about

Barrow’s Embrace was recorded in two parts, first within death’s arms 2008. Then completed in a final embrace with death 2010.
Recorded in the Crypts of Rays by Set Sothis Nox La and Isamu Sato.

This version was released as a split with Mania in a cassette edition of 30 copies. Coinciding with Mania’s 2010 U.S. tour.
A second release on cassette arose from death in 2015 through Grey Sun. 100 copies.

A previous version of this song was included on Hail’s Folklife Festival CDR. Limited to an edition of 30 copies. And subsequently reissued in an equally limited edition 2 years following. The Hail release coincided with a tour with Fauna, Leech and Velnias in 2009.

Barrow’s Embrace was originally conceived in 2005-6 with Liz Abyss, Bloody Rich and Kody Keyworth. Much respect and thanks to both ensembles for manifesting this plague.

Additional hails go to Corrupted who highly influenced this song.

lyrics

Barrow’s Embrace

Languid, Desperate
A life in plague
Life drained from this once fecund earth
The sun slips below the canopy of dead leaves
The black night like an embrace of steel
Black sun eclipse, swollen suffocation.

Till the barren earth
Embrace of steel

We arise from the night like the dead
Enshrouded in mist, this barrow dusk, like suffocation
Clutched in the barrows embrace
Blood dawn coffin fettered earth
Conceived in the shade of the gallows tree

Wolves howl, marshalling a night tide
A chorus of locust
Augur of the gallows
Blood dawn coffin

Clutched in the barrow’s embrace, embrace
Dusk life suffocation. Charnel wagons
Piled high, death bells clangor, cobbled streets

Exposed, starving.
We arise from the night like the dead
Languid, desperate.

Wolves howl
No escape, no escape
Wolves howl
Black sun eclipse
Wolves howl
Exposed, starving.
Wolves howl.
