Liner Notes

For a very long time I've wanted to create a solo project which would combine post-punk, neofolk, ambient and black metal. This might be something for that project, and I feel it could kinda fit with my previous song.

In the verses you can hear my first time trying out that "clean shouting" style which is used a lot in the classic Finnish post-punk. Did it in one take and didn't rehearse it that much, so don't judge me too harshly, heh!

There's intertextuality in the lyrics, as "Hänen vihansa päivä" (The day of his wrath) is the title of a short story by a Finnish horror novelist Marko Hautala. The lyrics are mostly stream of consciousness, but they seem to paint quite an apocalyptic vision. The translation has been done hastily, but at least I guess you can get some idea from it.

Lyrics

Sateen jälkeen
Kaikki on hiljaa
Vain uneksijan
Silmät aukeaa

Se repii unesi
Ahnaalla terällään
Järsii lihasi
Kuluneilla hampaillaan

Maailmoiden takaa
Huutaa tyhjyys
Loputonta nälkää
Hullun lailla

Nousee taivaasta
Uusi aika
Hänen vihansa päivä
Lankeaa näille poluille

After the rain
Everything is quiet
Only the eyes
Of the dreamer open

It rips your dreams
With its ravenous blade
It devours your flesh
With its worn teeth

Behind the worlds
The emptiness screams
Of its endless hunger
Like a madman

A new era
Riser from the sky
The day of his wrath
Shall fall upon these paths

This sounded interesting by the idea and when listening did not need to be disappointed. Original and works really well.

yes, that scream at 1m55s ... then the black metal rasp ... this is a really interesting blend of sounds, very original. a couple of your tracks over the past years have sounded a bit like agalloch (major plus) but i feel like you're starting to forge something more unique here - as @sapient said, keep going!!

Hypnotic, a bit like a harder Alcest. The cleans remind me of Jouni Mömmö and fit in very nicely, seconding @povosos that you should use them more often. If you're going forward with the project, I'm eager to hear what you come up with.

OK, have you got any Finnish post-punk recommendations for me? Cos if this is what it sounds like, then I need to get my hands on some. The only references for those sections that my ears pull in are early Sisters of Mercy and some of Solstafír's heavier stuff. It combines so well with the BM sections.
I reckon you are onto something here... keep going! 🤩

Really great epic sound ! The bass tone is terrific! All the différents parts combine so well in your track!

@whispermouse
Really nice contrasts here: the instrumental melodies against the scream vocals, and the bass + clean vocal verses against the choruses, etc. Great stuff!

I never heard a combination of black metal and post punk but I guess you nailed it. The scream around 2 minutes is insane!!!

@povosos
Well, it appears that you are a great melody writer as well! I mean, that main melody is absolutely stunning. And the scream works as expected, and you should definately use your cleans more often ;)

I love the lyric, it feels super dark and sinister. This isn't my style of music but I can appreciate some excellent scream/shouting when I hear it, sounds spot on. Great guitar work and composition overall!
