Memories I have lost
pain I’ve trusted
Suffering till now
BACK HOME WHEN THE SUN ESCAPES WHEN DARKNESS DESCENDS
I‘m coming home
Numb i feel tastes bittersweet
All of a sudden
I wake up and realize
BACK HOME WHEN THE SUN ESCAPES WHEN DARKNESS DESCENDS
I‘m coming home
For a Second I Stopp and stare
Swim in the sea of bliss
I feel no pain

The Dead Don't Sleep

Time passes - memories won’t sleep
Let me travel again - there’s so much more to feed
In a moment I can open doors
For a second or more - The is time for cure
THE DEAD DON’T SLEEP
When there’s lightning there is gold
I saw the silver lining out in the cold
My constant fear of loosing you
The reason to move on
THE DEAD DON’T SLEEP

Burns like fire
I drink from my desire
I travel my world in a little paper bag
Search for lust and ecstasy
I keep my souls a set me free
MY FIRE MY FIRE STARTS TO GLOW
MY FIRE
Last drop on the sand I drink from old
I wish to see the new and the old
A galaxy, to a closer look
My fingers bleed a wake-up call
MY FIRE MY FIRE STARTS TO GLOW
MY FIRE
Burns like fire
I drink from my desire
I travel my world in a little paper bag
MY FIRE MY FIRE STARTS TO GLOW
MY FIRE‘S BURNING LOW
MY FIRE MY FIRE STARTS TO GLOW
MY FIRE‘S BURNING LOW

Under A Different Sky

I clean my soul
Of dirt and monotony
With tears in my eyes
I‘m standing here icy
Drowning in oceans of smiles
Wonder of life before my eyes
Easy melodies
driving in my head
Under A different sky
You seem satisfied
Feet on the ground
Feel balanced right
Barefeet standing strong
The sky clears up again
Pure Happiness
Magic relief
Better Living enhanced soul
Driving me insanity
You cleaned my soul
Of dirt and monotony
The joy in my eyes

Sorrow
And mourning
Like dark blankets
Cover the light
It‘s cold
It‘s cold and freezing
The fire in the night took your life away
Sorrow and mourning
The fire in the night took your life away
Still hold my breath
And stand beside you
I salute you
For the very last drink
It’s cold
It’s cold and freezing
The fire in the night took your life away
Sorrow and mourning
The fire in the night took your life away

Angels Never Come
06:53
|
|||
|
In service of ghoulish joy
Spreading fear and sadness
Consolation was the next morning
Dew drips from the bloom
He was seen with pleasure
And satisfaction
He spoke of many deaths
Smell of rot was in the air
My gaze rested
a spotted paleness
Shaking like a leaf
I resist seduction
He was seen with pleasure
And satisfaction
He spoke of many deaths
Smell of rot was in the air
Angels never come
We lost ourselves in the dark
Listen carefully
That I don’t miss anything
I eagerly opened
A letter with your answer
Locked secrets
I looked at you and told you
He was seen with pleasure
And satisfaction
He spoke of many deaths
Smell of rot was in the air
Angels never come
We lost ourselves in the dark
Listen carefully
That I don’t miss anything

Master of Shiver
05:31
|
|||
|
With darkened voices you speak to me
Our world is lonely
The guilty pleasures the love & passion
You’re a leader of darkness
The sins creating of magic potion
The world shivers in dark creation
Voices of the blackened room
Your evil smile of doom
You’ve died a thousand times
Creator of a million crimes deleted happiness
You dream sinister dreams
A single fear cause many scars
You’ve let the nightmare begin

Free The Ravens Fly
06:00
|
|||
|
Black the shadows from above
A master written by some evil
A connection for he loved
Unreal world
Magic reality
Friendship betrayal
Rescue through love
Sympathy resistance
free the ravens fly
And the moon is rising high
Overcome the darkness
Convert the power
Lurking fear
Manipulation
Desire for freedom
To rebellion
Free the ravens fly
And the moon is rising high
Overcome the darkness
convert the power

about
Hailing from Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany’s NAEVUS was originally formed in 1991 as a death metal trio. Various lineup changes and musical alterations led to the first demo Quixotic Dreams in 1993. The second demo, A Sad Illusion, arrived a year later bearing a doomier sound and clean vocals. In 1995 the Autumn Sun demo was recorded and released, with the lineup still existing today: Uwe Groebel (vocals / lead guitar), Oliver Grosshans (guitar), Sven Heimerdinger (bass), and Mathias Straub (drums). The demo – influenced by Trouble, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Black Sabbath – received very good international reviews and finally led to the first recording contract in 1997 with Lee Dorrian’s Rise Above Records. The recordings were made at Vielklang Studio in Berlin where The Obsessed’s debut and Saint Vitus’ V were recorded. Bearing the title Sun Meditation, NAEVUS’ debut album was released in March 1998.
Thereafter, NAEVUS’ musical style continued to develop. This was followed by the 14 Inches of Fury four-way split with Revelation, Twisted Tower Dire, and Grief of God as well as the song “R.I.P” on the Trouble tribute album. After family and professional changes, the band went their separate ways in 1999, while at the same time, Mathias Straub and Oliver Grosshans founded the epic power metal band Sacred Steel. From then on, Uwe Groebel dedicated himself to the doom trio Voodooshock with further song ideas, before the band got back together in 2012 and the first rehearsals for the reunion show with Saint Vitus began. Originally, they only wanted to play the old songs again, but the joy of playing meant that new songs were not long in coming. In 2016, the second long-player, Heavy Burden, was released and garnered with internationally positive reviews.
In 2023, recordings began for a third album. At last here, Back Home is its title, and quite aptly. NAEVUS are nothing if not consistent, and within the opening minute – hell, even seconds – you are right Back Home with their warm, emotive doom. And yet, while NAEVUS’ traditional-yet-signature sound remains stronger than ever, the means of arriving at that have changed some. Nowadays, the band acts more flexibly and arranges the entire songs together, which was previously almost exclusively reserved for Uwe Groebel. Groebel’s vocals are as melodically hypnotic as ever, too, with the very personal lyrics imparting loss and grief but also with love and hope – a quality surely highlighted by the man’s warm pipes. Cementing this sensation of warmth and comfort – effectively, being Back Home – the cover art was once again created by Roland Scriver.
DYING VICTIMS is honored to bring NAEVUS Back Home, and the album’s release show will take place with old tape-trading friend Patrick Walker of 40 Watt Sun and Warning at Schwarzer Keiler, Stuttgart on October 2nd.

Very close in quality to their second album for me. It shows that Wytch Hazel keep delivering highest quality hard rock/heavy metal. There's no weak track on here and it's an absolute joy listening to it.

Having set an amazing track record until now, we definitely know what we can expect of them at this point. This album also does not disappoint and they actually do deliver a bit of an update to their formula here. This LP has a very upbeat and warm feel and is catchy as hell with so many legit sing-along tracks.

The new heirs to the epic metal throne! A flurry of both speedy and doomy riffs, melodic guitar interplay, an inventive rhythm section, and haunting vocals merge into a coherent whole with depth, ferocity, and grace. Up the Hammers and Hail the Goddess!

This album is my absolute favorite of them. With their strong songwriting, they really made a relentlessly good album. No fillers to be found on here. Darker, more emotional and unbelievable stunning work.
