Obstacle of Affliction
What a wonderful release. The vocals are emotional and moving. Song writing as a whole is expertly crafted and performed. This is an excellent doom release that should be heard.

Symbols or The Sleeping Harmony of the World Below
“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself”.
(William Blake)
Symbols are everywhere.
They drag their power from our imagination, weaving a web of secret correspondences between reality and the realm of ideas.
A realm, a world hidden just below the surface, where our deepest desires lie, sleeping.
Symbols represent beliefs, ideals and hopes. They are the insignia under which empires are born and die, gods are worshipped, revolutions explode, kings are consecrated or dethroned.
It has been almost ten years now.A journey which has brought us much further then we thought. We are grateful for everything we experienced along the road, but we feel it's just the beginning of greater things. Three times you've heard our voice before and this is the fourth act of our story.
In the past few years we took a break. We've been crafting sounds, hoping to find the perfect chimera made of our many influences.
We believe this album is that chimera.
These are songs about history, afterlife, revelations, sex, religion, science, magic, war, paradoxes, atoms, myths, dogmas, miracles and wonders.
As metal musicians, we believe it is our duty to inquire the darkest aspects of life, to capture a small hint of the pathos, the beauty and dread of existence.
To plunge into the shady waters of the World Below.

wild years of remorse and failures est un office des ténèbres moderne : à la place des lumières qui s'éteignent au fur et à mesure, ce sont les instruments qui disparaissent et le fait que ce soit une compilation des deux premiers albums de stroszek le met encore plus en évidence. les guitares électriques s'évanouissent, les samples se raréfient, la batterie se calme et la folk s'engage toujours plus dans la voie acoustique. même la voix se fait plus fatiguée, spectrale. beau et hypnotique.
