Oathbreaker "Being Able to Feel Nothing"

From The Album "Rheia" | In Stores Now: www.theoathbrea...
"Rheia" is the groundbreaking album from Belgium's Oathbreaker. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Loma Prieta), "Rheia" is a true game changer for the genre. Blurring lines and dissolving the boundaries of heavy music as we know it today.
Opener "10:56" begins with a haunting guitar riff and Caro Tanghe's beautifully sung vocal before abruptly soaring to new heights with "Second Son of R". Its blasts of melody mutate into a blackened buzz while waves of tempo changes pound down with intense emotional weight. "Being Able To Feel Nothing" then rolls in like a storm. Chaotically breaking apart to reveal the eye before churning once again. "Stay Here / Accroche-Moi" is an otherworldly reverb drenched acoustic number that leads to "Needles In Your Skin". A deeply personal song that showcases the artistic strength vulnerability brings. It's hard to believe that this is just the half way point of this post everything masterwork. "Immortals" then unfurls as a goose bump inducing monster. This leads to the ambitious "I'm Sorry, This Is", "Where I Live", and "Where I Leave”; A musical triptych that needs to be heard to be believed. All of it comes to an end with mesmerizing closer "Begeerte". Ethereally materializing before vanishing into the beautiful unknown.

My blood, my flesh, my veins Play with me My bones, my beast Play with me There's a starving beast inside my chest Playing with me until he's bored Then slowly burying his tusks in my flesh Crawling his way out, he rips open old wounds When I reach for the knife placed on the bedside table Its blade reflects my determined face To plant it in my chest And carve a hole so deep it snaps my veins Hollow me ouy, I want to feel empty Where I could see my master's thorns I'd start peeling the skin off his cheeks and Scratch his eyes until he could no longer see The blood stains dripping on the white sheets of my bed The stains I will never manage to remove Dripping all over the floor, I would drag myself outside As I open the front door the sun captures my weary face As the weight comes off, when I let go It's so strange, being able to feel nothing

These lyrics are so awesome and devastating at the same time!

[@jbasti227]

The chord progression that starts at 5:08 is one of my favorites

[@ulver1187]

How it transitions from "play with me" in to the breakdown type of thing at 5:08 is truly crazy

[@jbasti227]

One of my favorite riffs ever. It's so haunting and beautiful.

[@santosanto444]

5:08 that fucking chord progression and vocals made my cry every time

[@seabisquit]

this album has helped me through tough times and continues to, thank you mr oathbraker

[@lightningboltfiresnake4952]

can't even begin to contemplate how good this album is don't think I've heard any band make music like this before truly stands out in every sense as a groundbreaking album

[@svartiske3283]

While Peccatum is much older, their albums have a similar dynamic of clean and harsh sections. Ihsahn performs some excellent transitional material, while his wife Starofash brings an eerie lightness to the mix. (Lost in Reverie would be a good place to start)

This whole album is about childhood trauma.

[@doncanlebron6162]

I prefered the sound of their Audiotree performance, kinda captures a better feel of the vocals for me. Overall it's just a prefered mix for me.

[@gstrfst]

Same, even live Caro sounds better than in Rheia's mix

[@TudorVi]

I mean it's not uncommon for a live performance to be tied together better than the album version, especially if the band has a good day. The Audiotree version is awesome :)

[@PygmaApril]
