Lyrics : Black, blank hour Photographs of what once was Images du peu qu’il reste à faire A glimpse of a bitter future Oh so weak, I cannot find you Eyes are dead, blind to all At 4 am, the soft rain fades I welcome sleep Undenied, rolling through my head And so where does my hate belong? Red or green, traffic lights project no shade Walk I can’t, stop I did So long ago Road worn off My task: carry on Peu à peu. Pas à pas. Mortal, abnormal, ‘Til I accept the facts Le chemin s’efface Undenied, rolling through my head And so where does my hate belong? Mortal, so normal Shoelaces untied A glimpse of a greyer hour

Ask The Dust 04:05
Lyrics : The deafening sound of dust Crashing in thick layers In the room Fills this loud void Softens this cold voice That screams ‘get out, live, die’ With feet nailed to the floor And my mind way below In the cellar, in the ground I lie in wait For a chance I never wanted I want a chance that never comes The dull thud of rain drops Bangs on the blinds A proof that all is not dead yet Outside these walls I never leave It hushes this soft whisper Imploring me to die or live A day like any other A normal life

Lyrics : Humans – Crowns of delusion The mirror: broken Born forgotten You turn, turn, turn… Skeletons on a merry-go-round Animals under falling swords Words: portholes of a sinking ship Crawling in silent ashes You burn, burn, burn... Your hell’s inside your head Puppets with self control Frustration: raging Someday, always too soon You will learn, learn, learn... There’s nothing out there, out of your bone boxes

Lyrics : Yellow, black Golden eyes in der Nacht Barely hides the guilt Ignites our deepest instinct A dog that chews in shame to spit out lust Reject what I am, shed my former lies Street lights, dim and weak, reflect the truth Idly, unceasingly Finsternis entdeckt den Hund Lay the lamb in the gutter Let its blood be washed in yellow flow Starker as its veins empty Stark as nothing remains to mirror our depravation His mask can’t hide its shame When the dog in me opens its yellow eyes The dog opens my eyes Der Hund öffnet meine Augen… Sodium – the light that hardly burns Sulfur – the great beast stirs in me When the worst of us is brought to fucking life Die Beute schlummert nie

Verwüstung 03:53
Lyrics : I am Eternity I wander the endless tunnel of thoughts of afterlife I stand serene I rule a world that never will be and never was Shapeless world of thoughts and dreams Dominating the existence like a prolonging of myself See that land far away where I grow and rule with infernal fire.... Somewhere somehow eternally Verwüstung - desolation

S.W. MMVII 07:21
Lyrics : Tidal wave, so distant My dreams of an English shore I feel at home at last Said I won’t come back but I always do Thames has spent her last brown drops Some puddles now remain Not deep enough to drown Shallow enough to dye Standing stones are ground to sand The grains too small to stop the machinery of time But my eyes, they turn to rain, hail and hills Painted faces on the wall And death rows its boat These urban figures on the wall, they draw me home again Marching these crowded empty streets Will not bring any peace to me Said I won’t come back This time, I’ll stick to my word Shells melt in Wales Left a barren shore I crave to tread as before Said I won’t come back You know the rest

White Birds 02:31
Lyrics : O Lord of Lords, so fierce of form Please tell me who you are Be gracious to me O Lord of Lords I don’t know what your mission is And I desire to hear of it O primal Lord, refuge of all Your blazing deathlike face In all directions, I am bewildered O primal Lord I see them dash into your mouth Like moths into fire Oh Lord I am terrible time Destroyer of all beings In all worlds, in this world Bright as a thousand suns

about

A new wave of Black Metal from Switzerland. Mixing classic Black Metal with electronic.

Created to fit the LP format, ‘Sulfur/Sodium, drags its listener in two distinctive landscapes, with each side of this album, both branded with the now famous ‘Swiss savoir-faire’.

Hypnotic riffing and inventive sampling are the trademark of urban construct ‘Sodium, while ‘Sulfur, plunges in an industrial yet melodic black metallic furnace.

Thought as a consortium of sound-crafters rather than a plain band, 3 DAYS OF SILENCE lies upon its three-core nucleus – Faex, AsCl3 and Tom. But also sees cameos by many talented artists, namely Aort (Code, Blutvial), John (Blutmond), Pat Bonvin (Near Death Condition), or Vince (Xicon). aCid (Wulff Kloff, Dark Isle) also crafted an ice-cold trip-hop remix, as an internet only bonus track.

Producer Drop (Sybreed, This Misery Garden) and visual artist Slo (Smohalla, Way To End) completes this outré city council.

Bitter impressions of damp British streets, soaked in ale and whisky. Fear of a blank future. Acceptance of our own frailty. 3 DAYS OF SILENCE is not going to take you some place safe.
