bmurator This album is simply stunning! You may not like every song but if you fail to be moved by this epic work, you are either dead or very close to it. The whole album deals with such an unusual subject as well. i wonder what Count Carl von Cosel (Georg Carl Tänzler) would say if he knew an entire death / doom album was going to be dedicated to his obsession almost a century after it happened ... :) Highly recommended!!!

Sergio Tragedy Great compositions, and amazing atmospheres. The subject of the album is so bizarre (in the good sense of the word) that kept me thinking and wondering about it for days.

Dancing With Armless Carcass (Lyrics) Along the way We died and lived We killed and saved We blamed and forgave You look Hideous, I couldn't care less I picked your body to touch your consumed flesh Follow my steps as I dance and weep Your bones and remains are mine to keep Dance with me, my eternal flame Your solid warmth I reclaim Let me guide you through the seas Hear my plea, I am on my knees Let us dance under the mourning moons As the night bleeds these dreadful tunes Sway with me, I still the same Your past mistakes are not a shame I hold your carcass forevermore Will live forever around the shores Let me guide you through the seas Hear my plea, I am on my knees
2.
A Ring For Decomposed Finger Although your hand doesn't feel the same It shivers whenever I call your name I kept this ring with me for years It will shield us from all the fears Your fingers look darker now But to keep them safe I forever vow To be your guardian and your light To watch your corpse through the night Let me embrace you once and for all Lets burn together, lets die, lets fall The world would never accept this bond I lost my sanity, humanity and beyond
3.
Kissing The Lipless Head Caressing your face, always gives me pleasure Even when you're dead, to me you're a treasure With lipless head you stare for hours I filled your chest with crimson flowers Kiss me now, kiss me more I forgot your lies, like I did before Your poison was always enough for me It devoured me, like a storming sea Bite my lips with your decayed skin I won’t let God's plan win A love between life and death is not a sin It was always the case within
4.
Bridal Dress For A Corpse I've always imagined how do you look in white With consumed flesh, what a majestic sight It's like this color was created for you To cover the worms, your neck, and your bones too You stand still with a veil covering your face Haunting the dreams, the time and space The fabric streams smoothly on your shoulder As the night passes, we grow older Move with this bridal dress, dance around Until we fall, fall to the ground A hideous corpse with a gorgeous dress A mummified virgin with burning bless
5.
The Ceremony Of Marrying A Mummy Without tongue she promised to stay (Is it real anymore?) To never leave, lie or betray (Or I just lost control?) We gathered here to unite our remains To break free from all the chains This commitment is bleak and cold With one is dead, and one to grow old Without tongue she promised to stay To never leave, lie or betray Without sanity I pledge to share Love, Despair Grief and care May this ring be blessed and holy May we rot together, forever and slowly With this ring I thee wed The skinless beauty, the past, the dead You can lay down peacefully in this dusty bed And I will give you what’s left of my life instead
6.
Orchestral Burial In a blink of an eye We travel across the skies And as we waste our days The earth roams astray "We are a lost piece of stone, Wondering through space and time" Chaos is breathing everywhere And life was never fair Peace was damaged to the core We lost the essence forevermore "Humanity writes its own ending, With an ink, made of the blood of the innocent"
7.
The Scent Of Decayed Face The stench fills up the shore Your skin's smell I can't restore And it strikes me to the core That I can't feel it anymore The way it smelled can’t be forgotten It was tattooed here, but now it’s rotten It kept me breathing for years and years Whenever I need it, it appears One day you could open your eyes Your skin could get softer and I would hear your cries I will be here, waiting that day To hold you tight, along the way You're not dead yet, you can’t be I can't send your spirit free I need you, as long as I am still here You need me, and I know that my dear You're not dead yet You're not dead yet You can’t be.
8.
My Withered Admirer Like a rose, you withered and passed away Despite all the wishes, the dreams and the prays Your love didn’t stand a chance We wasted all the pale romance Now the mind can't take the fact That your body is drained and cracked With all the ugliness of your open chest I feel my soul is still obsessed The care you gave when you were alive Was the reason my mind survived And now your corpse are mine to save And your lost features I will engrave You'll look charming like you did before That’s what I'll live and survive for
9.
Saline Whispers I want you there To be alive and well Warming me whenever the sun gets cold I want you there To be dead motionless, with no lies You died inside of me, But somehow, you're still there, I buried you, But you keep appearing with despair I want you dead forever, But you still whisper, and I still hear, I buried you, But you keep breathing on my ear, The process of analyzing this, stopped for a while With mummified memories of you, I can make a smile I want nothing from you now, I said enough The effort of despising you was extremely rough The wheel of life continues, with or without you The gruesome reality goes on, with or without you

Inspired by the infamous Carl Tanzler case (“The Man Who Loved a Mummy”), the Jordanian one-man project The Dead Sea are back with the concept album “The Ceremony of Marrying a Mummy”, a mixture of atmospheric, funeral, gothic and melodic doom/death metal sound to create the most gloomy vision and environment for all the doom metal fans to sink in deeply.
