Lyrics by Costin Chioreanu: The magma of words dresses the perception in horror It's idolizing measures, it's calling clouds to cement the hallow A flood of silence... As silence was before the circle Throwing the unseen before Before the first word Before the first drop When absence was absolute To understand the meaning of a wordless speech The raindrop shall fall deeper through the walls of this tomb hall As the exit will raise on the bottom of last circle Lyrics by David Tibet: BITER LIKE THE MOON SHORN FIELDS FROM WHIRLWINDS DRANK LIKE THE SON MOLTEN GRIEVED SUNS FORGED OF FLOWERS AND GARDENS AND CAROUSELS AND GRAVES PITCHED BLACK LIKE THAT BITE FROM LUNAR MERCURY MOUTH THE FINGER AND HAND AND THE BLARE OF THE BAND AND THE WAVES CALLING DOWN ON THE BEACHES OF MYRRH BRIGHT MISSED IN THE PASSING MACHINES DREAMS OF WATER TOWERS, SHARP GARDENS BLEAK JADE DUNGEONS AND SLEEK GROTTOES THE CLIPPING SWORD WOUND MASTER OF DEBRIS PATCHED UNDER CHRIST BLOWN AWAY BY THE FIRES YOU SPAT AT TEETHTIME THERE COMES A TIME A TIME A TIME WHEN THE BLIND THE BLIND UNWEAVE THEIR STATUES AND UNCROSS THE THRONES THEY HAVE BUILT IN STRAW POOR MOUTH, POOR SLASH, POOR MARKS LEFT BEHIND BY BUTTERFLIES

THE CAMPAIGN IS NOW OVER.
Thanks so much to all of you for donating, for great messages and support!

The total of bandcamp sales of my "The Quest For A Morning Star" was 1700 euro. This sum got split in 4 and delivered this morning
(7th of December 2015) to following victims of the Colectiv fire: Mihai Iulian Anghel (425 euro), Radu Damian (425 euro), Laurentiu Costache (425 euro) and Popescu Ionut Liviu (425 euro). Please note that in all 4 cases, the money were wired to these victims as Romanian currency, as I received them as romanian currency as well from paypal in my account. I want to thank all of you again for buying my weird music for this great cause, or for spreading the word...and I really hope to see all these people out of hospitals asap and enjoy life again!

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE:
The Romanian artist, Costin Chioreanu, is to release a collection of music, entitled "The Quest For A Morning Star", to raise funds for victims of the recent tragedy at Club Collectiv, in Bucharest.

Chioreanu is well known and highly respected for his graphic works for At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Napalm Death, Arcturus, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Ulver and many others. A musician himself, he has collaborated with various artists to create "soundtracks" to accompany his exhibitions in the past. These soundtracks are to be made available via BandCamp, with all proceeds to be donated to help with medical bills and funeral expenses of those who have been affected by the fire.

On October 30, local band, Goodbye to Gravity were celebrating the release of their second album at the nightclub when the tragedy occurred. The fire has already claimed the lives of 46 victims, but that number is rising daily, with more than one hundred further people in hospital, many in critical conditions. In a tight knit rock/metal community, the shockwaves have been massive, as musicians, fans, photographers, engineers, security have all been directly affected.

Chioreanu commented:
"Is very hard for me to find the words to convey the devastating effect of this, so I'll try to just stick to the facts. For our small community of music fans, this has been beyond terrible - many of us here have been friends for many years, and those newer to the scene, we'd still have recognised. The loss and impact is almost too big to comprehend at the moment.

"I want to thank all the great musicians who have taken part in these soundtracks - for their immediate response and support in making this compilation possible and available for fundraising. The love and support that's out there in the international metal scene is unbelievable. I want to thank everybody who has helped out, from the bottom of my heart."

Regarding the original purpose of the music, Chioreanu explains: "I started to create this music in 2011, for a personal project, not directly related to metal music/artwork. When working on this type of project, I like to include the audible space as well as the visual in my work. So, all this music is extremely personal to me, and many of these soundtracks have never been released before. The intimacy of the works makes it feel quite natural for them to be released for a humanitarian purpose like this. The Campaign will end on November 27th"
