Občas je dobré zastavit svoje kroky. Opustit civilizaci, vyčistit si hlavu někde v přírodě. Vylézt na vysokou horu a ze shora pochopit, že spousta našich problémů je malicherných proti věčnosti. Byla zima, plná bláta a deště, jak už tomu v poslední době bývá a já nevěděl kam jít. Vysoko v horách, kolem svištěl vítr. Musel jsem se schovat a přečkat pod skalním převisem několik hodin. Co budu dělat? Hledal jsem v přehrávači nějakou novou hudbu. Narazil jsem na promo materiály od kapely/projektu INFIRMUM.
Pod muzikou je podepsán Timo Solonen, maniak, který je ve Finsku aktivní na metalové scéně od devadesátých let. Novou desku "Walls of Sorrow Infirmum" lze zařadit někam na pomezí deathu a doom metalu. Kolem se ženili všichni čerti a já poslouchal stále dál. Album má rozhodně něco do sebe.
Asphyx says:
It has become a habit, perhaps more addiction. Every day I go to the cemetery to talk to the dead every day. I was left alone and deserted. I take the smell of rotten leaves on the road, hiding in the shade of shaggy trees. I'm waiting for them to come. Meanwhile, I read the inscriptions on tombstones and I imagine who had which kind of life. I walk slowly and quietly, not to disturb the atmosphere of the place.
With the new album of Finnish INFIRMUM in my ears, I believed to eternity. I will exchange flowers and water, gravel sand on the grave. I stop for a moment, telling myself what I've been doing all day, and tears are coming in my eyes. I listen classic doom metal in the style of PARADISE LOST, SABBATH, MY DYING BRIDE, ANATHEMA, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION. Everywhere around is death and nothingness.
The moments associated with visiting close relatives, same as doom metal, cannot be described too much by words. Music is more powerful, it affects my mind quite differently. The novelty "Walls of Sorrow Infirmum" is more like a depressive image that will appeal to you in the gallery. I've been listening music for too long, so I'm going to trust more to my heart than to other things. From the new album under which Mr. Timo Solonen is signed is again possible to feel great sorrow, the endless procession of survivors, death and solitude. The atmosphere is very dark and the listening really hurts. You know, I still think doom metal is more a state of mind than a classic metal style. Stop your steps, perceive the beat of a dying life. The world is suddenly black, gray like a morning in a deserted city. Dark and funeral are moods of the recording. So again tomorrow night, I'll take new flowers and open the cemetery gate. The Circle of Life and Death, End and Beginning, "Walls of Sorrow Infirmum" will play to my steps. Traditional, classic, atmospheric and infinitely sad doom /death metal, where you meet your own shadow!
