And this is how you do it. By not thinking, not planning, not bothering, not comparing, just going with the flow. Letting yourself go. Doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Yes, it's lonely out there. And yes, it is cold, dark, and you get depressed. You can even stop thinking. But - Nature surrounding you is still beautiful. There are wet, fog-covered trees in the distance, barely visible stars in the sky, cold water in the deep. They can still be described. It doesn't have to be by using words. You can describe them using raw guitars and screams. Why not? Nature is random, it is not polished, there is pain and there is joy, nothing repeats, and no one says you have to use a certain way of expression to describe something. Use your own. It's all a matter of perspective anyway, and, honestly, the Universe doesn't classify things like that. They just exist. So if you're hearing glorious symphonic synths sweeping over slow depressive black metal soundscapes, maybe the keys are actually the sad thing, and the other thing represents happiness. Or, simply, acceptance of the way things are. In someone's viewpoint. Of course, one thing is mandatory, absolutely necessary: Actually having a viewpoint. And Idaaliur has it. It's not one of those depressive suicidal bands with "chord up, chord down" riffs and pretending to be "atmospheric". Neither is Idaaliur a clone of Xasthur, Burzum or anyone else. My Frost, Your Solace has its own melodies, its own emotions, its own personality and its own resonance. Even if it can be depressive, it is someone's depression, someone's dream, someone's thoughts. Not just something pointing in a general depressive direction and hoping someone would notice that someone, sometimes, sort of, can get miserable. Idaaliur is the real thing. And you can connect to My Frost, Your Solace without trying. It will bring the feelings to you, or remind you of the feelings you once experienced. Yes, we could talk about symphonic compositions, aural nuances, various instruments, additional female vocals and sound quality, but what would be the point? My Frost, Your Solace is something you listen to without thinking. It's a feeling, a world in a sound, a sound in a world. Source - Funereal Drone Comments are closed.
