Black Snow

All is so calm here
With leafless trees
And the mirror lake
Reflecting all dead faces
Nothing else is here
And it will set us free
We slither down, down
I’ll be the witness here
Of corpses portrayed
In a landscape so pure
With black snow cold on the ground
And it has begun
It’s a tooth so white
Just withers away
A Dreamweaver’s to blame
The passing of all sorrow
And their grief
All is so calm here
With leafless trees
And the mirror lake
Reflecting all dead faces
Nothing else is here
It will make you blush
We slither down, down
I’ll be the witness here
Of corpses portrayed
In a landscape so pure
With black snow cold on the ground
And it has begun

He swallowed the sun that night
He embraced the guilt and shame
Oh breathe in, yeah breathe it out
Gathering storms of forgotten lies
Tearing it all apart
Shattering storms of forgotten lies
Tearing it all apart
He embraced the sound of guilt
He swallowed the lies and shame
Oh breathe in, yeah breathe it out
Gathering storms of forgotten lies
Tearing it all apart
Shattering storms of forgotten lies
Tearing it all apart

Iron Gates

While the dark clouds swings in through your iron gates
And plants the bad seeds and goes away
But what would they say if we brought them back to life
And just sang along
Come ride with us instead
Come ride with us instead
You gaze upon the sculls
Of pets that they used to own
Well it’s effortlessly broken but it takes a century to repair
We all will be betrayed in front of screens
But inside of all the shame
Come ride with us instead
Come ride with us instead
You gaze upon the sculls
Of pets that they used to own

Old gods and the new, burned to the end
Twists the tide awoke
Surrender, through an ocean of unlight
It seems like forever, nothing will shine
Our savior has burned, this shade remain
It comes back to haunt us
Crash down like the rest
Burnt to rise
What once was
Now lays under the shadow of the golden sun
Grasping the last point of light
Surrender, through an ocean of unlight
It seems like forever, nothing will shine
Our savior has burned, this shade remain
It comes back to haunt us
Crash down like the rest
Burnt to rise

Teeth of Glass

Guilt and shame they walk together and they agree
They agree to believe in her voice and in her ghost
And they are moved by the colors here
But cannot find their way home
In the dive beneath the layers of guilt and shame
A faceless child with teeth of glass
It is here it all begins
And I stay down
Cause the water ain´t deep enough for me to drown
Guilt and shame they walk together and they agree
And their calmness remains by chasing all the fading lights
While these dreams make way here
They just cannot reach the end
In the dive through all the layers of guilt and shame
Oh they see it here yes
A faceless child with teeth of glass
It is here it all begins
And I stay down
Cause the water ain´t deep enough for me to drown
And they are moved by the colors here but cannot find their way home
In the dive beneath the layers of guilt and shame
And the water ain´t deep enough for me to drown
A faceless child with teeth of glass
It is here it all begins
And I stay down
Cause the water ain´t deep enough for me to drown

House of Bones

It’s a skeletal darkness in a house full of them bones
It is a bleak and heartbroken leaf here
That shivers when it comes
And with broken limbs you just keep getting older here everyday
And the sunshine feels like a blunt knife, carving through your face
But all is forgiven here, all has been saved
Those you have left behind, all has been saved
This is the end and the beginning
It is a whisper in a house full of bones
This is the end and the beginning
It is a whisper in a house full of bones
It is a whisper in a house full of bones
It’s a skeletal darkness in a house full of them bones
And it is a bleak and heartbroken leaf here
That shivers when it comes
And with broken limbs you just keep getting older here everyday
And the sunshine feels like a blunt knife, carving through your face
And there are chambers here with marble floors beneath your feet
And there are rooms with blood-stained walls
This house is crumbling down as I speak
As I speak all the bones, they cry
But all is forgiven here, all is betrayed
This is the end and the beginning
It is a whisper in a house full of bones

Rat King

Watch them now, together as one, moving around
Minds set up, intertwined as one and out of reach
A simple truth at its core, a twisted lie
A bottomless pit filled with hope, gathered as one
A simple truth at its core, a twisted lie
A Twisted lie, interwinding truth, moving around
Moving shapes of guilt and disease, gathered as one
The minds set up, intertwined as one and out of reach
All these rats they try to find a purpose
Seeking light in the void
They all thought they had a purpose
Drowning inside the night

about
Dystopia, now: Orochen blends music and art in their haunting debut concept album, Anthroposcenic
With deeply poetic, evocative lyrics against a soundscape that blends elements of dark folk, post-rock, and black metal, Anthroposcenic meets the sadness of the dystopia we’re building with a steady gaze.
Over the course of 8 songs, Anthroposcenic tells the story of a world plunging further into individualism, isolationism, and consumerism, where the few who attempt to do things for the greater good eventually get trapped in the viscoid webs of the capitalist machine. The album deals with questions about humankind’s existence, our moral compass, how we live in relation to the environment and the psychological effects of living in a consumption-first society.
The title of the album, Anthroposcenic, is a call to contemplation about our current state of affairs. It has been suggested that the very last part of the current geological period should be called Anthropocene due to humankinds extensive impact on Earth's ecosystems and geology.
But Orochen is not stopping at sound. To amplify the messages of the album, the band has collaborated with four celebrated Swedish photographers — Pelle Ossler, Johannes Berner, Niklas Lövgren & Christian Thunarf — to pair an original image or “scene” with each song.
The album will be released in the form of 300 exclusive, hand-numbered copies on transparent vinyl where all of the artwork will be printed on inner sleeves and inserts, making it possible to choose the preferred cover through a slide-in window on the front cover.
Anthroposcenic is a natural musical development from Orochen’s latest EP, Thylacine, and explores some new terrain while maintaining the band’s emerging trademarks. On the album, you will hear some guest performances from Jonas Stålhammar (At the Gates) on mellotron and Nine (Wormwood) on vocals.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 8 fans who also own “Anthroposcenic”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
