lyrics

Again I start with nothing
The balance is set back to zero
For all that I had, for all that I worked
It all just returns to dirt

I reached I dreamed to better myself
In an ivory tower I thought
But after my time, eyes open wide
A life of adventure I sought

Again I start with nothing
The balance is set back to zero
For all that I had, for all that I worked
It all just returns to dirt

I came I saw I struggled I reached
A new home I built in this place
But in the end I ran out of time
And left head bowed in disgrace

Now I fear nothing changes
An endless cycle- emerge, decay, emerge

Again I start with nothing
The balance is set back to zero
For all that I had, for all that I worked
It all just returns to dirt

So I built up a throne, I built it of stone
But with the passage of time I learned something
The world that I chose, the place I know most
It left me feeling empty

Now I fear nothing changes
An endless cycle- emerge, decay, emerge

Again I start with nothing
The balance is set back to zero
For all that I had, for all that I worked
It all just returns to dirt

But these are the risks of dreamers
These are the risks that we take
To tear down a world of safety to find
The world we see in our minds

These are the risks of dreamers
These are the risks of the bold
So never let your fear of that pain
Hold you back from the world you could hold

about

Woods Witch San Diego, California

Frigid riffs embedded into the barren hellscapes of Southern California. Take the crushing weight of the pacific ocean and the oppressive despair of an unrelenting sun, invigorate it with freezing veins of a northern winter, and fuel it with the manic energy of blistering asphalt, and you have Woods Witch. If you’re not weeping, screaming, punching, or running in a circle, then we don’t play it. ... more

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Risk of Dreaming”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Risk of Dreaming”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard... kowaikage2
