То мрачен день, то ночь светла:
Здесь явь хладна, иллюзия - тепла
Среди дыхалиц цветёт цкавуч
Так сладок и тягуч, как древняя смола
Здесь темный бор иль дивный чернолес
Между дерев играет свет:
Незримых духов искристый флёр,
Неслышимый напев - существ фальцет
Среди корней ряды проросших ряс
Круги теней танцуют вальс
***
English translation:
Now day is gloomy, and now the night is bright:
The reality is cold here, but illusion is warm
In the midst of spiracles the swamp lantern blooms
So sweet and viscous, like the ancient tar
Here is a dark pine forest, or a charming mirkwood
The sunlight shimmering through the trees:
The sparkling fog of unseen spirits
The unheard tune - the falsetto of things
Among the roots - the rows of duckweed sprouts
The circles of shadows are waltzing

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
