Do you like physical media? Sure, we all do, but vinyl is ridiculously expensive so I settled on the good old fashioned compact disc, lovingly crafted and full of cool art and loud music. Once they're gone they're really gone so grab a piece of history whydoncha?

lyrics

he lays his head under prophetic skies
to conjure up his own vision of god
a deity assembled from the blood and
filth of a mind withdrawn from the light

unquestioned rhetoric has spoiled his faith
in himself, in his eyes, in the ones who would care
a black equation that has sullied his soul to
accept all the lies that have shattered his life

i search for time that i will never get back
a past always out of reach
my eyes can’t look to the future
strange symbols are blinding me

the shadows mar the memories of his life
obscuring the thoughts that were once held pure
would this but melt, he laments to the sky
as he willingly sinks himself in the dark

i search for sins that i cannot erase
when i was more than i am
i cling to sigils that are false in the light
strange symbols are haunting me

about

Necrolytic Goat Converter New York

Started as a joke band name crowd-sourced on Facebook, then turned into something else: therapy through music.

Thanks for checking out one man working through his personal demons, badly, through the music that he loves. ... more

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 110 fans who also own “Strange Symbols”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 96 fans who also own “Strange Symbols”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
