Victim of That Before

It was cold down on the beachhead,
standing looking out over the frozen drifts, fog lifting like ghosts exiting a world truly better off left alone.
I remember the dark air pinching at our faces like fingers, a pain offset by the firewater and promises we were fuelling ourselves with, honouring the leaving ghosts and their memories, saluting the dark sea.
Cascading words fall.
Into the pool.
Sink sink, to the bottom.
No air no room.
Drown down in confusion.
Concatenating lines.
Old old, I sink further.
Accept/reject my mind.
Accept.
Reject.
Forgive.
Forget.
And it flows.
And it slows.

Rising forth from froth of grey, a single hand points to last of day.
The compass point askew.
Dangling, as a leaf-stripped branch,
a wind a salt upon lips to taste.
Ice of air drifts with chill of tides.
She is alone she always was.
The drowning is slow. One last breath.
Turning. Convulsing. Writhing. Creeping. Swallowing pride.
Yes you've got those claws in.
Lungs burn ice numbs pain. Dragging fingers on crusts of ice.

Between fingers memories fall adrift.
Turning downwards sinking like mist.
Fractured. Repressed.
All this false air you digest.
Fractured. Repressed.
All this false air you digest.
Truthless. Nameless. Amnesiac. Irrelevance.
This is your continuation.
Dust-soaked. Stream-cracked. Ageless. Heritage. Orphaned. Abuser.

about
A sonic expression of drowning and loss. Concealed worlds with slithers of light and forgiveness between seasonal storms.
Australian solo progressive metal and piano-driven experimental electronic music. Seven years since our last release (the post-rock and industrial-inspired "Involution"), Minorarc returns to blend djent, classical and ambient electro into new landscapes.
During the third quarter of 2020, Untold was chalked out as a purely instrumental concept album. During the course of producing the album however, lyrics began to sneakily claw their way through the murky shadows and assert themselves into a few of the recording sessions. The title was kept in spite of these changes.
The accompanying remix album is available at: minorarc.bandcamp.com/album/untold-blind-remixes

This is like one of the most emotional records I've ever heard? Probably not. But it's so beautiful and ugly in every measure, I have nothing to compare to.

It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas.
go to album -
Shadowy synth music with the density of noise and the swirling psychedelia of shoegaze.
