AT ONE WITH THE NIGHT SKY (2023)
Primer larga duración para este combo sueco, un álbum de corte atmosférico, de espacios y desarrollos amplios. El álbum que explota el recurso de un sonido ambiental lento y pausado que se ve destrozado por sonidos muchos mas rápidos y poderoso, recurso que del que se nutre la mayor parte de álbum. Las partes lentas se construyen a través de una instrumentación limpia, predominando guitarras acústicas y algunos sintetizadores, con un componente contemplativo y evocador de paisajes de ensueño y soledad. Por su parte cuando entran en escena un ritmo más elevado, en donde predomina un sonido potente de batería y unos riffs más crudos de vocación melódica en segundo plano, si que nos sumergimos en terrenos más fríos y oscuros con una cierta dosis de agresividad, sobre todo si atendemos a la secciones vocales. Un álbum para degustar plácidamente, dejándose atrapar por los diferentes pasajes que pueblan el mismo, sin olvidarse de la capacidad que tiene Lightlorn de transitar por diferentes cambios de ritmo y registro, lo que se pude describir como un black atmosférico, con muchos tientes melódicos, pronto se ve superado por una propuesta mucho más directa y agresiva, conservando ese tondo melódico, pero con mucha mas incidencias de aspectos como la oscuridad, pera a renglón seguido regresar a esa facete más melódica y atmosférica. (8,2).

1. Amongst Stellar Remnants 07:23
Here at the end of creation
Stars long cold, dead remnants
Such grandeur in emptiness
Such splendour in darkness
Photons die and light fades
Corpses of worlds decay
Black holes evaporate
Energy dissipates
Expanding without end
Majestic nothingness
Entirely meaningless
Cold spacetime and heat death
Ancient galaxies dying, vanishing
Light gone, perfect night
All gone, all that’s left is time
Time and space
And emptiness
And hopelessness
And nothingness
2. A Tragedy in Starlight 07:23
Our sun is dead
Our world is dead
Darkness descends
Our words left unsaid
Our home is gone
Our hope is gone
Our songs unsung
And our dreams undone
Extinction, damnation
This world is a grave
All life, all love
All history erased
Here then gone, all but forgotten
Dust we are, fading to nothing
3. Dimensionless Blackness 06:27
Supermassive, I devour suns
Hopeless blackness, light’s extinction
I am the nucleus, god of the galaxy
Nothing can escape my crushing gravity
Dimensionless, here I reign above all
Emotionless, insatiate, eternal
Curvature infinite, all who fall become one with me
Featureless and supreme, I am all – galactic tyranny
4. Ghostly Soliloquies 08:45
Exiled to the stars - cold and lost
Haunting this lifeless void
Sorrow in our hearts - all is loss
All we once were, destroyed
Faint as ghosts – here we dwell
Shadows without a sun
No repose - cosmic hell
Nearing oblivion
Endless blackness, bereaved and forlorn
Dismal, wistful, grieving forevermore
Unending suffering in memory
A night without dawn
Where all our hope is gone
As our dreams decay
Of a new home far away
Trajectories unknown
Despairing and alone
Ghostly soliloquies
In starry reverie
Light forever gone
Our end has begun
Embracing demise
At one with the night sky
5. Of Longing Spirit and Infinite Solitude 08:10
Old and lifeless skies
Cold and black is the night
Vast silence abounds
Here in emptiness drowned
Scream into darkness
No one there to hear us
No sign or echo
So alone here below
Stars uncountable
Our hopes unfulfilled
Ever lone and forlorn
Dreams of equals, stillborn
Cosmic silence - barren is the throne
Aching absence - cursed and forever alone
Long have we yearned
for kindred minds elsewhere
Long have we sought
Nought to find but despair
Ascending to the stars
Down to earth we’ve cast god
Masters of our fate
Our longing spirit cries
Wails beneath starry skies
But all is empty space
6. Spiral Arms like Swirling Rivers 05:47
Cold lights in the dark
Arms adorned with stars
Aglow in the night
Rivers filled with starlight
Gaze up to the sky
Heavens deified
Tales of creation
Gods and constellations
Tremble, worship, revere the night sky
Astral tyrant of the night
The winter way gleaming bright
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers in the night
7. Earthbound 06:25
Light-years away, distance so great
Visions of space, out of reach
Ever earthbound, kings with no crown
Longing profound, life so brief
Born to this Earth
Of dust and dirt
Here cursed to die
Dreaming of the night sky
Interstellar aspirations
Yet still affixed to the ground
Solar system still our prison
Near-earth orbit, looking down
Ever wanderers, ever pioneers
Long we have lingered on cosmic shores
Time to leave this earth, time to set our sails
Time to embark, ever to explore
Worlds are waiting beyond the clouds
Liberating – nevermore earthbound
50:20
