Outputs created during the period of approximately November 2006 to March 2007.
-Phase 1.1 (October 2006 – December 2006) Vision Lunar is an atmospheric, psychedelic/progressive black metal band founded by Alexandre Julien in the fall of 2006. The idea came to him on Friday October 6th of 2006 as he got off the bus on his way home from a day of working at a local café. …
This was always one of my favorite songs from the early days of Soufferance. Prior to the release of “Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the Mind”, it was always this song that I used to show to people. So I made a quicky video on October 11th 2011 with footage from a film called …
Chapter 1: The Very Beginning (August 2006 to September 2006) Mortification Records was my first record label. Prior to its formation, I had self-released material by my other bands, The Slopin Fairy 7 and Throne of Mortality, without any record label affiliation. At the time, I was not aware of the freedom that one could …
Now this album for me was a huge masterpiece. It was a huge load of work and took two and a half years to complete, plus a whole years delay for it to come out. So a grand total of three and a half years struggle and frustration for this one album. But it is …
The history of Vision Solitude is mostly comprised of sporadic ideas that quickly fizzled out. For a long time, I ignored the importance of this project, judging that every occurrence was a mistake and should have been incorporated in other projects. While this is mostly true, I finally took the time to write about all …
I always felt that the original issue of this EP was overlooked. I really didn’t do that much promotion, mainly because I knew that the full length would be so different from the bits put on it. But by mid-June 2009, the full length was finally done, and I wanted to revive this ep to …
After the first Vision Sufferance demo came out in October of 2006, I didn’t plan on continuing this band. But in January of 2007 I started recording songs that did not fit in any of my active bands, Vision Lunar or Throne of Mortality. Some of these new songs helped form Vision Éternel and some just …
There isn’t much to say about the band itself, because it was just a folder to store all my death metal ideas. It was never planned as a band because I knew I wasn’t good enough to play death metal or thrash metal. But the songs themselves have a story and I can do my …
This was a compilation put together by Aurélien (Der.Walsch/Lansquenet, from Triskalyon). We started the Street Metal Forum together in 2006 a year later we collaborated musically for Gallia Fornax. He started putting together this compilation in 2007 and advertised to find bands from members of the forum. I cannot verify this but I think that …
During my days in Triskalyon I became fascinated with the idea of fallen archangels. I had been interested in the Satanic bible since 2005 when I was with Brandi, but it wasn’t until 2006 or 2007 that I finally bought Paradise Lost by John Milton. When Triskalyon was lacking members and I invented my double, …
After I gave up the making of Silk Winter, I messed around a little bit with some ideas for making a very introspective film. It was going to be a feature film about a very depressed teenager. A lot of Hitchcock influences once again, from the shots to the themes and the old fashion non-sexual …
I started working on this compilation in February of 2007. It was supposed to feature one or two songs from every band that was part of Triskalyon at the time. However, some bands had nothing recorded (Darklink, Unkwiss and Vision Pariah) or had nothing that they felt was worth sharing with the public (Azag-Thoth and …
There have been many different version of the Triskalyon legacy. Changes were due to memory loss, emotional games and personal pride. But this is the true story. This is how it really went down. No bullshit, just as best as I can try to remember and with the help of ex-members. For the sake of …
Gallia Fornax was a black ambient solo project formed by Triskalyon member Der.Walsch some time in 2005. Like the members of Les Legions Noires, I wanted the members in Triskalyon to have side projects together. Der.Walsch originally came to me in January of 2007, suggesting we do “Vision Funeral Doom” together using the newly recorded songs …
By this point Triskalyon was going down. And Lunar was on its way too. I had recorded a few new demos between “Luna Maria” and this, and it seemed that no one else but me liked them. And it hurt me really bad. I’ll have to make an individual post about one of those songs …
Une sombretée dans mon regard Une honte dans un trou noir Un chemin sans horizon Une pluie pour ma trahison Se vers de vin entre mes mains Me soule les veines de ce venin Je brise cette crise sans aucune démise Mais pourtant je cris pour finir cette vie
Various lyrics written in Feb and March of 2007, and others in June of 2009. Les gouttes coulent et tombent de la montagne Sur le sol une érosion se forme Les sentiments se cachent, les journées passent, les années passent Enfin le sol s’est engravé, et tout peut maintenant s’effondrer — Une larme scintille, une …
Interview sent by Jussi Gough on February 20, 2007 Answered on February 20, 2007 Never published Dark Angel Promotions / Dark Angel Promotion What does Triskalyon mean? There is mention of this on the band site, but with only each person giving their description? Triskalyon is a half made up word. Of course the …
My tears fall tonight On the ground that beholds Its loneliness of pastimes And buried to self freight Up the forever lost She cares none For the emotional frost And sins of forgone Forgetful sorrow Drawn to inability A serenade for morrow My translucent misery
this album was a turning point, especially in hindsight. i used to tell people on Myspace “this will be a special release, it will even have a music video” and it was held back until valentines day. released triskalyon website at the same time. the last chords played in Love Within Extended reflect the …
-The Slopin Fairy 7 (2003) “When You’re Not Meant for Love” was the second song that I ever composed. It was written in June or July of 2003, shortly after the first song that I wrote, “Break”. The title was very self-explanatory. I continuously failed to find a girl whose feelings were reciprocal. This was …
