"I love those subtle little snarly vocal passages throughout this thing"

"subtle??

It's literally a demon snarling in your ears with almost nothing else going on lol"



In 'Succubare', at about 4:30, we can briefly hear Naas' whispers in one of his sleep paralysis episodes. I went through an identical experience when I was younger and I remember it was quite scary. Being between dream and reality, without being able to move.

I've been suffering from sleep paralysis since I was 5 years old, as far as I can remember

It's horrifying, but in a strange way whenever I get an episode these days it doesn't startle me all that much anymore because I've already experienced it so many times

You've gotten used to it. Interesting how we can adapt to almost anything, even traumatic experiences.

This is my first time hearing these guys but damn, this album is great. Definitely a contender for black metal AOTY.

If you love this, give Aoratos a spin. Naas' other BM projects, Bestia Arcana and Nightbringer, also deserve your attention.

i have depersonalisation disorder so my life is like a dream anyway but also managed to get sleep paralysis as well



I mean it isn't quite as terrifying now it's sort of like I'm going through the motions "shadow demon arrives just on cue... looking sharp mate...I'm spooked. Do you want to maybe sit down and have a civil conversation this time? No? You just want to lurk in my peripherals and taunt me then suffocate me? whatever just make it quick"

^ Lol yeah same for me

Whenever I get an episode of sleep paralysis these days, it's just a "let's get it over with" kind of feeling
I mean it's still eerie, but somehow there's not much of an impact anymore

I've had depersonalisation/derealization for a few years, but these days it only becomes noticeable when I'm tired, stressed out or when I actively pay attention to it
Weird, but it's also something I learned to live with and the more I managed to live with it, the less of an impact it began to have

I'm not very aware of the symptoms related to depersonalization disorder, but it shouldn't be easy to manage on a daily basis, namely at work or in tasks that need more focus.

Not sure why I'm sharing this but since we're on the topic of dreams...

I had a recurring dream for a few years where I would awaken in my bed but things were especially tenebrous and surreal so I knew that I hadn't really woken up, then I would float off my bed down the hall into the kitchen, like I was a puppet being joggled (and I sleep nude so I imagine I the demon got quite the erotic display), I would reach the kitchen and there would be a severely disfigured retarded person who had an electric knife or something crudely planted into a stump hand (think I pinched that concept from some horror thing I watched), anyway it would carve me to shreds and It was pretty agonizing.

But the last time I had the dream I was able to sneak up behind it and put a kitchen knife through it's neck...so I was bloody celebrating then suddenly it turned into like a news segment and people started booing and the newsreader was saying something like 'heartless murder of a down syndrome man in his own home' and I look down and he's now just a regular downs guy....and family and friends were all shaking their heads in disgust.



But I never had the dream again.



So I guess the mini boss of my dreams was a mentally impaired guy and I'm a bad person for killing him

@Thaclassic



Damn I wasn't expecting to find anyone else here with it.

I got it from a bad trip in 2010 and the first years were definitely the hardest, but over time...

well I'm not sure if you get used to it or if I just forgot what feeling normal feels like but it's not really impacting my life anymore.

I do still feel like I'm phasing on the edge of reality sometimes, especially when yeah I'm tired or stressed, and outdoors.

Once I learned more about the neurology behind it, I wasn't so afraid (I thought that I was becoming schizophrenic or demented). It's still frustrating though.



I've thought about studying neuroscience to eventually help improve the understanding of these sort of neurological disorders...but it looks fucking hard and the prospects aren't too good
