When the flames extinguish
The rope which tethered
A belief gasping to survive
A first breath
A first step
Sharpening focus
To a gaze now lifted
And you stare
Upon the absurd
Transcending circularity
Fading deceit at every turn
And so you stare
Upon that which stares back
The shapeless, lightless watcher
Lurking
Vortex
Austere mirror
Reveals that which is to be

Crumbling upon reflection
Defenseless certainty
Your true world was always here
Can you hear the deafening laughter?
Form is emptiness
Emptiness is form
Shudder at this toil
Sink into these shifting sands

Spirit brought to slaughter
Meaning reduced to naught
Theory betraying fact
Forever begging to ask
What was, now is, and forever it shall be
The Sisyphean curse
Judgment at existence
Doomed wretched truth
Great burden crowned heavily upon the head
Shameful salvation
Abolished from the roots
Sown abhorrent, tacit singularity
So raise the question higher
It will fall upon deaf ears
Downwards
Ever downwards

The Knocking, Or The Story of the Sound that Preceded Their Disappearance
by Doldrum
supported by 7 fans who also own “Abyss”
I will forever live with regret that I slept on this album for nearly a year. I will ramble with bleary eyed delirium about how freakishly good this album is to anyone who will listen. But rather than rambling here, I'll just say that The Knocking is fiendish, sinister, and dementedly delightful. Doldrum has really delivered something otherworldly with this record. You need this in your puny mortal life.

Sounds like the sound track from the version of Disney's Hercules that they screen in hell.

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.