To understand how Throne of Mortality formed, we must go back a year before, around October 2004, at the end of the Scapegoat phase. While attending a New Jersey high school, J.P. Stevens, I met Howard Change (Sabbat) by coincidence, as I was wearing a Mr. Bungle t-shirt or hoodie (I had both). That autumn …
“Love within Narcosis” is without a doubt my landmark, at least according to my closest friends who understand my music and understood Triskalyon completely. “Narcosis” was I think the third or fourth song to be recorded for Vision Éternel, and it was a really cool riff progression, but I just couldn’t get to record it …
These were the two songs composed in February of 2007 (exact date unknown) that caused me to start doubting Triskalyon. There was also a few zines/posers affair, but principally it was inner troubles within the members. Triskalyon technically could have continued with just me, but it would of been pointless. Darklink (Phil Altobelli) and Surhim were …
Prior to shooting the footage for Vision Éternel’s music video for “Love within Narcosis” (only days later), I experimented with my parent’s JVC GR-DVM90 camcorder. I had initially used it in The Slopin Fairy 7 photoshoot, then had dug it out again to film Silk Winter and then finally for another photoshoot. But it had been collecting dust and I …
I knew what it was like to be rushed for a new song with “Luna Borea”, so I didn’t allow myself to be in that situation again with “Luna Maria”. It was on the late night of January 13th 2007, two days before my birthday, and I was jamming some stuff, already plugged in my …
This could be another of the lost photoshoots, but chances are that I only wanted a new picture of myself with my hair getting longer. This was again taken with my parent’s JVC GR-DVM90 camcorder, but for some reason I left the windescreen mode on, maybe to make it look cool. This was taken at my …
Is there anyone to hear the call For life of the man will soon fall Abrupt collision of proclamation Tortured proportion of finest occasion Body drifting over dead horizons Loving satisfaction of perfection Attention and mistrustful affection Comfort from every infusion
I believe that this was the second music photoshoot I ever did. I borrowed my dad’s digital camera and went outside my parent’s house at 92 Stephenville in Edison New Jersey. It was already night and being in January it was cold. A lot more picture were likely taken but only these were kept.
“L’esprit dans le ciel” is one of the songs I am the most proud of of my entire musical career. And it is for sure the song that “put me on the map” when it comes to people hearing about my music back in 2007. And if you ask any fans of Lunar what the …
I don’t remember which girl this was about, but I know she drove me nuts! A safe guess would be that it was influenced by the Throne of Mortality song “Sa Voix Dans Ma Tête”, which was about Dylan Seymour.
I drew this when I was selling Christmas Trees in NYC during December 2006.
Dark and fucking cold Feeble music brings my goal Children to every eye Each makes me want to die Harmonies of distortion Bring together my destruction Squeals are my possession Numb with forever frustration Light burns my heart With my tears that depart Fire burning me inside Ending the potential life Late nights of desperation Stuck …
This story is very similar to the past release “Lunar Sky”. It was the same idea, the same views, the same concept and pretty much the same sound. Except it sounded a little bit fuller, because I was really taking advantage of doubling my guitars. It was slightly inspired by the Necrophobic song “Roots of …
I saw a willow tree while working earlier in the month, my cousin told me it was his favorite type of tree, and it was always one of mine.
This was a very weird drawing. I think I was trying to make an ultimate black metal character, which was influenced by Meyhna’ch from Mutillation. I never cut myself so this has no connection with myself, other than the hairstyle was pretty similar.
Felt for death I wish had met This night of pain Brings me my realm Blood to flow Will morrow glow I see this go by Finally life will die Eternal death A peaceful slept Grant passion For once conception
Black feathers to a lost shepherd Residue of thirst and agonic burst Soft darkness remembering bitterness A sweet freshness of missed tenderness Chant echoing once misdoing Graceful flowing and numb endorming
This poem was never finished. I decided to post this simply because I wanted documented. Memories don’t change They howl in vain Every dying night of rain Your face will remain
I had my mind set on doing something special with the Lunar schedule. The moon had been very important to me in my past creations, being part of the first Throne of Mortality lyrics I ever wrote, and now having its own project. In mid October I started working on a new Lunar song, and …
This was supposed to be an idea for a logo of the first Throne of Mortality EP, “Monumental Dedication”.
In the depths of the night Visions of you will come Will I run away and hide Or shall I go on to strive The will is stronger And the furry gets bigger Take my throat with fear At any moment you come near Awaiting for the moment to be Until for you, again I …
My obsession with Faith No More has been something ever growing, and it doesn’t look like it will ever die. Everyone who knows me, even slightly, will know that Faith No More is my favourite band. Tom Nunziata introduced me to Faith No More in the summer of 2003 while we were working at the …
I registered the Street Metal Forum domain on March 20th 2006. It was named after the Abigail album “Forever Street Metal Bitch”, which I had recently discovered with Howie Change (Sabbat in Throne of Mortality). He had also gotten me into Mütiilation, and that was the beginning of of Les Legions Noires for me. I …
-Story Development with Howard (September 2005 – December 2005) “Silk Winter” was a short film script I wrote from September of 2005 to May of 2006, with a quick revival in the first quarter of 2007. It was based on a poem written by Howard Change (Sabbat in Throne of Mortality) of the same name. …
I first met Thomas Nunziata, Jr. during the summer of 2003 while I was working at the American Red Cross in Plainfield, New Jersey. I had been told by my school, New York Military Academy that doing volunteer work would be in my favor in view of the school board. And so I started doing …
