Listen to "Almost Human" here!

Described as “shamelessly melodic”, Maraton pushes the boundaries and mixes styles of prog, rock and pop into an utterly mesmerizing sound of their own! The band released their debut album titled “META” earlier this year, and received massive praise from the media, naming it “a masterpiece”(Ekklektik Rock, FR) and “genre-transcending sound” (Aardschok, BE). The album also entered “Top 5 Albums of the Month“ by Eclipsed Mag (DE) and with soon to be over 1 million streams across all platforms, Maraton is Norway’s most streamed prog debut band of 2018/19 and also the only Norwegian act to perform at Roskilde Festival with only 1 single previously released!
To extend the life of their debut “Meta” released on April 26th, two new singles have been released this Fall; "Fringe Logic" (already out) and "Almost Human" (out now!). 


The band’s vocalist, Fredrik Bergersen, has commented: “’Almost Human’ is what you could call a "tail" from our album META,  released on April 26th. With soon over 1 million streams online, we felt that the album was missing a vital part of it. The story was not complete as a whole. The main theme of the album is us contemplating around the mental aspect of being human. What makes you, you. What makes your identity so significant, and the insecurities that come along with growing into it. Almost Human is the final chapter of an era, and will be the last addition to the "Meta" universe". 

 

 

 

Almost Human Lyrics:

Flaws in my equation
keep impulses in line
This bodily fixation
is twisted to the spine
 
But you
Could change it if you tried
Yeah, you could change what is inside

It glows beneath the iris
It guides me when i speak
It hides until I’m tired
And blossoms when I’m weak

 
But you
Could change it if you try
Yeah, you could change what’s inside
 
Almost Human
Almost frail
Is there someone
behind the veil
Almost human
Almost changed
I’m forever
I remain
 
What ever you are into
What ever gets you off
I promise that I’m weirder
I never get enough
 
This parasite
keeps hope alive
It’s out of sight
 
Almost Human
Almost frail
Is there someone
behind the veil
Almost human
Almost changed
I`m forever
I remain
 
Is it human
Can you even tell
If it`s true then
some part of me is gone
If it`s human
Can you even tell?
