Echoes of the Future

Melodic death metal from Spain reminiscent of Swedish MDM, early In Flames and Dark Tranquility style. Very catchy melodies and raspy vocals really putting me back in the mood of In Flames’ Whoracle album. What a pleasure! Will need to give Æolian‘s older releases a listen too!
Favorite track: Her Grief.

Hominis Obscura
04:53
|
|||
|
Darker than your soul
I fall in the sundown
I'm the power who destroys
Disguised as the enemy
Now I see your time
There's no hope for us... at all
Now I see your dying eyes
Lights blackened within... immortal...
Petrified, with no way out
Held back, condemned soul
Reborn… from hell…
Hominis obscura will rise again
Darkness… Prevails…
Hominis obscura shall black the earth
I am a heritage of lies
I am the wind and the disease
I am the silent witness, the arise of ancient evil
The lost angels never die
Slaves of your mind
No pride for our kind
Dark seeds of light
False angels like saviors
With every life we take
Every heart we gain
In a field full of ashes
Waiting for condemnation
|

Dreams or Reality
03:43
|
|||
|
I dream with towers of tall silver peaks…
With food for old kings of man
There was no room for classes or grades
And caring… for the underprivileged
I’ve dreamed of a great dome…
Able of the strangest wonders
I’ve dreamed of you, with a star on the ground
A few seconds away, your glory escaped
And your big eyes inward
And your sinking hearts at once stopped
Consumed by greed and gold
And your broken dreams approach
A bright future on the clear shore
Of the eternal lake of mercy… endless
There was no life in the woods
Colored lights and stinking clouds
There are ditches full of corpses
Watching… destruction come
I am between dreams, I seal our fate
You’re tied to the shadows, between dreams and reality
I dream of towers…
With food for all kinds of men
There was no room for classes or grades
Will rise again

The Miracle
03:26
|
|||
|
It’s a master stroke
A flaming ball of stone
A sacred vessel made by the old ones
Protecting the light from void
Destroying life, every little soul
We have to find
ANOTHER WAY TO GROW
Across the lands, erasing our hopes
We have to get
ANOTHER WAY TO GROW
Among all creation
The foolish rise like fire
You feed like hunger, like a starved demon
Profaning all wisp of life
You have lighted a pyre
Fueled by all that is pure
By all that’s sweet and fragile
You're wasting the miracle
In the name of progress…
Every simple being glows with its own light
Cry out for a place where harmony prevails
|

Her Grief
04:09
|
|||
|
Anointed prince, condemned to walk through…
Atomic flames fruit of belligerence
A saviour raised without creed nor bigotry
Who will lead us to the world of tomorrow
Sacrificed… by his kind
Betrayed… by his own hand
Sell out… by their peers
Forgotten… by his people
Winter mourning, sons dying too soon
Are vain attempts that fail to endure
We cannot wander out of control
Spread our sickness to every place
And then she begged for mercy
Her tears fell to the ground
Heirs of power
No eyes to see
Worms eyeless
Blinded and burned
Her tears fell to the ground
Living proof of her endless grief
|

Like a Blackened Sun
04:42
|
|||
|
Voices that feeds a liar
Reflexions of pain… a saint made of lies
That rain that feeds
Our memory lost… drowning on sorrow
For the fallen crawling the sun
For the lost we’re lying
The meaning of it all
Crushing the times of fear and sadness
We the beggars who chose to hide
In these days of dark
We are light for the ones we loved
In the end of times
The shadows of the past are vast
Nor brightness or illusion
Hope has faded away… like a blackened sun
Repined with spines
Punished, bent and torn
Hanging bodies…
With knots made by themselves
Lives seems so fragile
Bad seeds in a fallow land
The only remedy…
Is to make us disappear…
The only choice
The Meaning of life
It’s time to cry
The Meaning is…

Into the Flames
04:04
|
|||
|
Within the city that burns it all
There was nothing left
I am the smoke that turned into death
I am the demon… from farther day
One day the flame will cease to burn
The days will dwell in the cold
Thy Serpent devouring it all
In our fire
Fire in pyres made of coal
Condemning the world
Until nothing is left alive
Into The Flame of lies
We’ll suffocate
Into The Flames… the flames of disgrace
The forests are plains of doom
The seas are spitting sulphur
When the last of your kind dies
This barren land shall rule again
One day the flame will cease to burn
The days will dwell in the cold
Our serpent is devouring all
The fire of mankind
We burn, we crush
Until nothing is left alive

