Evergreen I am blown away by this album. The textures, the melodies, the atmosphere... this album really takes you into uncharted territories in this wildly refreshing way yet still holds true to Conqueror’s Mourn’s depressive sound. Absolutely phenomenal album.

about

The Final Work of Conqueror's Mourn.

Death, the inescapable.
Death, whose name is celebrated with his back turned, but whose name is cursed as he approaches. But if Death should make you a promise, you can be certain he will keep it.

In a season where the smell of blood hangs thick in the air, the Void Dweller seeks help to meet his high demand.

And there she is, face flushed, in the height of her battletrance. In the last hour she has sent him one hundred souls, and her armor contains stains and flecks of them all. It is a battle the likes of which Death rarely sees face to face - but she is experienced, breathing slowly through it despite enemies coming at her from all sides. She lives for all this, as did generations of her forebears, yet the weariness is visible on her face. Yes, thinks Death, she'll do.

She was aware of the sword coming toward her head, and she had contemplated, as she sometimes did, letting it land. But Death chose that moment to freeze time, to address her, to take her to the abyss. She had only a moment to look back, to see her would-be killer fall forward into empty space and onto his own blade. She smiled for the first time in a decade.

Death made her an offer. Collect for him, live underground. Bathe in the waterfall. There would be no battles. No deaths by her own hand. Her name would be cursed by those unwilling to accept their fate - that was nothing new. Many would struggle mightily. Some would resist, some would flee. Some would simply take her hand and walk with her. They would all have to accompany her to the abyss one way or another. It would be bleak work - but it would be finite. There would be no honor in it, no songs praising her deeds. She would be no more for the battletrance. But a decade of that work and she would be granted solace.

Death did not expect her to agree so quickly.

_________

Conqueror's Mourn has channeled the depths of its creator's depression and the weariness of life's inevitable struggles into musical form. Utilizing grand piano and a library of self-recorded samples distorted and stretched to almost mock their source, this project has looked at life through a crooked lens, and occasionally found glimpses of peace therein.

about

Conqueror's Mourn

In the time before death, every voice sounds the same

Every agonized breath, every choked cry of pain

Brought on by the flashes of menacing light

Or the whispers on winds that accompany night,

To die from a spell is no great source of pride

but sometimes the shame of just being alive

Is too great for your battle drunk mind to withstand -

So when death reaches for you, you smile at its hand ... more

Through The Vale
by Wayfarer

This project is really wonderful in its ability to be warm and enveloping even when describing an alienating landscape. The label roster is a nice display of hallucinatory, sometimes decaying DS. Conqueror's Mourn

Return to the Palace of Mirrors
by Abandoned Places

Towering, unrelenting dungeon music with the ability to manipulate time. This project's use of crude sounds and glacial speeds is inspiring. Conqueror's Mourn

Vedurnan

supported by 47 fans who also own “No More for the Battletrance”

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127
