The band was then contacted by Acle Kahney (TesseracT guitarist and producer) about mixing and mastering the songs. Working closely with him on the sounds and textures of the album, Moments (the title of the band’s debut full length) developed into a dynamic and immense listening experience. The album uniquely combines the ferocity and rawness of modern metal with delicate and expansive atmospheres. The result is a sound that is accessible while maintaining a detailed and complex framework.
"We feel this album is a culmination of the different compositional techniques that we've experimented with over the last few years. We like to take the basic song structures and let them ferment and slowly add layers to the mix until we are satisfied. Some of these songs have taken a while to fully mature." comments Dan.
Regarding the band’s lyrical style, Josh states "We take a somewhat different approach to our lyrical composition. We try to keep each song focused on a single story or concept, while lending to a much larger picture and message. This ultimately leaves room for interpretation by the listener, helping each person to have their own unique experience."
With the recent signing to InsideOut Music/Century Media Records, 2012 proves to be an exciting year.
Eventide
Stealing Axion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In "Eventide," Stealing Axion creates a haunting atmosphere that captures the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics convey a sense of being forgotten and abandoned, with the line "tell me am I forgotten, lonely so is the world." The singer has been hiding away for years, and there is a feeling of desperation in the line "tell me why are you searching, running I'm running away." Despite the fear, the singer reflects on how they've grown over time, saying "grown I've grown, I'm showing the path to salvation."
However, despite this growth, there is also a sense of regret and guilt, with the repeated lines "countless lives fade to black on my hands, can I go back?" The singer has sacrificed everything in pursuit of something, perhaps a cause or a belief, but with the realization that something has been lost in the process. The chorus "growing dark eventide looking back deep inside" captures this feeling of regret, as the singer questions whether it was all worth it.
Overall, "Eventide" is a journey through a tumultuous emotional landscape, exploring themes of loneliness, growth, sacrifice, and regret.
