| lim. black
vinyl to 100 copies, second press Atmospheric death metal. Three
simple words to describe ones music, chosen by JADE mainman J.
himself, although they dont seem to quite pay justice to the
gigantic scope of their music. Because ever since the release of their
debut demo back in 2018 theyve proven again and again to be more.
Much more. Historically speaking, the word jade referred to a rare
but really valuable mineral in ancient times all over the world. From
Mesoamerican cultures to Chinese and Southern Asian ones, the
greenstone was conferred with deep spiritual symbolism and used to
connect the earthly level to the unknown. The history of the countless
traditions, legends and cults remain as an endless source of topics in
terms of lyrics for the band, with a rich historical narrative also
poetized. JADEs music is described by J. as a tribute to the
timeless obscure metal language, from early death/doom manifestations
to later atmospheric black acts, in a really heavy, intense and epic
form which transcends ages, as the greenstone cult has endured. The
sophomore album, and second full-length after last year split LP with
SANCTUARIUM, Mysteries Of A Flowery Dream carries an ominous wave of
darkness, redefining heaviness with new levels of musical production
and arrangements, compared by J. to a journey into the dialogue
between conscious and subconscious dreaming states and the mysteries
around. The albums lyrics are in direct line of those themes,
echoing the celestial world and how it can help us overcoming ominous
times (The Stars Shelter), how dreams can be interpreted as
omens (Lights Blood) and how they allow us to travel the Mayan
cosmovision and its various worlds for guidance, healing and messages
(Shores Of Otherness), among others. You can even find on the
cover artwork elements of the ancient Mesoamerican cosmovision, mainly
the powerful moon goddess Ixchel, a creative yet destructive entity,
portrayed here as the Spider and threading human fate like an
umbilical cord, determined to give life but also to destroy it if
needed. A frightening, fragile yet utterly fascinating balance
perfectly illustrated by Mysteries Of A Flowery Dream. for fans of
Bölzer, Sulphur Aeon, The Ruins Of Beverast.
