Gravity

by Nosdrama

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is the fourth album by the Finns, but the first one that I have come across. If someone had asked me what country these guys were fromm I would probably guess a country where there were long periods of darkness as this is an album that is full of melancholy and dread emotion, as they bring together elements of bands such as Porcupine Tree and Opeth into something that is first and foremost progressive but also bring in elements of ambient black metal. The vocals from Ari Niemi (who also provides guitars) aren’t necessarily depressing but they certainly lean towards that style. It is the vocals that are very much at the centre of everything they do, with the music rarely breaking forward as this is all about songs and providing the right accompaniment for the singer.

    It is all about exploring music when building on minor chords instead of major, and definitely moving in different directions than the norm. Space is used as an additional instrument, and there are times when the album feels very intimate as opposed to overblown and in your face, although there is always the threat tat the riffing guitars could suddenly take a turn for the heavier. The lyrical theme of the album is built from Universal spheres, the natural cycle of cosmology and human destinies. Apparently they used the word ‘Gravity’ to make the listener think about the how this affects all life forms, yet leaves the mystery of the unknown magnetism and its effect to spiritual world. Overall this is an interesting album that while not indispensible is certainly worthy of further investigation, especially if you enjoy your music to be not necessarily sad, but definitely gothic and dark.

Lighthouse 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Lighthouse Horizon so shining far there temptating so hard sunset promising theres something more that life can be. Gotta go and see whats in there, gotta go and feel winds of adventure on warm skin winds of brutal sea. Searching for the lighthouse in this deadly pitch black sea I cant see direction to my home Waves like mountain ripping my boat trying to take me down I cant see direction to my love. Maps above me guide straight to the storms I never knew Being so small amid this greatness shakes the pride from me Seagull please fly home and tell her I will never arrive Do fly home and tell about the vicious hammer of god. Stars, so high on me My carpet wide ‘n’ dark Landscape so calm and fierce Unknown depths beyond the stars and dreams

Gravity 05:16
lyrics

Gravity I have never found a cure for the sadness in my soul felt the laws of gravity, in my life Whispers of the dragon calls, rhymes that wake up something bad. Felt the laws of gravity in my head. Walking by the side of anarchy just to pass the time Showing warning signs to shutted eyes while the time runs out Long tracks to north lead you to the shore of all all that’s signifying all that matters most Below the stars understanding where is home something’s written in skies so you don’t forget no-one lives your life for you Waving higher flags of anarchy no-one wants to be free only way to increase energy for the air, to breathe On top of tree waving with the wind so free watching how the leaves fly out from my sight sound of the woods telling from the cradle green it will disappear sometime it will tell your children the truth

Receiver 04:37
lyrics

Receiver Living shadows on the white sand Shores growing dark again Am I lonely on this island? Counting the turns of moon Unseen breeze touching my skin Stains from the howling past Did I open the door by thought? Or was it just the rising wind. Another sleepless night arrives Silence crawls, standing tall Song repeating in my mind Creeping beast, rise to feast Holding breath below the black sky Listening how nature moves Receiver in between two worlds Too simple to measure notes On the other side of my lids (this time) Starts mystic worlds of haze Ships without constraining anchors Souls without gates of flesh Living shadows on the white sand Shores changing to the dark What I brought from strange dimensions Screaming now in my veins.

The Curity 04:00
lyrics

The Curity We have the remedy to your mind We have the wisdom above all Detailed map for successful living Instruments for adjusting your thoughts Hey simple runaway This is for your best to bring you down Trust your life in our hands and slumber Untamed nature must be neutralized I fix your brain by pain We have so many different ways to Bring you from that private hell of yours We have so many different punishments To guide you on the way of decent man Enjoy your way back down Your free fall to the ground Enjoy your way back down and take it with the smile Enjoy your way to pain Your free fall to the ground Enjoy your way to pain and take it with the smile
