Drown In Sulphur - Dark Secrets Of The Soul

Blackened deathcore has seemingly taken the world by storm after Lorna Shore made it cool on 2022’s Pain Remains, an album that has taken the last two years to grow on me. Lorna Shore was always a relatively popular band in the genre, but with the addition of Will Ramos of A Wake In Providence fame (another deathcore band that’s helped to shape the sound currently), they got popular almost overnight and Pain Remains became a game changer. When you have a band or sound become popular, and in this case, Lorna Shore’s brand of symphonic blackened deathcore that goes over the top in all the best ways, other bands are going to jump on the train, for better or worse. Italian deathcore band Drown In Sulphur is one of those bands, but they’ve been around for a few years already. They dropped their debut in 2021, but I’ve only heard of them since their new album, Dark Secrets Of The Soul, just came out. I was curious about it, based on the idea that these guys take deathcore and a Cradle Of Filth / Dimmu Borgir approach to their brand of black metal, having a more symphonic and synth-laden sound.

I’ve given their new one a handful of listens, and honestly, this record is a lot of fun. It’s not quite going to be one of my favorites of the year, at least in my list itself, but I could see this being an honorable mention maybe. Nonetheless, Dark Secrets is a solid album that takes deathcore and combines it with grandiose symphonics and synths. It’s nothing super unique, especially the deathcore elements of their sound, but it’s a fun record. They do what they do well, and that’s all you need sometimes. If anything, their black metal elements are what makes them interesting, but the deathcore sound they have is cool, too. It’s well done, and this record has some sick breakdowns that pop up from time to time. It does have a few slight issues, even aside from the deathcore elements being nothing to write home about, but having a generic sound doesn’t bother me.

What does bother me, albeit slightly, is having really unnecessary interludes, introductions, and outros that don’t add anything or do anything remotely interesting, and this record is chock full of them. Aside from having a really unnecessary and forgettable introduction that adds nothing of value to the album, there are a few interludes that sound like every generic acoustic, symphonic, and ambient interlude you’ve ever heard. Even a lot of the breakdowns, while they sound good, they leave me wanting more, because they’re just so generic and bland. This album sort of reminds me of McDonald’s, at least in the sense that it’s cheap, quick, and good in the moment, but you’re not finding yourself always wanting it, or even thinking about it afterwards.

This band has potential, and I think that’s the biggest takeaway I’ve got from this album. You can hear it, especially when they go more into black metal, and while their deathcore elements are good, they lack any lasting value. They don’t make it interesting or unique enough, let alone execute well it enough to the point where I can forgive it. They do what they do well, at least to a degree, and a lot of stuff here is good. Their vocalist has a nice roar when it comes to deathcore, and a nasty snarl when it comes to black metal. I wish they would lean more into black metal, versus just symphonics here and there, but it’s when the band excels. Give us more of that, and these guys can be one of the most successful newer deathcore bands out there, but in the meantime, there are bands doing this sound better, or at the very least, a little more interestingly. The seeds are there for something more unique, so time will tell if these guys get better and get more ambitious, or if they just follow the crowd and want to make generic blackened deathcore.

You know I've talked a lot about how writers go back and add things to Dick's childhood to give it more edge. When really they could have just pulled any Golden Age comic and expanded upon it. Because Dick nearly dies like every time he goes out as Robin.

For example take Batman #11 not a famous issue. But here's what goes down

Dick catches up with the Joker's men. They hold his head underwater until he passes out. Then the Joker ties him out and lights sulphur on fire so the fumes will choke Robin out. Robin manages to SOS signal with wires... I gues

And Batman arrive to find other people trying to help Robin breathe. Batman uses a pulmotor an early ventilator basically. And saves his life. Bruce then takes his half dead kid home, gets him in his pjs, and watches him all night long.

And then Batman goes out and finds the Joker "Try to kill Robin, will you? I'm going to give you the beating of your life!"

The angst that could be pulled from a mission like this? Trauma from drowning. The smell of sulphur. How Joker has always had it out for Robin in general. When Two-Face almost killed Dick there was a whole arc about the trauma of that event. There are like hundreds of these events from Dick's original childhood.

