SWEDISH VAK RELEASE A NEW SINGLE WITH HEAVY RIFFS, GROOVY TUNES AND LYRICS ABOUT DECAY
"Melting Eyes" is taken from the new album (due Aug 23rd), which marks the band's return from the dead. During 2018, one of the members of the band suffered from Lemierre’s syndrome and a thrombose in the head - but after being hospitalized in intensive care he fortunately recovered. Now, VAK is back from the dead, with the brilliant album "Loud Wind" mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna).
“an album you should be paying attention to!”
Metal Injection (US)
“[…] a style that is difficult to pin down. Sludge? Progressive Metal? Alternative Rock? Yes and no. The Swedes process all these influences into a complex, independent sound.”
Metal.de (GER)
The band on the single:
"”Melting Eyes” contains an imaginary play with the intersection of heat and coldness as colliding forces within human decay… this is somewhat an afterward explanation, but nevertheless, many of the lyrics of the album contain intuitive variations of the themes of the decay of mind, human and society in relation to the violence of nature."
Lyrics for Melting Eyes:
Time freezes
The earth above the sun
Time freezes
And disappears in sound
Hold on to nothing
Yellow burning eyes
Sun comes closer
Roars from out of sea
Frozen underworld
Frozen, ice cold tone
And then you are gone
Melting eyes
You are gone
Forever yours
Tearing eyes
You are gone
Feel it boil
And bleed it out
Still frozen
Play the sound of end
Frozen underworld
Frozen, ice cold tone
And then you are gone
Melting eyes
You are gone
Forever yours
Tearing eyes
You are gone
