A TRAVELLER FROM AN UNKNOWN PAST
ARRIVES IN A CALM BREATH OF WIND
UNDER THE WARMTH OF THE SUN
TO A NARROW RIVER
IN A DISTANCE A WHITE STRUCTURE OPENS UP
AS THE TRAVELLER MOVES TO A WIDER STREAM
AND THE RIVER STARTS TO FOAM IN A DISTANCE
FOAMING RAPIDS ARE INCREASING
AS THE TRAVELLER TRIES TO FIND HIS WAY
THROUGH ROCK AND STONE
UNDER A BLACKENED SKY
THE RIVER FLOWS INTO A BREATHLESS SEA
WATERS HAVE CALMED DOWN

TO THE KINGDOM OF THE DEAD
WHERE THE DEAD ROAM AS SHADOWS
IN DEEP DARK WATERS
AND THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN
A JOURNEY ACROSS THE WILDERNESS
AND THE DISMAL CALM RIVER
TO THE NORTH A JOURNEY
GUIDED BY A MAID TO A QUIESCENT REGION
TO ALL THE FATE MUST BE THE SAME
TO RETURN AMONG THE LIVING

BLEAK AND DARK ARE WATERS OF NORTH
WATERS WITH A GREAT WHIRL
A PASSAGE WAY TO THE UNDERWORLD
AND A JUDGEMENT TO ALL EVIL
SEA SERPENTS AND FALLEN VESSELS
RUTHLESS ARE WATERS OF NORTH
FILLED WITH FIRE AND ICE
BURNING THE UNWORTHY

I FEEL THE WATER
RISING UP MY NECK
THE SOIL DRAGGING ME
DEEPER INTO THE GROUND
I FEEL THE WATER RISING
WEIGHT OF DIRT COMPRESSING
I FEEL THE CONSTANT PRESSURE
WATERS AND DIRT SURROUND ME
THE WEIGHT OF DIRT
COMPRESSING MY LUNGS
NEVER LOSING ITS GRASP
CONSTANTLY COMPRESSING

Shades of Deep Water recommends:
In Depths of Winter (2024 reissue)
by In Depths of Winter
In Depths of Winter was brought to life by J.H. to bring forth the ways of the people of north. Life through snow and ice where the best (and worst) of times are linked to frost.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Buzzing swarms of cheerless, blackened, fuzzed-out atmospheric ambience. Funeral doom if it was reinterpreted by Stars of the Lid. This is a morose masterpiece swarming with thick blankets of melancholy beauty and majestic seance-like guitar squalls. I also like the other reviews that made art gallery associations, which, by dint of suggestion, resonated with my own listening experience. Highly recommended!
