tr_🇺🇦 Death/Doom with folk influences. Transitions from very brief folk interludes to metal are sometimes sudden. Later songs have a more involved integration. A nice set of folk instruments. Previous to last track should make fans of minimalist folk like Forndom happy. The 5. Track had a section that reminded me of a certain old school game. A bit weird. :-) Some straight up mid tempo stomping riffs. Interesting and well executed but not a perfect fit for me. Have a heart and doom up some more! Favorite track: Beigas.

Lien, pelīte, pazemē, Apraug' manu mūža māju. Vai rūsēja vai pelēja, Vai skambēja staigājot. Ne rūsēja, ne pelēja, Skambēt skamba staigājot. Jūdzat raudus, jūdzat bērus, Vedam mani smilktienā. Pāries bēri, pāries raudi, Es mūžam nepāriešu. Es mūžam nepāriešu, Jūsu durvis virināt. Dzirdu ļaudis runājami, Manis dēļi alus dara Ne es dzeršu, ne ēdīšu, Es gulēšu smiltienāji. eng. Exequy Come under the ground, little mouse Come and see where I’ll dwell when I am gone. Let it rust, let it mould Let it crackle when you come. Make horses ready to take me to the sand of cemetery ground. My last journey has come and I shall never return. I shall never return, never walk through your door. I hear folks talking and brewing ale. But I shall never eat, never drink I shall forever stay lying in sand.

Vadātājs 07:42
Kur nes mani šī nakts, Kurp ved šīs aklās gaitas, Šis nebūtības meklējums Un nodevīgais solījums? Vēl dziļāk tumsā es zūdu Un jūtu, ka neesmu viens. Kāds nemiera gars šeit mājo Un gaida pazudušos. Ko alksti Tu, neizvadītais gars? Pārāk daudz naida Tu nesi, Un viņsaule neatvērās Tev. Ieslodzīts šeit tumsā Tu malduguni dedz. Vēl dziļāk tumsā es zūdu Un jūtu, ka vairs neesmu es. Mana miesa ir viņa miesa. Nu ved tas mani, kur man pienāks gals. Pārāk daudz naida Tu nesi. Pat nāvē tas sekoja Tev. Pat nāvē nerimst Tavas alkas pēc citu mokām. Vēl dziļāk tumsā es zūdu Un jūtu, ka vairs neesmu es. Tavs naids ir mans naids. Nu ved tas mani likt ciest. eng. Vadātājs Where is this night taking me? Where do these blind steps lead? Am I on a quest for nothingness Set by a treacherous promise? I fade into darkness deeper and deeper And I feel that I am not alone. Some restless spirit dwells in here Waiting for the lost. What long you for, you unreleased spirit? Too much hate you carried with you And the gates of afterworld never opened. Imprisoned here in darkness You light the will-o’-the-wisp. I fade into darkness deeper and deeper And I feel that I am not myself anymore. My flesh is his flesh. Now it leads me where I shall live no more. Too much hate you’ve carried with you And it followed even in death. Even in death your lust for their torment could never end. I fade into darkness deeper and deeper And I feel that I am not myself anymore. Your hatred is my hatred Leading me where the joy is no more.

Veļu laiks 06:43
Kā norimusi vētra šis laiks, Kad zemi migla klāj un sargā. Mēs atstājam durvis vaļā, Lai aizgājušie pārnāktu mājās. Tiem laiks tik īss Ik gadu uz zemes šīs. Bet, kamēr būsim mēs, Viņi atgriezīsies. Aust rīts. Tie veļu valstī aiziet Un zintis nodod, Solot atgriezties. Kad viņu balsis nedzird vairs, Zini, kamēr būsim mēs, viņi atgriezīsies. Aust rīts. Ar svētību tie aiziet Un mieru atstāj, solot atgriezties. eng. Time of Souls (Veļu laiks) This season like an abated storm When mist covers and protects the soil. We leave our door open To let the souls come home again. Their time is so short Every year on this earth. But as long as we stay here They shall return. Morning approaches Returning them back to the realm of the dead. Passing their wisdom to the living ones, They promise to return. When their voices have faded, remember As long as we stay here they shall return. Morning approaches Returning them back and leaving their blessings. Their peace shall stay with us until the next time of souls.

