Skagos- ...Of This Empty Land

[StonebornRavens]

Just so everyone is aware, this is not in any way the released version that appears on Litha. It is lacking drums and vocals. The band is unsure as to how anyone even acquired this W.I.P version of the track.

[viletree]

These guys are actual black metal unless WITTR though. Just more of an ambient style of black metal, great stuff though

[LocktOn]

Saw this song live by WITTR...Words cannot express....

6:53 so good

[TheDigitalreign]

Fuck your world...fuck everything...I'm done.

Isaac and Ray are just marvellous. I hope isaac does well at university.

I'm pretty sure this is a cover of a wolves song, that's why. It's just not titled as such.

[AbyssPL]

"...Of This Empty Land" is an interpretation of the song "Vastness and Sorrow"

by Wolves in the Throne Room.

[Ansuz92]

I remembering hearing about this track, first time hearing it, way softer, but I think I might even like it more so far?

[DiademOf12Stars]

The title is a pun of sorts. The fist lyrics of Vastness and Sorrow go:

"[Behold the] Vastness and Sorrow of this empty land" Thus the, "...Of This" beginning the song title.

I've heard, though, that the title is also kind of a statement about the most mainstream product of the Cascadian Black Metal underground... take that how you will.

[Ansuz92]

I don't think it's a statement on the scene at all.

[aarrrggghhhhh]

@DiademOf12Stars this guy has it correct

[ZomaBelle]

@Ansuz92

Yes you are right.

[FamilyGuyIsTheBomb12]

The beginning sounds almost exactly like this one Wolves In The Throne Room song... It's still an amazing song

[irpwnage1337]

[Repo342TrueBlood1]
