nore the vibe, the lyrics, the whole atmosphere.
this album accompanied me through a very difficult time and I'm thankful for it making this record one of my all time favourites. Favorite track: The Garden.

porcelainheart- The vocals say DSBM. The drums say black metal/blackgaze. The guitars say post-rock. Somehow a combination of all three. I've never heard anything like this. FFO Sadness, Giles Corey and Woods of Desolation. Favorite track: My Misery is Carved Into the Flesh of This World.

Luke My interest was definitely piqued seeing Mineral mentioned. I find most "shoe/blackgaze" interminably dull, but this manages to steer clear of the major pitfalls. Plenty of leaning into dsbm (good) and a heady dose of the aforementioned late '90s emo (great), with hints of Have a Nice Life and the more interesting heavy 'gaze-adjacent projects. I'd like it to be longer.

NorthwoodsBrewer502 If mineral reformed yet again, but as a post black metal band.
This is glorious and beautiful. Buy this if you like emotional , melodic music of any kind .

I am a match You are a fire Cold as the air I breathe Tragedy Always burning out Tired, sleepless moons Regardless I’ll die soon Natural causes or turned to ash Sever the limbs that clutch the earth I’ll die like the animal I am Pick at the scabs of frozen flesh I’ll die in the cold with empty hands All my life I have felt the hunger swell All my days of solitude have built this constant hell My misery is carved into the flesh For all to watch and mock relentlessly My days are numbered and counting down I am not carrying the love you need I am a match You are a fire Cold as the air I breathe Tragedy Always burning out Tired, sleepless moons Regardless I’ll die soon Natural causes or turned to ash All my life I have felt the hunger swell All my days of solitude have built this constant hell

The Garden 06:20
I wanted to plant a garden Fill the dirt with my bones Watch as the stars flee above me But I was buried beneath I see the scars on my arm They remind me of home In the room where I cut off my limbs I was carried into the wind So I’ll plant a garden Fill the dirt with my bones Watch as the stars flee above me But I was buried beneath I see the scars on my arm They remind me of home In the room where I cut off my limbs I was carried into the wind I starve as my misery Is the only thing that grows I die as my loved ones Stare with an empty expression The winter is always this cold That’s what I tell myself I can’t bare this face That always looks like it’s getting older And will I regress If my life doesn’t turn out right Is there any chance of Ending it all in one night

In Blood 08:12
I was caught in the current An undertow of pain Limping through each day Each limb was dead Frostbitten skin When my veins Were emptied in the snow No one knew how deep the cold crept in The sun burned day by day And they stood in the shade All that's left is a contract written in blood Signing away remaining days

My heart can’t be Measured in scripture I don’t believe Is this all I am to you? The demon that obscures your view There is no love In the words you read It’s conditional And always will be The help I need Is not found on a page The love I could receive Is built on fallacy My heart can’t be Measured in scripture I don’t believe Is this all I am to you? The demon that obscures your view

Salem 05:58
There is nothing more you can say to Bring me closure for the love that you refuse Something’s wrong with me That always what you mean When you tell me that you pray for me To kill the roots of the pain that’s haunting I know I never was the person You wanted me to be I am not the man I wanted to be I have always felt like the black sheep

In 2016, I started a new one-man DSBM band called “Isleptonthemoon” as a side project to Wounds of Recollection. It was meant to be an outlet for total creative freedom with less pressure to make perfect every minuscule detail while Wounds continued to be more focused and higher pressure. After one EP and one full-length in 2017, Isleptonthemoon was shelved indefinitely although I secretly attempted to revive it many, many times. My mindset of carefree songwriting had started to vanish as I put more and more pressure on myself to make Wounds of Recollection technically perfect.

After 5 years, I found the joy in this project again. "My Misery is Carved Into the Flesh of This World" is the sophomore full-length from Isleptonthemoon. It’s primarily DSBM and blackgaze with elements from indie folk and slowcore. Fans of Ghost Bath, Sadness, None, Planning for Burial, Have a Nice Life, or Mount Eerie might find something they enjoy here.