Lords of Greed
03:51
|
|||
|
I am the king that never was
You are my queen, you stole the light
I gave you hope and lies
I am life
I bring you worms and fire
I am death
The sun sets hiding your name
Condemned to disappear
Sons of arrogance
Lords of Greed
I am the future, burying our hopes today
I am the wicked who drowns your dreams
I am the future, feeding on rotting flesh
From this forsaken hole that suffocates
I am the king that never was
Your golden gift showing distress
Ominous, impure, counterfeit
Selfish, ludicrous, grotesque…
I gave you hope and lies
I am life
I bring you worms and fire
I am death
The sun sets hiding your name
Condemned to disappear
Sons of arrogance
Lords of Greed

Echoes of the Future
03:57
|
|||
|
You breathed and suffocated
In a downward illusion
You buried the truth deep inside
For we alone just… survived
No peace in a future… without a soul
A lawless fate, worthless of hope
Hunger and disease
War and meanness
Call me an alarmist…
Don't shoot the messenger
Just nightmares or echoes of the future
Nor shattered minds into the deep
The moon is lost in the sky, the lights off
The sun a vague memory of clarity
Punished in an eternal hell of pain

Chronicles of the Fall
11:36
|
|||
|
The skies are dark and the winds howl
While the world is plunged into chaos and confusion
We see the signs but continue to deny
The end is near, the chronicles of the fall
It is we who bring about our demise
With our greed and our hate, we seal our fate
As we drown in the ashes of our own making
The chronicles of the fall
The cities crumble, the oceans rise
As nature reclaims what has been taken by mankind
But we fight on, for power and profit
To the bitter end, the chronicles of the fall
We are the ones who brought about our demise
With our greed and our hate, we seal our fate
As we drown in the ashes of our own making
The chronicles of the fall
We look to the stars, in search of salvation
But it is too late, for our own creation
We have come to the brink, of our own extinction
The chronicles of the fall
As the last light fades away, and the world falls silent
We realize the cost, of our own violence
We could not change, the course of destiny
We are the ones who brought about our demise
With our greed and our hatred, we sealed our fate
As we drown in the ashes of our own creation
The chronicles of the fall

A City in the Stars
Temple for the mankind
Years of peace
Years of war again
Lessons, survival, last Apple of Science
Years of darkness, evolution, the rebirth in balance
We fed on bugs, our last resource
Evil then began
We hid underground
A new world from black
New beginning from the past
Years of peace
Years of war again
Lessons, survival, last Apple of Science
Years of darkness, evolution, the rebirth in balance
Five damaged souls, a lonely way
A dying sun light
We get frozen over
Leaving me with emptiness
In a fight you’re losing now
And away from a new day
As your whispers fade away
You will be ready again
The old one is fading away
Giving way to new days
New times and new life

Wastelands - Bonus Track
04:03
|
|||
|
In the future we'll eat the remains of civilization
Not so distant for you
Years under the cloak of war
Gave way to drought and hunger
And after millions died…
We just realized, the problem was us
We took over your wasted lands
Ravaged by locusts
Welcome to this world
Just come and see, empty
Welcome to these lands
Just come and see, wasted lands
We die in your wasted lands
We’ll never be young again
Nothing really cares
No more children’s breath in this world
Blessed be who ignores
Come and see... Arrogance
Blessed be who preys
Come and see... Parasites
In the future we'll eat the remains of civilization.
So close to the abyss of souls
An endless cycle of destruction
Your poisoned land and water wells
Then the great wars came
We were too many, nobody on charge

about
"Echoes of the Future" closes a trilogy that began with "The Silent Witness", which told us about the greatness and resilience of nature and the danger to which we submit its fragile balance, and that the sophomore "The Negationist" developed in a present day in which we refuse to see how the human being has affected and threatened that balance.
In "Echoes of the Future" Aeolian embarks on a journey through the next centuries and puts us in the shoes of our counterparts from a not so distant future who will guide us on a journey through the difficulties and great dilemmas of humanity in order to survive on a planet that is increasingly inhospitable.

Le death metal sous sa forme mélodique est un genre que j'apprécie sans que ce soit ma tasse de thé pour autant — ça reste trop propre et contrôlé pour moi. Come The Tide a donc été une surprise car Eternal Storm m'a devancé, me faisant boire la tasse ! Au lieu de dominer le paysage à la manière de Caspar David Friedrich, la formation espagnole se le prend de plein fouet : les arpèges changent au fil des saisons, la batterie tonne et s'effondre, le chant alterne entre poésie et sauvagerie !

Since the disbanding of Dawn of Disease, I was left with a void to fill. Fortunately, Aetherian is here to the rescue with At Storm's Edge, a beautiful melodic death metal piece reminiscent of my favorites Dawn of Disease, Insomnium, Be'Lakor, Nyktophobia, and Amon Amarth. The entire album is well-written and produced. Highly recommended!
