A Cold Embrace from Life

by Rise to the Sky

Adrian Rise to the Sky and then be smashed back down to the ground where your brittle bones will be nothing but dust. Melodic death doom just the way I like it: slow, sorrowful, grim, uplifting and powerful.

bmurator I like Rise to the Sky so much that I had to have CDs as well for when I drive my old car. I think that says it all. If you like death / doom you need this! What a voice! Sergio is so expressive in all his music. He seems to delight in taking you to the deepest depths of despair but with an overall soothing effect. I am probably not making too much sense right now so i will stop here... :)

frithrah Immense. Emotional with sweet sorrow in the melodies. Something precious. Favorite track: I´ll Meet You When I´m Gone.

about

Occasionally, there are moments when life crushes you, and leaves you longing to change things, dreams of improving the past. But the past is gone, so you let in that harsh coldness, that cold embrace from life.

All these songs were written and recorded during very strange times.

Reviews:

GBHBL: 10/10 Score "An epic and sub-zero doom EP, A Cold Embrace from Life is a crushing listen but not just because of the heavy doom aspect. No, because it is littered with profound and poignant melodies that add so much emotional value to each of the four tracks."

Metal Temple: 9/10 score "This EP is an incredible example of the emotional impact that doom metal can provide yet still be beautiful, even if it is tragic in nature. If you’re a fan of depressive yet melodic doom, there isn’t a reason why this shouldn’t be on your radar." Justin "Witty City" Wittenmeier - Metal Temple

The Razor`s Edge: "A Cold Embrace Of Life being made up of four songs of unrelenting bleakness and misery. The vocals are all anguished guttural growls and the songs are all laden with gloomy and desolate melodies."

Angry Metal Guy: "The acoustic touches in “Help Me Understand” help to give A Cold Embrace from Life an identity of its own, and solidify it as a doom EP well worth experiencing". – Twelve

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 72 fans who also own “A Cold Embrace from Life”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 70 fans who also own “A Cold Embrace from Life”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 69 fans who also own “A Cold Embrace from Life”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
