Perished Bodies

Phil Still one of the most haunting and intensive releases by Planks. Highly underrated album somewhere between Black Metal, Post-Metal and -Hardcore with eerie atmosphere and cutting vocals. It's nice that the spirit continues somewhere in the music of Ultha. Thanks guys! Favorite track: Sadness In Our Ignorance.

Darknight What a killer album Perished Bodies is, this is my kind of music. Plenty of thought put into these amazing songs and such tight musicianship, I've been listening to it on repeat its that good! Planks obviously went out in style👏👏Sludge rock style! Favorite track: Bliss In All Sorrows Found.

YomaBarr Shit, that's what it means to end up on high note.
Sekator

Sekator Solid sludge/post-metal, with a bit of crust on top. Favorite track: The Sacrifist, Pt.I (Through Dirge And Death).
Inner Reflexions

Inner Reflexions What an album to go out on!
Cheers Planks. Favorite track: The Sacrifist, Pt.II (What Does Walking Away Leave Us?).

All these open wounds filled with questions left unanswered You never knew me and you never will! How could I ever tell you? There is a reason why all things must come to an end, why souls return to gold. You never knew me and you never will! The blood in your mouth was always the truth. How could I ever tell you? In love as we're falling down I kept the skin that you live in. Pleased and thankful – empty and hollow. I gave you hope so I could lose mine.
2.
You said ‘Love will always win’. I said ‘Hearts won’t turn from sin'. Please stay through these nights when sadness derives. At the end of the knife all I stole was your life. How could I be close to anyone when I feel so far from what’s my own. Please stay through these nights where lost souls survive. At the end of all times all I lost was my life. My heart is a hearse -immoral to you - immortal to me.
3.
With blood it started and with blood it will end, to hold dominion between emptiness and being alive. Where fear is the key, where nothing lasts, you will find me, saved in sorrow. Decarnate – a hope so broken. The casket you know, the absence of light, transcend a fallow graveyard of old times. When nostalgia turns to negation you fall! Sometimes you're only able to see straight when your eyes are filled with tears.

She Is Alone 04:38
In my house behind the stairs I lingered low for thirty years ...She is alone Falling down on wings turned frail the faces change, the fear remains. A stranger's heart, the strangest heart. ...I am alone In endless night where no one stares people change and heartbreak dares. She lost the key to herself. I lost the key to myself.
5.
Shaping truths to what I need it to be. A soul revering singularity. I still love this world! Love is blind, when you need it the most, the comfort of the man who walks alone. The words refuse my tongue. I’ll die alone, never colder. Love is blind, when you need it the most. The comfort of the man who walks alone. I – Still – Love – This – World! Hopelessly chasing, hopelessly losing. The world consoles me and I don't care who I'll lose.
6.
Only Now 04:33
I would feel more sense if I could sense what I could have. I ceased to hope because I understood: The loneliest place in hell is mine. Life clings to me like a disease - I don't fear death but to be the first to walk again. There is nothing here for me. There is nothing left to feel.

Your face, so covetous, cuts my lungs to destroy hollow-voiced compassion. Your words, are the noose around my neck. I wish you would, what you won't do. In my holiest temple with eyes elusively moving you elevate my heart with glare. This beckon in banality conveys you don't want me, but I need you.
