lyrics

Tall and bitter frowns
Wrath and irritation rising to staggering heights
Days on days on days

New gold every hour, each time more impure than in the hour before
Consuming, inhaling, devouring
Sell your soul for this place so impure

I see it all, I breathe the world
The world breathes through me
I lean in, I gaze into the abyss
Darker and darker, it reaches out and tears me away from my safe lookout

I scream, I fall
I can breathe

Soak up the sun, it's rays caress my battered mind
They gently push aside
The iron veil forged by ages of grief
The blissful, forgiving solitude found in places next door
Made up of roots so old
Here lies time buried and entangled in dust and fallen leaves
Every year another layer added
Weighing down the ground with volumes of grief and sorrow cast off
And shed like a skin
But to no avail for the age old roots still impart this prayer of transformation

Atlantis in my head and you like no other have seen the salt around my eyes
But you showed me a path worth taking and I don't know of the stones that lie in our way but I know that I'd move each and everyone for you
And may the rivers of terror roar and deafen us
We'll still be standing on the shore burying our feet in the warm sand

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
