1.
I sit with myself and wallow in thought While the past presents before me so hazily I am idle yet adrift in this current Mind sinks deep in melancholic memoires Recall the times of tender joy They should have stayed as perpetual reality
2.
Bar the pressure from entering your head then you can control your soul Don't let panic get a hold of you Keep the substance from controlling you Don't let panic get a hold of you Keep the bottle from possessing you Don't let panic get a hold of you Don't let panic get a hold of you Don't let panic get a hold of you While some others try to usurp you You can keep them out from your own self And while others force upon you You have it in you to defend your life
3.
Soaring the skies at night There is something there And from the clouds The rain starts to pour The winged one Form twists and turns Within the coils Heaven churns It descends from above The trinity, one king The conqueror of worlds Primordial power Soaring the skies at night There is something there And from the clouds The rain starts to pour Soaring the skies at night There is something there And as it descends Burning tendrils burst forth
4.
One great schemer Challengers of the king's gate gather in the barren Hollow Realm 「Hear me, brethren Heed my sooth to bludgeon the unchanging way」 Summon thee, young reaper Aid the balance of words for usurper's vision of the future Is one that destroys worlds' nature One has to face what is hollow And do whatever necessary Many question what surrounds us But only you shall know the answer Go unsheathe your destiny as a true reaper
5.
Fall of the light Bring forth the night The time is here For the empire Carry on the rule of two Between the senate and child who was born from the Force Strikes down enemies As his master bids He was the chosen one Carry on the rule of two Between the senate and child who was born from the Force Light path forsaken Turned dark demon
6.
The Simple 03:09
In those days when you are alone What do you think about? Where, prithee tell, does your mind take you? On your way out, you may see a key That takes you to a realm from the world you truly know Where are you now? Where have you gone? You went out on your own It might be a good time to talk with your friends And ponder the nature of Your dearest dreams It might be a good time to talk with your friends Perhaps let it be known you are there for them

8.
(Silence) Confusion awashed from my mindscapes (Desire) To set my laughter in a land of prosper (But it's too far) Too far for me to go there (Roads closed) Nowhere to go, stuck in my abode 誰もいない (No one is there) 自分のせいが忘れるな (I cannot forget my own fault) 誰もいない (No one is there) 自分のせいが許さないの (I cannot forgive myself) I have to find a way Lest ignorance leads me astray 「許して」あの声で言った (「Forgive」said a voice from yonder) 許してください、あなた (Forgive me, my dear)

about

Memoires des Melancholia serves as the second album of the solo New Asian Black Metal band conjured by the 20-year old Yoo-sook in this period of great uncertainty and reflection. Throughout the creation of this amalgam of notions and eight tracks, paths previously untrodden were travailed upon, thrusting forth an aural onslaught never before attempted by the Far Eastern minstrel.

「Memoires des Melancholia」 embraces the ruthlessness and melancholy of black metal as reflected in its title track while not being blind towards the mystery of modernity and its concoctions of concepts unconceived in the genre's days of yore. Once more, Escapade To Serenity does not fail to devise a union of the sonically polar states of raw, dissonant black metal, aurally and emotionally-assaulting Crystal Lake-inspired metalcore, buzzsaw bubblegum nature of Ramones, and this time, a force of Linkin Park, KoRn, and Girugamesh-inspired aggressive nu metal-- especially in the track 「自制心(Jiseishin / Eng: Self-Control)」; the beauty in their contrasts stay present throughout every second of the album.
Moreover, the album retains a touch of one's fantastic yet coexisting visions of the modern world meshed with the Far Eastern elements in the letters that give breath to the chants, distorted sonic barrage of chaos, thought, and power, and the melodies that evoke a longing of days long past or perhaps one held dear to one's heart and mind, and power over one's destiny.

In the end, it is believed that the album tells of uncertainty and enlightenment, remorse and forgiveness, fantasy and reality in the aural experience like the unyielding nature of light and darkness, disturbance and tranquility, and the beauty in the grim.

Tracklist:
1. Memoires des Melancholia

3. Cosmic Conqueror
4. Sudden Downpour of Heaven's Tears (突然強いの雨が降り出した)
