Doom ist die Musik des Zerfalls, des Verlusts, der Trauer,
der Depression.
Das Leben ist ein Rad der konstanten Annäherung an ein
körperliches Ende. Ein herrlicher Nährgrund also, um sich
dem Doom hinzugeben.
Doom: decay, loss, sorrow, ennui, depression, suicide
Life: the wheel of continuous approximation to corporeal
termination. A grand soil, hence, to indulge in the depths
of doom.
