Монотонное седое молоко
Опустилось на забытые долины.
Серая холодная жижа
Поглощает себя в пространстве.
Редкие холмы как надгробия,
Покрытые нетронутым снегом.
Жидкое царство смерти,
Под низким уставшим небом
Оседающие хлопья тумана
Одевают в бледное ожерелье
Корявые голые ветви.
Шаги… Чьи-то шаги…
Слышатся там, в долине…
Нарушают Февральский сон…
Крик… Всплеск… Гул…
Тишина… Вновь тишина…
Ветра нет, здесь ветра нет.
Мертва одинокая пустота.
Меланхолия сырой хляби.
Ипохондрия, грядет забвение.
Гнилостный запах топи –
Резкий запах равнодушия.
Спокойствие… Снега бы…
Только туман… Небо…

Paralysis
Bleak grey smoke
Covers the derelict lowlands
Cold dim slime
Devours itself across all the land.
Rare hills are tombstones
Covered by untouched snow.
Liquid realm of death
Under the exhausted firmament
And falling flakes of fog
Lay as pale necklaces
Upon ugly dry branches.
Someone's footsteps
can be heard
there, in the valley
Stirring December slumber
A scream, a cry, a groan
Silence... silence again.
There's no wind in here.
It's deadly quietening.
melancholy of the damp abyss
hypochondria, here comes the oblivion.
Putrid stench of the mire
Thick aroma of indifference
Serenity... as if it snowed...
Yet only smoke... the sky...

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer
