AVERON An Echo From Beyond - At The Bridge Of Life EPIC DOOM METAL - SWEDEN "An Echo From Beyond" album - 1999 Ola Persson - Vocals, Bass Stefan Halvarsson - Drums Mikael Wilkstrom - Guitar Per Ryberg - Guitar Anders Westling - Keyboards Lyrics: AN ECHO FROM BEYOND: In many years I've had my share But now it seems nobody cares When all I wanted was some peace Now everything is out of reach Don't let my dreams get hold of me I can hear an echo from beyond Don't let family forget me, and who I was Feels hard to know all trust is gone When I think back of all we've done Why can't I tell you how I feel This state I'm in can't be hard to see Don't let my dreams get hold of me I can hear an echo from beyond Don't let family forget me, and who I was Who I've become Don't let my dreams get hold of me I can hear an echo from beyond AT THE BRIDGE OF LIFE: See the man I was before inside the pieces of my mirror I feel the need for something more than just being alive Under the sun I stand alone At the bridge of life I wonder how far I can go I can't sleep, I can't fell, I don't know I'm just a shadow of the past, with all the good times behind me Being a pale and wornout man, it's a struggle to the end Under the sun I stand alone At the bridge of life I wonder how far I can go I can't sleep, I can't fell, I don't know Across the bridge I'll find the truth, and I have waited a long, long time There is no reason in living anymore, I hear the pounding of the bells Under the sun I stand alone At the bridge of life I wonder how far I can go I can't sleep, I can't fell, I don't know AVERON is a Swedish band that hovers between their own kind of Epic Traditional Doom-metal with atmospheric elements (read: keyboards) and more straight forward Doom-metal. The first official release 'Serenity' is focused more on catchy melodies and straight forward music. However, on their second release 'An Echo From Beyond' the band seems more influenced by the Epic Doom sound produced by bands such as Solstice and Solitude Aeturnus. But the band clearly has their own sound. Overall, the vocals have a more rough feeling to them than you might expect (no operatic wailing vocals). Expect atmosphere on some songs, straightforward heavy riffing on other songs and overall very powerful music. Slow headbanging stuff!
