by Wall Of The Eyeless

SkunkBeatManiac thumbnail
SkunkBeatManiac High quality Progressive MDM album by a talented duo. The style somewhat resembles early Opeth in a way each song goes through several acts. Even though each track takes inspiration from many different styles of music, the sound here don't move too far away from death metal. They also tend to play faster and more aggressive compare to Opeth, which I prefer. Favorite track: FLICKER.

FLICKER 09:47
I want to jump at my own shadow But why can’t I move?.. So close your face to mine Who are you? I can’t see your face clearly. Grey fog surrounds us And embraces the trees in this alley. It was a strange place I woke up in today. I came to my senses and saw these eyes staring at me. All I want is just to go away Away from this face so catatonic and eerie. I can’t move but only blink. I’m so tired of losing faith In people I see on the streets. People who try to find but lose their ways After being knocked off their feet. Should we rewrite all the stories we’ve told? The stellar disguise is a hell of a treat. Nothing you touch will on the spot turn to gold, But the chance is still there while you still feel your heartbeat. I can’t move but only blink So I close my eyes – two walls in this space, Two walls to isolate me from this stare To stop seeing this face. But when I open my eyes again Another hazy face I see, But the eyes are the same even then Those same eyes are staring at me. Every single feeling, every single sight Became a shadow strolling through my head. I’m trying so hard to again feel all right And not to think of those who left And not to think of those who left You’re tied but didn’t see it before. Far from having a chance to escape, Left to stare into these eyes you can’t let go – The fact you are so afraid to face. Do we still believe in the stories we’ve told? Is the stellar disguise a hell of a treat? Nothing you touch will on the spot turn to gold. But the chance is still there while you still feel your heartbeat. The same eyes will be staring at you all your life If you don’t dare to face it, to move and go on. The same eyes you will see while trying to shelter in the crowd Go and find your peace now. Don’t consider yourself gone yet. / I woke up and went out into the street. Maybe I am still sleeping or maybe I never was. /

Cold. All alone In Here. Just snow And fear. Silence Makes my ears bleed. It’s like a long fall The pain, it stands tall. I close one eye And see half. I close both And see all. The trembling Of my hand, Where the nails are shining Bright, and I tend To escape And leave it behind Far away. Run! Today I wanted to find you And so I ran straight to your home. But I never found what I wanted to find Because there was no house, not even a stone. No more is the town this house was in. No more are the streets I once ran through. Only the memories left to make my skin way too thin. Nothing left to be found now. There’s no you. There’s no you. It's so cold.
3.
Running and screaming Aspiring to find the water that’ll cleanse you The comforting tide The body’s dirty and bleeding And even time's too tired Of you Tonight. Desolation makes every whisper sound so loud In this void where all are beheaded and lying on the ground. At a certain point no change can be made nor found. Once you’re here you won’t ever get out. The damnations you spat out didn’t save you. The damnations you spat out didn’t hurt anyone but you. They didn’t hurt anyone ‘cos no one accepted your fucking insults. They are for you. You are purulent from the inside. For you. And you’ll rot away. Farewell. Goodbye.

Do you have this hole in your chest In which the wind sings its whistling song? That makes you lose all the things which are best And bleeds and hurts for oh so long. Our blood doesn’t unite us But it will always feed the soil The soil we stand on just like in the past With hands so weak from this hardest toil. Wrapping ourselves in the mist of words Losing ourselves among the mirrored smiles We forget that all the doors will someday close And that we don’t have that much time. There will never be peace While we’re at war with ourselves Until we are complete As long as we hide our wounded hollowness so well Looking on life through the looking glass And pretend that we don’t see a thing Time runs out first and it runs out fast And it knows best how to make you sink. Everyone can wake up at the very bottom Where darkness clings so tight that it blinds the eyes. But no one’s walk of life is defined We all can try not to lose this priceless gift of life.

WotE in press:

"It is astonishing to me that Wall of the Eyeless are without a record deal. Their debut demo Through Emptiness received an amazing response and their follow up Wimfolsfestta is remarkable in its growth. Combining progressive elements with brutal death metal showcases a band that is ready to make the jump to the next level. The musicianship and songwriting are top notch."
- Unsigned band of the month at heavymetal.about.com - May 2013

"Everything about the release is top notch down to the packaging and presentation and I truly hope these guys continue to release music of this quality and that a label notices them and gives them much more exposure as they are one of the more promising unsigned acts I have heard recently."
