1.	Let Them Burn 04:42	lyrics	buy track
In the greater scheme of things There's a place for them and me So don't you worry if they bring you down And teach you how to live Each day they're getting closer So just wait and see How hell always finds its way And makes'em start to give Let them burn They smile as they see you walk on to the edge Your downfall is their only pledge Let them burn In the greater scheme of things There's a place for them and me So don't you worry if they bring you down And tell you how to live But you, for one, know well the omens of death And sure enough you'll fight until your very last breath Don't you feel, don't you see They will drag you down? In time they will find Love is all that counts No way to release The burdens of your soul Hang on to your dreams And let the bad times roll
2.	The Great Unknown 05:48	lyrics	buy track
There is a kingdom beyond the shades Right at the Rainbow's end A stairway for the blind and the insane Where only heroes descend One rambler on steps of stone Whispering prayers of old To conjure the Great Unknown While the sunset dissolves Protected by the shield of faith The figure walks on by Past watchers made of skulls and bones On to the dead of night In the darkness Kindling fires Carry voices... down. Away from corridors of frozen ages A source of wisdom is found Spells written on invisible pages Shake the sky and the ground Upon the waves of a cosmic breeze The bold rambler rides Godsend from hallowed trees An axe of flame divine A revelation of days to come Appears before his eyes... The execution of a thousand suns Like universal cries
3.	Guardians Of Silence 07:32	lyrics	buy track
Eyeless look in the mirror of my soul Trembling at the border of this world Reminiscing days of a long-gone life Darkness takes all that is left inside Keeper of the gates, I call to you Save my spirit from this howling gloom Something in the way the night stands still Whispering in my ear that nothing's real I feel the essence blowing in Cleanse myself of all the sin Tears are shed by the grave of time Tasting the love that once was mine Mist of ages is creeping down As I lay my bones on the cold, wet ground Pure white light shall guide my way Join your hands and start to pray In the hour of deep regret I pray on my deathbed Cling onto my sacred fears The ending time is drawing near My life's a tale that's just been told The scrolls of destiny unfold Behold the flame of life A weakening glow that's dying out Blown away without a sound Silent guardians greet my soul And drag my spectre down below...
4.	Stand In The Dimming Light 06:27	lyrics	buy track
Cast out in sorrow they will remain Voices of heroes and acts of the brave Monuments rising in November snow I can still hear them cryin' alone I stand in the dimming lights Up 'til the end of nights To call to you from hopeless gloom The blaze of a glorious past Now returns to stay at last, Eternally if you believe No-one remembers the gleam of their flames As forgetful autumns have cut down those days Feeble, an echo is heard from afar Invites me to listen I pray to the stars I stand in the dimming lights Up 'til the end of nights To call to you from hopeless gloom The blaze of a glorious past Now returns to stay at last, Eternally, Eternally Epitaph written in ice To the forsaken victims of time All souls are crossing the river of tears Reach for the place where all the answers are clear Riddles are left to those who live in this world Where nothing is sacred and you're bought and sold
5.	By The Sword Of The Archangel 04:46	lyrics	buy track
From darkness, spreading lights Uproar of an endless fight Holy words appear on the clouds Earth shakes with a tremendous sound Black legions flee, The devil in retreat, Subversion of all rules A sentence for the fools The battle is now at hand Vibrations rip the land Taken by surprise Malice in disguise By the sword of the Archangel Bolts and lightnings come down raining Storm cracks the sky, sinners left to die By the ruling sword of an unforgiving Lord Human kind is ready to feel Breaking all eternal shackles of steel Over the mountains morning stars arise Sun makes the moon its bride
6.	Illusion Sun 05:08	lyrics	buy track
I've opened my eyes wide On a feeble gray sky Hoped you'd come closer But you've left me behind Deliver us from anguish And lend us your sword So we can cut through This dolorous world Controlling your faithful herd You shine like the sun 'Cause you know what men can do When they've nowhere to run to Illusion sun The church is empty And the light is getting dim Your breed is dying And their faith is growing thing Illusion sun Calling on to prayer
7.	Drawn Into Yesterday 02:51	lyrics	buy track
Like a child in a Fall day Reflected on a windowpane I'm stranded between crossways Drawn into yesterdays I dreamed I saw a painting wide Filled with tender glee But all that's left is a big black hole In place of memories Every day I try so hard To search right through my mind The few scenes left just end as they start And feel so far behind Don't forsake the ones you love so well And guard them within yourself For I have seen how some things fall When time winds claim their toll And thus I watch them go And thus I watch it go Away.
8.	Dark Waters 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Your life is empty, your body shakes Few words are spoken, too little, too late You got no direction as you drift from town to town Treading into dark waters and not knowing how Brother in gloom, take a walk with me Gaze into my eyes and cry with me Your thoughts are blurred and you don't have a clue When the axe comes ripping down, who will you look up to? Ruling your mind with fears unkind Watch yourself go Who can control these feelings inside? Who shall decide? Dark waters come pouring down Dark water are all around This great illusion will fade someday Your cry for help sucked into endless grey The day has come, no fooling around The shadow of the cross is upon you now Brother in gloom, take a walk with me Gaze into my eyes and cry with me Your thoughts get blurry, you don't have a clue When the axe comes ripping down, who will you look up to? Ruling your mind with fears unkind Watch yourself go Who can control these feelings inside? Who shall decide?

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BOTTOMLESS’ highly anticipated second album, The Banishing, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from Italy, BOTTOMLESS was formed in 2016 by the hands of vocalist/guitarist Giorgio Trombino and drummer David Lucido; bassist Sara Bianchin joined shortly after. Collectively, the band possesses a wealth of experience across other prior and present bands, including Messa, Assumption, Becerus, Shrieking Demons, Morbo, and many more. Five years later, in 2021 and preceded by a trio of three of digital singles, BOTTOMLESS released their self-titled debut album: a clear affirmation of the power-trio's commitment to traditional doom metal yet with a slightly ‘70s edge, bluesy and hard rocking.

Now, two years later, BOTTOMLESS return with their second full-length. Appropriately titled The Banishing, the band take bold steps into new territories here, retaining their rootsy doom sound but moving it toward the epic and sometimes evil and most definitely dark. The relatively-dramatic shift reflects a focus on themes of magic, death, remembrance, and sorrow, most poignantly displayed across such tracks as “Guardians of Silence,” “By the Sword of the Archangel,” and the acoustic ballad “Drawn Into Yesterdays.” Even more so than the first album, The Banishing is a doom metal record for doom maniacs, reflecting emotional atmospheres reminiscent of classic Candlemass, Solitude Aeternus, the UK’s Solstice, and Manilla Road’s slower moments whilst firmly residing on a foundation of ‘80s doom ala Pentagram, Trouble, and especially Black Sabbath; one could say that BOTTOMLESS are even approaching the latter’s cult years with Tony Martin on the mic. And like the best vintage doom, whether it’s entrenched in the ‘70s or ‘80s, The Banishing is richly wrapped in an authentically analog production, all recorded, mixed, and mastered on tape in a few sessions.

BOTTOMLESS are truly hitting their stride now. The Banishing is for all those heavy rockin' castaways who are living backwards, banished from the modern world and still looking to carve their own individual path into the realm of slow, somber heavy metal.

This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like. playfulpooka
