lyrics
More than 14 minutes long, "As the Birds Have Stopped to Sing" deals with the death of a close person. It deals with the moments right after the person has passed away, when it seems as if the world has stopped for a short moment.
The very melancholic song is musically the most progressive piece on the album and, like "At the Field'', has a closeness to Post Black Metal. "As the Birds Have Stopped to Sing", however, is more strongly influenced by Atmospheric Black Metal and may at some parts remind you of genre greats like Wolves in the Throne Room. Through the progressive interludes and instrumentals, the song maintains its own flavor. The finale of the song resembles a review of the entire album.
AS THE BIRDS HAVE STOPPED TO SING
The light is frozen,
not a single sound.
The air stands still,
and so does the ground.
The eyes are closed,
as they would have never seen.
The mouth is locked,
no word will ever leave again.
It is hard to believe,
that your world is gone
and ceased to be.
So much has been,
so much will never come back.
All that remains,
are thoughts about what we've had.
It is hard to believe,
that your world is gone
and ceased to be.
The light is frozen,
not a single sound.
The air stands still,
and so does the ground.
The eyes are closed,
as they would have never seen.
The mouth is locked,
no word will ever leave again.
All that's left are memories...
...memories are all that's left.
Gestrüpp is a Black Metal solo project of A.A.S. from Darmstadt, Germany, who has already released five international
acclaimed records with his Funeral Doom project The Cold View

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

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

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
