The Wound and the Bow

by Geryon

supported by
Giles

Giles Endless hypnotic development of mind-bendingly complex bass and intensely attentive drums. With no guitars there is a constant tension that something is missing, yet there is so much to listen to that there really isn't. A unique experiment that I love more and more every time round. Favorite track: Dawn.

Tolujin This has gotten some pretty negative press from reviewers who've found it impossible to avoid comparisons with McMaster & Weinsten's other work and/or other two-piece metal acts. It probably hasn't helped that Geryon's eponymous debut was a more straightforward "death metal without guitars" experiment. The Wound and the Bow is more meditative and impressionistic. It will pass you by unless you give it full attention, but do that and there's a universe of tone, texture and rhythmic play here. Favorite track: Lys.

1.
Somewhere we come to a deafening. We drink what we are given. I want The agency of death The delirium of sacrifice, to feast Only on what is mine, only On what is sacred within me.

Dawn 03:03
Quarter man, run - A beginning is no breast beat. It is a splitting, a death In the proscenium. A holding In, head down - Sinking prayer in a vast field.

Legion 08:14
First came doubt—a mare born Broken, limp the gate of the father, Rib and skin rose and fell deep in earth Within one year. My birth was slow, little mourning And labor wasted. You see me now, Tar and stick of a fight, limbs bend And breath heaves, I am a legion Unused.

Dioscuri 09:37
Heavenly twins clasp hands within you. Severed man, how you gorge yourselves, split the spoils but take all.  Ripe and rotten, always in the blackest river of mind Which man will you be when you die? The one who watches her grind her teeth Or will you die doe-eyed, offering Flesh, docile before the knife comes down.
