mandybb Lone Wanderer take Mournful Congregation flavored funeral doom and take it to a level far beyond just being a clone. Probably one of the most talented doom bands active today and this album is definitive proof of that

Funeral Fog Not sorry at all I got one more album, & this was the absolute best choice, no doubt. Quite possibly album of the year. Good lord this atmosphere is unsettling, in the best way funeral doom represents!

Kael Pádraig Lone Wanderer are one of the Four Kings of Funeral Doom and this album legitimizes their claim to the shared throne. Favorite track: Into Sepulchral Halls.

tr_🇺🇦 Finally some good funeral doom, easily in the hardly curated top 5 of 2020. Bombastic, calm FD with great melodies and growls. All of these songs are convincing and bring me joy. This is like standing in a field on a cloudy day when your surroundings move at an unnatural speed, yet you remain docile, unphased by everything. It's mending music that sheds light on how insignificant our struggles really are. Favorite track: Into Sepulchral Halls.

Domes occulting the firmament Spires towering the righteous Enthralled by roaring echoes Foreboding the final tide Contagious cry of apathy Tightening its iron grip The bitterness of regret And meaninglessness of grief Feed on inner repulsiveness A call from the depths of escapism Mask of the arisen dread Carved into immaculate stone The sudden surge of lucidity Still dwarfed by the leaning spires Domes occulting the firmament Spires towering the righteous Inhale the wondrous light From the bottomless chasm Regurgitate the pitiful waste That shapes your deformed crawl At long last, beneath the domes you will be unburdened…
2.
Herald the unsung dirge Arisen form of the blear nebula Indistinct, ever drawing closer Summoned and corporealized In gnosis, in unrest In lamentation and grim understanding of the eternal, sepulchral rite Slow are the mills That grind osseous matter To cosmic dust What am I? World’s lifeless extension… Where to next? Into sepulchral halls… Eternal, eternal is the rite…
3.
Dispersed dust I inhale Entrancing light of the flickering flame I shall make my descend Into these dark caverns of grief Where shadows of old self are buried The onyx vault of coenesthesia Deeper onward - towards old recurrence Ouroboros incarnate appears before me Weary of my sorrow I seek hands outstretched to relieve me How perspicuous, all things appear In the ghoulish light of bitterness Is it in the nature of all being Or is it merely my weakness? In the wake of this fateful hour In the absence of will to life The primordial truth, it now occurs to me: Life is a futile beacon in an eternity of blindness How can I bear these thoughts How can I keep on living? How can I see so clear Why can’t I resist? Why?
4.
Lecherous servant of the tides That weave the existential plane Begotten from inward exhaustion Impugn, reveal, what is thy will? Streams of argentine tears Dirge of an essence shattered Thy woes shall be lifted Winter Commence thy great augmentation Augmentation, embodiment Descendance of the squashing nebula Perfection of the primal circle The tyrants of willinglessness Have summoned equilibrium… Something unspoken is drawing closer Ascending from winter’s cold soil Roots turn into tendrils Peering into nothingness Suffer the senses fading Enter finality, In this Faustian winter Enshrined in stillness Blessed be winter Engulfed in twilight Blessed be frost Time and again spires emerge Piercing the scarlet horizon Crumble, return to dust As earth will be earth End will be beginning Winter, commence thy reclamation Frozen still lifeless quiescence Time and again values reverse Hailing a darkened horizon Crumble, return to dust As earth will be earth End will be beginning Watcher – Servant! Fear not, for all will pass on Now that the domes and archways have turned to dust The burden of remembrance lies upon you
