Rik Powdrill Superb follow up to their equally excellent Hiraeth. The musicianship is amazing, and every song crafted with care and attention to detail. Definitely one of my albums of 2022. Thank you Null for this amazing album.

Alice M. Getting Cân Bardd / Sojourner vibes at times, but the overall packaging is a bit blacker. Nice tiny symphonic touches as well. Furiously melodic.
And the purchase includes all the instrumentals as bonus.

torontogothic Hearing the evolution of musicianship and songwriting with each new Null release has been an absolute pleasure. Null albums are musical journeys that will transport you if you give in to them. Give yourself a break from life on this plane, get these albums and let your imagination go… Favorite track: Those Days.

PKMetal It's a rare achievement to perfectly blend the epic and the atmospheric sides of black metal. I'd say it was impossible, except Null keeps doing it. The purchase also gets you a full instrumental version, which I hugely appreciate as the perfect working soundtrack when vocals would be distracting. As with the last outing, a stellar production rivals any major label release. Amazing work. Thank you from nextdoor in NC!

Some time ago while walking my path A dark spell was cast upon my soul But now I am whole The spell once held its grasp on me Corrupting my conscious and memories I sought an escape from This worthless hate Searching for answers in all the old tales Of myths and legends and devious spells Cast away this darkness and hate I will now re-write my own fate Now the that night starts to subside My mind and soul unified I begin to tell that... I am breaking the spell
2.
Origin 06:00
When I first found this path Enchanted with feelings of my own past Then I started walking The trees started talking to me I started to believe That I could achieve The things I once could never conceive My fate is my own to weave My soul, my goals... Were forged by the forest And wandering alone by the light of the moon By the light of the moon By the sun of high noon I will keep walking this path Forever and always and now I ask that you... Come with me And be part of my journey Where the winds do blow Where the spirits go Where our souls do plead to be free Where the ravens fly Near the raging seas That's where we'll find our peace Our souls will be free by the end of the day Just follow me I'll show you the way I started to believe That I could achieve The things I once Could never conceive
3.
Back Then 04:00
And back when I was young Looking to the blue skies and horizon It was then that I knew the things that I must do To free my soul once and for all I looked to the stars as guiding lights Day after day, night after night That I spent alone with the land in harmony Back then when I was free I hope that I can take all of you Along with me on this journey It has barely began but I'm certain The best is yet to come
4.
Much has changed But the longing still remains The sleeping forest still full of lore And secrets of ancient memories Hidden beneath the snow-blown trees The longing remains And the seasons shape the land The winter will follow This darkness leaves me hollow And I am longing for winter once more So that I can explore The sleeping forest full of lore The bleeding moonlight still shines bright All throughout the winter's night The cold winds of the winter are howling again Now I'll take you back Where it all began Longing for the winter night to come and heal my soul Longing for an end to the darkness so that I may be whole
5.
As the winds turned from whisper to roar Then did I find what I was searching for They came in the night speaking to me Revealing my ancient memories From an ethereal realm A realm where the darkness and the light collide A world where the day and the night coincide Revealing the secrets of forgotten lore This is exactly what I was searching for Years I spent gazing into the night In this realm between darkness and light Between the darkness and the light Much I did learn and there's much to learn still This I embrace with an undying will The voices said to stop and listen And then they did share their fair ancient wisdom This ethereal realm it felt so pure An aura of peace where no evil did stir The beings were strange but they spoke so sure Of the old times and those who came first They came from the stars seeking knowledge and might A world they did find where the future was bright Centuries did pass and just as they warned All of their knowledge became forlorn We must go back and return to the past In order to ensure that our world shall last They still remain in the astral plane Some go there to speak but they return insane To find out the answers to how did it start Seek them out only with the purest heart They weep in their realm for their wisdom did tell Of ancient memories from an ethereal realm
6.
Old Summer 06:00
