Edge Of Forever - 'Water Be My Path' (official music video)

I'm lost and I'm wandering
Through a dark and endless night
But in the distance I can see
Another glow of light

The journey is long and the road is rough,
And at times I feel like giving up
With every step I'm getting closer
To the place I'm meant to be

And when the waves will crash,
And the storm will rage
I'll keep moving forward
I'll never disengage

Water be my path, water be my guide,
Lead me to the other side,
Help me find my way, help me see the light,
Water be my path, water be my guide

I’ve lost everything I had
Through the battles of my life
But in this darkness all I know
Is that in the end I’ll find a light

And when I’ll finally reach the end
I'll know that I have found my way
For with water as my guide
I'll never lose any day

And when the waves will crash,
And the storm will rage
I'll keep moving forward
I'll never disengage

Water be my path, water be my guide,
Lead me to the other side,
Help me find my way,
help me see the light,
Water be my path, water be my guide

Water be my path, water be my guide,
Lead me to the other side,
Help me find my way,
help me see the light,
Water be my path, water be my guide

Full length album νούμερο έξι για τους Edge Of Forever. "Ritual" ο τίτλος και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός σε cd, ενώ σε λίγες ημέρες θα "βγει" και σε βινύλιο. Οι Edge of Forever μας έρχονται από την Ιταλία. Μπάντα μελωδικού metal / hard rock, η οποία δημιουργήθηκε πριν από είκοσι (20) έτη και έχει κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα demo, μία συλλογή και τρία singles...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Edge Of Forever has never been so active since the 2019 reunion, returning to the scene with two strong albums: "Native Soul" and the critically acclaimed "Seminole" (2022).

The new line-up - consisting of Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Sweet Oblivion) on guitars, Nik Mazzucconi (Labyrinth, Sunstorm) on bass, and Marco Di Salvia (Hardline) on drums, and rounded up by singer, keyboardist, and founder Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Jorn, Revolution Saints) - has become a true force of nature after the numerous tours and headlining shows that brought the band to successfully open for the likes of Skid Row (Belgium, The Netherlands), FM (Italy, Switzerland, Germany), Eclipse (UK), Mike Tramp (Spain) and many more.

They brought their music to thousands of people and multiple stages across Europe in the 16 months and 30 plus concerts supporting "Seminole". The new musical path made of heavier guitars, epic choruses, and the finest and richest arrangements have brought the band to a much bigger crowd, expanding their spectrum from a mere Hard Rock band.

The motivational lyrics, infused with Positive Mental Attitude and Stoicism, all under the Native American spiritual culture, are now a trademark of the band and with "Ritual", when you thought you couldn't dig deeper into these subjects, the band explores and even goes straight to the core matter that afflicted a minority: the Residential Schools tragedy.

"Ritual" tells the story of the last two indigenous people speaking a language soon to be forgotten. The twins, a boy and a girl, were sent to two different Residential Schools and were told that there was no one else left from their nation and they needed to forget everything they might remember from it, either language or culture.

Secretly, they continue practicing their idiom, hoping to escape and find their twin somewhere in the world. The boy ends up escaping school and starts a lifelong journey which leads him to meeting his sister on his bed of death.

The album tells a story of pride, strength, pain, but also ultimate joy and fulfillment in being who you truly and deeply are.

While "Seminole" was created around the title track mini-suite, "Ritual" brings strong progressive elements, intricate arrangements, and multi-layered vocals front and center on the 21 minute suite of the same title, which ends the story at the highest peak of the band's creation.

Alessandro Del Vecchio's crystal clear production and mix brings every detail upfront and makes the whole band's delivery powerful and throws the listener into the center of the band's own sound.

"Ritual" sees the Edge of Forever writing and working as a full unit bringing new elements where melody, power, depth and heaviness all meet together in an album that makes Edge Of Forever a unique case in today’s musical environment.»
