Illuxit nobis carnis lumen suis.
Sumus sanguis iustus.
Nos sunt pulverem.
Sumus iustus umbra.
Sanguine justi in carne.
Magnitudo umbra sumus.
Nos vita parvus parte mediocritas.
Funus canimus clamor.
Verba exprimere tristitia.
Nostros est quasi vacuum,
quod est manantis et cadens arenam...
Nos cinis...
Ut tellus carnem habemus sanguinem...
Nos scopum supra.
Nos non sperare.
Nos audire nihil.
Panem manducavimus voluptatum.
Esurientes et iterum sanguine ponam luctus.
Nobis sunt pulvis
Nobis sunt umbris
Nobis sunt sanguia

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again.
I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom. fluo
