The light is now dyingsufficient only to create aberrant shadows that wrap my ankles.I try to untangle myself but I can’t!I just want to throw up while the pillow chokes me,I see my limbs plunge into the crib, putrefying among the mitesI'm drowning! I'm entering! I'm inside...Have I ever been awake?

3.

As corpses, bury traumas, decomposed, they disappear in the subsoil, pulverizing.Until every trace (vestige) of existence disappears.Fading in PainThe Black fruitsOf the bad luckUnknowingly gathered already rottenFrom the tree of life,Like an altar of perversioncontaminated by the worms Fading of pain in communion with the celestial body of the purificationLet yourself go And embrace the death with the astral projection

Sulphur visions seek meInto this narrow cave summoning memy nostrils can feel it…. that abhorrent smell againDiscerning the stenchof mutilation over these strange remainsthe dismal flutes of the windstill afflict my mindreverberation of an ancient painFrom the unremembered Oligocene timeDARK COSMOSa stream in the sky guide me toward the dreambut the mirage asphyxiates my spirit you cry sour salt, i cry crystals of salt.this horrendous boreal landscape embraces me.

The deluge ragesThe water pours slowly on the windscreenas a clot of bloodA shapeless mud that exacerbates my movementsA choking voice on the phonetells the arrival of a dimension of sorrowFinally i can admire it the designof an open head on the tread [ I see the stars bleeding their incessant flow swallows my gaze my empty white eyes meet each other I see the stars crumbling my frail and tired legs will rest, will rot ]And now the wooden raftcuts through the pond among the water liliesAbove,the dead body,the incense on the hands,the butterflies on his wounds, on his griefsIt has never been so resplendentShe has never been so beautiful.

Warping minds and matter with their two track 2018 demo, Bedsore came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin, who together in twisting conspiracy now issue the full length album ‘Hypnagogic Hallucinations’. A fitting title for the dark lucid dreamscapes and obscure fantasia Bedsore deliver on their debut.

Like an Argento film the Roman band paint the canvas of Death Metal in vivid bright washes of ornamented color and stabs of inventive horror that belies the corporeal grotesquery of the band’s name. Probing into the brain through psychedelic digression and winding hypnotic prog a protean world of weird organic contours and mysterious meaning take shape.

A debut album of considerable imagination and subconscious peculiarity, ‘Hypnagogic Hallucinations’ is an uninhibited first step for a band emboldened to travel to the farthest reaches of the possible within the celestial spheres of Death Metal.
