The modern hurt. Clash in time. Arise. Reborn in fire. Final separation. To go under. Triumph of Sadness. Self-chosen ordeal. Dreaming in despair. Arise. Reborn in fire. Again and again. Arise.
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
The complex brutality of Valborg never gets boring. I also need to point out how unique and genius their lyrics are, hitting the core of all important questions; I would label those 'meaningful Dadaism'. Their music reaches out to hidden dimensions within us, you can't shake off the feeling that songs like 'Nahtod', 'Nonnenstern' or 'Vakuum' leave you with. I feel deeply known and deeply lost at the same time. Entleiber
Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world.
This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms.
