"Have you ever wished that you could go back in the past and tell your “old-self” not to worry, that everything is going to be fine?
This is the story of “Before I Vanish”: a deaf dialogue between two characters representing the same person in two different timelines.
One is suffering and begging for help, the other desperately tries to reach her to show her how it will all end.
In the end, "Before I Vanish” tells us that we can never know exactly where we will end up, but we always know where we came from.”
lyrics
Take my hand
Show me
How to move on
(It’s) inside my head
I can’t feel
Anything but
This anger in me
I scream but none ears me
Tell me how to be
I’m begging you
To be with me
Wasted
Tell me how to be
I see your face
Everywhere I go
I wish I could
Feel the pain for you
I wish I could
Die for you
I feel you closer to me
But I can’t reach you
Trapped inside my head
I can’t stay
I need to run away
Time to let go
We deserve
A better place
Weaker
Guide me
On the right path
Savior
I will wait
For you to cut the light
(Light) Disappears
It is time
Time to let go
Take me with you
Don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me here
I – I can’t show you
am – And I have to
Begging – Let it hurt you
For it all to stop
I feel you closer to me
But I can’t reach you
Trapped inside my head
I can’t stay
I need to disappear
Far Away
Please help me
Please don’t leave me
Far Away
Show me
Show me how it ends
Time to let go
We deserve
A better place
In a world far away
We could be reunited
I need to disappear
Show me
Show me how it ends
Take me with you
Let me be you
I
am
Begging
For it all to stop
I feel you closer to me
But I can’t reach you
Trapped inside my head
I can’t stay
I need to disappear
Far away
Please help me
Please don’t leave me
Show me
How it ends
Before I vanish
Time to let go
We deserve
A better place
In a world far away
We could be reunited
I need you to
Show me
How it ends
Before I vanish
No turning back it’s time to let go we deserve a better place

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

The hurdy-gurdy always makes a fine accompanying instrument to electric instruments, and this is no exception. Here, hurdy-gurdyist and vocalist Michaelina is the primary focal point, and the band aptly supports her to create a neo-Medieval metal folk symbiosis. I love the title track, but going with Forgive & Forget as more representational of the entire recording Nickie Harte Kelly
