Track By Tracks: Stained Blood - Nyctosphere (2019)

The general concept of the disc is an abstract vision of death. Taking the end of everything as a permanent subject from different points of view. Like death experiences. Tragedy, regret, fear, hate in an endless black void. I try to write from a narrative point of view, visualizing characters and then going from abstract things to literal elements and feelings to get a some kind of oniric vibe. Some passages seek a more atmospheric tone, while others are literal actions, the sum of these wants to achieve an open content and to generate mental scenarios that accompany the music.

1. AVFALL:

Avfall talks about a character who faces his public execution. It talks about how he embraces his misfortune and tries to explain it as a romantic version of his death and the hatred to his captives. From his last minutes facing the gallows to his vision after death.

2. CENTURY TO SUFFER:

This song tries to show some kind of personal hell after the death of the character. Like a continuation of Avfall. Filled with confusion and fear a soul descends into its own damnation showing eternity as an everlasting torment.

3. THE LIGHTLESS WALK:

A corpse makes a thoughtful revision of an unjust and corrupt existence. He curses the human condition while raising the triumph of death above everything as the only true thing in the world.

4. SHRINES OF LOSS:

This song has a military warlike background. The tragedy of man promoting its own extermination through conflict. War as a sort of self decimation agenda for mankind. Savage war is destiny.

5. WINTERFLESH:

In this song a person ritually sacrifices himself to transcend death, beginning a Lovecraftian cosmic trip, like an ethereal walkthrough of the void.

6. DROWNED:

Drowned exposes a depressive reflexive trip of someone who has just died and its take on life’s futility and the nonsense of existence from a point of view of frustration and guilty. Cursing eternity and lots of self harming in the vibe of Century to Suffer.
