Asomatous Grove
Almyrkvi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skies immured, and darkness falls
Pestiferous moribund menaces disgorge hellish tongues of magma
A cluster of growls
Their vociferous howls
Forebode the ephemeral
Imprisoned within the asomatous
Ethereal emerald stream
Tainted by the igneous
Scorching fires gleam
Astral scythe is lowered
Beating labyrinthine paths
Hounded by the snarling feral beast
Empyrean nonpareil impaired
The tarnished cloak elails
Caliginous craft charges
The lyrics to Almyrkvi's "Asomatous Grove" paint a dark and ominous picture of a night journey through a mystical forest. The first lines evoke the image of a chariot, perhaps symbolizing death, departing to the "atemporal" or timeless forest. The skies are "immured," suggesting a sense of being trapped or confined, and darkness falls. The creatures that inhabit this forest are described as "pestiferous moribund menaces" who spew "hellish tongues of magma." The use of such vivid, characteristic language creates a truly foreboding atmosphere.
As the journey continues, the singer is warned by a cluster of growls and howls of the foreboding ephemeral that is to come. They are described as being "imprisoned within the asomatous," a reference to the non-physical, immaterial realm. The "ethereal emerald stream" suggests a sense of otherworldliness, one that is however tainted by the "igneous scorching fires." The "astral scythe" mentioned in the lyrics could symbolize death itself descending upon the singer.
The rest of the lyrics continue in this vein of describing a terrifying, otherworldly journey. Ultimately, "Asomatous Grove" is a song that leaves the listener with a strong feeling of unease and terror, conjuring up dark visions of a journey through an ethereal, but dangerous world.

Awesome song and band. Didn't know them before and all I can say is that, in regards of songwriting and atmosphere, this is totally on par with the songs from TROB on this split EP. Really enjoying it.

@mattsmossing
this is amazing. I loved the first EP but never really listened to the album. Sinmaras latest release is one of my top albums of recent years so this totally makes sense.
