A storm is coming
This is the beginning
You’re on your own
You will be driven out, denied, and reduced to silence
Many voices many minds
Inside
From the beginning
You gave your rights to survive within my consciousness
You’ll be stripped away of existence
Within these walls
You’ll be driven out
You will be driven out
I will defeat you
Overcome myself
This is
A beginning
The beginning
Compassion is unknown
Compassion has failed us
Atten Ash ne précise pas la couleur du sablier qui fait l'objet de son premier album : à mon avis, il doit être bleu parce que The Hourglass fait remonter le temps. Le trio américain rend un hommage plus qu'évident au death/doom metal mélodique des années 90. Bien que vigoureux ("See You...Never"), les riffs n'en sont pas moins émouvant, flirtant parfois avec une atmosphère funéraire ("Song for the Dead", "First Day") sans jamais tomber dans le pathos facile. Les solos sont extraordinaires ! Jordan Vauvert
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
An interesting fusion of black metal and jazz, with inspiration from various other forms of metal. There is a lot to like here, and many pleasant surprises. However, it does not always seem to form a cohesive whole. spawnofchaos
