silence is falling
through infinite spiracles
solace comes only from spiritual tension
in narrowing depths
no one expects a miracle
the deceitful heart's longing for redemption
staggered and torn by the sincere desire
to undo the stains of an ancient ghost
the gathering screams of a hollowborn choir
a cerebral tumour draining its host
the dim light is casting shades in the tunnels
strange apparitions cloud the mind
a planar transition, unnoticed and subtle
to face the delusions that were left behind
water is pouring
from cracks in the ceiling
distant sounds echoe in the cavernous dark
the whispers they carry
are strangely appealing
all the promises broken left their mark
born from a wish by the sincere desire
to undo the stains of an ancient ghost
the gathering screams of a hollowborn choir
a cerebral tumour draining its host
the dim light is casting shades in the tunnels
strange apparitions cloud the mind
a planar transition, unnoticed and subtle
to face the delusions that were left behind

I saw E-L-R on Tour with Wolves in the Throne Room in Münster/Germany earlier this year. Beautiful post black metal and pretty nice guys - met them by the merch table after the concert. Sælzer Bub

Imagine a warm, dark wave slowly enveloping the world around you. By the time you realize it's wrapped around your shoulders, the world falls away and you drift through endless shadow.
An amazing ambient, doom, metal thing that creeps slowly through your head and lurks behind your eyes. It's beautiful. It's abrasive. And you should surrender to it's depth for 40 minutes. mistermunn
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
