dave_dxb Blackened doom that's been buried deep in a celtic marsh for aeons, Eden Straits evokes something ancient and steeped in mythology on these tracks, conjuring forth the legend of the phantom queen.

One moment quiet and introspective and the next dense and bludgeoning, the tracks are never short of captivating. A truly superb release and I can't wait for the next installment... Favorite track: The Morrigan.

Mothlord blackened folk/post-metal/doom outfit Eden Straights take you on a journey, to claustrophobic, sorrowful depths and soaring, windswept icy peaks.

The Morrigan is rich and dense like honey in it's timbre and musical creativity.
Both unkind and welcoming, it is a familiar foe you can confide within as you are taken to sorrow, loneliness and despondency and then to relief, hope and ascension.

FFO: Year of No Light, Bell Witch, Slow, Shining, Corrupted Favorite track: The Morrigan.

Badb 06:51
With me you’ll no be driven Not like the strays to the hills Now all man is cursed All their children changed To be burnt black as coal As a warmth for widows Change at the ceiling of light Life in exchange of a life A stroke of steal from a feeble arm Could not needle or tear Where sharpened thoughts prevail A dagger used as a key A doorway in blood revealed A way to breach through terras veil The price of sagacity is separation The price of freedom is abandonment The price of knowing is isolation The price of illumination is life Vilomah

The Morrigan 07:00
Rest here with me for all time Drink my milk and bathe your wounds with wine This river is my mother and my home Our bed made of leather and alabaster bone I am the last of my kin Last god of a desolate west I’ll Fill every wound with salt and moss Fill every heart with doubt and fault I am eel, wolf, ox and crow A beauty, a concubine and crone Mine is a barren garden Mine is a place of death I am the last of my kin Last god of a desolate west The last gasp of the departed I’m the battle cry to rally hearts Give every man three fifty silver tongues See that blessings sung can never be undone Give every ounce of strength to me Every charrot, spear and seed of union Give every hymn and whispered prayer Every chalice raised and curse spat on the air A crimson shield A crimson cuirass A crimson ledger A crimson coin My murders coin is carrion My murders coffers never full
