Mother forgive us We have forsaken Condemned and ashed Polluted and poisoned And slaughtered your children A womb once guarded  Now laid to waste, a garden of filth Mother, I seek refuge through what’s left of your womb It hopes to last for generations to come Knowing we’ve failed I accepted this outcome  No tomorrow. Not ever We lost our way In a path of denial  Only to exist with no recollection   Wandering now and wandering after A soulside void not to be filled  An empty vessel lost in twilight Lessons given to those that can hear her cries  Having the means to ease the pain we’ve inflicted  Open wounds never closing  Lesions gaping, bleeding eternally  No tomorrow, not ever.

about

PT-28 Aylwin - The Arch Holder


Aylwin are veterans of nature-centric atmospheric post-black metal, having inaugurated both themselves and the Eternal Warfare Records Festival in the year MMXIII - where they performed alongside such mainstays as Alda, Mania, Hell, Wolvserpent, Murk Rider, Barghest, etc. Despite their urban origins in Whittier, California, they exude an apocalyptic sorrow tempered by melodicism of a decidedly Cascadian flavor, as if Wolves in the Throne Room had collaborated with Ameseours in a Pacific beach cave. 

You may recognize them as a sister band to the death metal project Civerous, which released a split tape with Stygian Obsession on Pacific Threnodies last year. Our 

“The Arch Holder” is a single monolithic track running 30 minutes in length. The journey waxes and wanes in intensity but does not lose cohesion as its winsome elegies to a wounded Mother Earth are expressed.

It is our distinct pleasure to present an edition of 77 professionally-duplicated cassettes, pad-printed in metallic gold on translucent dusky brown tapes, housed in standard Norelco cases with full-color j-cards with art and lyrics, in an outer pouch of black muslin, screenprinted in metallic gold.

Recommended for listeners of Alda, Huldrekall, Sadhaka, Stellar Descent, Twilight Falls, etc.
