Maiden be made
Of lost ships and hollow graves
Shallow seasons
The wind carries to the sea
Water grows dark
As do the hearts of men
Sinking despair
Siren’s gift so precious, She will follow
Savior be saved
How long til her signal fades
Red in waiting
Oil illuminates the sun
Slow and fading
Our conscience floats away
Maiden be made
Of lost ships and hollow graves
She will follow
Down the depths
Water is every breath
Look up from below
Lights a distant star
What remains of the shackles
Long faded from the shallows
Gasping breath, where cormorants rest
Behold the waves so high
Crashing down to the bottom
This is not just music. It is pure emotion. Pure sensation. It is the auditory mirror, reflecting all your pent-up fear, frustration, rage, disbelief and hatred. it is complete and utter darkness engulfing you.
- and yet it still feels so warm and comforting.The darkness, presented in this form. Nick Jensen
This album is a rare JEWEL! Saratis has a great voice. Didn't even knew about this band before. It popped-up on me on youtube, but recognized his vocal. Check his other band ''AMON ACID'' if you like this kind of music - pure heavy psych at it's best. ʀɛʐռɨӄ
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
Former members of the great band SubRosa return as The Otolith, and their debut LP finds them at the peak of their mighty powers. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2022
Purification stand tall, a towering statue in the temple, as one of the finest DOOM acts today. A masterwork strikes in the dark of night! As others note, a distinct Type O-ish gothy vibe adds interesting new flavor to the band’s palate while the base is still 100% Purification. Rips from the rhythms, to the keys, to the sax, to the vocals, everything coming together under the dominion of THE meanest riffs you have heard in an eon of the Earth. Just stupidly delicious, thick, lush musicality. pinkytheent
