Wastelands

by Heretoir

/
1.
Anima 04:29
Torn apart and carrying a dying heart. There is something deep inside waiting to be heard. It's disembodied, it's dwelling in suppression. But there's a door to something... something that I've never felt before. I don't want to die for nothing, but I have to live for something more. Low desires determine lives. This is a liberation of the mind, of Anima inside. Dead. I think that many just feel dead inside... and I'm sick of it. Can anybody see clear anymore? Wasting their whole lives away. Nothing is as loud as the silence of the soul... the silence of the soul. It's disembodied, it's dwelling in suppression. But there's a door to something... something that I've never felt before. I don't want to die for nothing, but I have to live for something more. Low desires determine lives. This is a liberation of the mind, of Anima inside... of Anima inside... Anima inside.

Wastelands 05:19
Cutting the water under our feet. A suicidal urge. Forcing our way to perfection, until all decays in the grey. A heavy wing lifts no more. A tired body no longer soars. These wounds of woe. How could we know? Clear cut tracts of land. We're in an endless coma. Lower your eyes and hold your breath, can you feel the ashes falling through thin air? This is not what we've hoped for - but we knew it all. Lower your eyes and hold your breath, can you feel the ashes falling through thin air? This is not what we've hoped for - but we knew it all. We knew it all. We knew it all. We knew it all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 years after their highly acclaimed album "The Circle", on 19th May 2023 Heretoir will release the new mini-album „Wastelands“, which contains 3 new tracks that take the listener on an intense journey.

Starting with the raging „Anima“ - the track deals with the urge to free yourself from the iron shackles society puts on us humans. Our true inner potential is kept surpressed by 24-7 pressure to perform and numbing consumerism. „Anima“ can be understood as a scream to „free your mind and live your life to the fullest".

„At dusk“ transports the listener towards a bleak end with the crushing „Wastelands“ that deals with the destruction of our source of life – planet earth. Humans seem to have a „suicidal urge“ to destroy what keeps us alive.
The song is a requiem on the downfall of the human race.

The release is rounded off by 3 studio live recordings of Heretoir's most well-known and successful tracks from the previous album "The Circle".

"Wastelands" is a mini-album that might make you question the status quo.
