And I hope that someday you’ll conquer this city
In blood and living memory
A ghost of guidance
In your oblivion
May you find your love, find your peace
If anyone may find rest beneath this dust
Let it be you
Forever may you take your precious leave
And feel better
Please feel better for me
Wherever you remain
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
The pale lighting resurrects your sorrow
How awful it must feel to see so much sadness around you
Surrounding you, it closed you in
Be free and go with the wind into the earth
The earth you loved but never allowed you
I can’t help but see your loss as a form of sacrifice
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
Like a guide out of darkness
Unable to see the darkness swallowing you
Well now you’re free of it all
Finally free, of the fires that hounded you
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
You were too good for this world
Rest for those departed
Rest for those departed
From this world your ardent
Flame left a painful wake
Rest for those departed
Rest for those departed
From this world your ardent
Flame left a painful wake
Drown yourself in alcohol
Tell yourself you wouldn’t fall
Tell yourself you’d never fall
It goes on and on and on
Rest for those departed
Rest for those departed
From this world your ardent
Flame left a painful wake
Rest for those departed
Rest for those departed
From this world your ardent
Flame left a painful wake
I need you now more than ever
Please stay forever
I need you now more than ever
Please stay forever
I need you now more than ever
Please stay forever
I need you now more than ever
Please stay forever, please stay

This album is incredible. A perfect embodiment of those northern winds piercing you to the heart. I'm convinced these riffs could move glaciers. 𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ॐ 𝔄𝔟𝔶𝔰𝔰
One of the best metal albums I've heard this decade. Has a mournful, one of a kind atmosphere that has yet to be replicated by just about any other band. 10/10 honeycombguy
《 So many questions 》
— "Rest", Inevitable. NONE.
La mort est une épée de Damoclès : elle va tomber et on en a conscience ; on ignore quand et on la redoute. Tel est le thème d'Inevitable. Pour pousser ce concept jusqu'au bout, NONE fait en sorte que ce quatrième album soit à double tranchants. Sur le plan quantitatif, DSBM et dark ambiant sont sur un pied d'égalité : si le premier est toujours aussi dévastateur, le second n'est pas là pour apporter du réconfort. L'incertitude, l'angoisse... Jordan Vauvert
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
