E cominciarono a cadere
su commesse trendy attonite e negozi esterrefatti,
punti sisal lottomatica e etilisti circostanti...
E cominciarono a cadere
e a travolgere di idrogeno la noia e la paura
senza centro senza orbita le stelle ad una ad una.
In un boato accecante e sublime,
sorpresi nel sonno o sul cesso a pulirsi il culo,
senza il tempo per l’ultimo bacio,
l’ultima sigaretta, la prima confessione;
Senza il tempo di scendere a Roma
e togliersi qualche soddisfazione!
In un boato accecante e sublime...
Nam Thessala rura
cum peterent, totus venientibus obstitit aether
adversasque faces inmensoque igne columnas
et trabibus mixtis avidos typhonas aquarum
detulit atque oculos ingesto fulgure clausit.
Luc. VII, 153-157
Tre giorni di buio, tre giorni di luce.

And they began to fall
on austounded trendy salesgirls and astonished stores,
on sisal lottomatica betting shops and surrounding alcoholics...
And they began to fall
and swamp with hydrogen the boredom and the fear
without center, without orbit, the stars one by one.
In a blinding and sublime rumble,
caught while sleeping or on the toilet wiping our asses,
with no time for the last kiss,
the last cigarette, the first confession;
with no time time to go down to Rome
and give ourselves some satisfaction!
In a blinding and sublime rumble...
When the army made for Thessaly,
the whole sky set itself against their march:
it hurled down meteors in their faces, and huge columns of fire,
and whirlwinds that suck up water, together with fireballs;
it dashed lightning at them and so closed their eyes.

More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2023
