1.
Drifting aimlessly with zero in sight Wrapped up thoughts exploding in the sun Bloodstained eyes looking for love A fucked up mind, exterminator of joy Fires of shame burn the heart Hurt is near, not as tender anymore Dust-cloudy days and trembling hands Looking for poison in bottles of yesterday The mirror reveals transparency Reflecting the ghost of a faded mind I am the fumes in the night And the hearts that we break and follow And the lies that we told and trusted Gave us the thrill of being devils
2.
In the early morning I wake Those linens that last night embraced you, now empty In this grey early morning I wonder Where did you go? Were you ever here? The nightstand glass is empty A witness of a night in blur Once so real, now a fragile memory Now I lay here alone, like I’ve always done Alone in the presence of you, while you roam my every thought While you roam my every thought Are you there? Are you there? Are you still awake? Are you still awake? I can’t see you I can’t feel you
3.
(Dreams) Dreams made by sunset rays Beaming lights break through Colour my heart of hearts (Dreams) Dreams of soft woven lights Desires to stray away Into flashes of purple love (Dreams) Dreams made by whirling fires Flickering the sky like a thousand stars Twilight tides carry us beyond Dismal days now gone

about

Fresh on the heels of their second album, “Strayed in Shadows”, Sweden’s premiere gothic rock band De Arma return with a three-song EP called “Nightcall”. Whereas the full-length still showed some traces of De Arma’s metal past, the EP introduces elements of darkwave into their ever-expanding sonic palette. Nonetheless, it retains many of the characteristics which earned the previous effort such critical acclaim: the outpouring of raw emotion materialising through sweeping dreamscapes, gripping choruses, and the mesmerising interplay between vocalists Andreas Pettersson and Maria Oja.

Serving as a bridge between the second and third albums, “Nightcall” builds further on the Depeche Mode infatuation hinted at on “Strayed in Shadows” and blends it with sounds which should appeal to fans of Drab Majesty, House of Harm, and later Paradise Lost; the spirit of the 80s animating a corpus borne of the present. The EP also expands upon the visual and thematic approach of its predecessor – that of being stuck in a dark and dystopian futuristic metropolis, where peril lurks around every corner – with cover artwork depicting the same figure in a setting catering to the lyrics.
