The Black Sun

by Twisted Phobia

supported by

godsoe Disparate elements, which one assumes should never work together sonically, emerge into being some of the most powerful and primordial pre-emotions imaginable. Favorite track: They Sow the Wind and We Reap the Storm.

HANDALIEN The album is perfect for me, in addition to its appearance of a post-apocalyptic world it still has a distressing, dark melancholic character!

It is definitely the perfect soundtrack for me on the dark nights of a blackout, after heavy rain and fearsome thunder that shakes the skies. I love it here!

about

A few years after the catastrophic incident.

I am in the place which is the border of the civilization. The point where the chemical wilderness appears.
The passage - although I do not know where to. Dirty, deserted suburbs dissolve in grey, heavy horizontal mass.
Streets of an unknown city, graphite cuboids covered with a canvas of dead buildings,
broken lanterns, mumbling shapes of houses, and noises of driving cars somewhere far away.

In front of me were three residential blocks like some asbestos artillery, touching the sky like ice-grey dirty claws.
I knew I was going where I shouldn't go. One of the blocks had black, thick lines. Someone tried to set it on fire.
As I was walking towards the building, I felt the stench getting straight into the nose even if you don't breathe. That stench was so intense it became the taste. Acid rain was gluing to the throat.
The majority of the windows are damaged. There are some words in an unknown language painted on the wall with black paint. Cement grey plasters were falling off. Near the bench are shattered layers of glass, burned-out cigarettes, and used condoms.
Waste after life, leftovers.

The endless horizon behind me with the infinite amount of burning buildings.
You would never count that. Imagine taking all the buildings from all the cities around the world,
gluing them together, hanging them in the vacuum space, and burning them so you can fry the entire universe.
Noise was growing, getting thicker, sewed from millions of different sounds.

Something was ticking in the air like the big hanging clock. I felt that weird time jumps, like someone was forwarding the time, day by day. With every second, time was getting rid of another hour.
A noise, a voice. Shapeless howl, teethless calling. The echo that follows the sound reminds the sound of nothingness.
They drew out death beyond the earth. It will cover us with a black shroud.

We all know killing others is evil, but they do it every day, shooting each other with rockets,
closing each other in camps, gassing people alive and burning bodies,
bombing for peace, building an empire on salt and sand.
They are using and humiliating us. They think of other human being like meat.
They build the monument of self-love out of our ripped hearts and souls.
No one is loving each other. They are the reason we are so bitter. People are only pain and fear, not people anymore. "We destroyed your home and family. Now you are on your own."

Everything you believed all your life - honesty, good heart, wholesomeness, care, all for nothing, stupidity. Underneath is reality and disgusting truth about humans, nothing more.
They are not afraid of god because he is not here and never was.
The hell is here. There is nothing like the eternal heaven.
Nobody will help us. They ruined everything. History repeats. Too late for penance.
The world is burning and the sun above us, the anti-light, the black sun.
