In the Woods... - Empty Streets

Taken from the album "Cease The Day"

Debemur Morti Productions, 2018

Hot off the heels of their mind blowing 2016 opus “Pure”, Norway’s IN THE WOODS… return with their latest genre-destroying masterpiece, “Cease the Day”.

Continuing to refine and perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, “Cease the Day” is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of doom, death, and progressive metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.

Chilling ambience, psychedelia, avant-garde, and deep soaring vocals ebb and flow to craft a unique sound that truly must be heard to be believed, all before crushing the listener with the band’s most extreme moments since their debut “Heart of the Ages”.

With “Cease the Day”, IN THE WOODS… continue to prove themselves as masters of whatever craft they choose to pursue.

New ventures await…

Saw them live past november and they blew me away!

Truly EPIC!

[TheDretch]

Good shit. Been a fan of these guys from the beginning.

[felixvogler]

I could listen to the Intro for hours and hours and hours

[spyros]

The BM parts are great. The guitars sound like the 1st album.

[sinofficial]

Promising. Can't wait to hear the full album.

[BansheeEnt]

I love it! Added to the Ever Metal YouTube Playlist! \m/

[uhtredragnarsson]

O this things not bad, like doom metal, waiting whole album soon

[rashidabdelghafur]

I think there are enough Black Metal vocals to still consider this partly Black Metal.

[wajdws]

Don't pull me down through your sorrow
I cannot drown these pitied depths
We did not choose to live this way
But we must make our own freedom
Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind
Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds blow through those empty streets
Shadows growing, illuminate your mind
Death closing, take a different road
Winds blow through those empty streets
Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind
Winds blow through those empty streets
Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds…

I like the progressive sounds combined with dark and black themes in this album. Much better than pure. Still reminds me of their earlier albums.

[invadernik]

lyrics? theres none anywhere of this album...

[thomasmeyer]

Would be a perfect support for "Ghost Brigade".

[Ubik_Fresh]

Used to be such a unique band, I miss the old vocalist. They seem to have lost that exploratory edge, this could be almost any other melodic doom band.

[MovidaMagazine]

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends (cit.)

[bigpiper]

Not bad, possibly better than pure, but miss the psychedelic guitar sounds of Oddvar A:M/Christer Cedeberg... Glad they're around, but for a band of that status this is fairly predictable. Which doesn't mean bad - just not quite as original as I'd like it to be.

[BoyanGeorgiev]

As a big fan of the band, I tried to like "PURE" but it just doesn't work for me. The old magic is gone.

THIS SONG MAKE THE VEINS AND....ONLY THE GORE-BLOOD IS SO
