DISSOCIATIVE IDEALS (2013)

Arbiox es el encargado principal de todo lo que sucede alrededor de Side os Despondency, el proyecto dió comienzo en el 2009 y tras un pequeño periodo de inactividad parece que se le ha unido un vocalista para acabar de dar forma, musicalmente hablando, a las ideas de Arbiox. Este Ep puede que acabe siendo un punto de inflexión en la carrera de la banda, lo que es cierto es que nos encontramos ante un Ep con un fuerte componente depresivo y melancólico y alejado de la vertiente más metal de anteriores obras. Dissociatve Ideals nos ofrece un excelente trabajo a la guitarra de un músico que trabaja magistralmente la creación de atmósferas de manera simple y efectiva, haciendo uso de su guitarra logra trasmitir un montón de emociones relacionadas con el estado de ánimo del ser humano. Comentaba anteriormente que la parte más metálica esta menos presente que en anteriores entregas, pero aquí también hay lugar para los riffs de tendencia depresiva acompañados de una voz acorde para la ocasión. Un Ep que se nutre bastante de la faceta más post del metal, resultado emotivo y bien trabajado. (7,9).

1. Vain Tears, Dreams Will Never Come True 03:20

 Now can finally calm down 

Some things are not as important as they used to 

Don't worry and don't cause tears 

Some say that it must be so, and correctly 

And we should rejoice in the fact that there are 

Strive and dreaming about.. 

Forced to stay to watch something 

As if it's true and should be like ravings 

Painful and sad. I can't stand it any longer 

Nice and fake. again and again 

All the zeros and I stumble on level ground 

Always the case. Nothing changes

2. Story About the Ship 05:00

  Never know what we want 

Choose one, and wish more 

Doubt pursue to the end 

This is happened as it is not so? 

Or so because it should be intended 

Features for your perception 

Mind and thought, sight and touch 

Today it is one man, tomorrow is another 

They change too quickly 

No one has the right card 

The last one was killed by his own judgments: 

Where to go, where the shore, 

The port and the wind in the sails 

So similar to each other 

We are so alike it's you or me? 

You looks like me 

But it seems is not I 

So similar to each other 

We are so alike it's you or me? 

If you don't, it means that i will do 

So similar to each other 

We are so alike it's you or me? 

You looks like me 

But it seems is not I

3. Below the Line 02:45

Back to thoughts 

They were waiting for us 

So long 

Passing all positions 

Power leave 

Wrong responses, irrelevant answer 

What we were looking for 

Not found 

Went astray and eventually lost

4. Imaginary Escape 05:15

 Since there were 2 periods 

Of cold and snow, the distant past, 

And a strip of time between 

Now and then, I remember my fear again, 

My escape of my own present. errors so 

That the thoughts sink 

Into the pit of oblivion. 

How it was long ago, but it all likewise 

Year by the year. warming .. seemingly everything went 

I thought that's all gone. but now it's all the same 

I don't care

5. To Yearnings 03:09

At some point. without you I miss you, I feel so bad, come back to me Today I dreamed of you. I was you Hiding, hiding and running away I remember a long time ago, I also ran When you told me to run Although I had to stay With you Ever since been looking for you Call. But it is all in vain Each day ends with a void Where are you? I feel so bad alone I lost all my hope I don't want my life as my own And I wanted so much to kill myself I feel my guilt In all that happens my fault Everything had to be otherwise
