David Loveless It's been 10 years since the release of Eras Lost and we finally have the follow up album, and boy was it worth the wait! The melancholic parts are as ethereal as they come and the sludgy, post-metal parts are some of the most extreme moments in metal this year! Front to back, this album is a banger and I've listened to it non-stop since it's release. Not to mention, the fantastic lyrics that conceptualize the Laika Soviet Space Dog tragedy. Simply incredible! \m/ Favorite track: Hypervigilant.

Nick Vukelich From the minute this album starts I feel like it's a build up to the last 3 minutes and it's the best build up and payoff I can think of. Masterfully done and expertly mixed. Favorite track: Tears of Burning Light.

sky · ghost Yo I've been waiting ten long years for one of my favorite local bands to make a second album and after adding covid onto all the other turbulence, I wasn't sure if it would ever be. Well it is here and it is absolutely colossal. It's riffier and more layered (what up new 5th member Jim Schloemer, great synth work). The theme is stronger. No shade on the debut's vocals but Sam Halvorson does a supreme job here. This album whips, can’t wait to have the vinyl on my shelf next to the first one. Favorite track: The New Man.

Darknight A stunning progressive post metal record that is both heavy and beautiful in equal measures. Favorite track: From Below.

colantalas The follow-up to one of my favorite post-metal records has finally arrived, and it's a worthy sequel. If Eras Lost was Mario World, this is Super Mario 64. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive. Favorite track: Our Work in the Stars Cannot Wait.

The New Man 07:08
Beholden matriarch absent dominion Chained to industry by precedent Modern premier’s leash is given slack Excess reveries from foreign bodies Aspects detached preserved amenity A beam rests inside the eye of the beholder Beholden matriarch absent dominion Chained to industry by precedent Modern premier’s leash is given slack Grasp the eclipse Fallout beyond attenuation Cycles chart the predetermined course Summoned forward without heel A blade honed for severing sentience A second edge kept in shadow Horizon dawns an endless storm Until we rest beneath the winter way

From Below 10:14
Straying Survival on their own Existing Resilience has shown Exploiting No value to disown Devoided Liberation overthrown Exploited Devoided Acquired Expired Aiming for a purchase in the gutter to erase The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain Feral instincts will aim to take their hold Picking from the gutter to find life to fit their mold Refuse to the cosmos Refuge from the void Paper over the cracks of a bankrupt generation Oncoming rift to bury bones Oncoming rift to break the mold Paper over the cracks of a bankrupt generation Bury the mold This world pulls A vicious authority To maintain by separation Through separation, hell takes hold Aiming for a purchase in the gutter to erase The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain Aiming for the gutter to find life they can erase The choir is reluctant in their dissonant refrain

Drowned by memories of privilege Jettisoned, forgotten A life abridged A vessel with no home Is sent to the unknown Signals relay the time to send away A vessel with no home Is sent to the unknown A vessel with no home Propelled to the unknown alone Straining through the bottleneck Current pushing contained by cosmic forces Dauntless with a strong resolve To trap a mortal still breathing in the aether Straining through the bottleneck Current pushing away Binding thoughts and blending truth A prelude of emptiness to come The ancient awakening The primal omens he’s come to fear The premier always comes to collect Ghastly sirens, empty calls Succumbed in the vacuums jaws Only fear escapes these walls Falling ceilings, empty skies Succumbed in the vacuums jaws Only fear escapes these walls Ghastly sirens, empty calls Crushed in the vacuum’s jaws No escape from endless nothing Nothing Nothing more Crushed in the vacuum’s jaws for nothing
4.
Maimed past, distorted future A masquerade of senses Reluctant in awakening His form observed betrayed by reverence Perceived failures have become irrelevant Guided thoughts are straining her A lost aspiration to lead A ritual of universal drain Of her vigor Of his aegis A continued orbit A ritual of universal drain Maimed past, distorted future To hunt down To discover and institute To command her and employ To command her and to suppress His voice is broadcast Her image concealed A feint for the subjects Ignoring the real A timeless ritual to prepare An empty promise to protect A hopeless body to employ An empty cycle to reconnect

