Never shall I forget my trip through the pits of the HELLAS MOUNDS.
While it was devoid of any important incidents, it filled me with a feeling of overwhelming loss but then again a feeling of hope which I think I must have hinged principally on the antiquity of these long-forgotten corridors. The things which the darkness hid from my objective eye could not have been half so wonderful as the pictures which my imagination wrought as it conjured to life again the ancient peoples of this dying world and set them once more to make their last stand against the swarming hordes deep inside the dead sea bottoms,where they were now intrenched behind an impenetrable barrier of extinction.
In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle, on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots rushing into battle. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed.I saw a great white throne and Him Who sat upon it; the
earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. That day I saw the dead, the great and the small.
The sea had gave up... and all were judged by what they had done. I saw the new earth for the first time, heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.And through the mountains of dirt, we treaded lightly through the rivers of gods, becuase after knowing the hills of cydonia,we would surely lust after the views of olympus mons.
and as my feet drag through piles of mud,we pushed this river with pounds of flesh"
And still....time comes,and passes...
the mist,cradled by the warm breeze, clinging closely to slick knees and disembodied guests all lying down in the green grass and the most wide open fields looking up...while watching the sky come falling down...on top of us.
crushing us, making us bleed to death,we will ride that ferry home to cydonia until we fall asleep and feel at peace.
"Hellas Mounds takes concepts from across an array of genres – post rock's soft/loud atmospheric tension build, post metal's slaying riffs and driving, deep-end rhythms, stoner metal's arid, desert-washed bleach-boned and just a little bit of doom’s guttural screaming thrown into the back of the mix."
-The Silent Ballet.
"This band is one of the most exciting new projects I've seen recently, in a droning, stoner-rock, loud sorta way..." - Phoenix New Times.
