If you prefer missing out on the mind blowing packaging of this album, you may alternatively download this album for only half the price. You however get a special bandcamp edit of this album. The original CD version is a single track long. For timing purposes it had to be cut down into 20 minute or so parts to fit on the website.
Limited Edition Digipak CD with Bonus Disc and Signed Card
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
This limited edition is presented in a gorgeous A5 (DVD size) digipak, with beautiful artwork created by Costin Chioreanu. Buying from this page is coming directly from the band, so all orders get a bonus disc full of demos and rarities, plus a handmade, personally signed card, directly addressed to the buyer.
Only 50 bonus material was made, so these are the last few copies!
Keep in mind that the money from the sells of this album help to pay the shipping fees (as the shipping fees are purposely selected to be very low in cost). I hardly make any money on these after paying the store fees and recording material. So every purchase helps!
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 larme scintille près de ma main
Une voix résonne pour ma pitié
Mais aucun amour ne vient me chercher
En cette faim noire, je souffre de votre beauté
Nous sommes tous morts, mais pas de suite enterrés
Je pense à vous, quand ma vie se remet en question
Mais je ne cesse de vous épargner
La seule ambition est de devenir immortel, et puis de mourir
Je ne suis pas sûr de ce soir,
Mais jamais je n’ai été si seul
La luminance de la lumière scintille dans mes yeux
Et l’ombre qui vient de dehors
Ressemble à mon estomac
Je me demande ce qui me fait ainsi
Mais seule la création peut résoudre cette énigme
Ce voyage à mon manger
Est une vie de tristesse
A chaque soir c’est le même sort
Je n’en peux plus de cette peine
Personne a qui parler, personne pour m’aider
Je te vois qui sourit à ma douleur
Et je me vois mourir de chagrin
Tous les soirs un peu plus loin
Le gouttes qui tombent de mes yeux
Seront les dernières à me mépriser
Une vague lointaine d’un nuage bleu
about
"Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the Mind" is the first full-length album by Soufferance. As a single song of 65 minutes it represents a concept brilliantly crafted by Alexandre Julien.
This album is a dedication to a load of authors that have influenced Alexandre Julien throughout his life, and in this masterpiece, he creates an audio dreamscape that flows like reading a book. In fact this is likely going to become your soundtrack while reading from now on.
These travels are a dedication to the following bright minds; Jonathan Swift, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, Ernest Hemingway, H.P. Lovecraft, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Baudelaire, Émile Nelligan, Miguel de Cervantes, Moliere, Daniel Defoe, Alexander Pope, Herman Melville, T.H. White, John Steinbeck, Frederick Lawrence Green. This is the first of several books in a series of explanation and self projection.

I used to be in an atmospheric black metal project, and unfortunately it never went as far as planned, but this full discography was released, and it is worth hearing! Soufferance
