lyrics

What does one do when faced with death?
Eye-to-eye with nothingness
Avoidance of the greatest scale
When compared all things will pale

What can one do when bound to fear?
Knowing salvation's nowhere near
Hopelessness is all that's known
When bearing wounds still left unsewn

What does one do when faced with the light?
From a spark burning ever bright
A glow so immense in form
Encompassing a warmth, forlorn

What be the point to turn your back?
Just to face worlds of ever black
To leave behind all that's been made
Into the abyss you'll surely fade

Hiding away from tears
Isolation and emptiness are awaiting with their cold embrace
A grasp so morbidly comforting
With claws digging deeper and deeper
Piercing holes from within, by which your love spills endlessly
Upon desolate soils - places that you've never called home

To abscond the soul
Is to negate your self as whole
An attraction to worthlessness and a yearning for one's own death
Symbols of emergency
Veiled and shrouded in secrecy

Every last breath, closing in on death
Running away can no longer be an option

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 4 fans who also own “Abscond”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 4 fans who also own “Abscond”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
