A Place to Rest

Rain on the ground
And the crowns of the trees
Wind through the leaves
From the highlands
To the sea
Sun twists around
Moon on its way again
Hands to the sky
Begging please
Let me rest
In the stars I can see your eyes
In the dirt I can feel your hands
On my face I can feel your tears
Meandering rivers cut the land
In the wind I can hear your voice
Whispering in my ear so sweetly
I have finally found you again
Carved in the ashes of reality

Last Dream

Daughter, dream last dream
I found you
In the bend next to the river
Cold
At the end of winter
Down the hill from the meadow
And the cliff overlooking the stream
Daughter, dream your last dream
Rest your eyes and your tired body
At peace, cold, in the snow, at the end of winter

Drowning City
07:05
|
|

|
Drowned by the rising sea
One final destiny
One final fate
Beneath the waves
Ancient drowning city
Underwater beauty
Jewel in the sand
Peaceful, silent
Winds of the sea
Mar the city
Sands of time
Sands of time
Recede
Drown the city

You Took Me
08:25
|
|

|
You have took me
Oh, you took me
To the end
To the end
You rise and you fall
The last time you feel alive
You rise and you fall

Sorrowful and grand debut album by funeral doom band VOUNA evokes a devastating and beautiful journey of becoming the last person on earth. Razor sharp tremolo picked guitars cut through the heart like a knife. Mournfully sung vocals and cinematic melodies are combined with crushing doom drums, while layers of primitive 90s digital synths conjure a lush and rugged soundscape.
All music was composed and all instruments performed by Vouna frontwoman Yianna Bekris (previously of Vradiazei, Eigenlicht, and Sadhaka). The music was inspired and influenced by Finnish funeral doom, English masters My Dying Bride, Eastern European black metal, and Greek folk music.
Vouna was recorded entirely at the WITTR studio, Owl Lodge, which is located at the edge of an ancient forest in Olympia, WA. Nathan of WITTR collaborated with Yianna to create the artwork, which mixes archaic Hellenic mythic images with Cascadian atmospheres.

Thrice Woven
by WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOMsupported by 15 fans who also own “Vouna”
Oublier le monde qui se trouve autour de vous, projeter son esprit autre part. Wolves in the Throne Room a toujours eu une façon singulière de nous faire voir les choses sous un autre angle bien plus grand. Thrice Woven part en des temps immémoriaux dans laquelle la Nature est exaltée ("The Old Ones are With Us"), les mythes — nordiques ? — célébrés (qui d'autre que Anna von Hausswolff et sa voix magnifique pour faire ça ?) avec un black metal rapide qui s'inspire de la vague finlandaise.

Atropos
by Vounasupported by 12 fans who also own “Vouna”
That is some "bleak chick" music if I ever heard one. Some aggressive parts and a few snarls and growls. However, doom is king here: Heavy guitars, well orchestrated synths and her pleasant melancholic voice.
