Sit down on my open palm Warm from the sun I swear we are almost there And there's nothing ahead And we'll fall Silvery, clear and slow As in love And we'll fall Silvery, clear and slow As in love Light steps Walking side by side We'll wait for the lights to go out And we'll fall Silvery, clear and slow As in love And we'll fall Silvery, clear and slow As in love And we'll fall

A note on "The Harvest Of Our Bitter Labours"

The writing and recording originally started around the release of "Losing The Sun" (with the exception of the bonus track "Silvery Clear and Slow" which was written in 2021) and was planned as follow-up release to it.

As the title implies it should conceptualize the strife and struggles of agricultural life of the past as metaphors for the struggles of the human condition and human experience.

Yet it didn't come to pass. Just as unforseen events and unfavourable seasons can destroy the yield of the crop life's cycles put work on the album to a screeching halt. It was a winter of words and all the strings were frozen, so to speak.

But as seasons change perpetually - as within so without - it is now time for you to hold this album in your hands. I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to this glimpse into the past and - even though it is mostly instrumental in nature - can relate to it's implications.

Inevitable
by NONE

supported by 13 fans who also own “The Harvest Of Our Bitter Labours”

《 So many questions 》 — "Rest", Inevitable. NONE. La mort est une épée de Damoclès : elle va tomber et on en a conscience ; on ignore quand et on la redoute. Tel est le thème d'Inevitable. Pour pousser ce concept jusqu'au bout, NONE fait en sorte que ce quatrième album soit à double tranchants. Sur le plan quantitatif, DSBM et dark ambiant sont sur un pied d'égalité : si le premier est toujours aussi dévastateur, le second n'est pas là pour apporter du réconfort. L'incertitude, l'angoisse... Jordan Vauvert

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 13 fans who also own “The Harvest Of Our Bitter Labours”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
