The influences pulled together by the group are diverse, from Nine Inch Nails to Iron Maiden and from Combichrist to The Dillinger Escape Plan. This eclectic mix makes for a style of music which is both i
intrinsically EBM/Industrial without being generic.
In the first few months of being, Cyferdyne have built a strong following, and have played with a number of the leading UK scene acts such as Surgyn, Method Cell and Flesh Eating Foundation, aiming to continue to expose their sound to new audiences wherever possible.
Their tracks, particularly ‘Feeling’, have been circulated through a number of popular internet radio stations, and have appeared on compilation CDs for various magazines and charity organisations. Reviews from magazines such as Coma and Blackvector have cemented an extremely positive reputation for the Cyferdyne creation.
They provide an emphatic and energetic live show, combining dual vocals with live synth and guitar work. Audiences have judged the band well, and continue to be both overwhelmed and affirmative with their reaction.
The band are hopeful that this strong initial impetus will continue to build as they become a more integral part of the UK EBM/Industrial scene.
Nova
Cyferdyne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mankind faces extinction."
"To kill you."
The fire that now surrounds us
The earth that we once knew
Just like a soul divided
As darkness creeps into our world
And shadows turn to ash
Our fates solidfy entwined
Amorphous cold and smashed
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten
Wasted in the dust
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten
Wasted in the dust
Chasing angels as they pass
Into a coal black sky
The hollow words you utter
The vacant cold black lies
Chasing angels as they pass
Into a coal black sky
The hollow words you utter
The vacant cold black lies
Engulfed in flames that rise and fall
Our dreams are torn apart
As night dawns all around us
They're falling faster, faster
Engulfed in flames that rise and fall
Our dreams are torn apart
As night dawns all around us
They're falling faster, faster
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten
Wasted in the dust
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten
Wasted in the dust
Chasing angels as they pass
Into a coal black sky
The hollow words you utter
The vacant cold black lies
Chasing angels as they pass
Into a coal black sky
The hollow words you utter
The vacant cold black lies
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten, wasted in the dust
We are the sons of gods
Forgotten, wasted in the dust
Let me fall
(Let me fall)
Let me fall
(Let me fall)
Let me fall
(Let me fall)
Let me fall
(Let me fall)
The opening lines of "Nova" by Cyferdyne paint a dark picture of the end of the world as we know it. Our sun is dying and human extinction is imminent. The world is engulfed in flames, and the earth we once knew is no more. The lyrics describe a feeling of hopelessness and despair as darkness creeps into our world, and our fates become entwined in the destruction.
Despite the bleakness of the situation, the chorus delivers an empowering message. The lyrics proclaim that humanity is the "sons of gods", forgotten and wasted, but still possessing an inherent strength and resilience. As the verses describe chasing angels into the black sky, the chorus reminds us that we are more than our circumstances. The hollow words and vacant lies that once surrounded us are no match for our indomitable spirit.
Overall, "Nova" by Cyferdyne is a powerful and poignant song that speaks to the human experience of facing adversity and overcoming it. The contrast between the despair of the verses and the hope of the chorus is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
