Diagoristan, Free of Life and Full of Tragedy

by Culpable

supported by

Andy Johnston This is an album that feels haunted; a House of Leaves-esque record, that’s infinitely bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Favorite track: Aneurysm.

Ongles You had me at "noisy blackened emoviolence with movie dialogues or whatever the fuck this is" Favorite track: Aneurysm.

about

A concept album.

This album was strongly inspired by paranormal experiences in recent years. I felt haunted in my home, and the thoughts that I had in my head that felt implanted from a foreign source were then transmitted into music and poetry, which on this album, coincides with the music.

In other words, this album is intended to be a simulation of a paranormal anthology of sorts.

Enjoy. I know I did.

"Uncertainty and unpredictability go hand in hand. Everything pans out exactly as planned for him. Let him be this way. We can’t do anything about it.
'Is it mercy?'
'Perhaps.'
Faceless deity, a screaming mouth.
Conquest: I remember everything."

A matter of escape versus banishment versus migration.

Each download of this album comes with a PDF with all of the lyrics on this and a book of poetry I've been writing throughout this past year around the same time as this album called My Friend, I Have Given Up.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 7 fans who also own “Diagoristan, Free of Life and Full of Tragedy”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu

This album sounds like it was recorded inside of a dream. Soothing melodies, distant vocals and amazing beats - Endlhëtonëg is simply something else botwin336