I had a dream about a videogame called "Lady in hell" or "Magdeline in hell" or something like that & on the surface level it was just one of those "getting over it" type games where its just super hard and frustrating and grindy to play but it was actually mechanically really easy just super like. Upsetting and tedious. It was marketed all silly but then when you play it its about this old woman who lived a good life and died a peaceful death waking up in hell & being told that she had sinned so she has to crawl her way out of hell if she wants to be resurrected & doesn't want to stay in hell forever. And like the first few minutes you're stuck with Magdeline (sticking with that) crying and begging for forgiveness before you're allowed to move & she slowly hobbles around bc shes a fucking old lady & she's in the same statethat she was when she passed & the first task is getting off of the pillar that you're on &its like. Most of the gameplay was just sorta feeling out what keys to press and when but it was so depressing watching her barely holding on as she tries to climb down & when she reaches the ground it's sulphur that burns her skin (idk if it actually does that but dreamlogic) but she's too weak and tired to go on her feet so she just has to crawl and drag herself across it & let most of her body get burned. The dream kinda cut away for a bit but when we came back she was just making her way out of a warzone-looking scene and into a reef with stinging coral and tight underwater caverns and she had to drown but not die repeatedly to get through long stretches underwater then resurface and have to cough it all out until she had to do it again. Last we saw of her she was climbing up a waterfall cave thingy trying not to slip.

[ghostisun]

thinking about aether seeing the newly summoned dewdrop and, feeling the call in the yawning of his heart, claiming dew as his mate.

aether had heard of this from omega – how bonds just snap in place like they’ve long been written in the stars.

“funny, isn’t it?” the older ghoul had asked him then when aether was just new, smelling too much like the sulphuric fumes of the pit, and his body too sensitive for the topside. “how even those of us have something so beautiful?”

omega didn’t seem too happy when he said this, his face pinched in a faux smile. aether would learn later how omega’s bond fizzled the moment it had been formed; how, no matter how much he tried salvaging it, it was futile. how it was meant to fail no matter what.

(papa, the shadows whispered when aether reached into the abyss to find out who it was that omega was destined for. coiled within the answer was a sharp sting, a sensation that had aether pulling away with a gasp.

in the next breath, omega was standing before him, his eyes ablaze even when his face was clean of any anger.

“don’t,” he warned, and aether knew. aether had felt, after all, the deep and pained longing that omega was carrying.

“i’m sorry,” he answered.

omega disappeared with a quiet growl.)

no one else had a bond that was like omega’s with terzo’s; nothing deep and desperate, nothing that ached and reverberated as though the thought, alone, of living without one’s destined pair was enough to rattle one’s bones.

nothing like this – searing and overwhelming; bright and burning.

aether felt like choking. like drowning. like he is being doused with something so filling, he feels like he’s about to burst at his seams.

a presence tangles with his own, taking up the space in the yawning of his heart. it caresses him. it embraces him. it gives so much to aether that he is reduced to soft whimpers and gasped-out tears.

he feels-

he feels like he’s been remade.

when aether opens his eyes to find those of the newly summoned one’s, his mind pulses with a name.

dewdrop.

dewdropdewdropdewdrop-

then, mine.

mineminemine.

Lucy: *Ao’s chosen, Lathanders daughter, slayer of Asmodeus and one of the two true rulers of the hells after assuming the power of both divine and the fiendish, standing before the people of Elturel as they cower in terror, guards standing against her unsure as the celestials they once worshipped now stand at her side too* I. Am Empress Lucifer Morningstar. Queen of the 9. Chosen by Ao. Daughter of Lathander and slayer of my maker Asmodeus. My first breath of the ashen hells was laiden with the blood of Zariels fall as I cleaved her head from her shoulders. I sought to defend the people of this fine city… Only I was met with the innocent you cast out instead. *raises her hand as the celestials bow their heads knowing justice must be made at her hand. The fountain in the cities centre turning red, and then black as the river Styx heeds her call and overflows onto the marbled streets, halting at the feet of the people who’d so eagerly cast out zevlor and the refugees, her voice echoing like thunder as she commands their action* Get in the water… Get in the water… Or I’ll raise the tide so high. All of Elturel will die. Get in the water… Get in the water… *growls as clouds swirl over head, the stink of sulphur filling the air as she lays bare her final warning with a crack of lightning* GET IN THE WATER!! ILL MAKE TIDAL WAVES SO PROFOUND! ALL OF YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WILL DROWN! GET IN THE WATER!!!

