Album Religion | Dolor

If love can’t outlast the grave, then what’s the point of it all? Blood Red Roses offers a tale of love as both a blessing and a curse, a lover’s spell that binds and breaks. The lyrics speak of the painful grip of desire, where passion cuts deep, and the roses bloom with both beauty and brutality. It’s a song of torment, of being bound to a love that wounds as much as it seduces. The heart, though shattered, is drawn ever closer to the sweet destruction. Blood Red Roses weaves a rich tapestry of religious themes and metaphors, invoking the crucifixion—the ultimate act of sacrifice—and the unwavering faith in resurrection. In the realm of gothic literature, parallels are drawn between the holy communion and the dark covenant of iconic vampires like Nosferatu, Dracula, and Vourdalak. Legends recount how those who witnessed such haunting spectacles etched their tales into history, whispering of eternal life.
In this context, roses—deep crimson and tinged with blood—become powerful symbols of a love forged in sacrifice. The inspiration for writing Blood Red Roses emerged from a serene moment of introspection, its haunting hook taking shape during a meditative moment when frontman Pete Mills drifted beyond time into a spiritual plane. The themes explored in the track also delve into a toxic love that spirals into depravity yet clings desperately to the flicker of hope for rebirth and redemption—all things part and parcel regarding religious fervor and pacts sealed in blood.

The video for the song, inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation—particularly the infrared scenes of Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) in the arena—was shot by Ellen Hawk. It showcases Mills’ multi-instrumental talents and mirrors the song’s intensity, capturing the complex emotions at the heart of Blood Red Roses.

Released at the spawn of Autumn as the world shifts into the cold of winter, Blood Red Roses keeps those, who dare to love, warm throughout the storm.

Fortuna

“무당 / Mudang”

A mudang is a Korean shaman who practices the art of mu. Traditionally, they are future tellers and spiritual healers. This song tells a story about a mudang who is able to see into the futures of other people and heal them, yet are unable to use this ability to help themselves. A seer who cannot see. A healer who is self sabotaging. A blind prophet descending into madness. This song is the core of our new k-goth EP called “Premonitions” slated to be released on December Friday the 13th. It is metaphorical to the dread of knowing. The dread of paralyzing sadness. The dread of being witness to a dystopian future unfolding before our eyes. Pre-save it on Spotify. Pre-order it on Bandcamp. December Friday the 13th.

The cover art is drawn by our wonderful synth player and artist æther. It was inspired by the Korean bujeok (a talisman that shamans use to ward evil spirits away) and the three headed pigeon that , in Korean myth, symbolizes calamity.

lyrics:

무당 (Mudang), I feel so insecure 
무당 (Mudang), away from the sun 
무당 (Mudang), I wanna disappear
무당 (Mudang), 생각없는 (thoughtless one)

You told me that you’ve visioned the fate of everyone you’ve crossed 
And now you’ve gone insane, from words, you repeat into the lost 

일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 다가와
(The eclipse is coming)

무당 (Mudang), now I’ve lost control 
무당 (Mudang), I’m going to drown
무당 (Mudang) I don’t want be alone
무당 (Mudang), 내 버려진 마음 (My abandoned heart)

You held your judgement like a knife but now you’re cutting a kiss   
Your futures come and gone again still you’re moving your lips. 

일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요 
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 다가와
(The eclipse is coming)
