Oathbreaker "Where I Live"

From The Album "Rheia" | In Stores Now: www.theoathbreakerreigns.com
"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.

[@1waste237]

I hear my name being whispered
In the morning
Do you read me?
Who am I? am I sound?
I remember my name

I know this sanctuary chime
The sound of the ticking rain
Then I step outside the blind alley

There you swallow my eyes and ears
I'm consumed by your vile disorder
Feel my weary heart expanding
Oh vulgar city you gave birth to me

When this riotous life leaves me alone
All the birds of the world will fly over
Reposing on this hidden rooftop
Where I'll grow white tulips all year through

But now the rooms are split in half
And I'm stuck on sides without doors
Though cats like us are solitary
The unavoidable nature of the beast

May all your truths unfold easily
Mine don't

1:38

[@luisraul864]

Reminds me of Underoath and Chiodos

[@andresruval]

wow, i'm not the only one, specially starting 4:05 it reminds me of Define the Great Line, something like Casting Such A Thin Shadow or the end of A Moment Suspended In Time

[@sfish6]

Yeah I’m so glad this band went the more screamo route than continuing with their thrashy stuff, this is much better

[@ginaarber7386]

The vocals could be louder. I enjoyed the audiotree session much more
