starvynth A homage to the "good old days" but without growing dusty and stale, possessing a reverential awe of the scene's big names without ever sounding like a mere copy of any of their paragons - that's exactly what the Greek one-man band The Sullen has achieved.

Easily my favorite EP of the year 2020.

Crimson 04:18
Dearest mother The sun has forgotten us War, famine and pest Consumed the best of my kin Dearest father Your knowledge proved of no use The world you taught me of Resembles no world that I face "Be patient" -But we've waited enough "Night's darkest hour calls for the dawn" What kind of night lasts for a lifetime? This darkness has always been there Or light was forever concealed from my eyes If all must suffer the cowardice of man Then I shall take a stand Let your sins mark my soul For perdition to leave you all behind The blade of justice Dismembers the body And I hope the light that engulfs me Shines too on the world But I can only hope...

Earthen Sky 04:40
An illness upon the hollow flesh A fragile balance so simply disrupt So bow down A farewell's caress Though I'll forever be here Despite your illusions of loss And stare at the sky While my spirit remains below In fire and water Fuel to all life to grow Earthen Sky Let me fall to your wide open arms And the stories held in this vessel Be a testament of what is to come All action written in stone As the circle forever will turn Earthen Sky Collapse on our shoulders Earthen Sky Embrace your fallen stars All sorrows will pass And so will joy As powers above Create and destroy And as our bodies Wither and decay Oh brother you'll find This world runs on pain

An army of dead Fixated upon the living Who dare disturb their peace The bells echo... Eyes pulsating with fear As they stare at the earthly mirror Tears guide the ritual of death The litany of pain A sorrow stronger than any The gaze of our future self Lethe forgets none Arms embrace Collapsing under their own weight A feast for vultures and worms Oh, our beloved flesh The bells echo... Watch them mourn Sullenly holding their face Desparate to forget As they pray to a lesser God Pray to a lesser God
