I dont like physical media, it takes up much place, but I still buy cds to support the artist. Sometimes I don't even open them tho..

I listened to it, but it didn't do too much for me really.. I sometimes like this style, but for instance Coldworld from Germany do it much better i.m.o., check out the album Melancholy2.Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but it is a 2009 release so I guess so,
Any of you know Austere?
I just recently came across them ( because my boyfriend played it of course) .
I wouldn't know how to describe them best, apart from black metal I guess , but what really stood out for me where the vocals!
The clean vocals are awesome!
They don't use them very often but I really like his voice a lot!!!
The music as a whole is awesome reallybut I definitely wouldn't mind them
using the clean vocals even more next time.

You can check out their myspace and especially the song "Just for a Moment"
since he uses clean vocals there the most.

I interviewed Austere once for a zine. Interesting fellow and I liked the vocals too, wish there were more clean.

Me too.. I once had a lot of tapes, cds and records but I moved across the world a few times and had to get rid of the stuff that wasn't precious. Now it just takes up space I don't have in my loungeroom. Though for a few bands I must keep everything physically. (Katatonia being one)
I still have big boxes of stuff sitting in my friends attic in the Netherlands and it is annoying to feel attached to these cds/tapes/records when I cannot get them til she has time to package it. I cannot tell her to get rid of them either. Just stuck there in limbo.
Demo for 2009 so far - Innsmouth

I regard the lyrics in The Alchemy Index as some of the best around.
Silver Wings
"From tender years you took me for granted
But still I deign to wander through your lungs
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed,
(Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung)
I drew the poison from the summer's sting,
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin.
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing;
And if you'd let me I would move again.
I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair;
Helped form the final words before your death.
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air;
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath.
And after all of this I am amazed,
That I am cursed far more than I am praised"
The Flame Deluge
"I feel that I was meant for something more
My curse, this awful power to unmake
And ever since you found your taste for war
You forced me onto those whose life you'd take
While Guernica in peaceful valley lay
And Dresden dreamed of anything but death
The day was turned to night and night to day
You let me loose upon their fragile flesh
And so I hid among the smaller things
You found me there and ferried me above
The flame deluge is waiting in the wings
The smallest thread holds back the second flood
And who will stand to greet the blinding light
It's lonely when there's no one left to fight"
Child of Dust
"Dear prodigal you are my son and I
Supplied you not your spirit, but your shape.
All Eden's wealth arrayed before your eyes;
I fathomed not you wanted to escape.
And though I only ever gave you love,
Like every child you've chosen to rebel.
Uprooted flow'rs and filled the holes with blood;
Ask not for whom they toll, the solemn bells.
A child of dust, to mother now return;
For every seed must die before it grows.
And though above the world may toil and turn,
No prying spades will find you here below.
Now safe beneath their wisdom and their feet
Here I will teach you truly how to sleep."
Kings Upon the Main
"The lesson you'd do well not to forget
Your life could be the one it's wisdom saves
At sea, where you're beleaguered and beset
On every side by strife of wind and waves
Despite the best of maps and the bravest men
For all their mighty names and massive forms
There'll never be, there has never been
A ship or fleet secure against the storms
When kings upon the main have clung to pride
And held themselves as masters of the sea
I've held them down beneath the crushing tide
Till they have learned that no one masters me
But grace can still be found within the gale
With fear and reverence, raise your ragged sail"
Silver Wings

Bat For Lashes has a new album called Two Suns, it's verrrry good
http://www.myspace.com/batforlashes
there's hardly any songs there, but Daniel is a purely emotionally charged nostalgia track, perfect time for it too
