Grown Below arose from the ashes of Timer in early 2011, continuing the path to the full album The Long Now with the same sound, but more evolved. With the rising of this fresh band the decision fell that from then on Matthijs (who previously was the singer of Timer) also took on the guitar and helped the band sound more like it should. Grown Below may be influenced by the usual suspects (Cult of Luna, Isis, Tool etc.) but they certainly go beyond being mere epigones. Mixing ambient and atmospheric pieces with beastly heavy monolithic blows to the head, their music results in a promising and unique sound that can only be grasped as dark and utterly bleak.

'The debut album of a Belgian band Grown Below “The Long Now” presents another approach to mixture of such genres as post rock and sludge metal. The band succeeded to find their unique composition and sound. “The Long Now” will surely be appreciated by fans of such bands as Isis, Mouth Of The Architect and, especially, Cult Of Luna. The CD comes as a limited edition digipack with a booklet.' (Slow Burn Records)

The Abyss
Grown Below Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will take my hand
We will not forget
The day we have met
If I should fall down
Lead me through your gate
I hope I will find
I will not allow
These dark hours
Taking you away
We'll survive this world
Our true homecoming
Your eyes see through me
No sir I won't run
But we'll watch upon
Our marked abyss
Every time it's true
Every time much ado (sic)
I won't let it take you
Seas will turn on us
The earth won't spare us
Mountains we must climb
To save ourselves in time
I won't fan the fire
I'm not disguising
I will not break
Because
They say I will
I'm not
I won't fan the fire
Turning myself in
I will not break
Because
They say I will
I'm not
The lyrics of Grown Below's The Abyss appear to be a declaration of steadfastness and loyalty between two people, with one reassuring the other that they will not fall down and will always be there to take their hand, no matter what happens. The singer expresses a hope that they will find their loved one's arms in the end if they should fall down, and vows not to allow the dark hours of life to take their partner away from them. They acknowledge that they are entering an abyss or dark time, but declare that they will not run and will watch it together, ensuring that they won't let it take their loved one from them.
The lyrics also touch upon the rough nature of life, with the seas, earth, and mountains presenting obstacles that the couple must overcome in order to survive in this world. The singer declares that they won't fan the fire or disguise their feelings, and that they won't break even though others may say they will. Ultimately, the lyrics seem to emphasize the strength of the bond between two people and their ability to endure and overcome life's challenges together.
