1. The Day We Le… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands known as The Day We Left Earth.
1. The Day We Left Earth is a metalcore band from Norway and Sweden, formed in early 2022. The band consists of Norwegian clean vocalist Martin Bjerke (7 Days In Alaska), Swedish harsh vocalist Mikael Sehlin (Engel and Degradead), Swedish guitarist Mia Moilanen (Art Nation), drummer Tobias Solbakk (live drummer for Ihsahn), and Marius Kikut on synth and orchestral parts.
"While many will probably think about space and Sci-Fi when they see our name, It's not really about that at all. Its about freedom. Its about that moment when you decide to change something about your life for the better. When you take that step into the unknown. When you are scared and tired, but keep walking forward anyway. We will make music for those moments and for those people."
Their debut single, "EDEN," was released on April 15, 2022, followed by "THNDR" on May 27, 2022, and "Smoke + Mirrors" on July 8, 2022. Their debut EP, "Melancholia," featuring the new song "Melancholia" along with the three previous singles, was released on December 16, 2022.
"The song "Melancholia goes deep into depression and nihillistic philosophy. It's a tragic song, our greek theatre you might say. It's so sad to think that many may relate to this song on some level. Which is why we felt it was necessary to write it. But there's comfort in music, and there's strength in unity."
Their next single "Wasteland" was a collaboration with Swedish metalcore band Dead by April. The single was released on February 17, 2023.
Their single "The Wire" was released on April 28, 2023. It was followed by the single "Paradise" on June 9, 2023 and the single "Dead on Arrival" on August 18, 2023.
Lead vocalist Martin Bjerke has been instrumental in shaping the band's creative direction. On the band's Discord channel, Bjerke has offered insights into their approach, emphasizing a commitment to avoiding formulaic song structures and dedicating significant time to each composition to ensure depth and authenticity.
Bjerke's vision for the band extends beyond mere musical experimentation; it encompasses a desire to challenge the status quo within the metalcore genre. In discussions with fans on the Discord channel, he has expressed frustration with conventional songwriting formulas, stating that the band aims to break free from the constraints of predictability. Bjerke's dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic landscapes underscores The Day We Left Earth's commitment to evolution and innovation.
2. The Day We Left Earth is a post-rock group of five musicians from Copenhagen, all with various backgrounds in music. They mix different influences to form a grand & sonic sound with both melodic and heavier parts. They've been writing songs since late 2008 and are continuing to progress on their musical endeavours.
They started out as an instrumental post-rock band in late 2008. Some live recordings and demo songs were published on their Soundcloud page on April 22, 2010. It seems like the forming members and positions were guitarists Anders Kildebæk and Casper Hübertz, bassist Lars Mårtensson and Søren Kragh Simonsen on drums and percussion.
The self titled EP "The Day We Left Earth" was released on November 11, 2011. For this EP, they had Patrick Worm as a new bassist, while Lars Mårtensson switched roles to play synths, samples and percussion. The EP was produced, mixed and mastered by Kenn Hedegaard Eskildsen.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there peace, beyond this war
Cause I can't take it anymore
You won't break me down, you won't tear me under
All the secrets that I hide disappears with the tide
Such a beautiful lie, making me the bad guyYou are dead on arrival
All these troubled waters, had to navigate
You never wanted a bridge
I can't control myself, anymore
You won't break me down, you wont tear me under
All the secrets that I hide disappears with the tide
Such a beautiful lie, making me the bad guy
You are dead on arrival
The hunt begins with you
The hunt begins with you
You won't break me down, you won't tear me under
All the secrets that I hide disappears with the tide
Such a beautiful lie, making me the bad guy
You are dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
The lyrics to "Dead on Arrival" by The Day We Left Earth encapsulate the singer's struggle with finding peace amidst conflict and navigating troubled relationships. The opening lines, "Is there peace, beyond this war / Cause I can't take it anymore," express a yearning for resolution and an exhaustion from enduring continuous turmoil. The singer's emotional state is further depicted through the repetition of the phrase, "You won't break me down, you won't tear me under," indicating their determination to withstand the challenges they face.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of secrecy, with the line "All the secrets that I hide disappears with the tide." This suggests that the singer is burdened by unseen truths and possibly yearns for a fresh start or an escape from the consequences of their actions. They also feel trapped within a narrative where they are painted as the villain, as portrayed by the line "Such a beautiful lie, making me the bad guy." This implies the presence of manipulation or misunderstanding within their relationships.
The chorus, repeated multiple times, reinforces the stance of the singer, asserting that the other person is "dead on arrival." This could be interpreted as a metaphorical proclamation that the relationship is beyond repair or that the other person is detrimental to their well-being. The final line emphasizes the finality of this declaration, emphasizing that this state of being is absolute and irreversible.
Overall, "Dead on Arrival" explores themes of conflict, resilience, secrets, and the complexities of relationships. It showcases the singer's determination to protect themselves and find peace amidst chaotic circumstances.
