Netherbird - "Towers of the Night" (lyric video)
That only we can see
Into the darkness,
Through sorrow
Through grief
Onwards the guidance is tied
To our relentless old beliefs
Our beliefs
In all that used to be
Towers of the night
The beaconing fire
Our bridge into the sky
Infernal
Towers of the night
I swear you my allegiance
Audacious is our kind
Eternally our symphony will ring
Low is the rumble
That breathes in the abyss
Where lights of gods
Have never shone
We yield our fate alone
Alone
We yield our fate alone
Vexing is the spiral
When existence comes undone
And heaven is torn from its hinges
Falling from the view until the light is gone
Tattered are the rags of the soul
Like trees in a storm
Οι Netherbird μας έρχονται από την Σουηδία. Σχηματίσθηκαν πριν από 17 έτη και μας παρουσιάζονται κάπως έτσι: «Netherbird has blurred the boundaries between black, death and other extreme strains of heavy metal since 2004. The band was founded by like-minded individuals among the Swedish metal scene with the intentions of creating harsh metal while drawing inspiration from black and death metal without any regards, or limitations, to the structures surrounding each respective sub-genre.» Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν έξι EPs και μπόλικα singles). Ο πλέον πρόσφατος φέρει τον τίτλο "Arete" και "βγήκε" προ ημερών...
Δελτίο τύπου: «On "Arete", Netherbird return with their signature melodic black/death metal that has become their hallmark. It is deeply rooted in the Scandinavian underground legacy, yet delivered with a strong sense of feel and urgency, allowing these tracks to exude the confidence and songwriting prowess of a band at the peak of their craft. The album itself is the third installment of the trilogy that started on “The Grander Voyage” and continued on “Into the Vast Uncharted”. The journey has come to its completion with this album, where the very concept of Arete -the classic ideal of excellence- is scrutinized from various angles in these songs.»

Netherbird: «”Towers of the Night” is our homage to the ever-present darkness, the canvas upon which our very existence is painted. When we are young, we are told to stay with the light and avoid the deeper shadows. But some of us have always felt ourselves pulled in that direction, a sense of mystery awaiting far off the beaten paths. This track deals with the urge to walk further in search of the discoveries that can only be made on the lonesome journey nightwards.»
