about
17th-century Irish poem
lyrics
I am stretched on your grave and will lie there forever
With your hand held in mine I’d be sure we’d not sever
My apple tree, my brightness, ‘tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth and am stained by the weather
When my family thinks that I’m safe in my bed
From night until morning I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air with tears both hot and wild
Oh I grieve for the girl that I loved as a child
~
With your hand held in mine I’d be sure we’d not sever
My apple tree, my brightness, ‘tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth and am stained by the weather
When my family thinks that I’m safe in my bed
From night until morning I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air with tears both hot and wild
Oh I grieve for the girl that I loved as a child

The Uncanny Valley

Disco Inferno is the best synthwave-esque track I've ever heard, and that says a lot.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.

An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur.
go to album -
The goth group head into heavier, more distorted territory on their latest, inspired by the folklore of the golem.
go to album -
A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 26 fans who also own “I Am Stretched On Your Grave”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
