Like streams we dissolve from quiet hills.
Carving the hardened soil into a valley of groves
Pillars of Earth reaching for the heavens.
Bellowing cries pierce the lost kingdom,
Our throats torn and raw
As we scream with vengeful tongues
Their words were silent
Now revealed we sing retribution for our most elder kin.
How could we cover their tracks in such vain?
These seeds sowed deep
Great sequoia sprung
Rich, bearing majesty
This labyrinth is left behind in this dead world.
Par rapport au monstrueux A Dawn to Fear, The Raging River est un album qui paraît presque raisonnable. Sauf qu’il est dans la continuité de Cult of Luna, c’est-à-dire pas raisonnable du tout. Comme bande-son de fin du monde, il se pose un peu là: à l’instar de son titre, il va balloter l’auditeur entre cailloux, troncs arrachés et débris divers.

It plunges me into an abyss of sound that's both harrowingly dark and profound, a sonic deepness that swallows light and breathes out an engulfing, cathartic darkness. lecassette8
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