A leash to the maw A lash on broken frame Progress creates this blessing Battered, stunned, linked into circuits The burden of consequence Advance to revolution Decaying truths and indiscretion A leash to the maw A lash on broken frame Progress creates this blessing Flattened, spun, pressed into service The burden of consequence Advance to revolution Decaying truths and indiscretion A litany of echoes breeding apathy away Inert to the risk Obscured within harm Spiraling past every cognition Brought to the heel by coercion’s esteem Incapacitating force has taken its hold It carries the weight of the ages within Stress approaching its fracture with moments of calm A retold folly, with mimicked cadence Relentless and callous Flattened, spun, pressed into service Repetitions strain Every turn, a slow degrade Perfect fit for ages Trudging into mirrored faces Lost senses stir within Masking signals of alarm Hymns will fade into the void They’re obscured within the harm

Accords without arbitration All processes forced A rush of red capillaries Hubris comes to prevail again Sent into flight Forced explorers born in orbit Gravity pulls towards the end Soon to be observed False narratives spoken again Both insignificant and essential Forced explorers of the Earth A ballast of perception looming Exhaust persists without reservations Hope lingering without a single spark Sent to the expanse, a failed existence False narratives, given solutions Static circuit vows to promise Masses deluded, hardened resolve A pressure disputed, bury the captain Pulled into the void

Void Hymn 10:05
Wires hum their message Transistors bridging waves of time Consciousness transformed by beacons, persistent harmonies Past recognitions are amplified throughout the waiting Pulses degrade with reprieve throughout Familiar images remain frozen again As regular comforts begin to disintegrate Amidst a cycle that’s never ending Amidst a cycle that’s bleak and overwhelming Still echoes and orbit Time becomes consumed The image has decayed A boundary crossed Still echoes and orbit Life becomes consumed The image has deceased A void for him Sounds of machines deafen Past consciousness lost Enveloped by restraints Her body distorts Surrounded by darkness Lights glowing in response to imagined words Perceived past the harbor A dead message Aspects will shape through shifting of frames Thoughts diverge and disappear With recognition come The resignation hums A boundary crossed, a void created The memories will distort The ending will be forced Her cognitions have disengaged A slumber of selfishness looming Raining down upon her body endlessly Domination Subjugation Action without repercussion Domination Subjugation Raining down upon her endlessly The congregation of termination A forging fire burning attentively Domination Subjugation Her body sent to blackened seas
9.
Quickening of pace The planetary pressure builds, hammering endlessly Recognition is elusive, the real grounds have deceased Marvel at his might, submit to panic if it suits her Cascading to the void Grim dusk is imminent, riveting Lost into starry night, an offering Gasping the forging fire, caged to darkness Hubris delays the predetermined time Time dilates within mortal concern that overtakes Gaia’s exhaled sigh Pace and sense are quickening Heaven’s pressure builds Perpetual are the echoes Recognition escapes rationality The grounds are deceased, footsteps hovering Transmissions from below Sovereign faith is questioned Dark matter dominates cosmic time All domains are reset The silent astral echo A cycle rippling through time The lessons left forgotten Will cast this daydream into dust The circuitry consumed A silent astral echo A cycle rippling through time The circuitry consumed

about

Until We Rest Beneath the Winter Way frames vignettes into the life and times of Laika, the first animal sent into Earth’s orbit. Each track on UWRBTWW represents a slice in history, as she endured it. The album culminates with her launch aboard Sputnik II, the second major event in humanity’s reach to the heavens, symbolized by a lifeless canine body orbiting the Earth for months on end.

Humanity has too often failed to learn from its mistakes. Time and again, this failure of our species has brought devastation to the most vulnerable inhabitants of our planet, human and animal alike. Much like Laika, it can often feel as if we are collectively set on a decaying orbit, a trajectory from which we can never escape. Until We Rest Beneath the Winter Way uses Laika’s tragic story as a vehicle by which to deliver this notion of planetary despair and helplessness.


“The lessons left forgotten, Will cast this daydream into dust.”



Until We Rest Beneath the Winter Way has been a long time in the making, spanning for each of us many major life events - some personal and some with global impact. The past decade of experiences has further cemented the themes we explore on the album in our hearts and minds. We’re incredibly thrilled to finally share this music and story with everyone and hope others can also find a connection to it.
