This is a world of living dead
Soulless walkers numbed
A world of greed and fake
Drowning into the black lake
Of modern great decline
Where humans shine no more
Black clouds are thicker
Horizons are darker
The stabbing of Mother Nature
The blade, deeper and deeper
Into the Earth
Towers everywhere, fortress of greed
The power of gold infecting our breed
Useless human beings, poison of this world
Concrete has gone under our skin
Venom of a grey and cold snake
Die, modern man, you shall rot among rats
Burned inside your own jail
Grinding under your own waste
The stabbing of Mother Nature
The blade, deeper and deeper
Into the Earth
The rape, faster, of this world
" Led by the solid-gold guitar riffs, the vital bass throb, and the acid-bath vocals of Borvos (Languedoc) and backed by the neck-bending drumwork of Ishkar (Abitibi), ADLM have produced another winner. Mid-paced at first, with ringing guitars laced with sinister dissonance, “Where Spirits No More Shine” leaps forward on the back of a bounding drum rhythm, a compelling bass pulse, and slashing, hard-rocking chords that get their gleaming hooks in the head damned fast.
Fronted by scorching shrieks of venomous intensity, there’s a feeling of hellish ecstasy in the music that’s highly contagious. As the drum rhythm pulls back into less pulse-pounding beats, the riffing becomes more menacing, channeling an amalgam of cruelty and lust.
In fact, there’s a carnal quality to the song as a whole, a sensation of heated blood and feral hunger that strikes a primal chord, mixed with the electricity of knives-out demonic menace that even the ringing clarity of the guitars doesn’t disguise.
As noted at the outset, this shot of adrenaline is being paired with a B-side track named “Where Night Shadows Shall Speak“, and we have a stream of it for you too. It provides a fascinating complement to the first song (and reveals that Borvos‘ talents are even greater than you might expect). It translates the melodies of that song through a vibrant, classically influenced acoustic guitar performance. The music is a mesmerizing and mysterious experience that glitters and gleams, but it also increasingly feels like dark menace lurks at the edges — and eventually, powerful percussive thumps and ghastly screams draw out those ominous and frightening elements from the shadows.

Misanthropic poetry against the modern human world. Montreal-based duo led by the guitar riffs and lyrics of Borvos (Languedoc) and the pounding drumming of Ishkar (Abitibi).
