lyrics

The inspiration for "At the Field" came during a walk along a large field at the edge of a forest. Despite all the size and vastness of the field, I was aware that the field would pass away one day, but would rise again the next year. The song deals with this cycle of life and death.
Stylistically, the song is oriented towards Post Black Metal, for which Fen or Agalloch can be used as examples.
The song is introduced by a rather calm intro. The basic rhythm runs through the whole song and is varied in bridges and interludes. With no real chorus, the instrumental sections of the song are a highlight of the piece. Partly Progressive Rock transitions tie all the song components together. The groovy ending rounds out the song.

AT THE FIELD

Golden and bright, rooted in the ground,
it watches clouds go by.

Whispering in the wind, no storm
can bring it down.

Once it becomes grain,
it will die.

Vast and heavy, standing in the sun,
it reaches for the sky.

Calm like an ocean, no sorrow
about the fate of man.

Once it becomes grain,
it passes by.

After the harvest, fate is met,
crows have found new home.

Stalking trough remnants, crows proclaim
a new beginning

It has become grain,
the field is gone.

Menschenmühle
by Kanonenfieber

supported by 6 fans who also own “At the Field”

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.

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 6 fans who also own “At the Field”

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

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

supported by 6 fans who also own “At the Field”

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
