Pain hardens into something unbreakable. He is no longer haunted, but transformed — turning his darkness into art. Stronger without her, yet still shaped by loss.

What We Don't Talk About

Better Off

After she’s gone, the truth of his feelings hits like fire. Guilt, rage, longing — an uncontrollable storm aimed at someone who can no longer hear.

Before It Explodes

The opening breath of emptiness. A soul scorched inside, living only through stories, not reality. This is the first crack in the mask — the quiet confession.

Confession (Prologue)

A fear of sleep, where dreams cut too deep to tell from life. The only escape seems to be a final awakening — death.

Awake

Among countless faces, he meets Her — strangely familiar, like someone lost long ago. The connection is immediate, yet shadowed by an unspoken farewell from the very start.

Before We Met

They recognize the same wound in each other. No one tries to fix the other — they simply stay. In silence, they find they are no longer alone in their solitude.

Ringing Silence

He offers her his strength when she cannot rise on her own. His promise comes not from pity, but from shared pain — a vow to carry part of her weight.

Borrow My Wings

She left, uttering “Farewell,” and now their paths have parted. He departs, yet leaves a door open for her—a place where she can always find peace and support. No judgment, no conditions, only a quiet readiness to welcome her whenever she may need it.

...Shoul'dst Thou Need Me (Epilogue)

She’s gone. Only traces remain — dust on glass, a lingering breath. The song lives in the pause, in what is absent more than what is present.

Residual

Another cruel confession. She’s so tired… ready to disappear...

What You Were Never Meant To Hear

The Black Quill is a musical duet of Dmitry Kolganov and Mira Shadranis — a dark fantasy writer and his muse. It’s a dialogue between pain and understanding, between the one who creates and the one who inspires.
Each album is a story. Each song — a confession torn from silence; what we don’t talk about.
The sound balances between dark ambient, brutal deathcore, cinematic score and depressive ballad, creating a sonic world where the soul stands face to face with itself.
