I put this record on when I'm sad. Every time. I close my eyes as I run at the gym and Invision myself running through the forest, feeling the moss and damp air, hearing the branches brush and snap. I definitely fall into a meditation state. This album is so damn powerful and my connection to it is eternal.

[@silbert0231]

This music... makes me feel like a worm on the ground of the forest, staring up into the last rays of sunshine as the heavy raindrops start to fall... I know I should stay underneath in the earth, but I need to see this sunshine, I need to feel this rain to remind myself I'm alive... a murder of crows passes by, they could kill me in a second, but they haven't noticed me, and for a frail second, I am once more reminded of the fragility of my own life... in this distance, thunder begins to growl... Great music!^^

I’m not really compelled often to comment on videos, but I cannot ignore how this album, upon more and more subsequent listens, exudes a certain beauty underneath that is only appreciated if you take the time to endure its abrasion.

For me this one is best for deep thinking and reflection on my depression. The album I use to cry is Austere To lay like old ashes. This Dreadful Emptiness gets me every time.

I'm still alive because of it and I'll be forever grateful to Austere for the masterpiece

@@erdyerdnusss it's how fast the record is spinning. Different sizes have different rpm, some slower some faster. It's usually the size of the record that determines the rpm but some records are set differently. There's always a switch or lever that sets the rpm on most record players.

Because it talks about taboo topics? 😂 Maybe? I don't really imagine any of these songs (except for the outro song) played on a radio, or becoming TikTokized. There has been an uprising popularity of black metal over any other style of metal (it started having the most bands since the beginning of the millenium). I really believe black metal should stay underground 'til death. Especially considerating all the factors that may have been a reason for its popularity with stupid fashions like "being depressed" or "mentally ill" all the time.
