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".

the chasing monster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goodbyes are like the end of a journey, you can only look back,
Hold on to your memories, whether you want it or not,
Whether you cry or you feel sorrow, never let them go.
They will follow you forever,
And they will knock on your door,
And they will keep you awake, stealing your sleep.
When you separate from someone you love,When you′re robbed of your chance of sharing
Every single moment with them and you're on your own.
In that moment, you truly realize how much it all meant.
But doesn′t it always happen after things like this,
That you begin to appreciate what you really have?
Maybe it's thanks to goodbyes that
We learn how to become better people.
And you Emm, you have nothing to worry about, because I,
I'll never leave your side,
And if this is a dream, I′ll stay with you, ′til the end."
EMM: "
It's not fair.
I should have met you before all of this happened.
We would have had more time for us, more time to tell more stories.
Yet, I feel like I′ve known you forever.
I've been thinking about this for a while but
I can′t recall the moment in which we've met.
The moment in which Aiden decided to follow us.
My memories are blurry and my thoughts are confused.
It almost seems like all of this..."
OLIVER: "
Emm!"
EMM: "
What?!"
OLIVER: "
The fire!The fire is dying out!
EMM: "
Hurry up!
Try putting more wood!"
OLIVER: "
I′m trying but it's useless.
It's totally useless!
EMM: "
No, no, please!
It can′t be happening.
It can′t be happening for real!"
OLIVER: "
Emm come closer!
It's getting darker!"
EMM: "
I can′t see you anymore.
I can't see anything!
Help me!
Oliver!
Oliveeeeeer!"
EMM: "...
Oliver.
Where are you?"
