Further In Evil

pinkytheent Marthe returns!!! Awesome to hear her back and she does not disappoint. Within awaits a book of wrath, a grimy manifesto of blackened punk fury, incendiary and venomous. Marthe effectively carves her place of riot grrrl-style spitting punk, crabwalking into the icy night with the best of the Norwegian black metal wave. Pure, barbaric, atavistic, driving. A beautiful borderland, full of stern rocks and fierce wind, between the realms of all the heavy musics we love. Favorite track: Victimized.

beer_metal_dbeat-666 Sounds like Amebix and Bathory, with a sludgy twist and very pissed off vocals. Nothing to dislike here, love every moment of it. Favorite track: Victimized.

Middle Earth This is excellent Favorite track: Dead To You.

I RIDE ALONE All I loved, I loved alone Stole my past, I bowed my head in surrender Acceptance of my grief Through countless grim winters Fostered wolves when they starved Got eaten alive when they healed But in the coldest storm I locked my door And looked in the eyes those who came back and died For the blood of my fights For all those silent words For all your unraised swords I ride alone Pale moon, floating grains of dust Numb, oppressed No winner nor victory Ripped fortune My life, laughter, my pain, pass away Hatred, affraight, wretch Piece by piece, tamed my monsters Got an army, we'll rise to be For the blood of my fights For all those silents words For all your unraised swords I'm everything, everywhere, forever I ride alone [Whispers] I took the hand you told me to hold Respected the oath, swallowed each word Inhale, each drop of my fears Exhale, lungs filled in tears Desecrated, drowned me Treaded my turmoil, with your silence and deeds Surrendered my corpse, these waves my grave Despair, I remembered my awe Emerged, forged my bones In a cold white dagger, I'm ashore Undead, gashed and fooled Your forehead is wet, I'm sieging your door Tell me the reason, tell me the reason Why you blew me like dust
2.	Dead To You 06:09	lyrics	buy track
DEAD TO YOU [Soft Words, Hard Tears] Lost, self crushed No sleep, reprieve Breath, daze Cold stare, hollow Dead to you Forget my name, forget my soul I'm mine, mine alone Dead to you What have I been, is all I have Estranged, in haze Astray, in the swallowing mist I existed not if wished enough Been called away Feel, the wind of my pain Say you forgot I once belonged Icy clouds Where memories die Conflicting skies where once were stars [Just alone, the night comes, I'm wolf of the moon] Begged for a memory Music’s now lost Poured roses to shut door Crossed garlands, burnt sage, cursed my mouth Trust’s wrath Let me sleep the night of pure hearts For no grace is real And the cold remains And this cold remains Watered stones In the home of tears and blue Not a prayer when I burn The night away Dead to you You’re the worst that defines me
3.	Further In Evil 05:18	lyrics	buy track
FURTHER IN EVIL Hisses, charmed snakes At nighfall you told yout tale My stars collide What's left after tide? Would you blame? Sand castles that fade? Bloomed thorns In my blank realms No need no saviour, no need no king Doves of mistrust Vermin gift of truth Sore chest, frost now is my muse Lone lies lair Do you remember the rain? I kissed myself further in evil Shadowed my soul Perfumed my wounds with salty drops from My dried eyes Can't suffocate a fire with fire Soul never at peace Return into darkness Exposed my sins Fell victorious My lips pause It's vain to regret Lone lies lair Do you remember the rain? I kissed myself further in evil [No fairies can heal The curse of dying so many times] Have you ever seen the heart of a serpent On the desperate edge of my star crossed faith In misery when the sun goes down and dies On my new age of pain I worship my void I blamed distant stars, I blamed lost gods You won't see me suffer from the gates of my hate Lone lies lair Do you remember the rain? I kissed myself further in evil
4.	Victimized 09:11	lyrics	buy track
VICTIMIZED Blinded, ghosted, deceived By the death on two legs of your shadow You cursed my footsteps I tried to empower myself but I failed No strength is enough To tame me I gazed in the abyss of fire So now I'm the flame Do the reasons lay in my madness? You destroyed my temple, I became who now I am I'll rule the nights I'll feast with your dreams I'll dress in black 'till your last mortal breath Evil calls evil Flames call flames Your oxygen is my spark, I'll extinguish your soul On your mortal spoils shall I feast I'll veil your sight with the wind Of the freezing sea, winter sea Freezing sea, winter sea That makes all so hard Father of all...give me the power [To] Gather from this sunset fire Burn your heart within my hands Victimized Victimized
5.	To Ruined Altars 07:34	lyrics	buy track
To Ruined Altars...(You Light No Lights) I sorrowed for all those shattered moments Those moons and suns, alone As a dry flame I smile to the torch of doom Under the bell of misery my memories Are dark books you burnt while walking away Pieces of me you left, dropped Among the seeds you stole Nobody saved my chair, when I left I was long time gone You danced, in the delightful lights While I sat alone Once we shined together then, you had the choice Called me with the wrong name While I smiled apart Befriended my shadows and the spirits of time You cut me in two, my blood Is the venom in me Magic of evil, vengeance will be Flames from my lips, endless grim Ice from my teeth, rain and weep From my eyes, wind Gifed of time but wicked at heart Treasure of fortune, you misfortune torture This storm enhances my rainbow But everywhere your eyes will find me [The night, the spell, the blood] Killed my candles for To ruined altars...you light no lights Now you lay where the golden grapes are But days will be nights And shadows will take over sparks As dismissed clothes, you stepped on me To reach your guests at your feast Foerever gloom ahead of me Loneliness reads my palm Now that I am no longer a need You left me in bones, chewed my flesh Spit on my soul Now you lay where the golden grapes are But days will be nights And shadows will take over sparks Days will be nights...
6.	Sin In My Heart 04:00	lyrics	buy track
SIN IN MY HEART (Siouxsie and the Banshees cover from "JuJu" 1981) Sin in my heart... Flying like a dart Oh sin in my heart It's beginning to start... When you're lying like a tart Oh sin in my heart When you grovel at my feet Oh sin in my heart It's short and sweet Sin in my heart... Swift as a dart sin in my heart Oh sin in my heart... When you grovel at my feet Keep it short and sweet Sin in my heart...

