DAMNATIO MEMORIAE

by SYD KULT

supported by

Lute FP Being a pre-release, I am more reviewing the band than the album.

Syd Kult is one of my favorite BC finds. They perfectly meld melody with intensity, with a melancholic vibe throughout. While entirely different, I listen to them to find the same mood as when I listen to The Wall.

Their 2017 S/T album is my favorite of their catalog, and I’ll update this review when the album is released in full.

Head up, It's time to wake up Atomic Fear enslaved our years Strange days burn the ashes And a new God spills the young blood They sneak into the dark and devour you They sneak into the dark and devour all of you. Someday we're gonna face it, everybody knows what i'm talking about What you believed is gone since everything blew out And you're gonna face it, cause everybody knows and everybody lies I don't wanna live in the dark Run, hide, go faster and faster Unclosing eyes find the liar, the liar A storm and a plague, an endless fire The Lords of Void burn desire In the land of fools Where they wanna rule Hate is just a gun Pointed to the Sun So the preachers rise from unstable skies And give to angry minds a reason to cross the line When the preachers rise They blind your eyes Hate is just a gun Pointed to the Sun Unleash the dogs

I never break When the world goes down I stay awake Whatever you think I always get back on my feet I'm not your kind I don't wanna please you all the time I'm not a demagogue I always raise up from the Void Sometimes I feel it I cannot let it go Does time heal me? No one knows All along the way you can't bring me down Every night and day you can't get me wrong All along the way you can't break me down All along the way Sometimes i doubt Have we ever been free or ever fucked? But i never fall Life is a fight, a danger zone All along, you were wrong On and on, you were wrong
3.
Hey, turn off the light in your head Some waves are coming to drown us again Dark fate, above the law there's no chain Obey, the killers run for the reign We were born to fight the raw submission Ready to turn this world upside down A long freedom run We've been living on the edge so long We won't get salvation now our pride is gone But we will find a place where we belong Wait, we don't wanna be tamed alive Cause we ache within a world of denial Some hate grew up along our decades One way, I will not die as a slave
4.
When he comes to me He brings the world he sees And there's no love He just wanna see me undone When the lights go down I hope i never return And I wait alone Cause i'll never be his son I feel the madness in his eyes He wears the black disguise But I am standing tall And I wanna break my walls My walls, love could have broken walls My invisible walls He's a storm and a breeze But it seems so unreal When he closed the door My body was left on the floor I felt the madness in his eyes He wore the black disguise No one heard my call My walls, love could have broken walls My invisible walls

Ragged Flag 03:38
When the plague arrived The dogs of doom were out In the dead of night They came into my house Burning all we cried Stealing all we had Denial raped the rights Wait for the dawn A ragged flag is floating Find some exit Keep on fighting When the wolves are coming Ride the lightning Shine a light on me A light on me We have let them grow We never stopped the flow A way down to the low Wait for the dawn

Bittersweet 04:51
On a sunny day You led me to bliss Such a lovely day To be in peace No ache, no pain No sadness to embrace No doubt, no fail Nothing to hide from myself I take my time to feel it I rise above and enjoy it Bittersweet Along my spine And beneath my feet Just one more time Before the long sleep Let go, get slow From the skin to my bones Breathe, live, I used to be alone I take my time to feel it I rise above and enjoy it And our good times roll Led to nothing, i'm gonna leave you there Older feelings are never lost somewhere I cannot fake it because we're going nowhere Don't wait for something, i'm gonna leave you there

Deaf Call 04:37
When i woke up in the morning life was the same old day I drank a lot overnight but nothing leaves me away Then a hope comes and fades, I came back too late I'm on my way down, on my way down now Deaf call I took my car for a ride and roads lead to endless ways I saw the blackness in the lies and dreams of yesterday Then a hope comes and fades, I came back too late I'm on my way down, on my way down now In every scream I forget you In every word I reclaim you A long way to leave you, a long way to go Deaf call So I stopped in the middle of nowhere and i opened the trunk And the vision of the past came back when i tied the knot Then a hope comes and fades, I came back too late I'm on my way down, on my way down now Another bad day will end and i know that i won't be the same I'm gonna fix up the lies i learned everyday Maybe i would wait too long, but don't get me wrong There's no more way down, no more way down now
10.
I have no God Who waits above? I'm not a slave or a king, i come from nothing. I'm a mistake I met disgrace Refuse the lie cause i walk among the living. You think you know me Don't try to judge me You waste your time to understand what i'm supposed to be. I'm not the chosen one I wear the black crown This is my fate, look at me when i accept it. Hold your breath and kill your faith Wrapped in a trance we love it to death Hold your breath and kill your faith Wrapped in a trance we love it I am the one you create (Elect, Condemn, Erase) Remember what you wanna forget (Elect, Condemn, Erase) Something is asleep Inside the deep Wake up your mind, don't try to hide, there's no exit. Our world is insane Don't fear the flames We're all insane Don't fear me
