Echoes of the Future

by Æolian

supported by

sachavonkarl74 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.

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
2.	Dreams or Reality 03:43	lyrics	buy track
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
3.	The Miracle 03:26	lyrics	buy track
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
4.	Her Grief 04:09	lyrics	buy track
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
5.	Like a Blackened Sun 04:42	lyrics	buy track
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…
6.	Into the Flames 04:04	lyrics	buy track
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
7.	Lords of Greed 03:51	lyrics	buy track
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
8.	Echoes of the Future 03:57	lyrics	buy track
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
9.	Chronicles of the Fall 11:36	lyrics	buy track
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

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.

The Army of Gaia stormed into Switzerland a few weeks back (on tour with Vader and Vomitory) and the Greek Gods Aetherian completely overwhelmed me with joy! Damn this is good! Melodic DM masterpiece indeed! I really love all songs but am really obsessed with the first four. Can't wait to see them live on stage again soon! Fans of Rotting Christ would like these Greek guys too :) sachavonkarl74
