Oblivion Protocol - 'Forests in the Fallout' (official lyric video)
Oblivion Protocol is now underway
It’s too late to turn back now
You have xx seconds to clear the area
I still see the picture
Of all that we were into
Not shaken or stirred
Thought we ruled the world
You know we always meant to
But time can turn the tables
And facts become the fables
Who’ll tell the story of our faded glory
When we’re no longer able
And it’s time to fade away?
We’re forests in the fallout
We’re desolate and worn out
So hide us in the corner
Forget you ever saw us
Lost in the past from the force of the blast
Till the prophecies are born out
We’re forests in the fallout
And the night rolls into day
So what we knew as reason
Is now considered poison
The atmosphere changed
Nothing old remains
And honesty is treason
And all this devastation
From shire to town to nation
Won’t fade to black
Or bring the good times back
Won’t help us find salvation
All our dreams will fade away
We’re forests in the fallout
We’re desolate and worn out
So hide us in the corner
Forget you ever saw us
Lost in the past from the force of the blast
Till the prophecies are born out
We’re forests in the fallout
And the night rolls into day
We were darkened by the first wave
The second took us down
So cordon off the test site
And hide us underground
And some things can’t be undone
Once you light the fuse
‘Cos actions all have outcomes
So be careful what you choose
We were darkened by the first wave
The second took us down
And it’s time to fade away
We’re forests in the fallout
We’re desolate and worn out
So hide us in the corner
Forget you ever saw us
Lost in the past from the force of the blast
Till the prophecies are born out
We’re forests in the fallout
And the night rolls into day
You have xx seconds to clear the area
It’s too late to turn back now
You have xx seconds to clear the area
I still see the picture
Of all that we were into
Not shaken or stirred
Thought we ruled the world
You know we always meant to
But time can turn the tables
And facts become the fables
Who’ll tell the story of our faded glory
When we’re no longer able
And it’s time to fade away?
We’re forests in the fallout
We’re desolate and worn out
So hide us in the corner
Forget you ever saw us
Lost in the past from the force of the blast
Till the prophecies are born out
We’re forests in the fallout
And the night rolls into day
So what we knew as reason
Is now considered poison
The atmosphere changed
Nothing old remains
And honesty is treason
And all this devastation
From shire to town to nation
Won’t fade to black
Or bring the good times back
Won’t help us find salvation
All our dreams will fade away
We’re forests in the fallout
We’re desolate and worn out
So hide us in the corner
Forget you ever saw us
Lost in the past from the force of the blast

Lost in the past from the force of the blast
Till the prophecies are born out
We’re forests in the fallout
And the night rolls into day
You have xx seconds to clear the area
«When my Threshold bandmates decided not to record a sequel to the 'Legends of the Shires' story. I knew I wanted to stay in that world a little longer, so I wrote my own sequel called 'The Fall of the Shires'. I just did it for myself at first, but when it was finished I started to wonder about releasing it» μας λέει ο (πληκτράς των Threshold) Richard West και κάπως έτσι δημιουργήθηκαν οι Oblivion Protocol.
Το ντεμπούτο τους ("The Fall of the Shires") θα κυκλοφορήσει τον επόμενο μήνα (18 Αυγούστου 2023) μέσω της Atomic Fire Records, ενώ την μπάντα συμπληρώνουν ο κιθαρίστας (των Within Temptation, Maiden United κλπ) Ruud Jolie, ο μπασίστας (των Darkwater και πρώην των Pain of Salvation) Simon Andersson και ο drummer Darby Todd.
Παρακολουθούμε το lyric video του τραγουδιού "Forests in the Fallout", για το οποίο ο Richard West μας λέει σχετικά: «At the end of "Legends Of The Shires", the protagonist considers a number of possible futures ("maybe a painter, a guide, a clerk, a maker, or maybe a writer, a king, a star, a fighter"). So the sequel tells the story of him becoming the king and the consequences of that choice. In the opening song, he decides that the only way to control the population is to suppress and control them, so the shires become a much darker place.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «At its best, prog can be a safe haven from the storm outside, a soothing experience with healing and escapist qualities. Genuine musicianship, pure emotion and a penchant for supreme melody make this music a journey, an experience for which records and headphones were invented in the first place.
At the forefront of prog music stands Richard West, renowned keyboard wizard and songwriter for British prog metal pioneers Threshold for over 30 years. Six years after their epic masterpiece "Legends of the Shires", West returns to these shores to deliver a long-awaited sequel.
Not under the Threshold moniker, mind you. But with a brand new supergroup. Prog fans far and wide, rejoice: Oblivion Protocol are here. And they bring us "The Fall of the Shires".
We can be very thankful for that: Oblivion Protocol will immediately claim a place in the hearts of every prog connoisseur, delivering a dense, climactic sound somewhere between Rush, Steven Wilson, "Dark Side of the Moon" era Pink Floyd and occult hard rock masters Ghost.»
