about
‘Aeons’ is the first single from Nighted's upcoming debut album Absence: an introspective journey rising from the soul's abysses to the universe's endless expanses, where fierce and aggressive sounds meet anthemic, epic soundscapes. Guitar riffs rooted in modern black metal meet analogue synthesisers and Hammond organ evoking the sound of the 70s and 80s, creating a unique and compelling take on extreme music.
Ivo Henzi comments:
‘With ‘Aeons’, Nighted is born. In the overall context of the album, this is both the fastest and the longest song. We took up a 10 year-old riff idea of mine and reinterpreted it completely, to form a track that describes a destructive journey of interdimensional beings, heavily influenced by old science fiction stories. Marc and I realised immediately that this was the right song to introduce Nighted to the world.’
‘Aeons’ is but the first of a series of songs that will be unveiled throughout 2022.
lyrics
Beyond the stars
An old grey planet
Exhaling the blood
Of an ancient civilization
Born from the tower of wisdom
Raised by ancient gods
A blooming culture it once was
Surviving from the ether within
The fall of the shrines
The deadly swarms' rite
Since aeons rising
Bleeding and feeding
Since the beginning of time
Rinse and repeat
Relentless primal instinct
Traveling through time
The blight remains
Skulls crumble into dust
Burying the remnants of another life
What have we done to deserve this fate?
Following the abandoned souls
Howling, screaming, infesting
They wait to arrive
Since aeons rising
Bleeding and feeding
Since the beginning of time
Rinse and repeat
Relentless primal instinct
Traveling through time
