I actually disagree massively. I love harsh vocals and, obviously, I love clean vocals, but combining the two is awful 99% of the time. But not here. Not here at all. I wouldn't have guessed that these two would combine as they do, but they fucking smash it.
this song has always given me a grand earth shattering feeling that i can’t describe. the last 4 minutes are absolute perfection, and i don’t know if it will ever be topped for me. the indescribable beauty and melancholy 🥲 a song for the ages
@Deborah Meltrozo Have you listened to Zeal And Ardor? They fuse black metal with soul and blues and slave chants. The vocals are very diverse. You have the typical black metal screams but also soulful clean vocals, ominous crooning and everything in between. They're a very interesting band
We recorded at Hightower the week after they recorded this. Such an honor. I actually flipped the page of Emma's notes to write my own. Special song, special album, special studio.
this song is so dark and painful. the ending gives me goosebumps every time. it reminds me the pain of losing someone i loved and loneliness takes over me as the song progresses.
Emma is wonderful. Had the privilege of talking to her in the club Mochvara before her gig in Zagreb and also hear her live on three other gigs in Budapest, Ljubljana, and London. She is real raw talent and I hope she lives a long creative life.
The build up to the ending of this amazing song is why I love music in its purest form songs like this are truly special cause they don’t happen all the time. 🔥🔥💀🤘🤘
I must've listened to this 1000 times. so haunting, the rise and fall the lyrics the tempo switches. Transports me to a vivid place and time in my mind. Wonderful
Great colaboration, its amazing how her voice fits the decaying and trembling sound of thou. Incredibly captured and transfered both the artist and the band sound in a perfect mix. Outstanding.
✍Circle down to the mouth of the valley Kneel now down at the face, at the gate As every footfall crumbles so fast beneath me Under the weight of this eternal shame And to you who've given up in the valley And to you who've given all to its wake Just another endless night falls around thee Just another grey landscape to face I want to step into the armor of another, stronger I want to look once through the eyes of someone good So I can gather up the names of our mothers And wash away the shame and lift them to sainthood But if you have given up in the valley And if you have given all to its wake It's just another endless night fall around me Just another fucked up thing I can't save But always run forever miles, does it end? Then another wall rises in the distance Their horizon parts for none, where mothers failed To carry all their weight, I will be brave Yes, I will be brave You feel them? Those who have fallen Stacked up like stones in a pile I feel them A tower of failures So twisted and vile You see them there? Ancient and seething Get them out of my way You see them? Those who have fallen Get 'em out of my way You see 'em? Those who have fallen Stacked up like stones in a pile You see them? A tower of failures Get 'em out of my way You see them? Ancient and seething Twisted and vile You see them? Those who have fallen Get them out of my way You see 'em there? A tower of failures Get 'em out of my way
I just discovered this about four hours ago while working an overnight shift. The first f****n' 45 seconds completely captivated every ounce of my being. Now I am unable to stop listening to it 🌟
This song just confirms how depression and anxiety can be so perpetually crippling. And for some of us this internal turbulence becomes an entity in itself and you can't seem to rid it no matter how hard you try. So we befriend it. Embracing the darkness rather than running and hiding. There's no escaping this benign masochism. Emma said it best "Circle down to the mouth of the valley. Kneel now down at the face, at the gate. As every footfall crumbles so fast beneath me. Under the weight of this Eternal Shame. And to you who've given up in the Valley. And to you who've given all to its wake. Just another endless night falls around thee. Just another grey landscape to face. I want to step into the armor of another, stronger. I want to look once through the eyes of someone good. So I can gather up the names of our mothers. And wash away the shame and lift them to sainthood. But if you have given up in the valley. And if you have given all to its wake. Just another endless nightfall around me. Just another fucked up thing I can't save..."
At the heart of depression and anxiety is abuse and intergenerational trauma, which is why I think she also speaks in the end to overcoming: "You see them? All those who have fallen Stacked up like stones in a pile You see them? A tower of failures Get them out of my way" As someone who has been doing trauma therapy for months now, that's how I read this song. Then I queue up the live version of "No Dog" by Esben and the Witch.
This song is incredible. I haven’t listened to something so strong like these guitar lines and vocals in years. Better than most of the doom metal songs out there. This album will save this year 🤍
Fucking hell. Immediately on loop and album pre-ordered. Incredible, beautiful piece of work. First thing I've heard in months that gave me that feeling in my gut of "(un)holy shit, this is awesome"
Yorkshire Dave, I discovered this four hours ago while working an overnight shift. After hearing the first 45 seconds of this beautiful art my response was exactly that of your gut feeling that you typed in quotes 👍🌟
I think the background vocalizing is so ethereal and ghost like. Beautiful and sad but gives me all the chills. The slow build in the end is quite powerful and aggressive!
This is my favorite track from the album. The buildup is beautiful and when Bryan’s singing comes in for the “get them out of my way” part is absolutely epic.

Then another wall rises in the distance Their horizon parts for none Where mothers failed to carry all their weight I will be brave Yeah, I will be brave I feel them Those who have fallen Stacked up like stones in a pile I feel them A tower of failures So twisted and vile You see them there? Ancient and seething Get them out of my way You see them? Those who have fallen Get them out of my way You see them? All of those who have fallen Stacked up like stones in a pile You see them?

A tower of failures Get them out of my way
I just discovered her today.....I was listening to Deafheaven and the algorithm ended up on her stuff....same record company? Anyways she’s amazing and is surrounded by great talent as well...She has the most subtle folk vibe in her stuff, and her lyrics are vivid and real...every song is different, I love this....sorry I’m excited
Album of the year I reckon. What I've heard so far has absolutely blown me away more spectacularly than anything else in a long time. Devastating, in the best possible way and something really special has been made here.
