Metal Monday XLVII - Ghost of the Winter Wind

1/16/2017

Weary from my worldy travels, I yearn for slumber, yet owe the followers of the wailing mountains an offering. I choose Ghost of the Winter Wind by Hermodr, split with Moloch. This is the first of many showcases feature this artist, an atmospheric and haunting genius, with instruments that pull sorrow and sound as the voice echoes from the well of swallowed souls. No words can be unearthed for lyrics...so we listen...we bask in the dark reverence uttered on the cold winds.

THE MAD BARRON

Join me as I reach into the darkness and pull from it the madness within...

QUOTES I ADMIRE
“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
