The concrete monoliths towered
all the porcine faces scowled
my lungs emptied and agony howled
I tell myself that it’s over now
Built by stars above, like beacons
pointed fingers through cloud a’peeking
celestial touch, an ample cosmos
casting sky and rains upon us
Bathed in the moon’s soft light
covered, heavy cloak of night
It's the same old story...
A wanderer stops to breathe again
It’s the same old story...

Razors
Flaying skin
Knives
Stabbing skin
Vomit
Dripping down
Blood
Burning crown
Torture
Self inflicted
Writhe
Not conflicted...to die
Come to harm...
Clean for a day
I feel no dismay
I do not persuade
My heart to delay..this fix
...this elixir...this fixer...
Heroin...the immaculate realisation of pain and harm.
Heroin...
Torture
Self inflicted
Writhe
Not conflicted...to die
Dopesick again
Clean for a day
I feel no dismay
I do not persuade
My heart to delay..this fix
...this elixir..
You are safe in my arms
And you’ll only come to harm

She falls into frame
With a professional pout
But the Polaroid's ignite
Upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts
Too much exposure
Voyeur sucks into focus
Floodlit the glossy kiss-pit
But as emulsion drips down - down
The aperture shuts
Too much exposure
Come into this room
Come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing
Another shutterslut wincing
The sagging half wit sister
Pretty, pretty picture
Of an ancient nipple shrinking
That kodak whore winking
'Til the aperture shuts
Too much exposure

Opium Grave Melbourne, Australia
Opium Grave is Black Kosmische Musik - a malignant hybrid of black metal, darkwave, 70s and 80s horror/sci-fi soundtracks,
early electronic music and krautrock.
Opium Grave is Siliniez: all synthesizers, drums, organ, voices, lyrics and loathing.
Mankind is a plague upon the Earth and deserves nothing but scorn.

Opium Grave recommends:
John Carpenter's music has always exuded calculated minimalism and a dark atmosphere. He is a hugely influential film maker and master composer. "Lost Themes" offers sinister sonic perfection.

Faerie Über Alles
by NUIT NOIRE
There is no other band like Nuit Noire. A fusion of raw BM, punk and a truly obscure nocturnal spirit. The forest is alive with strange creatures of the night and this is their essence, in audio form.
go to album
To me, this record is a perfect synthesis of forest ambience and cold, tortured black metal. A wholly transcendent experience, right up there with the "Wind of Moors" release from 2005. Hails.

Eternal Night
by Night of the Vampire
Blistering synthwave black metal—you read that correctly—pits infernal rasps against neon-like keys for a scarily good time.
