Hear our plea Show your presence Born of flame Sons of Aaron Lift this curse End your silence Hold your judgment for the foul and cruel  We’ve seen dark angels spread their wings Elucidation burn the sight from our eyes Beneath the endless sky  Lightning bends the knife We’ve witnessed seraphim draw water from a stone Lift your chalice Quench our thirst When the righteous come crawling past, they’ll beg to you No one offers prayer when mouths are full Till the cycle of toil returns When the cycle of toil returns  Come to us Moving like rivers flowing  Someone calls out Spirit takes a hold “Turn your hearts or face the coming storm” Vengeance speaks many tongues

Far from home Drenched in rain Hopeful still, this escape Choices made Come what may Thought these woods Would keep me safe Tendrils wind, obfuscate Shelter wrecked All in vain No supplies Foraging All the doubts now to face Spores drift past, beckoning It’s easy to ignore hunger’s pangs When the forest floor becomes your grave Body still No more pain Face in shadow Hidden by the day Red eyes glow out beyond the lake Consuming all, mycelium partakes Transforming these remains Lifeless shell will rise again To roam the earth

about

Vitskär Süden’s VESSEL fuses rich sonic soundscapes with weird fiction sensibilities, delving into realms uniquely their own and continuing the Californians’ ascent as a progressive-psych force to be reckoned with.

"Vessel is as smooth as a morphine drip that sends you gliding over oceans of molten darkness." - Laird Barron, author of Not a Speck of Light (stories)

about

Vitskär Süden Los Angeles, California

“Gorgeous and sinister. Shoots images into my brain of blacklight posters of secret rites in lost, desecrated valleys performed while some bastard '70s metal band croons a sword & sorcery drug rock accompaniment naming, song-by-song, a terrible thing that should remain nameless.”

—Laird Barron, author of The Imago Sequence and Other Stories
