Ash-covered Ghoul One of the best postpunk albums I've heard in ages. Simple as that. Favorite track: Faith Healer.

Mustakhrakh1sh Take The Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus, slam them together, you'd get The Hearse. I gave them a listen after a friend of mine had found them, and boy, do they deliver! I couldn't stop listening, and I can't recommend them enough.
Dark sound with excellent execution, what else is there to look for? Favorite track: Dimming Moon.

Jeff Holt Do NOT be put off by the inverted cross on the cover of this record, suspecting that it must be a metal record. On the contrary, The Hearse have restored my faith in current post punk. Devouring their record has been a dark feast of the same flavor as The Sisters of Mercy's first album, and, even more strongly, of Bauhaus and Christian Death, as well as, more subtly, Joy Division, particularly when Joy Division played live, and were a bit angry. Give this a listen, esp. "Depression." Favorite track: Depression.

We bleed black our love consumed In our darkest hour are heaven-less tombs A flesh so white, a mortal soul, trapped in a body that never grows old We bleed black as daylight flickers, we must return to what darkness gave us The taste of blood, the twilight moon, a vision of love and your heart removed n the dark of the night We bleed black as cold as ice A thousand years of slumber and an opening eye Shadowed by the sun and cursed by fate, the silver rays ignite your face We bleed black our bones like dust, hearts like stone, born to lust In a river of blood I bathe in sorrow, thinking of a life with no tomorrow In the dark of the night.

Empire Down 05:01
Follow your heart and then live in sin For acts of love, of love The gift to be alone exists as nothing Shadowed by my own design, i’m a conformist tonight Your life defines who you are, not who you want to be. I stand alone in my empire down, i reach for love, empire down. Reaching for exile, through a frozen heart As i walk to a pale dawn I am searching in the shadows, in this theatre of pain Your life defines who you are, not who you want to be. I stand alone in my empire down, i reach for love, empire down.

Blackout 04:16
He was nurtured from birth and raised by hell The killer instinct he knows too well Within the depths of madness, the blood runs free No room for you, just Mother and he It’s starting again, blackout In his taxidermy heart, the hate consumes The quiet man who lurks in the shadows of the vacant rooms Walking alone with he night as his friend It’s a matter of time before you reach your end It’s starting again, blackout.
4.
Dimming Moon 03:13
The dark edge of sanity, painted in black, where nightmares come and silence screams The fractured pictures from a broken mind, a cut so deep it tears at time. A hollow shell, which once was you, a tortured life, under a dimming moon Paranoid delusion, you will suffer well, paint me a picture of this living hell The pain it traps us within this hell, the dark edge of sanity where demons dwell The stains of fear never fade away, these tears of love lead me away A hollow shell, which once was you, a tortured life, under a dimming moon Paranoid delusion, you will suffer well, paint me a picture of this living hell
5.
Depression 03:12
Depression deep inside, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Taking your smile and taking your eyes A shadowed heart and the minds disguise I’d take my life if i believed in me I’d take my life if i believed in you Misery rains on me, watching the leaves fall down Head in my hands, thinking of life and the person i am The expectations grow, wanting myself to believe I’d take my life if i believed in me I’d take my life if i believed in you.
6.
Dead City 03:19
We move along to the pace of the city To the backdrop of our neon dream The street lights flicker, igniting your bones All we love, we love alone. Dead city, now take my hand, in our dead city The roads are long, draped in concrete sin the underground is calling from within Urban decay will swallow you whole Leaving you empty, no heart, no soul Dead city, now take my hand, in our dead city
7.
In the chambers of demise eleven million people died Their screams echo through the walls of oblivion The world has always suffered, our tears they fall like rain The world has always suffered, we all have blood on our hands The visionaries of terror, they are laying down their plans The damned all stand around and dig their own graves The world has always suffered, our tears they fall like rain The world has always suffered, we all have blood on our hands.
8.
The Rapture 04:20
The rapture of man, our kingdom dies Valleys run red as faith resides The keeper at the gate, decides our fate Face to face with our deepest fear The puppet master pulls on the strings of design, pulling evolutions throw. Repent, you’ll do no wrong, you’re out of time, now walk the line Fear opens doors, heart beats so fast The truth hurts the most, in death we relate In truth is your lie, in man is demise The killing of innocence as our tears run dry The puppet master pulls on the strings of design, pulling evolutions throw. Repent, you’ll do no wrong, you’re out of time, now walk the line
9.
Ceremony 02:44
In this ceremony of bleeding there are sacrificial knives In the temple of black the ageing silence cries Our wings are cracked, fractured and unused Vows that are spoken are made to be broken The ceremony ends, all hope is gone. A night of ritual The curtains close, your heart is torn by a world that they possess In sacrifice the pain begins, you slowly fade away The ceremony ends, all hope is gone. A night of ritual.

Mein Leiden 03:40
I’ve been broken and i’ve been dirt I’ve been lost and i’ve been hurt I’ve been blamed and i’ve been shamed Not much of me remains I’ve had trust and i’ve felt lust I’ve felt failure and i’ve been bust I’ve seen shadows and i’ve climbed walls I tried to love and i broke rules I’ve felt used and i’ve been bruised i’ve been forgotten and confused I’ve been open and i’ve been closed I’ve seen so much, i don’t know I don’t know what to so anymore, everything has gone so poor In the street the people stare, faces, faces, everywhere Is it fate, or is it time? Is it their choice, or is it mine? Is it there or are we blind? Try to find the answers we can’t find Is it true, or is it false? Is it high, or is it low? Is it safe, or out of control? They won’t tell you, you don’t need to know Where there’s money, there’s always greed Where there’s cure, there’s always disease Where there’s hope, there’s always a rope and they’ll pull on it until you choke People running from what they’ve seen Are we awake when we dream? In the distance the silent scream, in their past our fires gleam. Faces, faces, everywhere.

Faith Healer 04:12
The temptation of christ, is leading you astray Only godless love remains Dismantled dreams in your stolen heart Believing in yourself is just the start Faith healer, calls from within, your heaven on fire. Faith healer Look at your life through the eyes of a saint No room for error, no room for complaint The walls that surround you are shadowed in white ..and the voices that guide you are hidden by the night ..and the voices that guide you are hidden by the night Faith healer, calls from within, your heaven on fire. Faith healer.
