Desert Near The End - 'In the North of Every Man's Heart' (lyric video)

Rest now my brother
Lay here by my side
Hold tight my hand
Before your spirit flies
Let us gaze at the sunset
For one last time
Silence surrounds us
You’re one with the light... again

The northern wind comes to dry my tears
Will carry now your voice forever in my ears
And as you fade away to be one with the twilight
To be reborn again in the kingdom of the starlight

We’re born alone
We die alone
We’re never gone, we’re just returning back to home

Beyond the night
All made of light
The curtain of this world is drawn and all is bright

Beyond your name
Eternal game
Beyond the sunless grave and all that bring us pain

The winds that blow
In hearts of Men
That will set fire to your spirit once again

Eternal game, Eternal flame

We touch eternity
And then we fade away
We are forever
And then we fade away
We’re built to last and love and dream
And then we fade away
To face the dark
And then to fade away

Οι Desert Near The End μας έρχονται από την Αθήνα. Σχηματίσθηκαν το μακρινό 1997 ως Stormbringer, το 2001 μετονομάσθηκαν σε The Eventide και το 2010 πήραν το τωρινό τους όνομα. «Extreme Power / Thrash Metal» χαρακτηρίζουν το μουσικό τους ύφος.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν τρία singles), με πλέον πρόσφατο το full length album "Tides of Time", το οποίο "βγήκε" προ μηνός (6 Δεκεμβρίου 2024) σε cd και σε ψηφιακή μορφή μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Theogonia Records...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Prepare for an epic sonic journey through the relentless forces of time and destiny with Desert Near The End's latest album, "Tides of Time". Blending the raw power of Power/Thrash Metal with the intensity of Death and Black Metal, this Athens-based five-piece continues to push the boundaries of metal with their most dynamic release to date.

Set for release on December 6th, 2024 via Theogonia Records," Tides of Time" promises a monumental listening experience filled with soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and powerful lyrical themes. Produced by Akis Prasinikas, and recorded, mixed, and mastered by Vasilis Pappas at Incorporated M. Studios, "Tides of Time" offers a polished yet brutal soundscape.

The album’s lyrical themes explore the rise and fall of cities, heroes, and kings, interweaving forgotten stories lost in time’s unrelenting tide. With an emphasis on grand, epic atmospheres, the album stands as a testament to Desert Near The End's evolving sound.

Key highlights of the album include Ruby Bouzioti’s haunting guest vocals on the track "Damnation" and Nik Rock’s acoustic guitar and effects on the emotionally charged "In the North of Every Man’s Heart...", adding unique textures to the band’s already expansive sound.

Visually, "Tides of Time" is brought to life by the stunning artwork of Panagiotis Vlamis, complemented by a meticulously crafted booklet designed by Giannis Nakos (Remedy Art Design).

The album captures the essence of Desert Near The End's journey into more epic territories, with live photos from Elena Vasilaki and Yannis Dolas adding a personal touch to the visual experience. With "Tides of Time", Desert Near The End delivers their most mature and expansive album yet, balancing technical aggression with epic grandeur.

Fans of Power, Thrash, Death, and Black Metal alike will find themselves swept up in this powerful saga of history, humanity, and destiny.»
