In the Shadows

You hear me
That was not
Supposed to be
Voice from inside
It tears me apart
I'll find a way to break the chain
drag this voice from my head
In the shadows of my mind I have fallen
In the shadows there is only misery
In the shadows I can hear the voices scream
Set me free from this emptiness inside of me
Can you see
What it would be
To be free
Live your life
Fight to survive
I'll find a way to look inside
Drag this voice from my mind
In the shadows of my mind I have fallen
In the shadows there is only misery
In the shadows I can hear the voices scream
Set me free from this emptiness inside of me
In the shadows of my mind I have fallen
In the shadows there is only misery
In the shadows I can hear the voices scream
Set me free from this emptiness inside
In the shadows I am lost without purpose
In the shadows I can feel my mind decay
In the shadows there is nothing but the darkness of my heart can you see this plague inside of me

A Stranger to Myself
06:54
|

|
The night
So lonely and desolate
Your figure
Stuck in the past
For a long time
The present hasn't received
The fruits of our love
Just the past
There is nothing in this moment
That can relive the past
Or to offer satisfaction
To the profound
I feel as though
I'm a stranger to myself
And your voice
Sounds so unfamiliar
In this moment
We are not what we were
Yet complete strangers
In a distant memory
And those old feelings
Are trapped
In a memory
And they cannot be free
We both wish
There was an answer
An answer
that doesn't exist
I feel as though
I'm a stranger to myself
And your voice
Sounds so unfamiliar
In this moment
We are not what we were
Yet complete strangers
In a distant memory
Hold your tears
As I say goodbye
Because I know
This is the last time

Closed out
From this world
In my mind
In my dreams
All I see
That is beside me
Is slowly
Fading away
The days are just passing by
Happiness is just a memory
Why am I like this
Distant and aching
Compassion is only a gift
I don't want or need
Just let me lay here
A step closer to the grave
Once love
Now hate
Once sympathy
Now emptiness
Each one of us
Has a cross
They must bear
But I wish
Mine was just
Something else
Sympathy sickens me
Because it does nothing
Deprived of empathy
Towards myself and all of you
Where are the good days
I don't know if I want them back
Maybe I don't care
Nothing matters anyway
Once love
Now hate
Once sympathy
Now emptiness
Dreams and fantasies
All
have an expiration
Yet we are
So ignorant
Blinded to the truth
Each one of us
Has a cross
They must bear
But I wish
Mine was just
Something else
In the end all I know is
We are in charge
Of our own faith
Because we choose
What affects us
And what we will let go

The Sea of Misery
10:00
|
|||
|
The sea of misery
So vast and wide
Its waves crashing
With endless pride
A place of darkness
A place of pain
Where life is lost
And hope is slain
The sea of misery
A kingdom of despair
A realm of darkness
Where death is in the air
The waves are screaming
The winds howl
A place of suffering
Where hope is overthrown
The sea of misery
A cold and bitter grave
Where the souls of the lost
Are forever enslaved
The depths are haunted
By the souls of the damned
Their screams echo through the waters
A never - ending demand
The sea of misery
A kingdom of despair
A realm of darkness
Where death is in the air
The waves are screaming
The winds howl
A place of suffering
Where hope is overthrown
The sea of misery
A kingdom of despair
A realm of darkness
Where death is in the air
The waves are screaming
The winds howl
A place of suffering
Where hope is overthrown
The sea of misery
place of endless night
A place of darkness
where there is no light
Its waves will swallow you
Its depths will consume
A place of suffering
A never - ending gloom

The Day of Wrath
06:49
|
|||
|
In the age of false prophets and fallen angels
Controlled by vice, disease and war
A small figure, unnoticeably strides
Among the ruins that are left behind
As the sun downs
As this cancer grows
In search for redemption
We try to escape this mortal shell
Carrying this unbearable weight
Tortured and severed
We all walk alone
Through this valley, valley of tears
Wandering hopelessly through the abyss
Screaming in agony
We see the light through the mist
The day of wrath is upon us
Beaten, frightened, scared and neglected
We rush to the light
Figuring it was all in vain, all for nothing
Cause the Last Judgement has already been passed
As the trumpets sound
As the dead begin to rise
In search for redemption
We try to escape this mortal shell
Carrying this unbearable weight
Tortured and severed
We all walk alone
Through this valley, valley of tears
Wandering hopelessly through the abyss
Screaming in agony
We see the light through the mist
The day of wrath is upon us
Angst, fear
Struggle, denial
Rage, pain
Salvation....
Give us salvation

Silence

Silent
As the day dies
Anguish
Can be felt in the air
Darkness
Crawling to my soul
All I hear
Is the beating of my heart
I am lost in my dreams
This echoing silence
weighs heavy on my soul
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
I am lost, trapped, broken
Silent
Like a voice in my head
Screaming
Tearing my soul apart
Madness
Have i lost myself
In this world
That is not made for me
Why must I suffer this way
This deafening silence
That left scars on my skin
Burning with hatred unknown
Visions of horrors long gone
In my mind alive alone
This echoing silence
weighs heavy on my soul
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
I am lost, trapped, broken
This deafening silence
That left scars on my skin
Burning with hatred unknown
Visions of horrors long gone
In my mind alive alone
Why must I suffer this way
Why must I carry this pain
Here at the end
All that is left
Is
Silence

The End
05:02
|
|||
|
How come we never see the other side,
The light that awaits us in the end.
Do our minds transcend
To a higher level of existance
Or just die forever in wet soil.
Are we stuck in a never - ending cycle
Of creation and carnage
Or there to suffer only once
And leave this god - forsaken place
Never to be again.
No... Our sins are not forgiven
Our lives are not meaningful
Our wounds do not heal
Our blood was spilled in vain
For death is not another beginning
It is only the end...

Come and see this place
Full of wonders and mystery
Where I carve my path
My one shot at glory
Under the light neon and bright
My tale is told of fame and gold
But in my mind an illness resides
Help me survive to stay alive
Come and see inside my mind
Where this parasite resides
I will be free once more
To have my will and identity
Under the light neon and bright
My tale is told of fame and gold
But in my mind an illness resides
Help me survive to stay alive
Under the light neon and bright
My tale is told of fame and gold
But in my mind an illness resides
Help me survive to stay alive
Under the light

Vûlom Zagreb, Croatia
A young band from Croatia swarming with ideas of blending melodic phrases and crushing heavy sound with depressive soundscapes. Inspired by doom giants like Saturnus, October Tide, Dawn of Solace, Hamferð, Paradise Lost, Swallow the Sun, etc. We are trying to find a unique expression of our views towards the world and emotions. ... more
If you like Vûlom, you may also like:
supported by 6 fans who also own “A Step Closer to the Grave”
The reason is summarized in the reason why I love extreme doom: it's a matter of focus, intentions that never get diverted from one nature: the appeal for doom, and all emotions, visions, states of being the term implies.. It's a one-colour core that makes the whole. The limits of Arche's music embraces all doom is about; how can I not be very pleased with that?

The atmospheres are frosty, the music dark and foreboding, but the most important ascpet are the RIFFS! The music feels very thought out and well crafted. Good nipple-stiffening metal

Majestic Opus of blackened doomed brilliance, is like admiring all those darkened details that makes appealing a beautiful painting as we entail the emotional apprehension of the artist as he drives his musical brush to create a masterpiece worthy of the muse that dwelves in the pitch-black chasms of his psyche. A marvelous tale in one long enfusive play.🤘🏼🔥
