Depressive Age - Symbols For The Blue Times
Review by Jacob Whitbeck
Depressive Age's album, Symbols For The Blue Times, is a masterpiece of dark, brooding metal. The band's sound is characterized by heavy, chugging riffs and intense, anguished vocals. The album is a concept piece, exploring themes of alienation, despair, and the search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world.
From the opening track, "Lying in Wait," the listener is plunged into a world of darkness and despair. The songs are full of eerie, atmospheric passages and haunting melodies that create a sense of unease and tension. The lyrics are introspective and poetic, exploring the depths of the human psyche and the struggle to find hope in a world that seems devoid of it.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Beyond Illusions," which features a driving, galloping rhythm and soaring, melodic guitar lines. The chorus is catchy and anthemic, with the lyrics urging the listener to break free from the illusions that hold us back and embrace the truth of our own existence.

Summary by Jacob Whitbeck
Comments
We're the loosers, We see you're disdain
We're the tools for our own coloured fate
No one really knows our place
Justice, give us your grace! Show your face!
But the war slaves of the lords drive us from land to land
To the garbage canyons, to the eternal damned
And we ride like puppets on our boneless dogs, helpless
Into the ghetto canyons
"Antisocial" that's their only slang
Political correct on their stamps
Roast our bodies sharp! Bon appetite!
Swallow our souls to vomit it!
And the forces of the lords drive us from land to land
To the garbage canyons, to the eternal damned
Yes we ride, like puppets on our boneless dogs, helpless
Into the ghetto canyons
Life injurance saves your future plan
Saves your future in a wheel chair gang
But you laugh about this warning. You wanna drift there where
You want
To the suicide angels, if your fate is turning wrong
Suicide angels, you want never fall down, down from the sky
That's illusion, you can never fall, cause you are living in the
Devil's reich
We're the tools for our own coloured fate
No one really knows our place
Justice, give us your grace! Show your face!
But the war slaves of the lords drive us from land to land
To the garbage canyons, to the eternal damned
And we ride like puppets on our boneless dogs, helpless
Into the ghetto canyons
"Antisocial" that's their only slang
Political correct on their stamps
Roast our bodies sharp! Bon appetite!
Swallow our souls to vomit it!
And the forces of the lords drive us from land to land
To the garbage canyons, to the eternal damned
Yes we ride, like puppets on our boneless dogs, helpless
Into the ghetto canyons
Life injurance saves your future plan
Saves your future in a wheel chair gang
But you laugh about this warning. You wanna drift there where
You want
To the suicide angels, if your fate is turning wrong
Suicide angels, you want never fall down, down from the sky
That's illusion, you can never fall, cause you are living in the
Devil's reich
The band's third 1994 album, Symbols for the Blue Times, is a long, boring slog like their previous one.
I need to go "BUY" all of their cds, they are probably hard as fuck to come by, by now.....

The band will reform later this year (22)... and this is not a rumor.
Man was für eine Highlight jedes Lied ist eine Klasse für sich. In jedem der Alben. Ich hatte das Glück die Jungs in den 90iger mehrfach live zu sehen. Danke für Eure Musik!!!!
Was impressed by the clip - and mainly the song, so I've searched for so long the name of the band... Glad I found it :)

Wanna to talk with Ian but can’t find him
Gerade wiederentdeckt nach 25 Jahren. Reiner Zufall. - Mich trifft der Schlag!!! Genialer Song, völlig unterschätzte Band. Bis heute.
So geile Platte, Songs, Stimmung, Texte und das Scherenschnitt Artwork echt stimmig und einzigartig. Unvergessen die Truppe. Hab das Video zum ersten Mal gesehen. Danke fürs hochladen ??
Very cool band
Traumhafter Song
Where is Jan Lubitzki for music's sake?
обожаю эту песню ....
так драматично и гармонично здеся вся.?