The people of elturel: *all sheepishly heed her command and step into the blood of the Styx, transforming into tieflings like those they’d willingly driven from their homes*

surely there's nothing i've forgotten to put in this poll!

Drowning in the golden sand (fragment)

„This is a death match for a reason!”

As the last roaring sounds of a fight quieted down, the whole server went quiet. The area between the Clockers’ and Frog tower was nothing more than a field of debris, mangled by the dynamite dropped from Skynet just hours prior. The stench of sulphur and blood hanged heavy in the air, unmoved by the light breeze. And there was only one person left alive to witness all of that. One lone survivor, who pushed through, pushing everyone else in the process.

It took Martyn a long time to quench his newly found bloodthirst. Now, standing over the bodies of his victims, he wouldn’t dare looking in their empty, glass-like eyes. He turned around, facing the fragmented Bread Bridge and cuffed his blood-soaked sleeves. The metallic taste still lingered in his mouth.

„Well, now that is done... How much do I wait now?”

He quickly glanced at a red wristband and wiped it from some leftover blood. Just over an hour and a half. Not to long ago, it would’ve felt like not enough time... But there was nothing more he could do. No more shelters to raze. No more enemies to quash. No more allies to backstab.

If you enjoyed this, read the rest of Drowning in the golden sand on my AO3! ❤️

Daughter of the Sea (OP AU) - Each sea has a 'daughter' but they are all children of Mother Sea.

The daughters are somewhat based on the elemental directions;

Nemo (Tempest) is the East Blue so she's air.

Fissure (Fizz) is the South Blue, so fire, and she's based on hydrothermal vents.

Maelstrom (Mel) is the West Blue which is water.

Glacier is the North Blue, and even though the north element is earth, because she's the sea her thing is ice.

They all have white hair and eyes; Glacier is snow and ice, Fissure is a carbon dioxide based thermal vent as opposed to a sulphur one (which would be black,) Maelstrom's hair is like the crashing waves, and then Nemo is the wind.

The spirit of Tempest returns to her mother, and Nemo takes her place, and she doesn't understand who or what she is anymore.

'Rescued' from the shores of a deserted island where the Big Top docks for a time (because she doesn't know the water cant keep her there,) and she joins the crew. She discovers that she likes painting, so she does that, along with other menial stuff, like cleaning, and is constantly fighting the urge to throw herself into the sea.

At some point when they're in calm shallow waters, she is allowed to dive into the sea, and through some shenanigans she learns she can't drown. Buggy takes advantage of this by appointing her as his treasure hunter where she dives for all the treasure on the sea floor, like he had originally planned to do before eating the devil fruit.

On one outing, she was diving near a nest of some kind of sea beast, and they naturally like her because she is the sea, so it was a lot of fun! A group of pirate upstarts thought she was an easy target, and while Nathan was acting as a sort of navigator for them; he was only there because they were his way off his home island.

Long story short, the crew out in the open get mauled, and Nathan (the only one who wasn't out on the deck) joins Nemo. He refuses to be a pirate because he doesn't mesh morally with it, and he just wants to see the world, so he claims Nemo as his captain (in a crew of 2 lol) and helps navigate the sea so she isn't going just off of a feeling, and whatever vague rumours or map she can't understand that Buggy gave her. When she's diving he minds the boat.

The whole premise with Nemo and Buggy is that he has somehow failed upwards once again with an aspect of the very sea that rejects him as a devil fruit user now embraces him.
