[LYRICS] Alas, one day, the day, my fears pushed me away from their trail, their voice, their gaze... their words so quickly they fade. Their words, so quickly they faded among the storms and winds. It's the prize of becoming a ghost before nothingness itself. Now no strings chain me. Let me fall. Descent. The sweet descent. I breath in the pain. Let myself rot from within until I am no more than dust. No more than dust. No reflection. No voice to cry out my name. Invisible to the very eye; my touch, my breath. Dancing leaves fall through my body as I fall to my knees. Now no strings chain me. Let myself rot from within. Rot from within until I am no more than dust. The seasons passed. Forgot my own name, as the world did. Forgot my own face, for there was no one to see its shape.

[LYRICS] A hand, waving from afar, black as winter's bark, calling me home. Calling me home. I wake. Old feet stumble through the corridors, my hands cling to their faces of ink, of beauty. They reach so far away. Dust covers their trail, so long past. As the glum scent of fallen leaves caresses mine. Dust covers their trail, so long past. When will this morningrise become my last?

Poem 17:47
[LYRICS] One will always find infancy's glow on the eyes of the dead. One will always find the mark of hope in its motionless sway. How they watch me, those glassy pupils, of weeping, of ire, of hopelessness. Maybe that's why it's so painful, maybe that's why it's impossible to watch the sun without losing one's sight for ever. One will always find pain in the sky, sea that reflects our twilight. One will always find cries and weeping across its blind walk through the dark. One will always find tears on the flowers that wake at dusk. One will always find their shadow... My shadow... runs from me, as the sun rises in the sky, as its rays burn my skin. Why can't I look away? What does the grass whisper as it embraces my body? What does the moss whisper as it covers my skin? Overshadowing all vision. I'm reaching it! Today the sun shines a bit less. Today no bird has come out to sing. An eternal autumn, broken by the distant hawl. It's coming. Maybe that's why it's so painful. It's engraved on the bark of the trees in the shape of the roots that sprout from the earth. This forest is burning, its branches risen into the skies, looking for mercy. It's burning. The forest weeps. The forest cries. The forest drowns in sorrow for it somehow still believes in hope. The sun has scorched its leaves, now ash dancing in the wind, a prophecy written on the earth, written on the rocks, in the rivers and the greens. How did it not comprehend until now? There was no forest, just embers waiting to die. The ashes at last rise to the skies. Maybe that's why it's so painful. The mark of hope, infancy's glow shining as sparks of fire in the dark. Useless, meaningless. One by one they fade, and the sun joins the last on its black descent.

about

The Split EP "The Woods of Wither" served as a great way to achieve a sound, in terms of composition and production, in which I'm very comfortable, yet still open to experimentation and trying out new things. In "Of A Distant Hue" I wanted to try a more classical approach to atmospheric black metal, but at the same time keeping things fresh. Ambient and avant-garde take a bit of a backseat to give way to dozens of melancholic riffs and melodies, mixed with a few surprises on the way.
On a side note, I explore abandoned places on my spare time. It has changed my life on so many ways as I consider it such a beautiful origin of emotions and experiencies that one can't find any other way. Many of the themes explored in this album are based on such experiencies.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating this album and I hope you enjoy it too!

Hoarfrost Sky Madrid, Spain

Underneath the snow, life and death decay, drifting within the cold flames of oblivion. The only that remains is a hoarfrost sky, untarnished by time.
