Darkness encloses me Stifling, close, scream Got me trapped like an animal Got me trapped Right or left, all the same Hemmed in Lock step Lock step Lock step, all my life The motions, all a waste Despair has a taste In your throat All in Sell your soul Got me trapped like an animal Lock step Lock step Lock step, all my life The motions, all a waste Despair has a taste In your throat All in Sell your soul Got me trapped like an animal

I wish you nothing but the best When I'm gone No that's wrong I wish your life turns to shit When I'm gone All your work falls apart You lose it all When I'm gone Scraping bottom of the pit Of your demise into shit And you can't get get back out I hope you fail When I'm gone I wish you nothing but the best When I'm gone But that's a lie I hope you die I hope you end When I'm gone Your family out on the street Beg for scraps Because you're gone Wherever I end up to be I'll sit and laugh When you're gone

about

Xylophar (Зилофар) is a double album, made to fit snug on a 90 minute cassette (without the bonus tracks). It focuses on the desire for solitude. The omnipresent lead guitar is the voice of the narrator.

"As I sit here writing this on a Sunday morning, it’s absolutely hammering it down with rain outside and the ancient trees I can see outside my window look amazing. I note this as I’m struck by the thought that some Black Metal can act as the perfect accompaniment to nature, seeming to touch on something primal. Natanas, however, is more like the perfect antidote to nature. This is music that seems to want to blacken and despoil nature’s purity and scorch the earth with fire in its wake. At least that’s my impression...

There seems to be a theme of a lone, mournful, off-kilter lead guitar running throughout the album too, almost like it’s documenting the activity of the protagonist in the fictional film that this scores in my mind." - Wonderbox Metal (wonderboxmetal.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/natanas-xylophar-review/)

"I hate it more than soup skin." - MetalShopped
