plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted August 31, 2016 Quote "True to the title, ‘Ely’s Heartbeat’ begins on the faint heartbeat of a close friend of the band’s child still in utero. It’s an arresting moment that makes the track much more than just waiting around for the loud part." / FACT Magazine And for those who haven't seen it yet, the full version of Requiem for Hell. 2 Ito and Original Saku reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) -Via their OHP- Tracklist: 1. Death in Rebirth 2. Stellar 3. Requiem for Hell 4. Ely's Hearbeat 5. The Last Scene Quote This album is a series of songs from a flood of inspirations in 2015. After writing song after song and giving them titles, we stumbled upon Dante’s “Divine Comedy” and the story struck a chord with us. “Divine Comedy”’s story about travelling down to Hell, through to purgatory, then from Heaven to reality turned out to be the same theme. This is when we decided to use Gustave Dóre’s illustration from “Divine Comedy”’s last scene as the main cover. Not long after, by pure luck once again, our long-time friend Jeremy (the owner of our American label Temporary Residence) had his first-born. She was named Ely. Jeremy had been sending us photos and her heartbeats from long before she was born. When Ely was born, we decided to dedicate one of our songs to her, with hopes of her listening to it when she is grown up, and decided to use her heartbeats as an intro on “Ely’s Heartbeat”. Through this album, we hope you can experience all life’s elements, from death and life, body and soul, hope and hopelessness, light and darkness, respect and honour transferred through generations, and new life. / MONO 2016 Edited August 31, 2016 by plastic_rainbow 2 Original Saku and Spectralion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Original Saku 1593 Posted September 28, 2016 Damn good! gave me goosebumps... also Quote Have you considered making a follow-up to Classical Punk and Echoes Under the Beauty? I haven't officially announced this yet, but I've started a new solo project and just finished the first album. The plan is to release it next spring. All the songs' themes are night, and I feel like it turned out to be a very original and beautiful album. I can't wait to share the album with everyone.
