kevisorus There's so much sincerity in the melancholy here, interspersed with brief hints of passing hope. It's a very introspective album that I'm sure will keep me company for many years to come. Favorite track: Among The Pines We'll Die.

Piper Haqim I was very skeptical at first, I’m not now! This band has hooks and hits all the right buttons for anyone looking for that great melodeath/doom sound. Favorite track: Blank Sunrise.

t1RabbitIII Its a truly unique sound in 2020. Finally, a band which plays dark rock with clean vocals mixed with growling. Atonement, To Exit All False and Our Triumph are my favorites but ALL OF THE SONGS are good. Its sad, melancholic, but powerful at the same time. Great stuff. Favorite track: Atonement.

The Will 02:53

Profound 04:31
PROFOUND Alone I´m staring Into raging fire Too blind to what´s real Watching smoke rising To the sky Can you feel my sorrow from a distance? I want solace that you create I wanna follow your steps undying And it´s the darkness that feels profound When we enter somewhere else All this time (It was) shimmering And now we enter deep down there
3.
Atonement 06:13
ATONEMENT It´s everything A silhouette of death A crushing serenade Down the river Let me float away Until I´m out of sight Forgotten in time Now I´ve come to terms With my purpose Through closed eyes I imagine my death I´ve come to terms with myself
4.
TO EXIT ALL FALSE Floating somewhere far A journey into myself No solace The ocean is flooding in I'm drowning In my own failures I've tried to forget But failed everytime No solace The ocean is flooding in It's final I can see all clear Somewhere far I let go And exit all false Now I'm close to the lights of the end The void opens Somewhere far I let go And exit all false Now I'm close to the lights of the end The void opens
5.
Saviour 05:58
SAVIOUR Something falls eternally Never reaching a bottom That something cannot be defined It's just a feeling of total emptiness Come to life in fire, in comfort Inside this house The world becomes a blur Can anyone hear us? Free us from reality A salvation in time of need Someone somewhere deep A chase of reason is over, it's final There isn't one We hold our scars dear And wonder If someone could save us Returning to times and places before We´re floating away now Free us from reality A salvation in time of need Someone somewhere deep
6.
BLANK SUNRISE The one which we trust Condemns life By sending storms To seal our downfall No light will shine Oh it´s dawning proud The blank sunrise False gods Saw it come To dance in the last of fires Is cursing heavens above You´ll find me there at the gates I´m stained with blood Oh it´s dawning proud The blank sunrise And the sky is turning red We´re the ones Blank sunrise
7.
BURIED IN THE WHITE It came to pass I saw it in a dream Under a tree Standing leafless You were too frail And got swallowed By the void within you Cold and endless This burial And the falling white from the skies... I saw you in the mist And left you lifeless there I felt nothing 'Cause you had stopped trying I saw you in the mist You had stopped trying Some are alive too long
8.
Our Triumph 04:53
OUR TRIUMPH It´s when you die I lift your body And carry it away from all In a distant house we´ll born gain On its walls the emptiness opens Surrounding darkness liberates As we claim our place in all of this We knew it´s the last dawn you'll see And I was ready Something woke inside of me My arms prepared for you The winter spoke without a sound It told me to redefine us It´s when you die I steal your body And carry it away from all In a furthest grave we´ll bloom again On its walls infinity unfolds Growing darkness celebrates As we claim our place in all of this
9.
AMONG THE PINES WE´LL DIE My soul wanders in a forest With nothing left, nothing left But this horror by my side Her body they tried to hide But something, something carried on This sacrifice reminds us Among the pines we´ll die And the empty halls await us The distant lights our guide Among the pines we´ll die... My soul wanders in a forest With nothing left, nothing left But this horror by my side This sacrifice reminds us Among the pines we´ll die And the empty halls await us The distant lights our guide
