Ancient Shell

I am older than I can even begin to remember.
My shell is cracked, and amongst the cracks the dust and the slime clings.
It clings to me and it is me. A putrid shell of a creature.
Sometimes I think it will consume me one day, and I will begin to feed upon myself until finally I can die in this Tomb. But that day may never come.
This ancient shell feels heavier as the years drag on and how I wish I could be young and free.
But it is just me.
Alone, broken and imprisoned in this fetid tomb.

Slime Prison

I feel like the walls are closing in on me.
They stand there. Dark, bleak and covered in slime.
The smell is wretched and unimaginable.
I am imprisoned in my own filth and oh what I would do for some fresh clean air.
Even just for a short moment.
Even, if it was my last.
Even, if I had to live hear for a hundred more years.
But alas, this prison is mine and mine alone.
And these walls are my only friends.

I like to draw pictures sometimes.
Pictures of all my new friends. I talk to them all day and they are my family.
Talking to them is the only thing keeping me sane down here. Sometimes they talk back and I feel great but most of the time, they say nothing.
And then it angers me. And I lash out at them.
My only friends gone forever.
But, I can always make more.
Oh how I wash for a real friend.

It's so dark down here.
My eyes adjusted to the light a long, long time ago but I can still barely see.
Sometimes I wonder if I went blind years ago and everything is just a figment of my imagination.
Sometimes I wonder if I could ever see at all.
But no, the most boring dream I've could ever have dreamt of would be a masterpiece compared to this dark, slimy hell.
Other times when I'm feeling most anxious I worry that the entire world has been plunged into darkness and the sun's rays shine no more.
I would live for decades more just to take a glimpse of the sun.
To feel it's warmth.
But I am trapped.
And my eternity is dark.

Endless Trail

One day I had an idea.
Probably the first idea I've had in countless years.
My slime follows me everywhere.
It is my shadow.
And it is my soul.
But how could I forget it tells me where to go?
How can I be lost if I always know where I came?
And if I follow the endless trail on and on and on and on and on and on and on where will it take me?
Did I not once live amongst the grass and the creatures of light?
Then why can't I go back?
This was my idea.
I would follow the trail.
It might take me centuries but it will lead me back!
And when I reach the end perhaps I can be free!
I have a purpose now. And if it takes me to my last breath and my thoughts fade out I will know that I tried.
I'll know I died trying to be free.

Tomb Snail Glasgow, UK
Tomb Snail is the musical offering of Lord Slime.
Lo-Fi and noisy Dungeon Synth from the depths of the ancient tomb.
If you like Tomb Snail, you may also like:

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature.
