Jared Kelley I can’t get enough of Aerial Ruin. Discovered him through the collab with Bell Witch (Stygian Bough Volume 1) and am completely hooked. Can’t say enough good things about these tunes. Buy them all!!!! Favorite track: fable untold.

Xtrmst Sufficiently musically thoughtful to lose oneself in, these songs move from void to void, intermittently passing through glimmerings of autumnal light, alchemically transforming pain into beauty.

… solve – coagula – solve … Favorite track: alter.

I have seen the ashen face that gazed upon the lowest place and knows the reason the past would lead the blind rise above the killing floor know you've seen this place before and know the reason you're cast within the crime time would no more bleed for you and I the blood the seeps the truth would only leave you to silence all your fears I will be the ashen face and call as home the lowest place where only legion will burn the season from the beginning and know the reason the past has led me here

fable untold 05:19
Only to win where lonely the opening led from the sin only to know that severed the broken have led you to grow so never these days and never these eyes would hold all the failure you're led to despise form without body all led astray all that you're seeing is all you'll betray cracks in the wind were towing the broken through skys glowing singe liquid to mourn where drowning the skyward the flame is reborn so never these stains and never these lies would smother the flame you led over the rise born from the struggle alls bled away all that being is all that will say so writhe then vanquish the tomb when given to fall with the edge of this all wither chains of a world that left you too soon the wretch of the fallen the deeper to lie when form becomes chaos and chaos is wonder we'll take the flame past the edge of the sky a test of the chosen in lava of layers would sway and deceive you, illuminate peace through embers of victims and ash of their cares So rest for the broken is stolen from none when all the deception thats ever been kept and has flowered in madness is scattered as one so writhe then vanquish the eye given from needs that so long would deceive you taken from gold that would only deny a claim of the northern led south by the sky would only now hold where the flame would enfold you fable untold as it bled through the nigh So rest for the stolen is broken from none when all the deception thats ever has wept and has flowered in madness is scattered to none

hold beyond, the storm has come it rolls as one to drown the sun it burns where only a shadow was left with a failure that once was a man it sears and only the seconds that flowed as if blood from the battling hand here is the seventh of gates where the severed await if the blackest of fates was your hope and your prayer and so you will sail as a wave to cave in with liquified wings where the vapor will win piercing the veil where the blessed begin here where embracing decay in ascent to the fray is the last that will stray from the earth and her care and so you appear at the edge of the wind with nothing to fear in the ashes of sin a battle to leave in the lowering din here...it burns and sears

with pale 05:04
where I left cold in the wind and I left death in the din so I won’t need to forgive this place for all the fell down and blood on the ground and war in the sky and blood where you lie from chaos held high no stains for no eyes with eyes you’re soon to demise the seconds from lies with pale you’re soon to reveal no more than you feel so I left cold in the wind and I left death in the din so I might need to forgive
5.
nigh the seed nor strain for the living sun born from the need was wrath where the hope was spun fall to knees then lay at the livid floor maul and leave for the dead what the earth would adore if all of the screams would layer the scrolls with red then all that would bleed knew waves as the toll of the dead all that you see would know where the ancient fell mourn for the trees whose roots know the path to avail and on the edge of phase left drifting through the haze your bloods been spilled for days upon the end of maze the self on distant shore where none were led before
6.
as I walk back from this room from the walls of my waiting tomb and back away from deepening bends of the path to my own end and look again through only eyes at what will move neath the chaos rise as I was led to shelter there by the hand of the blood I share somewhere… so you may not be here but through the pale I see you clear where you’re not for blood and fear and the toll of the passing year this was a random sunday song but now its here for all thats wrong and if you wait we’ll all belong to the place you led this song it wont take long… upward gaze and earthen stand quickened eye and shaping hand that you worked between the layers but felt no need to fold in prayer and as I drowned the desert through the kinder hand was wiser too told of more than the lowest pull and pulled me from the lake half-full for all you were...are… are you found on endless plane that you never thought to claim from a window opened wide ascend upon the only glide so you may not be here but I’ll always hold you near till the day that I grow still and find my way to the sky you fill I will

alter 14:05
an altar built in a day would burn to the ground in decay and there in the ashes I’d stay what are they trying to say and let the fever rise the life you would deny the clocks that only fail the hammer and the nail I beg or borrow on low for tomorrow will see this demand rear its head so you will know its only bleeding now take stand to fall over land and sea waves you grow break unseen with nothing left to be deceiving don’t run, don’t hide to pale this side
8.
when finally I’ll arrive past the veil of unknown skies when meaning meets belief then the world will flow from me and all I will erase will be held in your embrace but till then I’ll remain with another ounce of pain so liquid for the lie the less you know the more you’ll try and met with steepening winds from the veil that won’t forgive and all that held betrayal would form the shell that’s born to fail so till then I’ll deceive with another ounce to leave in a home within belief burn the veil so you I’ll see when its only less than me
