Hound 04:16
You're staring at me From across the water Your hair is fire Loyal, always Yet you doubt my return Every soul that you have welcomed here below Will merge in the glowing caldera of hurt It's never-ending I’ll keep them here for you How beautiful, the view A speck in the red And mountains rise again Rending the spine of the world From end to end Ropes burn and daylight blinds As I am torn from your side Bereft again, as if the ocean and the skies weren't enough I’ll drink from the rivers that divide us now I'll open a chasm and return somehow It's never-ending Our work beneath the ground The master and the hound Old stone is ground to sand By hand, wind or rain They shall know pain As the earth opens again

Rotting Eden 05:34
[Verse 1] The lengths I've gone to slow the heart To blank the mind, erase the thoughts And embrace the void a second time Reminiscing on dead days A rotting eden, green and grey [Chorus] Our love is a closing wound What we bury here will bloom to rot Whose arms will hold you When mine became your tomb? Will you water our garden Of withering thought? [Verse 2] Pull this idolatry up by the roots Decay the blossom of our youth The gentle stillness I’m pining to feel Is wasted on a heart that never heals [Chorus] Our love is a closing wound What we bury here will bloom to rot Whose arms will hold you When mine became your tomb? Will you water our garden Of withering thought? [Stick] Welcome slowing of the heart Quiet void of years apart A tomb within my arms Images bloom to rot [Verse 3] Sever the vines of wishful thought Eliminate the cause Reminiscing on dead days A rotting eden, grim and grave [Chorus] Our love is a closing wound What we bury here will bloom to rot Whose arms will hold you When mine became your tomb? Will you water our garden Of withering thought?

Binary 04:51
Our bodies twist with desire In an endless dance Of want without boundaries And a lack unparalleled You keep me here like gravity Awake throughout the night The riddles on your skin Unravel in this light In the dark I rummage to find Words that hold more poetry than mine To end this celestial waltz The riddles on your skin Tangle in the dark You push, I pull A dance so meaningless And beautiful In the dark I rummage to find Words that hold more poetry than mine

Final Light 07:33
I wade in the water On the shores of tedium Where days come crashing Devoid of significance In the sands, my heart is lost Trapped in the neck of the hourglass As if to sift the soil and trap the gold But nothing sticks and nothing flows While the horizon bleeds its final light And paints the stars across my eyes I hear the hymn sung behind a veil Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim I hear you singing with the swans Waves reach far to wash away Another static, fallow day I've lost count, the grains won't fall I feel my blood slow to a halt While the horizon bleeds its final light And paints the stars across my eyes I hear the hymn sung behind a veil Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim Part the waters of old devotion Bleak and faded now Like moonlight scattered Across a restless ocean Take my hand and lead me down Trade my sober grey for brilliant blue Because my heart is lost Snared in the grip of a dying love Writhing in its final throes Time stands still and nothing flows I wade in the water In the tide of wasted years An endless stream of fallow days Wishing you were here

Embers 04:40
We are ashes on the ground No phoenix will rise this time around We are depleted, we are unable To reinvent ourselves, to pretend Like we weren't buried with our youth And find solace in that truth An ember of days long lost Slowly dimming in the frost We are dust and distant lights Playing tricks on our own minds The sun is held within a breath And night becomes you But as the stars recede And our wounds resume to bleed We’re at a loss for words And all the lines are blurred An ember of days long lost Slowly dimming in the frost We fan the fires of A long-forgotten love Embers dance and die Above the funeral pyre We were buried with our youth Find solace in that truth The embers of days long lost Dead and dying in the frost

Pale Season 04:33
The cold stare of vacant eyes Windows into an abandoned mind I've been waiting for a light to turn on For your heart to find its way home You were the anchor For my drifting thoughts This was not the end I sought Apathy is not the answer You surrendered I've been waiting for a fire to light A torch to guide me through the night You were the anchor For my drifting thoughts This was not the end I sought Apathy is not the answer You surrendered Beyond contemplation Your capacity to feel, diminishing In chemical exile from the pain of being

Circles in the sand Our time here is fragile Signals in the sky The message has been clear for a while Hanging from the tree of life The suffering is human Heed the call to all For what's to come, we must allow forgiveness A silence on the water A mirror to heaven Searching for the answers Finding nothing more than more questions Rising from the fire The monster you have called upon Heed the siren's song For what's to come, we must endure together The cracks beneath the surface The secrets they've been hiding Shatter the illusion Only those who love will survive Rising from the waters The Age we've all been waiting for A light on the horizon For what's to come, we've never seen before.

about

THENIGHTTIMEPROJECT were formed 2010 in Avesta, Sweden by guitarist Fredrik Norrmann (ex-KATATONIA, OCTOBER TIDE) as an outlet for bold, melancholic songwriting imbued with feeling.

Second album ‘Pale Season’ melds a haunted mix of alt, progressive and post-Rock, neo-gothic Metal, doom and subtle psychedelia into an assured set of hook-strewn songs that find peace in the depths of inner turmoil.

Throughout, vocalist/guitarist/producer Alexander Backlund tempers emotive choruses of melodic light with a disaffected lyrical worldview, supported perfectly by ghostly electronic textures, lush keyboard adornments and the full-band telepathy of musicians at the top of their game.

‘Pale Season’ culminates in a guest vocal performance of powerful beauty from Heike Langhans (DRACONIAN, ISON) on the penultimate epic ‘Signals in the Sky’, where the rich thematic content of this striking album coalesces into a doom-inflected totem of perseverance and wounded defiance.
