This is my transmission
Are you there?
Can you hear me calling you?
If you care to listen
Know that this is all that’s left
For me to do
I don’t need your blessings
I don’t need you to understand
I just want you to accept this
But I’ll survive if that’s something
That I can’t have
I’m sending out a message
I have to go, I know not where
I have to do this on my own
And you can join me if you dare
But I’m not waiting for you
This is my admission
Of the sins that I’ve committed
And will commit again
Without remorse, inhibition, or fear
I don’t want your forgiveness
Only your ear
I’m tired of running in circles
Wishing that God
Would get me right next time
I’m sick of searching for purpose
I’ve realized that I don’t matter
I never mattered; that’s why
No, I’m not waiting for you
I’m not waiting for you
One of the few technical death metal albums out there whose dizzying virtuosity is matched by its transcendental melodicism. A favourite of mine for many years, and likely for many more. Anna Pest
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
