For Memento Mori, I wanted to trial using clean female vocals over extreme blast beats, to see how it sounded - because to my knowledge this combination had never been done before or since, so it was the only way to find out if it worked.
lyrics
Bitter cold was the night
But the coldest of frost was inside
Now I see the fear within your eyes
For I know on this night, you will die
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Honi soit qui mal y pense
All I think of now is suicide
For there is no place to run, no place to hide
There is no escaping from my mind
In the solitude of death I do confide
Memento Mori
Memento Mori
You must remember
That you will die
Like a fallen angel
Down from the sky
You were so Pure
Of heart and mind
Now you're dead
I did not cry.

Music: Kwan & Wallbridge
Lyrics: Kwan
(1995-2002)
Absolute perfection in its genre. If you are emotional like me, you will end up crying while listening to this album. It really touches the deepest strings of your heart and soul, a gem of doomy epicness, wonderful in every part. My most favourite 2014 album. Grewon
I like it because it bears all the familiar trademarks of the band, because I hold Saturnus in great esteem, because there are no two singers like him and because, like anyone else. they keep writing those beautiful, tranquil, colourful songs in which I let me drift in delight. Bertrand Marchal
The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann
