After some demos and EP's the first full-length album 'Under The Northern Sky' was released in 2001. The album was received very well by both the press and the fans.
Released in 2003, 'Ice Upon The Night' is the album that made Immortal Souls known to both sides of the Atlantic. It was released Europe by Fear Dark records and in North America by Facedown records, where it sold nearly 5,000 copies so far. After the release Immortal Souls toured Europe twice, playing festivals and clubs in Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Norway. And of course they also played the famous Tuska Festival in Finland.
To please the fans who didn’t get hold of their older releases, Fear Dark re-released the complete history of Immortal Souls on ‘Once Upon A Time In The North’. This special 2-CD digipack includes their complete debut-cd ‘Under The Northern Sky’, their two sold-out ep’s ‘Divine Wintertime’ and ‘The Cleansing’ and some rare demo-tracks. Together with the old material two new songs can be found on this double-album.
In 2007, Immortal Souls signed a new recording contract with Dutch label Dark Balance Records, which would handle its future releases in Europe. The band also released 'Wintereich', their third full-length album. The album is a four-part concept album and has been well-received by fans thus far.
UNTIL
Immortal Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changing my view to things I see
See my inner world on collide
With another that I left outside
I lived for hate so many years
I tried to hide from pain and tears
Tears I wept all for vain
In world of grief I was until
Until Until...
I lived for greed conscience seared
But all I possessed was only fear
Fear grew in a shapes of gray
In world of grief I was until
Until I tasted blood of His vine
Until Until...
Until I tasted blood of His vine
Until Until...
The lyrics of Immortal Souls' song "Until" touches upon the themes of spiritual transformation, redemption, and the power of faith. The verses talk about the changes that the singer has gone through over the years, going from a life of hatred and greed to one where they find solace in their faith. The song highlights the internal struggle of a person who has been lost and is trying to find their way back to the light. The line 'Years have passed before me/Changing my view to things I see' refers to the passage of time and how it has brought about a gradual shift in the singer's perspective of the world around them.
In the first stanza, the singer speaks of their inner world colliding with the outside world. This implies the singer has been living in a state of constant conflict with themselves and the world outside. They have been trying to escape the pain and tears through hate and greed, but it has all been in vain. However, in the second stanza, they find hope in their faith, and the lines 'Until I tasted blood of His vine' are a clear reference to the blood of Christ, which represents the transformative power of faith in Christian theology. The repetition of 'Until' is used to emphasize the before and after state of the singer's life, before they found peace in their faith and afterward.
Line by Line Meaning
Years have passed before me
Time has moved on, bringing change to my life
Changing my view to things I see
As time passes, my perspective on life shifts
See my inner world on collide
My inner thoughts and emotions are at odds with each other
With another that I left outside
My external actions do not align with my internal struggles
I lived for hate so many years
I spent a significant portion of my life filled with anger and resentment towards others
I tried to hide from pain and tears
I attempted to avoid emotional pain and sadness
Tears I wept all for vain
The tears I shed were without purpose or meaning
In world of grief I was until
I was trapped in a world of sorrow and despair
Until I tasted blood of His vine
My life changed when I experienced a spiritual awakening
Until Until...
This awakening had a profound impact on my life
I lived for greed conscience seared
I was consumed by desires for material possessions, which led to a loss of moral values
But all I possessed was only fear
Despite my desire for wealth, I was held back by fear
Fear grew in a shapes of gray
My fear became overwhelming and difficult to define
In world of grief I was until
Once again, I found myself lost in a world of sorrow and despair
Until I tasted blood of His vine
My spiritual awakening helped me to see the world in a new light
Until Until...
The awakening had a significant impact on my life
Until I tasted blood of His vine
This phrase continues to reinforce the importance of the spiritual awakening in changing the course of the artist's life
Until Until...
This repetition adds emphasis to the profound impact of the spiritual awakening
