearing Of this grey echo in my chant Just embrace our own end let cold winter be our grave when we die Rios sin fin Fluyen como mi sangre Buscando huir Al eterno comienzo Transfórmate en tormenta Retorna a lo alto Para moldear el dolor

I saw your shadow hide Where the earth fights the firmament And the wind goes high A place where the igneous underworld Sets free to shape our destiny Or just to letting us know We’re not unbreakable How lost can men be Defying the elements Even knowing it’s true religion is self-destruction

about

Out in Fall 2022 via Ardua Music.

Mournument started activities in 2021 after Niklas (Deveneror, ÆRA, Forestfather, Flesh Configuration) and A.P. (Sol Sistere, Concatenatus, The Ancient Doom) met and discussed the creation of a new artistic vessel, considering some musical styles that has not been well explored in their home country Chile, taking aspects of the deepest and most emotional tunes of traditional Chilean folklore, combined with a melancholic Doom Metal approach. After a few months of hard work, a full length album was created, and the experienced drummer C. Krono (Favna Abisal, The Ancient Doom) was recruited to complete the band’s line up.
