about

“Sleeping Beauty” (Exhumed) is the second single from the 2021 album “S.W.I.M.”.

The recording is a reimagined and sonically transgressed version of an early piece, which can be heard as a raw demo on the band’s debut offering.

The 8-minute long ostinato riff-meditation is painting a morose picture of frost-laden horror - unspeakable, inhuman and unimaginable. Sleeping Beauty’s protagonist is an evil snow maiden borrowed from the book “The Sweetness of your Tender Lips” by the Russian bizarro horror novelist (considered the last true soviet writer) Ilya Masodov.

lyrics

Sleeping Beauty

Born without a face she has teeth
Unable to talk she can bite
Deep into the flesh of the flowering youth
Hard into the bones of the rotting old

Coming like a dusk into land of sunshine
Sleeping beauty never felt warmth
Princess of the cold desolation
Angel with a heart of black snow

Rejoice, evil wizards!
Salute her solemn coming!

Eating is the way of complete acceptance
Every soul she takes finds new home
Absolution through full eradication
Every drop of blood will be turned to stone

Every word will have a new meaning
Every meaning becomes her name
Ringing in the air with a crystal silence
Of a lifeless seclusion

Rejoice, evil wizards!
Solute her solemn coming!

They will see black lakes, stone woods
They will feel black lakes, stone woods, white death…
