G.U.C. #24

28Jun2008

Now, this is something else: Pÿlon are featured on a free magazine CD - and with a track recorded exclusively for this occasion, too!

It's called Great Unfathomed Caverns and has a special story in that it is a track recorded without a drummer, but still not with programmed drums: remember that we did a cover of Warmachine by Unleashed? - Well, Matt went in, slashed Tinu's drum tracks apart, put them together anew and wrote some crunchy new riffs.

Furthermore, these are the first stream of consciousness lyrics Pÿlon has used - together with Matt's distorted voice, the whole thing is quite some art brut ... except for the overly sweet keyboards, of course.

To get a low-quality idea of the song, listen to a meagre mp3 of Great Unfathomed Caverns in all its raw splendour here or on myspace.com/pylondoom .

Great Unfathomed Caverns
will not be out on any Pÿlon CD, so in order to "collect 'em all", you'll have to look into getting the German Underground Crossection mag, issue 24! - Especially, because we won't keep the mp3 up for very long!

It's available at the German Underground Crossection website and in the Swiss Metal Mailorder at Quam Libet Records - in buying it here, you're supporting Pÿlon directly.

I look in the pool of the dark and I sink
I sink and i drink of the Lethean waters that wait
Wait and abate all desire to wake e’er again
I sink in these waters and dream
I dream, I scream in silence where waves upon waves come to kill, come to still the last desire to ever motion again from this mist

Death slumber
Dance under the realm of the frost
And the heat
And the sleet
Of the day are soon lost

A myth overpowering, a dampness resounding, exciting pure patience
And the river a pasture, an echo, a dream and a dance through itself and the halls of the night and of slumber
And voices surreal fill in the colours in the gaps of each breath
Whispering violently: “Live, man, and sleep”
“Live, man, and sleep!”

Come, ecstasy
And vex with glee
The stillness that dares yet
To thrive
And to jive

Still life in motion, the shadows recede
Retreat and they lead to the chasms of torpor
Great unfathomed caverns of the deep
Grand underground catacombs of sleep
