The Chasing Monster was born in Viterbo (Italy) in 2014, from an idea of a group of friends to express clear concepts through music and stories.
At the beginning, their sound was influenced by genres such as Post - Hardcore and Post - Metal but after the release of their self - titled debut EP, the band began to evolve, moving towards Post - Rock and Spoken Word with their next three singles, creating a strong following and high expectations among the general public as well as ind ustry professionals.
What sets the band apart is their use of narration linked to existential themes. The long - awaited debut album "Tales" will be released on 13 th January 2017 on Antigony Records and will be preceded by the release of two singles, "La Costante" featuring Theodore Freidolph (Acres) and "Itai".

There's still someone I don't wanna forget
So I'll spend my time here
I'll spend my time here for a while waiting for
I was afraid and I always pretended to follow you closely
When truth is
I was already scared to death following in your footsteps
No more sorrow, no more painLike being swept up in a storm
You can only surrender and let yourself be carried away
You were the sun-kissed leaf
I was the root hidden in darkness
And your shadow like a secret poisoned needle sewed my path
They say everything has already been formed that is destined to become ashes
But I will cross over mountains and seas
Overcoming infinite horizons to hold your memory
And through this long and winding path
I'll become Light.
The Chasing Monster's song, The Girl Who Travelled the World, is a story about a person who is unable to forget someone they cared deeply for. The first verse of the song talks about the singer wanting to spend more time remembering and perhaps finding closure. The second verse reveals that the person in question was someone that the singer was scared to follow, but felt compelled to do so nonetheless. These lines indicate that the relationship between these two people may have been tumultuous and worrisome for the singer.
However, the third verse of the song brings more positivity with the singer stating that they no longer want to feel sorrow or pain. The storm imagery used in the lyrics signify that the singer feels they have been taken away by the current of their feelings, and want to finally release any remaining stresses or negative emotions.
The song concludes with the singer acknowledging that everything eventually comes to an end, but they will travel and overcome obstacles to hold onto their memories of the person they cared for. By doing so, they hope to become lighter and have a better understanding of themselves.
Overall, the song's lyrics are poignant and emphasize the depths of human emotion, and how people try to cope with loss.

I can't rest yet
I cannot relax yet
There's still someone I don't wanna forget
I still have someone important to remember
So I'll spend my time here
I will utilize my time to stay here
I'll spend my time here for a while waiting for
I'll wait for a bit while staying here
I was afraid and I always pretended to follow you closely
I feigned to follow you closely, scared of what could happen
When truth is
The reality is
I was already scared to death following in your footsteps
Your actions frightened me
No more sorrow, no more pain
No longer will I experience grief or agony
Like being swept up in a storm
Similar to being caught in a tempest
You can only surrender and let yourself be carried away
One must give in and allow oneself to be taken by circumstances
You were the sun-kissed leaf
You were the vibrant foliage touched by the sun's rays
I was the root hidden in darkness
I was the obscure root concealed from view
And your shadow like a secret poisoned needle sewed my path
Your influence on me was subtle but detrimental
They say everything has already been formed that is destined to become ashes
It's claimed that all things are headed towards destruction
But I will cross over mountains and seas
Disregarding the challenges, I'll travel over any terrain
Overcoming infinite horizons to hold your memory
I'll surpass countless end points to keep your memory alive
And through this long and winding path
Traveling this extended and intricate route
I'll become Light.
I'll transform into a shining beacon

@rootweaver3227
Love the female spoken vocals, actually haven't heard those before in this genre. And the ethereal lead guitar from 0:44 onwards reminds me strongly of Of Machines which is a VERY good thing. Tranquil song, beautifully executed; well done lads.
@adefoe6552
Ayeeee, i feel you bro
Of machines is my favorite band shame they weren't able to finish the e.p.
@rootweaver3227
so they're not gonna release it at all? and after all the hype they posted on their facebook, how anti-climactic...
@adefoe6552
Yea man apparently they haven't been in contact with Dylan and that everything is done but his vocals so for the songs they have tracked they were gona let the fans do vocals some bs it sucks I was excited and then they disappointed
@rootweaver3227
How lame, Dylan is arguably the forefront of the whole band with his piercing vocal talent...to hear new material from them without him would be sub-standard in my opinion, especially after becoming so attuned to the sound that's found in AIEWHIP.
