about

All instruments and vocals by Rashid Abdel Ghafur

Recorded at Zond Studios October - Novermber 2021

Mist covered peaks abandoning sunlight
Caves colored with moss that glows at night
Spores floating through the air as I walk
Unaware that their potion will corrupt and stalk
My voyage through the mountains alone
A heartfelt journey on which I hoped to atone
For a life spent pursuing the wrong goals
Now I return to nature…

This feeling in my head has spread to my legs
It is time to rest in one of these caverns awhile
The air had a fragrance that was all wrong
Yet for the time being I can’t help but smile
If in fact I was given a dose of something wicked
While passing on the wind into my nose
It would be best for me to sit for who knows…

What is this sound I here from the depths of the earth?
Is this an animal or the stone itself speaking to me?

Gentle...carefully lift yourself...with grace and composure
That which has entered your lungs has poisoned you
There is no way of knowing how dangerous it is
Or when it will have run its course completely

Am I actually the stone?
Is the sound coming from me?

Slowly venture further in to find out
This is important enough to see what its all about
A quick look further down the tunnel and then back
No need for any accident or misfortune to take place

There is light in a branch of the tunnel leading to the left
As I draw closer it becomes intolerably bright
What could possibly be causing this?
Who could be here at night?

As I enter the light we become one
This rock is a part of me
As is the moss
One

From that moment onward I fully understand
That the infinite meaning of the universe
Is the terrible realization of sameness
For what could be worse?

We were raised to believe that being different
Unique, special, individual, free
Was a gift of our ancestors
How could this be?

Then a voice spoke to me…

“Humans are the same as everything around them
Neither superior, nor inferior
Every atom is a part of the whole
A piece of something that will grow until the end of time forevermore.”

Did I say that?
Was it a thought in my head?

Urban Post Black (EP)
by SALQIU

supported by 5 fans who also own “Unknown Powers”

Nuno Lourenço est dans Urban Post Black celui qui "capture le n'importe quoi" : un terme assez étrange, avec peut-être une forme d'auto-dérision, qui respecte "sur le principe" le black metal avant-gardiste fulgurant et chaotique de Salqiu. Mais sur cet E.P., ça prend un sens différent. Encore plus expérimental, Salqiu saisit l'essence même de la ville : elle est laide mais sublime, elle s'écroule sur nous et elle inspire. Urban Post Black est complètement irréel parce qu'il est bien trop réel. Jordan Vauvert

Lazarus Denied
by SALQIU

supported by 5 fans who also own “Unknown Powers”

Il est facile d'évoquer la mort dans le black metal, genre en opposition : cette thématique y est une base par essence ; y trouver une réflexion mature et philosophique est déjà beaucoup plus rare. Salqiu prend cette réflexion à bras le corps dans Lazarus Denied et nous fait voir l'éternité à travers les pensées d'un squelette piégé dans un ossuaire. Son black metal, finement construit, joue la carte d'un univers gothique extraordinaire (surtout sur les parties II et V). Salqiu ne déçoit jamais. Jordan Vauvert