Oh the summer sun Come to take me back to the older days Where I found my way Amongst the leaves so alive and green Dark shadows dancing on the forest floor How can the season of the sun feel so dark and mysterious Memories are flooding back to me Of a time I dwelled in misery The sound of the calling forest trees Listening to birds feeling the breeze I spent a lot of time out here Conquering all of my fears Conquering my fears The illusion of sorrow Will be gone by tomorrow These were the days of hot sun rays Old Summer I am coming back to you I will return When time passed so slowly Why now does it go so quickly for me
7.
The echoes of torment No longer haunt my soul Now I am whole And I am at home But back then was crucial to my discovery The moonlight shines on me tonight The crystalline stars shining so bright They sing a song about the past The echoes are gone at last The time I waged a war on my mind
8.
Curse 05:06
For I wondered and wandered And wandered in wonder My spirit did storm Like lightning and thunder The fear was still there Tearing me asunder Now I have grown And the curse has shown That the light was still there Now this is me my destiny For I wondered and wandered And wandered in wonder My spirit stormed Like lightning and thunder Now this is me This is my curse my destiny It still haunts me My curse my destiny Please don't worsen and we'll stay at peace
9.
Those Days 04:01
Do you remember Those days felt so pure I try to return Always trying to go back to those days Those days Constantly longing for Yearning so deeply for the feelings of those days As the stars align The truth we shall find Just look deep inside Our spirits will fly Our spirits fly Fly back to those days Those days were so true If only I could show you Maybe I can Just be at peace with the land Then the stars aligned I knew it was time I looked so deep inside And my soul did fly My soul did fly away It flew back to those days
10.
Momentum 05:00
Get up you're the only one Who can create the life you want Drown out the external doubt And become your greatest self And rise To the occasion Rise Build your momentum and show them what you are You've come this far in your daily mental war The night is falling And the moon is calling you So come and join me As I listen to the trees Listen to all their stories Of a bygone past of glory You've come too far To lose your momentum Once you start on this path there's no turning back There is no turning back Through the ice and the storms and snow and rain There is no darkness, no sorrow fears nor pain It's up to you to prevent them From stealing all your momentum
11.
When the nights were dark The landscape was starkly grim and cold These were the nights in those earlier days That I spent alone so confused and afraid Not afraid of the dark but of thoughts which that linger So deeply inside your own mind When nights were dark When the nights were so dark and the days felt so long When nothing was ever wrong This is where it begins The story of my origin When the nights were so dark and the days were so bright Back then when everything felts so right
12.
Antimatter 04:22
Not everything has to be one way There's room for growth at the start of every day Forgot what you know everything has changed And nothing can ever remain the same Your only choice is to embrace it And accept the change And when the worlds collide New things are born New worlds are born each and every day Inside your head What do the voices say Matter collides with antimatter and new things arise From the gaps in time Patterns repeating inside my mind Everything evolves in time A new darn arises Full of twists and surprises You never know what will come next You never know what to expect Black metal will always be my home but I have a different vision To blur the lines and boundaries This is my mission

about

This album is about the musical "Origin" of Null. It contains the atmospheric elements of Lore of a Sleeping Forest, the folk and heavier elements of Hiraeth, and it's own flavor. It is the most "traditional" black metal album of Null, as it pays respects to some of the earliest influences such as Windir, Gorgoroth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Immortal, etc. Expect a lot of blast beats, intense riffs, and of course... tremolo picking!

The lyrical concepts of Origin are actually quite contrary to the darker musical style. Much of the lyrics are about the journey through the darkness on the way to discovering the light. There are references to leaving behind darkness, sadness, and hatred... I aim to empower any and every individual to always be the best version of themselves to themselves and everyone else. I encourage my listeners to push hard in order to achieve their hopes and dreams, and hope this music can be a companion for you on this journey. Ultimately that has become the meaning behind Null, spoken in a spiritual context and referring to my own journey and experiences in life.

Like Lore of a Sleeping Forest and Hiraeth, a lot of the album is composed of material that was actually created while I was a teenager, with some new tracks as well. With this album, Null is almost finally caught up in terms of material, which is very exciting as I look forward to unleashing full creativity as we approach new horizons. For now, enjoy this 79 minute long journey through the Origin story of Null.
