lyrics
We passed the last of the outliers three days ago
Silhouettes in negative against space
Burnt out and open to nothingness
They drift on their final trajectory
Perhaps to enter orbit around some distant body
But for now, spent and useless
We are now the last
Life support, as always, perpetual
Everything that ever will be contained within our sphere
Impossibly thin solar array ten thousand kilometers long drift behind, invisibly wicking energy from nothing
Heat from hard vacuum, to push us forever onwards on a silver thread
We are the last, cast blindly into the future
All I see is light
A million, trillion points of light staring back
Silhouettes in negative against space
Burnt out and open to nothingness
They drift on their final trajectory
Perhaps to enter orbit around some distant body
But for now, spent and useless
We are now the last
Life support, as always, perpetual
Everything that ever will be contained within our sphere
Impossibly thin solar array ten thousand kilometers long drift behind, invisibly wicking energy from nothing
Heat from hard vacuum, to push us forever onwards on a silver thread
We are the last, cast blindly into the future
All I see is light
A million, trillion points of light staring back

Improvised noise doom session. Guattari is their best album. This one is a live recording, less structured and just as essential. The first song's riff made me think of a more evil version of Sunn's Richard (which already sounds like a plane crashing into a building).

Super heavy drums, bass and ambiance. Kool Keith feature is on-point, as well.

Much Unseen Is Also Here
by Lustmordsupported by 5 fans who also own “Verses”
Much Unseen Is Also Here is more than an album; it is a portal to unexplored worlds, a sensory experience that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Divided into three distinctive parts, this album demands total commitment from the listener. It is a deep immersion in a dark and apocalyptic atmosphere, where silence itself seems to teem with latent energy. https://www.versacrum.com/vs/2024/04/lustmord-much-unseen-is-also-here.html
