[@zachariahhanson1792]

What's the concept though? Maybe "maximum doom". I'm curious about the ethos of doom because while I like the genre, feeling foreboding can really suck. That vacuum of parched desolation is a place that's not worth going. Guess doom is a genre that deals with the whole issue.

39:00 "We departed on Sunday the 27th of March 1628, from Acapulco port at 8:00 a.m. They kept their belly day and night for more than 30 leagues to the west. They sailed for more than a thousand leagues without seeing Jaguar Island. A lot of wind every day without stopping moved the ships to the south west. They found four islands, that had never been seen before. The weather felt more cold than it should be. The crew is restless. We kept going to the south and they could not change direction. For five nights we woke up covered in sweat, the vivid death dreams are very real. A voice repeats, "you have to kill them!". It's not our God's voice, I'm sure about that. The voice guides me: I know my destiny, I know your destiny. The offering will be delivered. One more moon and they will be yours... Then the song starts. Just a rough translation, my Colombian partner translated and said it's a difficult olden days accent to understand. Such a cool album!!!
