lyrics

Awaken once again an old light shines
Far beyond where ancient eyes can see
The last rays of an amber dawn, glints the forest paths
And flickers through the leaves

On the boughs weighed down with sorrows
Adorning like the saddest autumn scene
Where the willows dip their branches forlornly
The stillness
The stillness of it all

As the sun gives way to night spectral mists surround
The dying branches twisting claws against the moon
Will the ragged clouds start pouring down
Can the rain wash away the memories
Of the paths once walked in golden times of old
When the daybreak lit the canopies
Where the emerald shone beneath the sapphire
Now a tombstone grey on a lost horizon

A doleful wind sweeps
A dank mist creeping
Do distant lights dance beyond the mire
I'll leave this life this darkened night
I can feel the beckoning
I'll look my last upon this sight
My end with come with the evenfall

And as I sigh, was it you across the lake that night?
As the sun went down over silent meadow skies
I feel a coldness in the air
And wear the sadness like a shroud
Under the silent meadow skies
You were here
Grieved with me
When the final sun descended
So peaceful is the scene
So peaceful is my mind
As the sun went down over silent meadow skies

How strange it seems
How cruel the bleak, veiled destiny
That lead us on through hopeless trails
That we've followed to the end
A lonely end

Under the silent meadow skies

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 26 fans who also own “Under the Silent Meadow Skies”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Inevitable
by NONE

supported by 21 fans who also own “Under the Silent Meadow Skies”

《 So many questions 》 — "Rest", Inevitable. NONE. La mort est une épée de Damoclès : elle va tomber et on en a conscience ; on ignore quand et on la redoute. Tel est le thème d'Inevitable. Pour pousser ce concept jusqu'au bout, NONE fait en sorte que ce quatrième album soit à double tranchants. Sur le plan quantitatif, DSBM et dark ambiant sont sur un pied d'égalité : si le premier est toujours aussi dévastateur, le second n'est pas là pour apporter du réconfort. L'incertitude, l'angoisse... Jordan Vauvert

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
