📓 Burden Bearer Lyrics:
I hold it within me
Unbearable weight
This chain around my neck
I hold it within
Immeasurable pain
I carry it all
Beyond loss
Beyond any earthly pain
Make no mistake
This is a prison
This world of walls
Caging me in
I bear the burden
Bear the burden with me
I carry it all
I feel I’m worsening
Slave to the human condition
Worthless human perspective
Pathetic human struggles
Instinctively failing
Forever destined
To leave my place
In this world
Carry the burden with me

Dude, this song makes me feel like I'm in the middle of the world ending

[@clout9gr363]

You are.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

so this is quite clearly their best album yes?

[@moonshelter3448]

Yep. And not only their) I would say it's one of the best albums in ma whole life. And I was born in USSR so... I've heard tons of albums of different genres. This one is a pure art. The other metall bands can cry already)😂

[@Joose]

Easily. And that's saying a lot, because everything they've done has been fucking great.

[@ourRuin]

It's hard to improve on perfection (spoiler: they improved on perfection)

Gonna let it sink in for a bit, but for some reason I always come back to their self titled

2:25 so heavy words cannot even describe it

[@themightydenis]

That thing at around 2:58, THAT! Is one of the heaviest, saddest most beautiful thing EVER

[@nikolausnagel]

"I feel im worsening" i pretty much crumble and emotions completely flood me. The absolute soul crushing chug behind it just hammers all the pain and anguish Filip is really trying to portray and i really feel every little bit of it. this song is beyond art.

[@HeavyReign12]

Same here. It is the perfect album closer. The entire album it is hammering this extremely pecemistic outlook on someone's life (as in whichever "character" in the album that is singing these lyrics) that I have found way too relatable these days. Just feeling like there is no escape from my situation in the near future. The "I feel I'm worsening" part made me cry the first time I listened while watching the visualizer. It makes my heart ache for whoever feels that way and realizing it is me who also feels that way. Forever destined to leave my place in this world.

[@bl4cksk4d87]

2:59 my eyes started watering its sick

[@apoisonedgift4966]

I honestly, truly did not think that a track would beat instill for me... but bearer is just... words cannot express. What a way to end such an amazing album jesus

[@blackcatfancy]

This song is mesmerizing. Moved to tears.

[@HeavyReign12]

The first time I heard it some tears flowed for me too. I didn't expect it at all.

[@estebanclouthier8521]

3:34 This makes you feel suspended with nothing at your feet, before the next note hits you feel time stretching... this is black hole density. It drawns you to the black hole the human condition is.

[@martindavis205]

This is basically AOTY for me

[@WesleyKhalil]

This song is devastating.

[@proddreamatnight]

2:58 christ dude this gets stuck on loop in my head for hours

[@LordZapata]

HLB might be the only Band capable of combining pure chaos, ambiance/mystery und structure/groove to music this heavy... this and the whole album is sheer brilliance.

[@Aoichanpiano]

Vildhjarta too

[@nikolausnagel]

i find it hard to bring what im feeling listening to this song over and over again into words. i truly cannot describe it.

[@HubertX15]

Masterpiece

[@BURDENOH]

Bearer is easily my favorite song from this band. Painfully relatable. If the void had a sound, it’s the instrumental.

[@melomaniac334]

What an atmospheric track! So heavy and captivating. The vocals just pierce my soul and the drums are perfection! May be my favorite from the album. I need to see this band live!

[@padufhtagn2106]

Funny how a piece of art this dark and depressing can bring me so much joy. I have only respect and gratitude for you guys and Vildh. You will be truly immortal to me.

[@Puckosar]

Its pure catharsis

[@Gabaghoooul]

Just discovered these guys through a Nik Nocturnal video, BLOWN AWAY 🖤 Whole song is disgusting and 3:00-the end is definitely unreal!!!

[@user-vd2zk1mq7z]

шедэврально круто 🥰🤘

[@Isinforblood]

2:54 that drop tuning was just blasphemous and dark at the same time, like holy shit!!! 💀🖤

[@elios7623]

timeless

[@moonshelter3448]

This song has some dark magic vibes for me. The whole album is magic. I need more of your art guys. You are the future of metall. Or should I say THALL hahah love you and thank you for this gift. Also sick visuals. Actually my love to your band started with them lol I'd love to say it was an accident but... I feel it was more of a destiny. Just too many coincidences and I almost don't believe in them.

[@Typerhaze]

thats exactly how i described this album in my review... it puts you under a spell similar to a psychedelic trip.. so good!!!

[@moonshelter3448]

​@@Typerhazewow cool! And yep I agree. Also I love so much all the dark experimental stuff. Funny how my love to the experimental cinema engaged me with this band.

[@Sam-gz7bl]

i've seen your comment on instill, if you really discovered metal and this band by accident on their sickest breakdown ever yes it's probably the destiny

[@moonshelter3448]

​@@Sam-gz7blthank you. Yep it was probably a destiny. Cause I fell in love so quickly hah...

[@AllShaaaallPerish]

Burden Bearer is their best song since Abysmal Mouth IMO. This song has to be one of the heaviest songs ive ever heard as a metalhead of 18 years. This track is my favorite of this record easily.

[@voidovnknwn]

the lyrics with that solo ugh so fucking outstanding

[@lukeyj4843]

My brain melted 😅

[@Moumszk]

From 2:30 onwards it's pure fcking atmospheric filth

[@latincreamk1ng]

This is illegally heavy. What a masterpiece

[@gomaaren]

to me, this track (with burden as intro) felt the most serious, and is currently my favorite from the new album. 3:07 for some reason felt really emotional

[@nothng7853]

That's the cries of your family, friends and everyone dying around you as you watch during the end of the world as nature unleashes it's wrath. This is what it makes me feel like. Those melancholic thall bends are no joke.

[@Logan717-is6et]

Feels like home, thank you.

Anybody else think humanity's Last Breath is just a tad bit overated? I'm probably in the minority but I always feel so let down every time I listen to one of their songs. Maybe it's because I'm no longer in my downtempo 0-0-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0 era but I can never find myself enjoying their music even tho you think it'd be a metalhead's dream

[@broccoliking6668]

piss.

[@HeavyReign12]

Confused how a band you never liked can "let you down." I like HLB because the mixing is the best I have ever heard, or atleast it is what sounds best to me. On top of this they are always doing things no other band is really doing, Buster's riffs (maybe Calle's on this song, don't know who wrote what) are instantly recognizable and unique to HLB/Vildhjarta. You can't listen to a song like Earthless by HLB and mistake it for any other band but them, not to mention it is ridiculously heavy. An appreciation for less is more makes HLB heavier than other bands that try too hard to be heavy and just sound muddy. Or just have a wall of sound with blast beats. That is why I enjoy HLB more than most bands. Nobody really brings this up either, but I am seeing it more with this album's release but the vocals are really good too. Sure they aren't doing deathcore snarls but they just sound brutal. They're very low without doing the tunnel throat thing that is so overplayed in metal.

[@goofygoob0373]

I don't see it as one long breakdown. This style is not the same traditional breakdown you hear in most deathcore imo.
