Funeral Fog An album so damn good, I had to purchase from the band & record label. I don't like purchasing the same album, but My Bones Shall Rest Upon The Mountain is truly spectacular. Plus, I will always support their label Northern Silence Productioms. Nothing but quality with every band they sign! Favorite track: Conquer thy Mountain.

Spinebrain The cover art is wonderful and song arrangements, I am not totally sold on the vocals yet but I believe there is so much potential that the purchase was needed. Favorite track: A Warm Place With No Memory.

1988_tokyo Like a hidden gem, it's really been a while since I ran into an album that made me shout 'Holy s*** this is the real ****' without even noticing. One helluva atmosphere and I guess I'll be binge listening to this one for quite a while.
The last track is a must–cold, solemnness, sense of a desperate determination, but does not forgoing the one last ray of hope, everything I could ask for this genre is right here in this single track. Favorite track: When I Die I Shall Return.

1.
Conquer thy Mountain I watch the snow fall, from the side of a mountain. And watch the stars as they appear. These tired legs of mine, somehow they know where to go. Towards the light they stride, and so I climb Many years I’ve wandered all alone upon these hills In search of something close to peace My body aches, my spirits tired, my sword is broken. Here I fall and enter sleep eternally. From somewhere deep inside I hear a voice calling me These words carved inside my mind forever Conquer thy mountain Thy wings shall give us flight My heart a thundercloud that beats in the hardest times Conquer thy mountain Enter the final trial Victory is served to the ones who climb.
2.
Shadows on the Wall This sword I carry, forged years ago Given to me by my father, no gift but a curse Cursed to wander these lands far from my home Cursed to be afraid and journey on my own This shield I carry, carved from the wood Of a tree in my town, countless years ago Built to protect me from everything I fear Illusions from my mind and things I cannot see. My armour shines in the setting sun Shadows grow and the air is cold Whispering voice in a tongue unknown to me In this forest will I die?
3.
A Warm Place With No Memory Serenade the dawn, the light flows on Alone I stare in awe A warm place with no memory Will forever be home I will find you on my road I will meet you by the shore In these shadows I’m alone I will take you to my home
4.
Bleed With Me I’ve seen white light Clouds from the grey Hold a safe place Within my heart.
5.
Slaves of Misery Dashed upon the rocks of grief Cast adrift upon the wretched sea Thoughts of home frequently Immobilised by fright. Deeper down beyond all sound Surely here is where all life should drown Forgot the warmth of the sun It drifts away from sight. Slave away and wait to die Waste away for your whole life But a slave to misery Curse the day and morning light Another day I walk with thee Within these halls that ye may never leave Haunted by the ghosts of fear They disappear in time. From the gates I see the end Wave goodbye as if you were my friend Why on me do you depend? And never leave my side?
6.
When I Die I Shall Return When I arrived my journey took me through the trees I came upon a land of snow Mountains of ice, and souls being warmed by fireside It was here I made a home As days grew warm from their homes I heard the songs We shared laughs and hopes and beer Long blurry nights, laughing til the morning rise In those days the world was fair How I wish that I could sleep and dream forever In this realm eternally my home But my heart belongs somewhere far across the sea When I die I shall return. When summer came the hills became a brilliant green And the sun above did shine I felt the warmth, something never seen before Locked away for all time. The years go on and we grow old Yet my strength remains Another day, another path I start to notice my friend grows grey He’s walking slowly, a few steps behind This is where his legs gave way. I held his head, heavy in my hands From his mouth escaped a sigh Many years and journeys more And now he says goodbye I plead with him, please don’t go I see his spirit rise Into the fog he wandered forth And disappeared before my eyes Here where no one wanders Where no lights can be seen A winter realm of ice and snow Forever here I’ll dream And when the time does come My broken body dies My bones shall rest forevermore Upon the mountainside.

about

Earthshine was formed in 2015 by the brothers Sam and Connor Dwyer from Australia who wanted to make something they could both work on, discuss and get excited about while not living close to each other (Sam living in Japan, Connor in Australia). Their debut album was released by Northern Silence in 2016.

The second album, ‘My Bones Shall Rest Upon the Mountain’, is heavily influenced by Sam's experiences in Japan, especially the extremely snowy and cold winters, which were shocking compared with the winters he’d experienced in Australia. During the time between this album and the debut, Connor became much more influenced by Psychedelic music while Sam continued listening to Black Metal. The new album is still focused on a sorrowful Doom sound, but with more Black Metal and atmospheric influences.

This album was recorded with a seven string guitar and a range of guitar pedals Sam was able to pick up in Japan. In the brothers' opinion the new songs are better in every regard, and the music sounds more sorrowful and heavy. Nature and the harshness of life influenced both the music and lyrics for this album.
