Tail-Tied Hearts

trainh13 That voice tho. What a great record. Spooky, groovy, retro, and compelling in all the right ways. Lots of noise for a three piece, and really mature songwriting already. But yeah, the vocals are the real star of the show. Brvtal shrieks and ghostly cleans, my favorite combo. Favorite track: The Sea.

1.	Glow 02:43	lyrics
We only have white dreams for a long time ago All other colors and shades are covered in snow Long time ago we are blinded from such whiteness glow We’ll see the light from the black strip of floor
2.	Through The Dense Woods 04:34	lyrics	buy track
Crawling bugs along the spine You feel them, that’s what you’re think Wolf howl in the ears and webs in hair Slobbering mouth of fear exuding stink Through the dense woods Woven branches are a funeral wreath Through the dense woods Predatory suspense exposes teeth There’s a devil on your shoulder You look through his horns Pointless to run away from demons You wear your fears like a crown of thorns Through the dense woods Run run run don't turn around Through the dense woods cover yourself, lie on the bottom down Through the dense woods close in yourself, but it does not help Through the dense woods There you will be alone with your fears
3.	Solitude 05:45	lyrics
Everyone Has their own Thoughts alone Dreaming alone Suffering alone Tumbleweed, rolling stone To be alone is foregone Light of the day Doesn’t give mirth Dark of the night Does not rest Sun rays expose Hidden wounds Under the moon bloom Mournful thoughts By day — locust devour At night — camel spiders on a prowl By day — sizzling heat At night — howling wind
4.	Wooden Heart 05:47	lyrics
Cut your heart and throw it Into the sea abyss Waves wash away this sadness About what not to return If you find a heart on the shore Please don’t take it in any way Wooden heart of maiden Will bring you only suffering Maiden wooden heart Tear yourself apart Bell ringing from the bottom Will say - the maiden is close Beautiful as Aphrodite Awful as Leviathan Dreams are ruined temples At the bottom of rotten sea What the foam does not swallow The maiden wooden heart
5.	Mouth of Darkness 06:38	lyrics
Watch the shadows lengthen When the day dies Listen to them whispering Standing at the door Moon hid behind the clouds The endless night has come When the filth touched the world There is no peace In the fermented soil Astride on a Nightgaunt Flying over black forest spiers Exposing fangs daggers Through the mouth of darkness! Listen to the endless Darkness of the gates of sunset Voices of nightjars are calling Put on the pale mask Moon hid behind the clouds Their time has come When the filth touched the world Rushing as a bloody whirlwind Sowing the seed of great desolation Over the black cities spiers Exposing fangs daggers Through the mouth of darkness! We see you! When the filth touched the world Into the raging waters of chaos There was a deafening cry The gates are opened eternally Exposing fangs daggers In the mouth of darkness! We see you!
6.	Fall 05:28	lyrics
What about the clouds What about those grey rainy days Bare branches look Into the muddy surface of lakes This came autumn farewell grace This is dreary mood This is grievous leaden twilight Splinters of summer quietly fell Of the woods Winter sneaks under cloud of night Birds interrupted their songs They are changed by the cry of the wind Leaves repeat their last dance Drops are tumbling on the glass All around is dying
7.	Sanctuary 05:45	lyrics
Sail on the forgotten waters In places that have never been Run through endless hazy fields When two moons shine in the welkin Away Your path Through the gate Through the time Through the death In the misty noise reflection You will see his outlines What were once so beautiful Now infinitely defiled They took my breath They took my eyes They took my name Nothingness The dream once seen In a locked room Until voice Until word Until death Until the end of time My dreams are poisoned By endless nightmares Unnamed beasts Columns of Gloom Temple of Carrion Awake
8.	The Sea 09:13	lyrics
What do you dream What do you think The sea, boundless yonder of waves Just one doubt or Just one wrong move The sea will dissolve Us ‘till nothing remains When young rosy fingered Dawn appeared Our fate has come The cunning and powerful Daughter of Atlas Implore you let us go home Wanderers follow the sea Where it’s meeting the sky The sea knows no mercy Knows no force than it’s own below us is the land of ships Above is the cradle of storms Still coast was tiresome and now only waves and swarms The cunning and powerful Goddess Calypso Who will not let us go home

about

DUNWICH are a power-trio hailing from Russia, and are one of the most unique and exciting bands CALIGARI has come across in recent years. The label is absolutely thrilled to be unveiling the band's very first recording, a fully realized full-length bearing the enigmatic title Tail-Tied Hearts.

As a trio, DUNWICH are undoubtedly a sum of their three parts. To understand the background of each member, given the circumstances for so many calling Russia home, is to more fully understand DUNWICH the band.

Frontwoman Margarita Dunwich is not only the band's voice and style; her life consists of heavy music and dark aesthetics. She often advocates style, particularly the influence of her father, who grew up behind the Iron Curtain and picked up new hard rock releases when it was extremely difficult to do so.

Guitarist/organist Anton Bronikov was born into a musical family and, since childhood, attended music school. As an informal teenager in a quiet southern Russian town, he began to appreciate music not only for rebellion but also for drive.

Drummer Mikhail Markelov connected himself rather late with the world of music: he sat down on drums for the first time after leaving school. Self-taught, he learned to play diverse styles by accepting the fact that good music is not always associated with genre.

Together, DUNWICH is an attempt to dive into the bottomless ocean of your emotions. This is an unexpected call in the desert of your consciousness. This is a walk through the dark forest of your mind. DUNWICH's goal is to make you look into the abyss of your thoughts. They want to remind you of what you diligently avoid every day; your emotions will say everything for them.

To pinpoint the peculiar magick of Tail-Tied Hearts is to undermine DUNWICH's boundary-free artistry. Surely, there exist frayed threads of doom, prog, darkwave, black metal, post-punk, and plenty of other orbiting points across and around. But more accurately, each of the eight component songs comprising Tail-Tied Hearts exists as its own world, its own experience, yet all worlds/experiences tied into a greater whole - a much, much greater WHOLE, and one that's as devouring as it is liberating. And therein lies the paradoxical beauty of DUNWICH...

Words fail to do this justice. Hearing is believing, and believing is immersing. DUNWICH dare you to enter their Tail-Tied Hearts.

It's been ages since a band has truly blown my mind!! Honestly, I didn't know much about them until a few months ago, after their live performance was a revelation, they catapulted my mind to another world. Hope to see them live again soon and can't fucking wait some new stuff! dariocirillomusic

Upon recently discovering Wayfarer through this album, they have immediately become a top contender for my favorite metal band, alongside Watain and Zeal & Ardor. Absolutely stunning album through and through. As the young’ns might say, it’s a vibe. erunion

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
