(1) A Progressive rock band, formed in late 2004 in Caracas, Venezuela, with the idea of making music without any kind of limits. Formed by three guitars, bass, keyboards and drums, adding a “cuatro” (typical venezuelan instrument) once in a while, you get to see a not so common line-up inside the standards of the genre.
Shortly after the inception of the band, in may 2005, they won the prestigious “Festival Alma Mater Rock” in Caracas, being the first instrumental band in getting that award. Through 2006, they kept on playing live shows and in 2007 they took a break from playing live so they could start working on their first album, which was due sometime around 2008. The album's name will be Nature/Existence and it should come out some time in 2009. Besides this, the band will be appearing in two compilation albums put together by Colossus Magazine (Finland) and Musea Records (France): Rökstenen: a tribute to Swedish progressive rock of the 70's and Paradiso based on Dante's Divine Comedy.

(2) An Ambient Post-Hardcore/Post-Metal project based in Winchester, UK.
Echoes formed in November 2010. Their debut album "Transcendent" is followed by their new album "The Pursuit" which can be purchased through iTunes or via their website.

Having only been the final line-up since the summer of 2010, their music has developed already into a more mature sound that nods at their contemporaries. Since the start of the self-produced album the band have worked solidly to promote themselves and have made several connections with promoters and other bands. Their music has been described as "perfect sweeping soundscapes", and they bring a fresh style to the young UK hardcore scene.

(16) (Incorrect redirect) Echos, the Portland duo, fall into a genreless mist of both cinematic post-rock style instrumentation and left-of-center pop writing; paving a new path, and style along the way. Clash Magazine notes Echos are "Oddly infectious […] in an electronic haze”. Often self-referential and coated in bitter-romance lyricism, Echos brings the angst of 2006’s emo days and reinvents it with 2018’s anti-pop pop-music. Have been working with with online promotional mecca ‘MrSuicideSheep’ and his label ‘Seeking Blue’ for the last 3+ years – Echos has seen the fortune of millions of streams, impressions, and eyes on their music. Finding importance in the physical, Echos has not only seen gains digitally, but they have found themselves supporting large-room sold out tours with electronic acts like Illenium, on the festival stages of Electric Forest, Snowglobe, and more as well as a bus tour with Alternative metal good-boys ‘I See Stars’.

(17) A Berlin based post-punk/new wave band who formed in 2019 and released their first demo in July 2020. Their Bandcamp: https://echoesberlin.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020

Empty Lungs
Echoes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You speak to me
When your world is caving in
And you're choking in your sin
Jump in the water and let the current pull you in
Mercy come
Freedom reign
Open hearts
Keep the faith

The deaf will hear
And the crippled will walk
The blind will see
And the dumb will talk
We're set free

This river is like no other
It'll raise the dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Echoes's song "Empty Lungs" contain a message of hope and redemption in times of struggle and sin. The first lines show the singer addressing someone who is going through difficulties and is unable to cope with them. The advice given is to immerse oneself in the flow of life, to let go and surrender to the power of the river, a symbol of grace and renewal. The repeated call for mercy and freedom suggests that the person may feel burdened by guilt or shame, and needs to be released from their chains. The expression "open hearts" relates to the idea that love and compassion are key to healing and connecting with others, as well as with God.

The chorus expands on this theme, using biblical references to describe the miraculous effects of faith and belief. The blind, deaf and crippled represent physical and mental disabilities that can limit one's ability to perceive and enjoy life. By invoking these images, the song suggests that the power of the divine can overcome any kind of obstacle or hardship, and that salvation is available to all. The refrain "we're set free" reinforces the idea that salvation is not just a personal experience, but a collective one, that can bring people together and create a sense of unity and purpose.
