Candlemass - "Porcelain Skull" (lyric video)
When the summer's gone
Countdown to my destruction
It's a strange sensation
Like a passanger dark
Manifestation
Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull
I wake up screaming
Some demons scheming?
Do I want the darkness to see me?
I buried you deep there
A funeral for a friend
Six feet under
You came back again
Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull
So wrong and twisted
I need an exorcism
Don't we all?
I am so afraid
I'm pulled away
Into the porcelain skull
Black magic affection
When the summer's gone
Countdown to my destruction
Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull
So wrong and twisted
I need an exorcism
Don't we all?
I am so afraid
I'm pulled away
Into the porcelain skull
EP έξι τραγουδιών είναι η δισκογραφική πρόταση των Candlemass για το 2020. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Pendulum", αναμένεται στα τέλη του Μάρτη και περιλαμβάνει το ομότιτλο τραγούδι συν πέντε demo εκτελέσεις μουσικών κομματιών, τα οποία συνέθεσε η μπάντα για τον δίσκο "The Door to Doom" (που κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι), αλλά δεν συμπεριλήφθηκαν τελικά στο album...
Leif Edling: «I think the video really captures the schizophrenic lyrics to the Porcelain Skull song. It is about the eternal battle with our dark selves. Avatarium did a fine version of it on their latest album but this one is rawer and harder, hits you right in the face!»
Δελτίο τύπου: «"The Pendulum" - the masterful new EP by the undisputed kings of epic doom, staving off your hunger for more until Candlemass' next full-length hits! Grammy-nominated classic doom icons Candlemass don't even need to drop a full-length for every release to prove they belong at the top of an entire genre and beyond.
Fully comprised of never-before-heard, unused tracks cut from the The Door To Doom recording sessions, the band’s masterful new EP, The Pendulum, perfectly showcases that these timeless Swedish pioneers are the undisputed kings of epic doom.
The fully-mastered EP opener/title track “The Pendulum” charges in with a melodic, head-swinging, thrashy rush - setting the stage for the raw, unfiltered steamrolling demo cut, "Porcelain Skull”, encapsulating the listener in unadulterated doom heaviness.
The six track EP leads the listener through a maze of frenzied riffing, accented by Leif Edling's distinctive, penetrating vocals and the unique, melancholy sound that has proven Candlemass as a heavy metal staple. The Pendulum is a MUST-HAVE for every classic doom record collection, and will stave off the hunger for more until the band's next full-length hits.»
