“i’ve always thought that you were too good for me,
even back on those summer days we spent getting to know each other.
i couldn’t believe how lucky i was. i can’t believe how lucky i am,
and now i know what this meant to you. you see something in me i’m incapable of seeing,
and you cross my mind about a thousand times everyday.”
Elesh Norn – I’m truly speechless.
Well…Elesh Norn is a new 4-piece screamo band from denton, tx with members of father figure.
Take a seat. I mean…that sound. Fuck. This. is. amazing. It crushes through your ears with a blend of old-school screamo, dreamy 90′s-emo-like interlude guitar-parts and vocals which remind me of Jayson Green (Orchid), Rich Lombardi (Cloacal Kiss, The Sawtooth Grin) and some depressive black metal bands. Sounds kinda fresh and like something where I feel pretty comfortable. A warm but very aggressive and massive sound.
Everything just overwhelms you with such a fury and gloomy heaviness. I can’t get my finger off the repeat button. Too intense (the lyrics are so beautiful and heartbreaking). Too captivating. Too good.
“i only meant something to you when you wanted something from me.”
Screamo EP of the year? New hope for a stagnating genre? Yes and Yes. This band is pure gold.
“none of this will matter when we’re dead in the end,
but i swear that i’ll love you until then.”
Highly recommended.
