I 05:56
I den torrlagda älvfåran är allt förlängesedan dött Blytunga moln kräks över skövlade kalhyggen Igenväxta skogsbilvägar leder ingen vart och sorgen dränks i bottenlösa skogstjärnar

III 04:03
De tomma skyltfönstren bär ett spindelnät av glas Skyltdockornas sönderslagna kranium stirrar tomt och livlöst Gatlyktorna slocknar flimrande, en efter en och allt är dömt att brytas ner

V 04:55
Chocken ligger kvar över nedlagda fabriker Rostiga stängsel burar in de övergivna Stämpelklockan är spetsad av den sista skruvmejseln och i en krossad matdosa ruttnar hungern

about

Öde Verser means ‘Deserted Verses’ in Swedish, and is an apt description of this debut EP from new death industrial project Hexmyr, formed only this year. It’s also a reflection of the physical destruction of the artist’s homeland, especially around the Norrland area, specifically highlighting the devastated forests, abandoned factories, the countryside communities denuded of population, and the after-effects of uranium mining, along with rivers that have been drained, the exile of indigenous peoples, and a consequent rise in the suicide rates. The anger and the hopelessness is in evident abundance here: washes and drones, dark cold winds, frigid, empty, and ruined landscapes all abound, testifying to the destruction of once-thriving communities amidst pristine environments. However, this is not just a lament for the loss of Sweden’s beauty – it is also a damning indictment of the rest of the corporate industrial world, portrayed as an uncaring faceless behemoth hellbent on destroying all in its path in pursuit of profit.
