Das niederländische Ein-Mann-Projekt SHYLMAGOGHNAR präsentiert die zweite melodisch-atmosphärische Black/Death Metal Auskopplung `The Sea´ aus dem für den 10. November geplanten neuen Album „Convergence“, die Mastermind Nimblkorg alias Kevin Betrand seiner verstorbenen Mutter José Bertrand-Janssen widmet. Als erste Single waren Track und Clip zu  `Follow The River` erschienen.

Der Künstler kommentiert:

„Though you’re alone, be not afraid Child of the Sea, remember the waves Then wash away thy sorrow, pain and grief Child who Became, return now to the Sea“

„The Sea is the penultimate track of the third album, Convergence, which also marks the end of Shylmagoghnar’s initial trilogy. It is the conclusion of a journey started so long ago. A place which welcomes all who have learned to let go. Weary traveller, your fight is over. Welcome back. This song and video is dedicated to José Bertrand-Janssen. Rest in peace Mom.“

Lyrics:

Lo, in the distance – a riddle ascends
Where the rivers find the ocean
Where all boundaries end
And with every step closer, one will know what it meant

Where the streams converge in song,
Strange patterns of emergent forms
Undulate a transient light; its vibrant dance resemblant of the mind
Grudges and beliefs, now nothing but a stirring of the sea
Futile to hold on to waves which in a blink are already
Gone

is the will that drove me to my foolish deeds
Gone like the pain; that searing friend accompanying my way
Oh that mortal song
With which it all had ended and begun
Thank you for the times
You have bled with me before we had

To die

is but a step; let the open waters drink all your regrets
Rejoin with the all; shattered at birth now whole again becomes
Return to a time when the cosmos was your mother and your child
and all that you wrought is a dream that when you woke up you forgot
