    No album made me cry like Finisterre. Especially as a german the lyrics hit you hard.

      I wish I understood German cause I feel like even when you translate them to English there are things that are bound to be lost in translation.

    • @watzesnow7169
      @watzesnow7169 2 года назад +4

      The german language permitted you to play with words like (in my understanding) no other language...
      That is what it makes hard to translate it 1:1

    I wrote an english translation for the lyrics on the 'official live' video, I'll post it here for you as well in case you may be interested!
    It's a bit tricky since the lyrics are written in a very 'poetic' kind of form.
    To all germans: Dies ist keine wortwörtliche-, sondern eine sinnbildliche Übersetzung, also bitte nicht an Kleinigkeiten aufhängen, danke!
    Anyway, here goes:
    A foghorn is blowing through the thick (fog)
    It wants to see me, it screams for me
    wander off with the dead...
    wander off with the dead...
    So I journey into the wall of light
    and the sound turns dense
    so I shall prepare for battle
    wander off with the dead...
    wander off with the dead...
    Restless I wander, asking myself
    is it a curse or a blessing
    The wind accompanies my duty
    it strengthens (/has) my back, whips into my face
    it laughs with me and shares my tears
    but it knows nothing of the war...
    The green swaps it's color for gray
    The trees are showing their bare bones (frame/skeleton)
    The warmth fades and it gets cold
    the world shrouded into cerecloth
    In the thin forest off the path, eyes are glowing
    wolves are howling, transfixing me
    they're staring at me, I have to follow them
    but they know nothing of the war...
    (again)
    The green swaps it's color for gray
    The trees are showing their bare bones
    The warmth fades and it gets cold
    Are you coming to get me?
    you've trapped too many souls already...
    are you coming to get me?
    you've trapped too many souls already...
    but you won't get mine!
    Far away from this world, I'll rest
    until the screams fall silent
    (and the) life blossoms
    and blossoms
    and blossoms..

    "Der Weg Einer Freiheit" means something like "The path of a freedom" or "The way of a freedom". "Aufbruch" means "Departure". Loved your reaction. Cheers from Germany. :)

    • @richardctaylor79
      @richardctaylor79 3 года назад +1

      I think, if you turn it into English grammar from there, the "a" is redundant and we would not say it. It is probably just "The path of freedom" this would sound better in English....

    • @crimsondeath666
      @crimsondeath666 3 года назад +10

      @@richardctaylor79 actually not. It's kinda like that in German as well. You would assume, it should be "Der Weg der Freiheit" (the way of freedom) here as well, but is specifically the way of A freedom.
      Maybe this is because the definition and the feeling of freedom mean something else to everyone and is something really personal. And this is the way of this specific freedom.
      Nevertheless it is some kind of philosophical question.

    Wow... Der Weg is one of my favorite bands. And Aufbruch give me chills everytime I listen to it. They're awesome. Also, I recommend you Wolves in the throne room-I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots (18 minutes long, but it's gold) and a fusion of atmospheric Black metal and scotish folk Saor-Forgotten Paths (For example, he has very good songs). Enjoy it, they're awesome

    I remember seeing this band for the first time, didn't know about them before and i instantly fell in love with their music and how tight zhey are live. When they played this song, i closed my eyes and got completely carried away by the music. I entered some kinda trance, to the point i didn't remember where i was when i opened my eyes again.
    This compared to nothing i experienced before, or ever since then

    Great review Luke
    Love em , will have to dive deeper into this band , Germany puts out a few choice bands , Flammenaar's debut album was played by me for months and months straight
    This band comes across to me as Technical Black pagan folk melodic Metal ,
    The pagan and folk really come out in the lyrics someone else posted in the comments, thanks man.
    The song captivates al the good things that resonate with human emotions and feelings,
    Great light show too, A beatblast lightning stike show
    Bring on the end of this covid shit and cheers to the return of many more Metal live shows \m/
    Cheers to Newcastle Australia ♠️