about

Further In Evil is the debut full length from one-woman metal band, Marthe, which is due via Southern Lord on October 20th. An atmospheric and aggressive blend of punk, Further In Evil is a shift in gears from her musical background in the anarcho-punk scene and inspired by riot grrrl, crust and d-beat. The lyrics are full of rage and the music is full of strength; it has the power of Bathory and the sadness of Tiamat, tinged with the stench of Amebix.

Marthe is, at heart, a solo bedroom project— born out of introversion and a desire to explore new horizons and landscapes alone. “Around 2012, I started feeling the need to express myself in a heavier and more atmospheric way,” explains Marzia, the woman behind the Marthe project. “I coincidentally started hiking more and more… getting closer to lonely soundscapes: my life, feelings and moods started being more introspective and introverted.” She continues, “Marthe suddenly became my comfort zone, my therapy, my shadow of loneliness, my book of truths, my mirror, my alter ego. Locking the door and disappearing in darkness recording music alone became something so powerful… I probably never really met myself before that.”

The narrative of Further In Evil is “a journey into evil. I consider it an epiphany in growing armor to make myself stronger. The title means entering the gates of darkness, becoming cold and detached so as not to suffer anymore,” explains Marzia, the woman behind the Marthe project. The source of many of the lyrics comes from a place of betrayal, and grief at losing “people who were central to me.” She comments, “we are alone”, but expels it as a statement of empowerment, rather than sadness - “the strength is ours.” As well as being introspective, Marthe’s lyrics look outwards at “contexts of injustice and suffering, when the main feeling is not having a voice.” Marthe’s music takes influence from other non-musical media as well - she cites the mood, atmosphere and colors of old school Italian horror movies, and continually comes back to nature as a source of inspiration.
