RivetSkull - Another Way to Heaven (official lyric video)

We see the edge
Floating down
Empty space
Empty space

Have we gone through time
Facing fears with lonely masks
Start to unwind
Start to unwind

Sail on
To a world we're not from
We'll find another way
To make it happen
v Can we reach the stars
And find out who we are
And find another way to heaven

This world's not worth understanding
This pain is never ending
I've seen it all before

How's it so complicated
Boring and overrated
Hold on
Hold on

Then sail on
To a world we're not from
We'll find another way
To make it happen

Can we reach the stars
And find out who we are
And find another way to heaven

Move on
Move on
And hold the line
Hold the line

Manic moments
Brace to fall
Evil monsters inside us all
Looking to get out

Mind ablaze
With frantic thoughts
Too afraid to let it out
Too afraid to let it go
Hold on

And sail on to a world
We're not from
And find another way to heaven

Sail on to a world
We're not from
And find another way to make it heaven

Can we reach the stars
And find out who we are
And find another way
Find another way to heaven

Into this world
I brought a terrible magic
Born of fear
He opens my eyes
With a terrible cry

Some laugh
Some cry
I remain silent now
I have become death
The destroyer of worlds

In the radiance of a thousand suns
Burst in the sky
Revealing the splendor
Of the mighty one

Οι RivetSkull μας έρχονται από το Σιάτλ. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από εννέα έτη, αλλά μουσικά δείχνουν να ανήκουν στα τέλη 70ς - αρχές 80ς. «If you are looking for the next new sub-sub-genre of heavy metal you won’t find it here» λέει η μπάντα, η οποία μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι:

«RivetSkull is an echo from the birth of heavy metal. A reflection of a magical moment in time when heavy metal first appeared in the 70’s and 80’s. Evolution of the genre? Not happening here. This is the Jurassic Park of heavy metal, the regrowth of that same DNA that created the beasts of metal that first roamed this planet.

What you will find is heavy, melodic and riff laden music with clear and strong vocals. There is a strong groove with prominent bass lines and tight fitting guitar riffs. The singing will take you back to a day when skill, melody, power and style mattered. All of this brought to you by a dedicated and hard working band of brothers.»

Προ τριετίας (Φεβρουάριος 2020) κυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο των RivetSkull υπό τον τίτλο "Trail of Souls". Το περασμένο καλοκαίρι (8 Ιουλίου 2022) επανακυκλοφόρησε (η αποκαλούμενη Reworked Reissue έκδοση) υπό τον τίτλο "Trail of Souls: Samsara" με διαφορετικό εξώφυλλο, διαφορετική σειρά τραγουδιών και μία αλλαγή: έλειπε η διασκευή στον ύμνο των Rainbow "Gates of Babylon" και στην θέση μπήκε το τραγούδι "Kings and Queens" (πρόκειται για διασκευή σε Aerosmith, η οποία κυκλοφόρησε και αυτόνομα, ως single, έναν μήνα νωρίτερα).

Οι RivetSkull μας λένε χαρακτηριστικά: «The release two years ago of our debut Trail of Souls was a moment of pride for us. We appreciate the love and support you've shown us since. While working on our new album we came to find that our self-recorded and self-produced release was not the best representation of us and those songs. We wanted to fix that before releasing our more music.»
