In Your Eyes ezine In Your Eyes ezine : Dopo un silenzio di 15 anni o poco più, i Lumsk tornano con un nuovo album, il quarto della loro carriera. ”Fremmede Toner” ce li riporta alla luce in ottima forma, dopo una serie di avvicendamenti, che ne hanno momentaneamente compromesso il futuro, rallentando la produzione dell’album.

Alice M. Nice Amenra vibes at times (Belgium as well, now that I think about it). Not sure I was getting those from the Acedia album I once tried out.

musicfed Their best yet! Simply crushing (but also weirdly uplifting) Favorite track: Mournful.
Feral Bob

Feral Bob The vocal performance is unhinged and frankly terrifying. The chanted passages ooze with menace, and the clean singing juxtaposes those feral screams perfectly. When the brutality arrives, nothing is held back; it’s pure emotion delivered with impressive technical skill. That’s a rare thing. Guitars, bass, drums… all staggeringly good throughout, with great hooks hidden amidst the ferocity. Seriously, this is really good songwriting, highlighted by a stunning production. At times I nearly died…

Darknight The fact is I can't stop listening to Winterreise, the blistering post metal and the non stop heaviness of the black metal riffage also the atmosphere of the whole album is so damn beautiful. Lethvm have created one of the albums of 2023, it could even be my number one, I have been completely blown away by this stunning record. Favorite track: Torrents.

Blank 05:03
BLANK You can’t be my suns I don’t hear what it tells me I saw three suns stand in the sky And they stood there as blank and bright and watch me As if they would not leave my sight. You cannot be my suns Not long ago I had three of my own But now the best two have gone down And the third might disappear ! In darkness I would better fare You cannot be my suns You would not leave my sight When the snow flies in my face I brush it away When my heart exclaims in my breast Complaining is for fools Don’t hear what it tells me Complaining is for fools I sing bright and cheery Spite all wind and weather we are gods

Pretence 06:21
PRETENCE Hiding your eyes you were here for me I gladly fall for such colorful trickery as, beyond ice and night and misery and within it a warm hearted soul my only success is in pretence ! Hiding your eyes you were here for me My heart sees in the sky its own painted portrait How the storm has torn The grey mantle of heaven ! The wisps of cloud flutter about, jostling feebly I reckon this a morning to match my frame of mind ! There is nothing A friendly light dances in front of me There is nothing It is nothing but winter I follow it high and low I follow it As it lures the traveler onward Anybody as wretched as I My heart sees in the sky its own painted portrait

Torrents 06:33
TORRENTS Many a tear from my eyes Has dropped into the snow When the grass begins to grow, A warm breeze will blow there Many a tear from my eyes Has dropped into the snow When the grass begins to grow, A warm breeze will blow there When the grass begins to grow, And the ice will melt in torrents Say which way will you flow ? Just follow my tears : Their stream will soon carry you away. When you feel my tears grow warm, That will be my sweetheart’s house. You lied cold and motionless How silent you have become Stretched out in the sand You’ve covered youself On your crust I carve with a sharp stone The name of my beloved and the hour and the day The day I first met her Many a tear from my eyes Have droppped into the snow Under its crust is there a roaring torrent ?

Carved 05:57
CARVED Why should I stay longer until they drive me away Why should I stay Sweetheart Why should I stay I will not disturb your dreams Why should I stay Sweetheart Love Why should I stay longer until they drive me away Why should I stay Sweetheart Even in the darkness I had to close my eyes Come here to me In its shadow I have dreamed Full many a sweet dream O tears, my tears, I have carved Full many a loving word There you would have found rest Indoors the wind plays with hearts What do they care ? O tears, my tears, I have carved Full many a loving word There you would have found rest

Mournful 07:28
MOURNFUL How far still to my funerals Pity the air is so calm Lonely and ungreeted When the storms still howled I was not so miserable Like a mournful cloud Passing through clear sky When through the fir tops A gentle breeze blows So I wend my way Onward with halting step Through bright, happy life Through bright, happy life Through bright, happy life Lonely and Ungreeted How far still to my funerals to my funerals I’m already old That makes me glad. I’m already old Which makes me glad. My heart Pourquoi es-tu donc encore tellement bouleversée ? My beloved

Night 04:47 video
NIGHT It’s a sad night We need to take the time In this sad night We shall not fall I learn while in pain The path to happiness I will stand by you to burn and rip apart each tear Bend the world to your knees I learn while in pain I learn while in pain In this sad night We need to take the time In this sad night The chaos of a racing heart Between passion and reason You shall rise like a work of heart We shall not We shall not fall I hear your voice whistling in my ear I hear your voice flying around me I will stand by you

about

With this third album, Lethvm deeper explore emotions that have always been at the centre of the band : anger, melancholy and solitude. Those feelings are articulated using poems from the 19th century written by Wilhelm Müller and already set to music by Franz Schubert in 1827 in the song cycle Winter Journey. These texts have been a great source of inspiration during the composition process and the band wanted to interpret them freely. Every note and every silence is created to transport both musicians as well as listeners during the dark winter.
