Eastern European Discontent is about the space we inhabit, both mentally and collectively, as a post-Soviet and post-communist people. It draws from what we saw as ‘the heritage’ given unto us by those years: a general distrust of others, a sense of exile within one’s own environment and, somewhat ironically, an embittered form of individuality, borne out of the need to survive, that is more of a source of isolation than what some might consider strength. All of these explaining certain behavioral or temperamental patterns and characteristics, that, even if not entirely explicit, are observable in the populations of Eastern Europe, should one look close enough.

The video was shot in Dej, Transylvania, showing a face other than the usual one that most black metal enthusiasts associate with this region. Eduard was given a basic understanding of the concept and the freedom to build upon it. Censorship, fear, submission, industry, prosperity, nuclear disaster, all are megaliths in the collective unconscious, that we try to give new meaning and understanding to, some in an attempt to overcome this legacy, others as an impossible return to authoritative order, now seen through the lenses of nostalgia.

lyrics

through the shattered glass, dark rooms
not unlike lungs filled with leaden air
still lays the motionless unrest of men
buried yet not gone, in the grey beyond
these towers ache in ossified agony
in noxious fumes, they convulse and wither
and fall, gradually, like ghosts of olden days
their skin and core burnt and tossed away
to be altered in streams of light and time
nothing but colorless, dreamless sleep
roots clenching onto empty apartments
like bone-dry fingers reaching the heavens
no thought, no gesture, no words belong
in the afterglow of fleeing particles
there’s but the tremor of events past
whose weight still burns immediate
resplendent in its lonesome present
