Sing No Coda 13:28
No one hears the pulling of the bell, Only the bird of my coffin tree Wind and salt whisper high above my cell, Jackdaw please free me! Oh my love, from grace I never fell, From under the shroud I ache to speak Asphyxiate in silence Asphyxiate in silence Asphyxiate in silence To swim with the gods in cosmic dust Is my body broken? Am I diseased? I am, it seems, my own enemy The voices never cease taunting me, But I will fight my way back to thee Sing no coda by the stream, Instead my friends, wait, wait for me The voices never cease haunting me, But I will fight my way back to thee Sing no coda by the stream, Instead my friends, wait, wait for me Sing no coda by the stream, Instead my friends, wait, wait for me!

Called by a voice Pulled from my bed Torpid and led Called by a voice Pulled from my bed Torpid, subdued, and dead Amidst the winds, Abreast the chanting trees I stray from the lane, Past loris eyes; past fireflies They appeared to me beside the spring, Out from under Andromeda’s wing Am I chosen? We have chosen I’m wheeling in flight ( I ) Over the road ( Left ) I will risk the darkness, ( My ) to gamble for the light ( Body ) Hallowed for us, Fallow forest Crippled clay canvas, Swept clean of us Hallowed for us, Fallow forest Crippled clay canvas

Ekpyrotic 09:27
Skimming grit from atop the rolling gantry Dark matter substrate Field of space-time, fine-tuned for life Stardust incarnate Slipping the gunner’s knot doctrine spell Wily witch moving Hidebound malice cannot breach Anima mundi Each of us holds a seed of power That cannot be thieved They can only cast distractions Vaporous haze of sleep LAY BARE THE KEEP! Vincit Omnia Veritas Vincit Omnia Veritas Vincit Omnia Veritas Vincit Omnia Veritas Threads of the wells of metal Liquid snake rising You think I’m afraid to go dark But I remember I am both the leaf and the root Over and under Like the rat you think I am I chew through your trap Shredding your crude seams reveals my Ekpyrotic dream Great birds once human gather to drink In the high desert night WE ARE THE LIGHT! Amor Vincit Omnia Amor Vincit Omnia Amor Vincit Omnia Amor Vincit Omnia

Hubris 09:50
Who plays the agonist In skies below us Waiting in passages Prescribing onus The unknowing captive Penitent and shaking, To your dismay Must surely awaken Chasing the sage inside I tumble wanton to the mud In skirts of white No fear of the coil Nor the tides that take my mind Nor the tides that take my kind Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh, Hubris like smoke in your mane Your mane Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh, Hubris like smoke in your mane Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh, Hubris like smoke in your mane Your mane Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh, Hubris like smoke in your mane Spheres of ash And points of pride Along the fireroad Toward demise Hickory switch Flick of the whip Lash of the strap Taste of iron between teeth Taste of iron between teeth Taste of Iron between teeth Ride now, wretch! Do not look back!

Bone Dust 09:34
Shoal! Heed my summons! Kore! Seed thy furrow! Foal! Test thy stratum! Host! Into Battle! Host! Into Battle! Host! Into Battle!

Dispirit 11:08
I am here I will wait I will watch You are not alone It tears It tears at the flesh Ripping, shearing It exposes the bone It tears It tears at the mind Sinking, drowning It entombs the soul It is cold A cold dark place There is no light There is no warmth It is a path, A path walked alone There is no end There is no escape

about

Rising from the ashes of Salt Lake City's beloved avant-garde and symphonic doom juggernauts SubRosa comes new entity THE OTOLITH, who present their debut album "Folium Limina."

Following the same muse of cataclysmic melancholy, SubRosa’s Kim Cordray, Levi Hanna, Andy Patterson and Sarah Pendleton (along with bassist Matt Brotherton) draw no line between beauty and doom, as The Otolith weave ghostly symphonic strings with crushing bass, guitar and percussion into a tapestry of velvet darkness across which voices call through time and space to arrive at a sea of liquid stars.

The overpowering feeling that emanates from the album’s tar-thick hymns is a stirring combination of exhaustion and determination, as if The Otolith took Samuel Beckett’s words to heart: “I can’t go on, I’ll go on.” Every wrenching emotion across the hour-long journey is honest and hard-earned, and you can feel the band digging deep to find a catharsis of collective release.

The world is a heavy place, and sometimes it’s good to sit with an old friend and pick up where you left off. With "Folium Limina," The Otolith invite you to bring your burden and find it lightened - even a little - through the cleansing ritual of richly mournful atmospheric metal.
