Bleed the Sky

from APORIA by Internal Conflict

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Rising British heavy metal outfit Internal Conflict released new album ‘APORIA’ via PHD in July 2021 ahead of slot on Bloodstock Festival’s prestigious Sophie Lancaster stage.

    ‘APORIA’ was mixed and mastered by Neil Hudson (Krysthla) at Initiate Audio & Media Studios in Northampton, the pairing of the band and acclaimed producer has resulted in Internal Conflict releasing their finest work to date.

    The news of ‘APORIA’ follows the Leicester five piece metaller’s 2018 ‘Nothing Is Lost’ ep and continues their progressive creativity and innovative take on heavy metal. Part brutal, part melodic, sonically the new songs deliver a deep exploration of modern metal whilst the lyrical themes reflect on society and what it is to be human in deeply challenging times.

    “The name ‘APORIA’ initially spoke of the difficult times we have gone through personally in the last few years, in and outside of the band”, explains frontman Adam Kyle. “From family breakdowns, to mental health struggles, parenthood, life / work balance, and what it means to be a band in an age of digital revolution; all is laid bare. However, with the pandemic and growing cultural divisions, we put our feelings and thoughts into our music as a way to discuss where we, the human race, are right now. Ultimately, we are asking how to achieve happiness in a world that at times feels hopeless and filled with addiction, media influence, wealth or lack thereof, hate, and narcissism.”

    Whilst dark in their lyrical approach, the tracks featured on the new album blend into an overall arc that offers a shining light to listeners. “It’s ok to not be ok, but we want to get better, and we want to help others if we can. This is where our lyrics live, amongst the hustle and bustle of life. We are not a political band, we but are political people. We hurt, we love, and we feel everything around us and channel it into our music”, concludes Kyle.

    The album’s stunning artwork was designed by Dominic Sohor (Raging Speedhorn).

    Includes unlimited streaming of APORIA via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Bleed the Sky

we cannot walk this path, erase the growing shadows
time to start anew

disease in dispair for us, not much hope for the conscious
pernicious landscape, the fear of losing ground
going without, waves crashing down, cant bare the sound of silence

so here we are, stand in the darkness upon the cliff edge
falling, for newspeak, numb to suffering

bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew

surrounded by all exits, trapped inside with no escape
is this a pennance for that which haunts us
like a half remembered dream, or a long forgotten past
the pride before the fall, what shall be no more

fear of losing ground, going without, crashing down

bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew

so now the veil is lifted
you turned your back on your fellow man
and the fools that followed
the warning signs were right there
but did you try to read them?
this willful ignorance, at best a weakness

these petty beings that we are
gone in a blink of an eye
look down upon thee and
cry in dispair
choose now or soon be chosen
extinction eventual
no empire lives forever
no empire lives forever

but we won't fall, we'll start a-new

bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew
