schadensbild For me summerset is a really nostalgic album. Whenever i must endure depressive state of numbness and boredom this album does make a really good ost for it. The lofi recording adds to the listening experience and makes smoking cigarettes while listening to the casette version an unforgettable experience. Which btw i reccomend everybody listening to the album. Buy the casette it’s truly beautiful! While imo Sams discography & projects are pretty versatile in general this project is unique. Favorite track: The Window.

Every morning falls the same, into memory, all again. I've seen this sunrise hit the Earth thousands of times before. Creature of habit, please, abandon me, leave me down below. Monotony taking over and gripping me, Pulling me down, down again. Every evening falls the same, into memory, all again. I've seen this sunset grace the Earth thousands of times before. Creature of habit, please, abandon me, leave me out alone. Monotony taking over and throwing me all around, 'Til life escapes this man.

White Noise 05:37
These thoughts won't leave my head, leave me alone for just one second. A minute is all I ask for; a moment of silence to think. The constant roar of doubt fills my mind; Thoughts of what went wrong, and why, and how, and when. It's killing me, eating me alive. Just give me my peace and I'll move on. Tell me why, just tell me why, I had to be this way. Living here was not enough; I've lost control of my brain. Torment me, the curse of thee, beckon with your body. Just one move, but yet, I can't make it. I'm frozen here, going nowhere. I try, and try, and try, and try, and try, but I can't get ahead. Everybody is miles down the road, living as they wish. I try, and try again. One day I'll find it. Flames will burn all around me; from the inside out I will die.

Remember Me 06:34
I'll remember you; will you remember me? As time goes on. I never could forget the years past, and years to come, I only hope it lasts. Every memory burning deep in my brain, Searing through my eyes. I'll remember you; will you remember me? As time goes on. I'll remember you; will you remember me? As time goes on. Differences in me, differences in you, forever changed. Mark yourself on me, through pointed tongue or memory, Or nothing at all. I'll remember you; will you remember me? As time goes on. I'll remember you; will you remember me? I'll remember you; will you remember me?

The Window 06:26
As snow falls to cover my heavy heart, I wave goodbye from the frosted window. The floorboards creak as I drift across, Down the lambent hall, toward my room. Ice clings to my breath and envelopes me, As I crawl into my warm, dark bed. The wind blows the tree outside my window, Gently etching the snow on the glass. The branches' soft taps are musical, And finally lull me to sleep. I awaken to realize that house wasn't mine; That bed wasn't mine. There was no tree. There was no window. I awaken to realize that I never got to say goodbye.

about

Summerset is the second full-length album released by Bellwethr. It was written and recorded from September to October 2022 entirely on a Tascam MF-P01 Portastudio four track recorder after the laptop being used for the planned second album died. This lo-fi approach and its inherent limitations were embraced as the album's sound and as a tool to convey the emotions present. Summerset explores an overall feeling of melancholy, from themes of anxiety and self doubt to the loss of loved ones. It sits in the realm of depressive black metal that has been explored by Bellwethr before, but takes it in a much more personal direction. It also takes influence from other genres, blending together sounds from genres such as raw black metal, post black metal, post rock, and shoegaze. Some artists that influenced the album include Hypothermia, Consider Suicide, Këkht Aräkh, Alcest, Have a Nice Life, Slowdive, and many more.
