Agalloch - Dead Winter Days

[MoonLightShadow]

Hi, I have question about this sentence in Agalloch - Dead Winter Days song.
"Pillorian for the dead winter", What is the meaning of "Pillorian"?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

"The pillory was a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation and often further physical abuse, sometimes lethal."

It is an invented adjective means "of pillories".

I think that i have understood you (my english is not so good, sorry)
I can write "Pillorian for the dead winter"
as "humiliation for the dead winter"?
Or i have not understood it right?

No. Its more of a tool for torture.

Probably Agalloch themselves don't know what that means. I mean, they can't even pronounce their own band name correctly.

No. Its more of a tool for torture.

So the meaning of "Pillorian" is to torture with pillory?
And the meaning of the sentence is to torture the dead winter?

Probably Agalloch themselves don't know what that means. I mean, they can't even pronounce their own band name correctly.

I liked this band a lot a few years ago but I never find myself wanting to hear them anymore.

Skipping Marrow of the Spirit would be a mistake. It's excellent.

I think what Agalloch is saying is that winter sucks and is depressing, the only reason why we have winter is because the ruler of hades tempted some chick with some fruit. And now everyone who has shitty ass winterd has to suffer, fucking bitch.
