Signs of ReigN - "Tethered" (lyric video)

Forgotten scene that's coming your way
Our own that sits out, rolling
Far weighs your sorrow's death
All to wake up love upsetting

Tethered, We must survive
Tethered, We must survive

Compelling mind that's melting away
Far gone to follow, groaning
Our stage calls unaware
All to wake up love unsetting

Tethered, We must awake
Tethered, We must forsake

Get it from the tendency
That stabbed us long ago
All we know is solitude
That kicks against the goads
Fearing that our waiting's gone
Led on our saddened road
Folly is the only thing
That we have ever known

Tethered by hypocrisy
That keeps us falling blind
Failing to awake we're falling
Deeper in the grind
Longing to be set free
To busy to remind

Tarnished by this world oozing emptiness
Unending scheme imposing unconsciousness
Bits and pieces of us are scattered now
The abyss beads the sweat on our bough
Tug of war between Angelic hosts
Caught in crossfire of what matters most
We're all tethered, reluctant casualties
Of war bound spiritual leagues

Οι Signs of ReigN μας έρχονται από τις ΗΠΑ. US power/prog συγκρότημα, το οποίο δηλώνει ως επιρροές μπάντες όπως οι Queensryche, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Crimson Glory και μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι:

«Signs Of ReigN is a classic but fresh sounding progressive, melodic metal band from Minneapolis MN. A mixture of complex rhythms, head banging riffs, poetic and thought provoking lyrics with a powerful message that ride on a dynamic melody.»

Προ διετίας κυκλοφόρησαν το ντεμπούτο τους, το οποίο τιτλοφορείται "New Beginning". Προ ημερών "βγήκε" τα δεύτερο album τους υπό τον τίτλο "Awaken From Disguise". Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι βασικός συνθέτης της μπάντας (συν κιθαρίστας, μπασίστας) είναι ο Matt Johnson, τον οποίο απολαύσαμε φέτος και στον δίσκο των Grief Collector "From Dissension to Avowal" που κυκλοφόρησε την άνοιξη...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The latest 2019 release from Signs Of ReigN called "Awaken From Disguise" is their best collection of songs to date. Over 56 minutes of soaring melodies, thought provoking lyrics, tempo changes, unique arrangements and top notch musicianship all fit into songs you will love to listen and get lost in.

Clearly this is a band that knows what they want to sound like and have an incredible sense of creating songs within songs that keep you guessing on every track. "Awaken From Disguise" may be the best underground album of 2019 for melodic progressive metal and that many will not know about.

Only true fans of this genre' will seek it out and share with the world. If you love classic Queensryche, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Crimson Glory this album is a must have.»
