  • "The Meyrinkian Slumber" LIMITED MC EDITION (NUMBERED 1-91)
    Cassette + Digital Album

    Limited MC edition of 91 cassettes. In remembrance of Gustav Meyrink's suicide attempt in the year 1891. The fatal gunshot was stopped at the last second by a mysterious occult flyer that was shoved without a word under the writer's door. Each MC's individual number is printed on the shell. The layout was painstakingly crafted to be a tribute to an old printed version of "Der Golem".

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Meyrinkian Slumber via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Sold Out

  • T-Shirt/Apparel

    Limited edition of 23 t-shirts only. For Gustav Meyrink, purple was the colour of perfection. The number 23 was chosen in remembrance of his suicide attempt at the age of twenty-three (in the same fashion as the year 1891 reference in the cassette 1-91 edition). The print is charcoal on purple and it is barely visible from the front view. Yet from the side view and under sources of light it suddenly appears and becomes metallic / golden. Both colours can not be actually captured in their true nature through photography. Printed on Gildan Heavy Cotton.

lyrics

A shameful walk through the lamplit streets
Framed for murder
The days crept by
Week followed sluggish week

Shivering all the time
When the sun reveals its careless face
Unbroken rows of iron doors with massive bolts
Barred windows

The palace of rot, a dreadful home
A cavity with a pestilential smell
In the middle of the prison yard
A bare half-dead tree –
We are alike

My nails – all torn
A despair-ridden heart bound in scorn
I stared out into the black murk outside
It stared back devoid of life and soul –
We are alike

The roaming one
Lend me your sight
These eyes can reach where I cannot reach

I counted the hours
Praying for them to pass
What did it matter
Whether I reached my end
On the gallows
Or by my own hand

A half-open mouth
A corpselike face
Lips slightly restless
Through them old words are born
I will follow the voice
To a casket or to a throne.
