Bandcamp

Alioth from Chicago, IL, USA, founded 2001, was the solo project of Wargoat Obscurum (Cult of Daath), who released one demo in 2003 Channeling Unclean Spirits in the old Greek black/death metal style, i.e Varathron, Rotting Christ.

The Spanish Alioth was founded in 2001 by Juanjo, Santi and Javi. After recording a demo and the “enlistment” of Arnaldo and Álvaro, line-up was fixed by 2004. A lot of shows and the record of two more demos launched Alioth to release their first album “12 historias” in 2007, recorded by the engineer Carlos Lillo at RIMSHOT Studios, produced by Manolo Arias (Atlas, Ñu, Niágara..) and mastered by Mika Jussila (Nightwish, Children of Bodom, Him, The 69 Eyes…) at FINNVOX Studios.

The first Alioth album received great reviews from the media and a warm welcome from the audience. The strength, sound and variety in styles and lyrics show that the band is far from stereotypes. From the hard rocker “Sólo una noche” to the thrasher “Perros de Pavlov” going through the emotive “Madera de Encina”, the album songs grown on every kind of listeners and made very difficult to categorize the band. Also, in 2008, Alioth is chosen in second place as surprise band of the year by “Los + mejores” readers.

In 2009, Alioth records the second album. It’s recorded by Carlos at RIMSHOT too, produced by Manolo Arias and mastered by Mika Jussila at FINNVOX. With an outstanding evolution in sound and songs, it’s published on June under the title 30º Norte.... It contains twelve more songs where the band makes even clearer their intentions. It also includes a “Bonus Track” where they show, among other things, that they really enjoy what they do. For the good and the bad things, Alioth do what they want, they way they want, and always thinking in the final aim of their music: emotion and excitement.

Talk About It
Alioth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Say you wanna talk about it
But don't know how to conversate
So you wanna work it out
But it'll never be the same
What if we turn around
No it just doesn't work like that
I wake up and check my phone first thing in the morning
It's a bad habit I know it but I have to get going

Coffee for breakfast that's why they call me annoying
Called off for work just so I wouldn't be late
To the party you gave in your head
Save me a table
I mean save me a seat
Sorry I had you confused there
Smoked a whole bag of weed
So we could talk about dreams and stuff
Anything so you can pour your heart out to me
Just tell me what I could do
To change the way you think about me
I can still smell your perfume
Guess I was getting used to it
Say you wanna talk about it
But don't know how to conversate
So you wanna work it out
But it'll never be the same
What if we turn around
No it just doesn't work like that
I had reason to be suspicious about it
I know how It feels I know you got here
Let me show you how to turn this around
And stop digging a whole then figuring why you're stuck
Cause all this thinking got me going crazy
Oh I don't wanna do this anymore
So just tell me what I could do
To change the way you think about me
I can still smell your perfume
Guess I was getting used to it
Say you wanna talk about it
But don't know how to conversate
So you wanna work it out
But it'll never be the same

What if we turn around
No it just doesn't work like that

The conflicting emotions of hope and resignation are evident in lines like "So you wanna work it out, but it'll never be the same" and "What if we turn around, no it just doesn't work like that," reflecting a sense of acceptance of the reality of the situation.

There are hints of regret and self-awareness in the lyrics, with the singer reflecting on their own habits and actions that may have contributed to the relationship's challenges. The references to checking the phone first thing in the morning, indulging in bad habits, and feeling annoying suggest a level of introspection and understanding of their own role in the dynamic.

Overall, the song captures the complexity of trying to navigate difficult conversations and relationships, the struggle to communicate effectively, and the internal turmoil of wanting to fix things while feeling unsure about how to proceed.
