You level me with your gaze
I watched you change
Frozen, disengaged
You’re so weak
Choices are contusions
Let go
Control is an illusion
Let go
And go on
Your anger is useless without reflection
Shrouding the happiest moments
in sadness
numbness
I can no longer hunt this emotion
For when I look into your eyes
I see nothing
But myself
Watching me drown
Follow me down
This hatred
A reflection of everything I am
Poisons me
And cures me
You will never level me with that gaze again
Follow me
For nothing can save you now
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
