This is like the deepest purple....Once the wail begins at 7:23 the hair on my back rose up and shivers went down my spine...whoa. Unbelievable song. Agalloch continues to push deeper into the depth of what is our pure soul. Like when the lights go out in your home and you have to walk around on instinct. This takes you places where only our ancestors of 10,000 years ago walked.

"I've sent this peril... To the world; this peril shall spread all sorrows And you are but gods watching from below at the base of the totem in the black temple of the Earth I am...I am the silence inside the tomb You created the stars and gave birth to all the heavens; the darkness of space and time So go...go to the nightside end below"

A poem i wrote while listening to this song: the moon rose out of the lake ripples along it's path through the stars the drums played calling the spirits of mist to rise from the black lake grabbing the surface they pulled themselves from the darkness the whisps curled together into forms unknown they whispered to me the ancient rights of nidstang

[asipofthesoul]

binding unto my skin i was turned to stone and cast into the water the agony pierced my consciousness i screamed it was ragged my voice tore through the shadows as i screamed the rights and slowly mist rose from me divorced itself from my body drifted above the water and drowned in the weight of darkness as the moon feel moon fell into the water the ripple casted away the last traces of my being

During the Viking Age to put a "nid" on someone was to put very powerful verbal curse upon them. The power of words was not taken lightly by these efficient warriors, so to make a curse of this kind was very serious. It was the ultimate insult, and used only in dire circumstances......to read more go to ravenkindred on the internet. Just think if humankind of today lost electricity and had to live like our forefathers of ancient times....most of us would not make it...
