For the Storms The Void Below
For The Storms - The Void Below [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Released September 6, 2024.
Taken from the album "Losing What's Left Of Us" to be released on October 12, 2024 by Meuse Music Records.
---------------
FOR THE STORMS is a post doom-death/ sludge metal project born in 2019 in Brescia (Italy).
The project comes from the necessity and desire to narrate one's experiences, thoughts, and conjectures on existence and non-existence.
The music, born as a simple outlet, has now evolved into a much more mature self-analysis, culminating in a poetic-philosophical exposition on mortality, change, and individual definition.
The style is characterized by contrasting sounds, heavy riffs, and expansive atmospheres ranging from the heaviness of a thousand mountains to the lightness of emptiness.
This emerging genre, besides being a hybrid taking a lot from other subgenres, also constitutes a sensitive deepening of artistic meaning and values contemporary and traditional culture and personal feelings, pushing back against the superficiality and ignorance that seem to stir in today’s music.
"Music is not just a passion but a way of being, a reason for living. We all have different backgrounds in terms of personal, emotional, and professional spheres. However, an invisible thread connects us, binds us, and keeps us closely united in one goal: Saying something meaningful and to spreading our music, allowing it to be appreciated by those who are willing to engage in listening to something profound, with lyrics dense in meaning and unique sounds that draw from classic but revisited doom in a modern key with experimental ambient hints winking at many different styles."
---------------
Losing What’s Left of Us is a minimalistic album in which every note has been carefully picked in order to convey a sense of dissolution and austere loss.
The album is divided in three stylistically differentiated chapters arked by the two different interludes. The three chapters show a progressive hybridization of the main musical influences as some sort of inherent entropy. The album as a whole also presents a somewhat symmetrical and quasi-fractal hidden structure that is meant to symbolically keep the underlying balance of life itself without compromising the whole downhill concept we tried to tackle.
Losing What’s Left of Us is both a dirge for the fleeting trail of tombs we leave on this earth as we are passing by and an ode to the uncertainty and transience we cannot leave behind.

Lyrics:
Feel the void below
(We dwell on eggshell ground)
Confronting it we confine our mounds.
A revelation bound
To a gaping throat we choke deep down.
It abides forevermore
Calling from the cracks
(In deepest silences)
Will I ever die?
How could I miss those joys
that lie below the soil?
How could I recollect the caress of the void?
Day by day I'm sinking nails in vain
In what I think it's keeping me
From feeling good again.
Everything I find deep in my veins
Are just some visions of a silent
Home I've never had.
Everyday I just remind myself
It lies one step away
It's just one step away
My hearse
Consoling spires distant
Sleepless, nonexistent.
Spirals and tears of mourning
I last to better feel the echo in my chest.
A deafening silence
The blinding dark
The closing walls above
This casket made of time
And if I'm meant to dwell below the sun
Why do I despise the light?
Why do I distrust the surface
Sinking into endless nights?
To bathe in emptiness
To never be the same
