I Die, You Soar is probably the most depressing
disc I have ever heard. The songs are depressing, hopeless and full of despair. The vocals express pain and anguish in a way
that I have never heard before and have yet to hear again. Even the picture of the singer (Martin Karlsson) is depressing
as his eyes gaze into nothing as if dwelling on the hopelessness of life. I can count numerous quotes from these songs that
exude despair...
"Suffering and love seem to have the same face"
"Crush all my faith, sorrow turns to hate
Please
don't leave me here, please don't save my life"
"And she makes me cry and crumble like a child
I will no more, endure
this rape so wild"
"Everyone's watching but still I die, you soar
Although I am gone, a leechrope found, but still
you soar"
and on and on....and these are just off the top of my head.
The music is mid to slow placed and atmospheric
metal with some keyboards and interludes of piano and background piano behind crunchy riffs. Man is it depressing...I love
it.
If you enjoy depressing music like I do or like to listen to it only when you are feeling downed..this is the disc
for you. It seems very personal in it's topics and delivery. It is not poppy like To Die For or Entwine or over the top as
Sentenced in the suicide way...just a very dark, depressing disc whose haunting melodies, atmospheres and lyrics will course
through you and emit the emotions of depression that you may or may not desire....
Favorites: All of them...
The
only reason this is not a 100/100 for me is the last songs contains some deathy vocals......so close to perfection for this
style....
94 / 100
