Lyrics:
Regale us once more
With the tales you used to chronicle,
When we were but callow
And all was new,
Of age old myths
Both formidable and sublime,
Of gallant feats
That gripped our fledgling minds,
Of a spirited people
And their bucolic wisdoms,
From the land in which you grew,
From the land in which you pine.
An atavist you’ve always been.
A pastoral dream
Swells in your soul,
Evoking the spirit
Of soil left behind.
A yearning profound
Captivates the senses,
Flooding your heart
With lucid recollections
Of burning days
Tending to vine and herd,
Of blackest nights
Gazing at the heavens.
Cry out for the hills
And their ancestral paths.
Weep in remembrance
Of those so revered.
The mortal hours are waning.
Return to her.
Drink from her soundless waters
If you truly wish to sing.
Ascend her sun-gilded peaks
If you truly wish to climb.
And when her winds come to reap your earthly vessel,
Only then will you truly know you have lived.
Return to her.
An atavist you’ve always been.
Richmond's INTER ARMA, reigning masters of the slow build, continue to trace a distinctly ambitious trajectory through modern metal. Their impulses tend toward the epic, but never bloat; they meld several styles - doom, sludge, and hard psych - without coming off like dilettantes. This newest full-length, Sulphur English, finds them mining deeper in the proggy organic doom fields that made both Paradise Gallows and Sky Burial so thrilling while expanding further the on the psych-folk strain that made those albums' peaks seem so lofty.
Few metal bands have ever made such effective use of acoustic instruments in truly heavy environments as INTER ARMA do; the acoustic guitar that stitches "Stillness" together is as effective as any overdriven bass; a two-minute gloomy piano-and-feedback piece titled "Observances of the Path" rolls out the carpet for "The Atavist's Meridian," an album highlight that rides a gigantic, roomy drum sound into realms akin to a murkier Paradise Lost, a more aggressive Om, and a dreamier, more stoned Kylesa all playing together at once. Few bands make music as engrossing as INTER ARMA; their lengthy, almost meditative songs rumble patiently forward until you're ready to get thrown off a bridge - and then they throw you, with great force.
- Words by John Darnielle
John Darnielle's got good taste, but we knew that already.
Great band.
Their drummer is something special.
Exactly, i have seen them once openning for converge. The drummer is a beast, even i met him in person and told him, a beast😍
Rips on guitar too...
True statement
Style reminds me of Alex Van Halen, for some odd reason. Sure enough, on one of their concert vids, they did a little piece from 'Hot for Teacher.' But this band is phenomenal. Oppressively heavy, dark, brooding and ominous with more layers than an onion.
Sky Burial, Paradise Gallows, The Cavern, and now this. Inter Arma never repeat themselves and always innovate and deliver amazing music.
I still can't stop listening to this album. They take me on a spiritual journey and this song a lone just pulls me in different directions...unbelievable stuff!
well said my friend!
If the apocalypse had a theme song, these guys would be the ones playing it
u read my thoughts man! this song is very special! pure genius!
And I'd dive headfirst into it, knowing I've seen and heard it all! Damn good song!
this band is amazing im excited for the new album
I like this, sounds reminiscent to the dreary Blackened/ Dissonant/ Shoegaze stuff like Dodecahedron, big fan!
I see inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey In This vid. Lovin’ it
Best band ever. Not a single disappointing album yet. Masters 🤘
What always amazes me about Inter Arma is that most of their songs are actually slow to mid-tempo if you listen to the guitars, but incredibly fast if you listen to the drums. TJ plays in double/triple-time a lot, so it sounds like a faster song than it actually is. But if you tune out the snares/kicks and listen to just the cymbal rhythm in the first few minutes, that's the _actual_ pace of the song. It's brilliant.
saw them live without really listened to much of their music and I was left in awe, the whole band has a special connection going on, it was something beautiful to experience.
The beauty of the video and song is astounding! What a masterpiece!
Inter Arma always great. Have you seen the new Rammstein video "Deutschland"?
The musicianship is amazing, but I don't think the vocals get their just do... he never rest on his laurels.
Fuck. That was god damn brutal. I loved it. This could be better than Paradise Gallows.
Awesome work
Very good - this is a great song
I already ordered the new album

do they use a didgeridoo
They do, they do
and lots of neurosis too...............
Rappers/singers, you looking for fresh beats? I got that fire. 🔥🔥🔥
i want to like this. give me a minute. i hold a previous particular disdain for this band's approach. everything else i've heard has pointed towards homogenous emission we-do-everything bullshit.
