Mouth of the Architect - Quietly

[TiduS4max]

this album destroys worlds

[juvedoo99]

One day out of.every week i spend looking for new bands from different genres(metal,hardcore, black metal,under ground rap etc..) and when i find a band like this it makes me extremely happy and fills my body and mind with inspiration for my life and my.own music projects. Music is truly the only.form of freedom in this world.

[dearprodigal]

I should have turned to you and said, It's alright darling someday you'll forget me

And your eyes would have welled up with tears Mine would have as well

So these days a wandering mind holds sway And hope is a knife sick with need

Will you cry out for me in your sleep?

Wasting what precious little time we have left On a dead man trying to find life

Against a bright moon dark sky and city lights

The color of her eyes, the taste of her flesh

I've failed again Quietly leaving quietly leaving again

[dearprodigal]

1) if you don't like the music, why are you wasting time hating it? just don't look for it.

2) those aren't the lyrics to this song. i'll post them in a second.

[Overcrab]

it was okay until that dude started screamin then it was mediocre...

[MrWiggerdale123]

Glad I found this, it's hard to find such 'epic' music

[OMEGAMASSIVE]

I feel sorry for people that don't listen to this shit. Actually nevermind, I don't. Fuck them. This shit belongs to us.

[OMEGAMASSIVE]

one of the best vocalists out there in the post metal realm. Mad respect for MOTA.

[anthichriste]

I should have turned to you and said "It's alright, darling someday you'll forget me" And your eyes would have welled up with tears I would have as well So these days, a wandering mind holds sway And hope is enough Sing with me Sing with me Will you cry out for me in your sleep Wasting what precious little time *we have had* Like a dead man trying to find life Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights Like dead man trying to find life Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights

[Overcrab]

@anthichriste uhh yeah them lyrics are gay and frightening i agree

[poordeludedjoe]

It makes me sad that the attention span of the average music fan robs them of enjoying amazing soundscapes like this. People miss out on a LOT of brilliantly written music.

[danblaze83]

@poordeludedjoe That's okay, more for us to enjoy.

[angelslayr]

The lyrics to this song are just raw. Delicate and brutal all at the same time. It's like watching someone freeze to death in their own regrets. O_o This band is out of this world.

[wikiwikiwee1]

Congratulations Mouth Of The Architect! You have just gained one more fan!

[666spawnofsatan666]

beautiful

[4F4E45]

The vocals really add focus to the emotion of the song. I am a fan of heavy instrumentals and these vocals are not distracting.

[as900039as]

the drum made a nice feeling

[Hurt646]

To be honest, the song was really ruined for me at 2:15, when they suddenly decided to ruin perfectly good ambience with scream. This isn't my genre, and I got this linked of /mu/, but it still disappointed me.

[TheLANDADDY]

@Hurt646 I agree in a way but his screams really almost channel his anger and passion that went into writing the song...

[makeithurtful]

holy shit I need this entire album, NOW.

[Valathe]

I think comparing rosetta with mouth of the architect does neither side justice. they doe belong to the same "genre" (in my opinion), but they both also have a very distinct sound...and i love both <3

[BFTwins]

If you are talking about old man gloom and zozobra, you might as well talk about the band all the guys in there came from, and by that I mean the greatest band in the world: ISIS

[lokiskywalker]

3 people farted on my balls.

[hcjochem]

Such a great song... I love it...

[tmteband]

What a wonderful song...

[interbeing]

[kaoskreator2]

Found these guys after hearing they did a song with Brent Hinds from Mastodon. Freaking love this. I'll be checking out other related bands too (except High on Fire. tried that and didn't like it). Sludge Metal ftw.

[failgame]

was good until the downie started screaming... wtf,,,

[insomnia98]

@failgame Totally agree, fucking shitface singers need to stop ruining good music

[ryanexsus]

@failgame this is doom. It's a new level of doom/progressive/sludge. They are blending genres like Rwake, Kylesa, Black Cobra, Mastodon etc.

