AU-DESSUS (2015)

Cinco temas engloban el primer ep homónimo los lituanos Au-Dessus, cinco temas de black metal que deja un regusto a post metal en cada nota, pero también a progresivo y a doom. Au-Dessus es un grupo que ha irrumpido con fuerza dentro de la escena, y realmente hay motivos para justificarlo ya que un Ep como este es una obra realmente solida y madura. Los temas se ciñen sobre todo a las influencias del post-metal y del progresivo pero su propuesta va más allá al incorporar también algunos elementos melódicos en las guitarras y las voces muchas veces se van a terrenos agresivos y violentos. El líneas generales el sonido del álbum está muy trabajado y logran casi llegar a apabullar al oyente con unas composiciones repletas de buenos e hipnóticos riffs que pueden llegar a trazar ciertas similitudes con el doom, lo cual nos da una idea de la riqueza y potencial de una obra como esta que acaba por dejar un regusto a muerte y desesperación. (8,2).

Witching hour

1. I 02:12

I am the shapeless sorrows that crawls out of your eyes A senseless gaze that pierces through frightened skin And puts minds into a lethargic sleep Unseen wayfarer which brings life onto its knees Freezes thoughts and takes away your fabled dreams I‘m your prison and i‘m your escape  

2. II 09:15

Slowly sinking… Sinking all of us.. In this suffocating drought of thinking.

Choking on infective vanity stuffed in our throats everyday

All that’s left in memory reminds us freedom.

Freedom from foolishness and bliss of consciousness…

Ever felt so apart that you questioned your purpose in living?

Ever thought is there a meaning in all that theater?

Is there a place for me in this stall full of competing cattle?

Are we meat for someone’s dinner? A sham for others to enjoy?

When socially accepted becomes your choice and aim of life

Or a list full of double-faced creatures means more than to remain yourself.

Congrats! You are now one of them! Take your step towards proclaimed ambition

Take a seat on a contrived throne. I hope this crown of thorns fulfills your existence.

And this feast adorned with promises and lies will be your gallows rope…

3. III 06:35

Running from your own shadow. A reminder of what was in the past. Deep inside between those dark contours. Lied trust and passion to exist. As time change its value, as different moments occur and disappear. Care and hate melts into one as Shadow grows and change its shape. Shattered mind looks back and questions. Why were you like that? Why now your thoughts, beliefs are different? Your soul tries to take a different path? Some say it’s natural, some say it’s odd. Say it’s wrong! Not sure if dreaming or awake or on the way to the end.  

4. IV 06:10

 What once was whole, now needs healing

Last drops of sane flows fast...

I can‘t control this inner feeling,

These unbearable voices in my head.

Please stoooop!

Cease those deranged screams,

Stooop, and give me hope again.

I find myself trapped in these loud echoes,

Echoes made by me. Or is this me?

These skies are crushing like concrete blocks

Every bit of thinking sinks in a delusion plague

Want to feel me? And to taste my pain?

Gather around and watch me bleed..

Please stoooop!

Cease those deranged screams,

Stooop, and give me hope again.

I find myself trapped in these loud echoes,

Echoes made by me. Or is this me?

I am stuck on a path to what comes next

Bludgeoned soul shrieks it‘s way out

Is there a meaning? Is this the faith?

Is this is the thing which will shut me down…

5. V 06:36

When curtain drops and all we see is just ugly act

Smiles comes up and eyes try to hide it‘s vain

Deceptive joy spreads it‘s curse and gathers filths to join this play

Play with just one actor and fancied fame

Filled with sadness that will show up later the next day

Slugs and maggots with human dnr

Crawls with different faces from frigid places

Their bodies smeared with pitch black dirt,

A shamefull color that represents their soul

Are we humans that can‘t cope with sharing talk

Hearing thoughts which were addressed to them

Where are those smiles when no one is looking

Where‘s that joy which was shown on stage yesterday.

Pitch-black aural assault, with production by MARDUK's Lars Broddesson and layout by ever-evolving digital genius of Brianvdp.
