Still, the following lyrics are haunting as they show a person who is outcast and reviled with no chance at redemption. That is what I imagine Hell sounds like on a regular basis. I have to admit that one of the biggest reasons I’m including this song, which appears on Still Life, is the cacophony of demonic howls that erupt forth at 3:27. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Both are romance stories at heart but are heavily saturated with death, fear, and horror. It wouldn’t shock me at all if Crimson Peak was inspired by this album. Because of his presence, she herself is unable to move on, and so creates the cyclical nature of the album, which ends at the beginning and begins at the end, forever stuck in a loop. However, he begins to harbor suspicions that she never truly loved him, her grieving not enough to convince him of her devotion. My Arms, Your Hearse, the band’s third album, is a concept album about a man who dies yet whose spirit remains because he is desperate to stay with the woman he loved. Rooms of eternal torture, reveal endurance of endless pain. The deceased awake from beyond their sleep. These are decomposed monstrosities roaming the land, their bodies falling more and more apart with every shuffling step they take. These aren’t clean looking creatures with a pale pallor. The descriptions given here remind me of both Ken Foree’s comment, “When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth,” and the zombies seen in Zombi. Essentially a lyrical representation of zombies rising from their graves in search of their next meal, it’s pure horror incarnate. This 1992 demo was featured on the 2000 reissue of the band’s second album Morningrise. I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness Just read these lyrics and tell me you don’t get a little bit of that feel: “In The Mist She Was Standing”Ĭoming from the band’s first album Orchid, there’s a section in these lyrics that makes me wonder if James Wan and Leigh Whannell didn’t use it as inspiration for the Bride in Black. Venture forth to marvel in this band and the glorious music they put forth, as well as the nightmare-inducing words that erupt from vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt. It’s that latter part that inspired me to write this piece, which highlights several songs and their lyrics as they sound like something right out of a horror novel that would rival Poe, Lovecraft, Stoker, Shelley, King, Barker, etc… I know that I personally felt myself swell with excitement as Opeth is one of my favorite bands.īecause of this news, I found myself revisiting their older material and marveling in their brilliant songwriting and sometimes horrifying lyrics. Special thanks go to Clabasster Records and NO CLEAN recent news this week that Swedish progressive rock/metal band Opeth had signed to Nuclear Blast Records and would be releasing their new album Sorceress this fall took the metal community by surprise as we hadn’t heard anything from the band in a while.

It is also a statement against people who have given up or have decided that true love doesn't exist. Finally, this year I've managed to record it and recruit a few session members who managed to raise the whole album on another level.Ĭrimson Storm is a metaphor for love, with all its beautiful, painful, incredible, awful, magical and violent dimensions that true love brings. „Crimson Storm is a concept album that I had in mind for years.
!!! WATCH THE LYRICS VIDEO FOR CRIMSON MAIDEN HERE: !!! Power of god unleashed, that no one understandsĪll are destined to die, the storm commandsĪnd once again, I reach my hand towards you, Mortals full of fear in vain hold their hands So fragile and pale, getting engulfed by dread Perpetual darkness that clenches the spineīreak those damned hands that steal you away I don't regret a single moment since we met I don't regret a single moment since we met“Īnd if we're not meant to rise from it yet And if we're not meant to rise from it yet Unseen by hollow creatures that are standing will-less.Īll empty but I found you, shaping an eternity. "Amid the slaves, two souls forming a crimson storm. "Is there a shred of my soul I haven't given to you yet?ĭon't let this become another memory of loss" If I can't save you with you I'd rather drown I just hope that through time you'll remain mineĪnd if the storms weave great waves of dismay
