Liner Notes

I wanted to try some funeral doom. Kinda stalled out on the first couple tries, finally got something I'm satisfied with. The lyrics are about embalming, because naturally. The ending includes a contribution from my cat Sable

Lyrics

Flush my veins with formaldehyde
Limber up my limbs stiff from rest
One last massage though it comes too late
To feel this comprehensive cleanse

Stitch my lips so I can’t smile
Inflate my lungs and drain my stomach dry
Pickle my guts and put them back inside
Contacts to supplement my sunken eyes
then I ascend

Dress me, pose me like a doll
Paint my face a lively blush
For once I’m proper for a black tie affair

Perfume me, preserve me, for when you must exhume me, to move me
Nothing is permanent
Hide away the cause of death
Play make believe
I’m a passive object now

Love the atmosphere here - those big distorted chords ringing out to almost silence is so cool. The quiet and contemplative vocal reminds me a lot of Maynard James Keenan

Very atmospheric, love all the differents layers in here. Your voice is really lovely and add a beautiful contrast! Definitely some shoegaze vibes 😀

Nice to see some doom on here. Nice sense of atmosphere in this track. And some really great lyrics. I particularly like "Perfume me, preserve me, for when you must exhume me, to move me
Nothing is permanent". You should also add the slothcore tag, if people are doing that again this year. Cheers :)
