lyrics

The great cyclic unsheathing
A snake from its skin
The weary body seething with desire to release what's within
A prisoner no more
When death comes for him
Unlocking the doorway to the brilliant light therein

A place not unknown
A familiar path
Hazed and overgrown but the way pulls at him as it did in the past
Every step he takes
Farther from this hollow world
A gordian knot of crushing sorrow so casually unfurled

Unbroken
Unbreakable
The supreme truth unmistakable
Life has naught to do with the physical
But with conscious existence immaterial

Interludes of life
Where he walks the earth
Are mere fractions of existence where he is less alive upon birth
A life cast aside
And the shell ceases breath
Now the burdens are lifted
He escapes a dead life into a living death

A place not unknown
A familiar path
Hazed and overgrown but the way pulls at him as it did in the past
Every step he takes
Farther from this hollow world
A gordian knot of crushing sorrow so casually unfurled

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert

I wasn't ready for this album, but it burst into my life through a brick wall like the Kool-Aid man on methamphetamines and beat the living daylights out of me just for the hell of it. As others have mentioned, this is an unrelenting and vicious slab of chaotic blackened death metal that levels everything in its path, takes no prisoners, and is not for the weak of heart. If there is a Guinness Book of World Record entry for metal, then the drummer of this band should be included. PannionSeer

by NONE

supported by 6 fans who also own “A Dead Life Into A Living Death”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