Nakts ragana 07:21
No kurienes Tev šis daiļums savādais? No kurienes Tu nāc šai nestundā? Kāds ļauns spēks Tevi sūta. Ir lemts Tev viņa postu sēt. Tavs gars lemts mokām, Un mokas tam būs nest. Vai pie manis Tu nāc atņemt to dārgāko? Vai apstājies atgādināt par savu sūtību? Vēl tikai šoreiz es tieku neskarts. Vēl tikai šoreiz Tu paej man garām Un citam nelaimi nes. Kaut spētu Tu apstāties. Un atkal izskan nelaimes vēsts, Un atkal apkārtni pārņem skumjas un bailes. Vai drīz atkal viņa nāks? Un kurš būs nākamais? Ļaunuma radīta Tu postu nes, Un nav miera Tev, jo miers Tev ir svešs. Vai es jau dzirdu Tavus soļus? Kaut spētu Tu apstāties. Posts ir mans liktens. eng. Nightwitch Where does your strange beauty come from? And where are you coming from in this dark hour? An evil force has sent you, And destined you to spread its plague. Your spirit condemned to suffer, Condemned to bear the pain. Have you come to take all I have? Have you stopped to remind of your quest? Just one last time I’ll remain untouched. Just one last time you will walk past And bring disaster elsewhere. How I wish you could stop. And again the word of doom is spread. And again the air is filled with grief and fear. Shall she return soon? And who will be the next one? Created by wickedness you carry a plague. There’s no peace for you since you never found peace. Do I hear your steps yet? How I wish you could stop. Doom is my fate.

Saknes caur pazemi stiepjas, Mēs neesam nedz sākums, nedz gals. Tālā ceļā mēs devušies esam, Un sastaptais pavadīs mūs. Nedz sākums, nedz gals. Šī saule viņsaulē vedīs, Viņsaule par šo sauli kļūs. Pie saknēm plūst svētavots. Vai spēsi tā gudrību smelt? Tā vada caur pasaules ceļiem, Kur sastaptais pavadīs mūs. Nedz sākums, nedz gals. Šī saule viņsaulē vedīs, Viņsaule par šo sauli kļūs. Ko mēs atstāsim malā, Kad nasta par smagu kļūs? Pie saknēm atpakaļ dosimies Un atgūsim aizmirsto. Zemei grimstot jūrā, Kāp augšup, patveries. Lai pasaule šī sabrūk, Un veidojas nākamā. Nedz sākums, nedz gals. Šī saule viņsaulē vedīs, Viņsaule par šo sauli kļūs. Mūžīgs šis pasaules koks, Un mūžīga tā jēga. Atceries ceļu pie tā Un mūžīgs būsi Tu pats. Dienā, kad dievi atņems mums sauli, Un visu, kas mums bijis, aprīs jūra Mēs patversimies šeit, kur mūžīgā dzīvība virmo, Kas vienmēr bija un būs. eng. Veins of Infinity There are roots spreading under the ground. We are neither the beginning, nor the end. We have taken a long road, And what’s faced will always go on. No start and no end, From life to afterlife And back to the living. There’s a sacred spring at the roots. There’s a wisdom kept in its water. It will lead you through the ways of the world Guiding every step of yours. No start and no end, From life to afterlife And back to the living. What will be left aside When the burden gets too heavy? Back to the roots our path shall lead Back to the forgotten. When the land sinks into the sea Climb the branches and seek your shelter. Let this world go down Let the next one be born. No start and no end, From life to afterlife And back to the living. This worldtree so ageless As ageless as its meaning. As long as the way to it will be remembered We shall be remembered too. When the gods take the sun away And everything that we’ve had gets swallowed by the sea We will find our shelter here where eternal life flows. Life that will never fade.

Neizvadītie 09:31
Gals pienāca pirms nāvei mēs vērāmies acīs, Pirms spējām mēs satvert ieročus rokās. Tas īsākais ceļš, kur zeme pazūd zem kājām, Kur devāmies akli kā upuris slazdā. Tas īsākais ceļš, kur purvs sastindzis gaida, Kur pazudām tumsā un palikām mūžam. Bez cīņas, Bez asins, Bez rētām, Bez miera. Kurš spēs mūs apglabāt? Kurš spēs mūs atrast un ieraudzīt? Jau gadiem aizmirsti mēs nīkstam Bez atvadām un neizvadīti. eng. Unburied Ones The end came before we saw the eyes of Death, Before our hands could reach our weapons. On that shortest road where our feet lost the ground, We went there blinded like victims into a trap. That shortest road where a stark marsh awaits us, Where we got lost in the dark and stayed forever. No fight took place, No blood was spilled, No flesh was wounded, No peace was made. Who will come and bury us? Who will come and see us? Damned and long forgotten, Unblessed and unburied.
