Soundchaser This album was quite the revelation. Even though it's their debut, Symptoms of the Universe showcase immense compositional skills from the get-go. From the varied vocal approaches to the agility with which they mix genres, complemented by a great melodic sensibility, there are plenty of emotionally resonant moments throughout these 9 tracks. I think Eternal Gloom should be on the radar of prog and post metal fans. Favorite track: The Sun No Longer Sets.

Black sun covers the sky As we approach this useless life A constant hate-filled discomfort Trying to get back to what I once felt But nothing will ever change I'm in my darkest place, to date Confined in my minds’ corner I won't get back again Never want to read your name again, even by mistake Completely sure, once and for all Filth is what you're all made of The epitome of inhumanity All compressed in a meaningless being Surrounded by an eternal gloom We strive for the futile nothing Carried by common thought Inherently Walking Days go by Disowning this pointless existence A numbing nascence Secluded in the cold of a disillusioned positivity Whereas every glimpse of prospective is vain Leavin' me, I've lost my self-esteem This void generates a feeling of a misleading effort to keep on going Surrounded by an eternal gloom We strive for the futile nothing Carried by common thought Inherently walking

How it was, it will always be I swear that I saw you in my sleep Soul's crushed, torn, aching Nobody Cares I won't let time erase, what I know you were I won't let you become a memory The sun no longer sets above you all The sun no longer sets for your dearest ones I knew you, I know you! Events cannot delete parts of us The soul is not lost, it is just wandering The sun no longer sets above you all What’s mine by right, I will achieve I promise! Even if you're not here no more I will! Sun Swallow us all!

Per Anna 04:56
Mia cara, prima di lasciarti andare, vorrei dirti delle cose, che la mia voce non potrà mai esprimere. Innanzitutto, scusa per la schifosa visione che ti sto dando, ma sai, non è bello neanche per me. Non avevo altra scelta. Mi dispiace, mi dispiace che tu debba sopportare anche questo che tu mi sia stata vicino, che mi abbia voluto bene. Stanotte sono andato in campagna, mi sembrava il luogo adatto, non ho ricordi lì, era la via più semplice. Ti chiedo scusa per il gesto, ma non per quello che ho fatto, sarebbe stato oltremodo difficile vivere i prossimi mesi al tuo fianco. In ospedale l’altro giorno, ho pianto da solo dopo aver scherzato e riso non posso più fingere. Sei una donna forte, i bambini lo sanno, baciali per me. e di loro che quello è il bacio di papà. Non odiarmi per questo, è l’unico gesto di amore nei miei confronti di tutta la mia vita. Adesso sto bene, adesso sono in pace. Sei stata la mia forza verso il passo finale, sei stata la mia forza finché ero in vita, il mio ultimo pensiero prima di spirare, l’ultima parola che ho pronunciato. Gli altri non capiranno, lasciali parlare. Loro non hanno torto, ma io ho ragione.

Witnessed 06:46
I have a mist of voices Writhing my fucking head Compelled to disclose the secret Before my forthcoming death I know that it won't last long And I have yet to confess Never having spoken It's my only regret The long buried lie Devour me inside The memory unfold As the present turns into past For what I saw (It triggers me!) And what I know I couldn't run and I want to go I HAVE WITNESSED! I am the one who everything has seen But I couldn't talk or my freedom would have been put to sleep No reprieve for alleged murders I'm not free to be alive Clouds coming closer, the sun twitches over my head I've seen her falling After that burst No way I’ll ever recover For all the pain I’ve let you discover You once were the light inside my night The shallow gleam of hope in my chaotic life The inability of never getting you back Makes me shed bloody tears That drip and rip a wound on my neck I slit my own throat in the hope to see you again.

Hollow Soul 05:20
An everlasting hatred Corrupting my emotions I fought so hard, before losing An hollow soul Now dragged into sadness Getting ready for the burial When everything starts crumbling Cause the conscience hath The terrible duty of reminding you What you really are An everlasting hatred Corrupting my emotions I fought so hard, before losing But mind over matter Am I struggling for a better after, Only to be judged by an unknown justice? An everlasting hatred Corrupting my emotions I fought so hard, before losing Don't let me drown in the glimmering light After I’m pale in anger Rage on sleeping eyelids lays Digging it's place down in my soul Pain is the mind killer It leaves livid invisible marks That keep on poking, forever Death is the only solution!
8.
Have you ever stared at the void? Have you ever seen blood turn black? You strive for a sunset when you've nothing left The downward spiral exist I'm living in a dream-like state Where I can’t afford to breathe My eyelids are open, but I’m not awake Take my life away Suppress my existence Cease my own light Is this what life's supposed to be like? I'm my own martyr But I can't seem to change it I am doomed cover me in dirt Bury my fucking body Six feet deep.
