josedenoche With a harrowing vision of disdain and melancholy, BVC has embellished in Dysphoria the poetic beauty of 7 literal meanings to define the unbearable burdens of Anxiety in which the melodies serves as mirrors of our darkened emotions surrounded in the shrouds of sadness and apathy. Let this LP serves as a window to see through our soul and be aware that no matter how hard life is, we are not alone, and never fear to speak your heart out with your love ones. Favorite track: Weltschmerz.

zeppinator An amazing reflection on regret, sorrow and even grief. For me "avenoir" was the best track with a great mix between melodic and black metal elements. Each song feels a bit different and the song length is just right (not to short but also does not drag)
definitely recommend this album 🤟 Favorite track: Avenoir.

Leland Sage Melodic black metal with elements of death metal and symphonic passages, this album has excellent production and dynamics. The lyrical themes are also interesting and fit perfectly with the tone of the music.

Lítost 07:44
LÍTOST (n.) a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery Something inside of me broke again But this time it's permanent Crippled from within, no recovery for me Extrasystolic pulses beat arrythmically Syncopation of the heart Face to face with my misery Dysautonomic forces pull me under Like a storm of blood and thunder Agony, agony with me Going back through memory lane That decision is what drove me insane To consume or not to consume I chose wrong...

L’APPEL DU VIDE (n.) lit. “the call of the void”; the instinctive urge to jump from high places, especially when one is close to the edge of a cliff or building. Having self-destructive thoughts for a split-second. Have you ever felt the need to jump off a cliff when you’re standing near the edge? Have you ever felt the need to hurt yourself even if you’ve made your pledge? I have felt it many times and I enjoy it plenty Can you read between the lines or is your life just empty? Hear the call of the void Have you ever felt the need to kill someone else? It’s as easy as it sounds You’ll just have to take that tiny little first step Turn your world into a battleground Feel the void possessing you The energy within Dark and cold, shivering your skin Give up and you’ll feel it too Hear the call of the void Bow down before me, take your oath Let yourself sink into the void
3.
Weltschmerz 04:54
WELTSCHMERZ (n.) mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state inside one’s mind. I feel sorrow for the world that I have in my head When compared to the real one Glimpses of my life swirling into my mind Spiral of thoughts that goes nowhere Shows me what I’ve left behind Regret, anxiety, my good friends tonight The yellow leaves of my desires Falling into the winter of my empty soul All the gold I have ever touched Turns slowly into coal In the vast wasteland of my memories Lies a remembrance of better times But in the mirror, all that I see Is there’s no change in the paradigm I think it’s due time to realize I have done nothing but wasted my youth For my own sake I need to accept There’s nothing that hurts more than the truth Weltschmerz Weltschmerz Weltschmerz Sorrow for the World Weltschmerz Weltschmerz Weltschmerz Sorrow for the World
4.
тоска 02:29
тоска (n.) a dull ache of the soul, a sick pinning, a spiritual anguish, a longing with nothing to long for. Instrumental
5.
TORSCHLUSSPANIK (n.) lit. “gate-closing panic”; a sense of fear and anxiety caused by the feeling that life’s opportunities are passing by and diminishing as one ages. Time is a ruthless killer It’s always stalking me When I was born, I pulled the trigger And the bullet’s been roaming free But now I feel its frozen breath Getting closer every day All the opportunities are gone like my health I get older and decay I feel I’m drowning fast I sense my prime has passed I chose to remain trapped I see no bright forecast Torschlusspanik Life’s become a freefall No parachute in sight And it’s too late to hear my dreams call I’ll embrace my eternal night Father time, I need more time To build my legacy Need to do so much before the final bell’s chime Reveal my supremacy I feel I’m drowning fast I sense my prime has passed I chose to remain trapped I see no bright forecast Torschlusspanik
6.
Avenoir 06:44
AVENOIR (n.) The desire that memory could flow backward. You move as a rower moves, facing backward. It’s hard not to wonder what life would be like facing the other way… The future is nothing but a consequence of my mistakes The past is something else I’m too ashamed to bite that snake If only I could go back and depart There are so many things I’d change But sadly, I’m too far away from the start Oh, how I wish for a blank page I’m doomed to keep rowing this forsaken boat Through the river of tears and pain Always facing backwards like a blind man With no compass, lost in the rain So many times, my redemption: denied There’s no point trying out again Every sip of water tastes like cyanide Going on seems so inhumane
7.
Kenopsia 08:36
KENOPSIA (n.) The eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet. Walking through the shadows The alleys are so empty Images of the gallows The atmosphere feels so deadly In this otherwise joyful place It’s now stripped of all its grace There’s no life left for me to chase There’s no future left to deface Every step brings closer to death How long before my last breath Omens carried out by the mist Wonder if I’ll ever be missed What to feel Poisoned air What to think Kenopsia everywhere All of this seems so familiar Think I’ve been here before Each time I look through the mirror The deeper I fall Sad truth I need to embrace I can finally see This eerie, grim, forlorn place It was born within me

about

Black Void Cult's Debut. This is an Atmospheric/Melodic/Depressive Black Metal Album with symphonic influences that revolves around a simple concept: Sorrow, and the words that exist in different languages and cultures to describe it. Sometimes it is a particular kind of sorrow, applied only to specific moments or feelings, and a lot of these words don't have English translation.
