Leviathan - Unfailing Fall Into Naught

taken from the 2004 xasthur leviathan split
buy it when you like it

[@EnigmaticOranmentV6]

I encourage who hasn't already seen the documentary One Metal Man should give it a watch. It's about Leviathan, Xasthur and Striborg's life! It gives you an perspective on just how sad this music really is

[@danielbriano3659]

Este tema lo escucho cuando caigo en ese momento de soledad, cuando te sientes tan solo y que no hay solución ni vuelta atrás. Es tan oscuro y tranquilizante.

[@Tha3rdworldghost]

​@@danielbriano3659This sort of music reminds us that we aren't alone. This sort of music also leads one towards self destructive and reckless behavior. Much love from New Zealand!!!

[@skullhead4003]

Thanks mate , i going to watch it now

[@ampuhaukka6799]

That ending is one of the most amazing pieces of music i have ever heard

I dont care what they are saying. Its how it makes me feel. Like perseverance through the dawn of pain. Like surviving another day through hell. So much pain. So hard to move on.

And the bass! In a black metal song of all things.

[@thehilaryglow]

good black metal brings out the emotions in you in a way you don't need drugs to capture its true meaning and enjoy it.

[@Tha3rdworldghost]

listening to music sober is great but it's even better when you are lost in the clouds.

You clearly havent done heroin to leviathan. Life changing.

[@therealWilytank]

I love the beautiful ambient part at the end. It's like I'm actually falling into naught.

Intro and ending is the best part of the song.

True! This is another dimension!

@@danielbriano3659I wonder if the OG comment still comes back after 13 years

[@LardGargantuus]

This is some really incredible stuff. Hasn't aged at all and the synth portion is deeply moving. Very inspired music by any metric.

One of the first BM songs I heard back in 2015

[@luisfelipevalerogil2892]

At the end you can feel that all the things that you hated in the earth finally has a perpetual peace with death.

[@NostalgicDays88]

Wrest is a genius!

[@pereira6202]

love Leviathan............grim as fucking hell

[@abigaillemonparty6607]

Grim as fuck.

[@A-CIM]

The atmosphere at the end of track is insanely good. You can feel getting lost in its dark essence. It’s similar to “Submersed” from Tenth level.

[@ImpenetrableDark18]

For anyone who enjoys Leviathan, Xasthur, Striborg, Nortt, Drudkh, Forgotten Tomb, or other depressive/atmospheric bands. I have self recorded a DSBM/atmospheric album. Truly depressive, truly underground. Utter Blackness - What Could Have Been

[@yesacwerdna]

[@BringerOfTruth123]

I just remembered this band from like seven years ago. They were on some century media compilation that came with my immortal cd.

[@MusicOfDestruction]

umm no he wasnt dude... sorry

[@velipyr]

@Music Of Destruction kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHSzn6tng6-WiMU Hissing and sullen is a rare and very underrated track.

[@angramainyu335]

Amazing cold harsh dark melancholy. Winds of despair. Oneness with naught. Have to point out the nice memorable riffs as well.

[@BLUTSERV]

Gets my right in the pit of my heart.

[@markp1881]

So fucking good.

[@trevorserra2207]

An awesome song by an awesome band. You know that with a name like Leviathan, you'd expect a lot, and it's certainly not a disappoint here. |m| Leviathan |m|

[@russiachan2]

One of my favorite songs from Wrest

[@shawnc318]

i immediately knew this was a special track...its nice to know lots agree with me

[@SpergerKing]

Xasthur's vocals can be grating, although I think that's on purpose, but it's easy to immerse yourself in the atmosphere created. Check out Xasthur's cover of "The Cold Earth Slept Below". As for other bands, I recommend Lurker of Chalice, Antagonic Omnipotent Catharsis, Blut Aus Nord, Ash Borer, and there were a lot of other good recommendations down in the comments section.

[@rachskald]

Well, it's not like Wrest usually doesn't sound like a tortured pig (and I mean that as a compliment), but it never bothered me with Xasthur or Leviathan, it just fits like a glove. And that recording of Malefic screaming his lungs out with Nachtmystium live is absolutely fantastic.

[@danieltsui3129]

he uses his heart to write this song

[@Shizzlmadizzl]

you should check out xasthur's album "telepathic with the deceased" and immerse yourself in it. it should be uploaded somewhere on youtube....but i recommend buying!

[@joranvandersluis]

also masterpiece from levi, doesnt everybody think?

[@Kasparow]

beautiful song

[@vorguus]

beautiful

[@Tha3rdworldghost]

my favorite song by this band so far

[@bert-janbiesheuvel6654]

Anyone figured out the lyrics? This here song is like the anthem of my life. This is as far as I've come: (I?) we fall into nothing and she isn't there. another experiment another obsession, another piece. is it in place? blood collection, cuts for the sake of time, their eyes find me. again behind the black glass, another experiment another obsession, another piece. is it in place? blood collection, cutting me for the sake of shame, she begins another act. vomiting a certain tone, we aren't falling, again. the willing fool, and the probe(?)

[@voidahl1667]

I can barely make out a word, good job though

[@voidahl1667]

I reran it through and here is what I think the complete lyrics are: I fall into nothing and she isn't there Another experiment, another obsession Is it in place? Another piece, Blood Collection Cutting me for the sake of shame she begins another act vomiting a certain tone we aren't unfailing again unfailing fall into naught Basically the same with minor edits and deletions.

[@ImmortalOnenesss]

Dopeness

[@dylanroemmele906]

doubt it's blood collection but otherwise seems spot on

[@coldvoid7579]

The keys and vocals are so fucking eerie! And the mix is superb.

[@angelicbaby92]

Wow. This guy is a one person band and . . how the hell does he do it?!

[@MusicOfDestruction]

he records everything separately and then tracks it and mixes it all together

[@bethezda564]

Jef Whitehead played in punk as well as math rock bands in his earlier days which gave him a wider creative outlook than someone who would just start with black metal only, hence why his music sounds unique because its a culmination of how he plays different genres appropiated into Black Metal. Your capability to write and create strengthens heavily if you explore multiple ways of doing so

[@justinsobscuremetalchannel4265]

This is very therapeutic.

[@JamesHornsbyMusic]

[@christianj555]

i never really liked black metal it was the on genre of metal that i honestly thought was trash, but for some reason i decided to give it another chance, and this song... has so much beauty its overwhelming

[@dylanroemmele906]

The number one rule of Black Metal is that i98n Black Metal no matter what you will have something you will not just like but love.

[@MetalicSlayer666]

psychedelic is actually pretty good in comparison to other kinds of music out there and its my second favorite after metal . Its structure and complexity kinda reminds me of technical metal stuff which i love.The other reason why its my 2nd favorite music is cause it sounds totally different when u are on any kind of drugs or weed and when u are sober.Its a music designed for that kind of experiences and its propably the best music when u want to see and hear everything different than normal :)

[@piercejamar9113]

absolutely, black metal just takes you to another realm, i dont even download metal without paying because the experience is worth the money, and i know how hard it is to construct a soulful song

[@SpergerKing]

Yeah, I was just listening to Tortured by Solitude in my car this morning. Also, I usually recommend Escape for people that aren't really into metal. Haven't really paid much attention to Thy Light but if the music is "nice"