[kradeler]

i tattoo this band on my leg 8 monts ago on my birthday! i love it!

[ckyfan969696]

the intro to this song is driving me crazy. i feel like i have heard it in a film. am i wrong?

[Volgin93]

@ckyfan969696 Yeah me too...

[ufo8mycat]

What the hell just happened? I left the room halfway through the "mad as hell" bit from Network and came back to find this TOTALLY AWESOME song play. If it was a plot it work. I'm going to be checking out Mouth of the Architect for the rest of the night.

[kradeler]

@ufo8mycat chek hate and heartache song haves a intro from the movie ``network'' mad has hell scene

[79blackcloud]

this song slays me every time.

[zombiecatgirl]

...two weeks 'til Roadburn :))

[abirk]

so fucking good

[91Kubson]

just love it...

[Fragile0Still]

I got squishy when people spoke of Rosetta here. let's get the translation loss roster more well known everyone, ok? Giant Squid, The Ocean, Rosetta, Mouth of the Architect ... just get these kinds of bands out there!

[Dustin322]

Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights

The colour of her eyes

The taste of her flesh

I feel again

Quietly leave me

Quietly leave me

Again Again

[Dustin322]

I should have turned to you and said "It's alright, darling someday you'll forget me" And your eyes would have welled up with tears I would have as well So these days, a wandering mind holds sway And hope is enough Sing with me Sing with me Will you cry out for me in your sleep Wasting what precious little time *we have had* Like a dead man trying to find life Against a bright moon, dark sky and city lights Like dead man trying to find life

[AMRadioHits]

I love how there are three central thematic passages that they build up to, each as beautiful as the last. They're abrupt in transition, but so correct, and they follow the lyrics beautifully. Wow, this might be music I'd pay for.

[godaggert]

Love the guitar "screams" from 7:30.......

[AstronautJ]

They are amazing.

If you like them, check out bands like Old Man Gloom, Zozobra (shares members with OMG) and The Ocean Collective.

[AstronautJ]

Oh and Rosetta -- the greatest thing to ever happen to music -- they have the same 'epic', desperate and passionate sound on all their tracks, beautiful shit.

[endoftheline9]

OCEAN

[UnfoundUnderground]

I FUCKING LOVE ROSETTA

[alexmetallicaZFC13]

@UnfoundUnderground WE ALL FUCKING LOVE ROSETTA ( AND ISIS , NEUROSIS, CULT OF LUNA)

[underalus]

"desperate and passionate" is the most apt way I've ever heard anyone describe the similarity between these two bands. Untrained ears think they all sound the same, that it's all aggressive and therefore all the same. Rosetta like MotA have a certain pain behind their anger that most bands lack (besides Cult of Luna's Somewhere Along the Highway).

Do you have any more recommendations for bands that have that same kind of desperation?

[AstronautJ]

It's a very unique feeling, listening to these bands, isn't it. Nice to meet someone with similar tastes :)

The only other bands I can think of with that sort of sound are Buried Inside (They may seem like just angry guys screaming, but if you really listen and read the lyrics to Chronoclast, you'll be engulfed by its raw emotion) and some Isis stuff.

Bands like Rosetta are few and far between, sadly. Let me know how you go with Buried Inside -- if you haven't already heard them.

[eztmegmostminek]

I also like Converge

[melioth]

@AstronautJ  maybe solstafir would be a good choice too. But they are more to be settled in the "shoegaze-blackmetal" corner.

[indofin]

@AstronautJ check out Arktika - "Heartwrencher" too. Very similar to Rosetta from Germany. I think Envy also has this quality you two are talking about.

[jackXass]

@AstronautJ

Why can't we have more folks like you and underalus around here? You both have uncanny steadfast observation of musical power that is appreciated by so few. Many are quick to judge, but you both can listen with your heart and mind in a collective manner that should be respected. All should learn from both of you. These bands I have grown to love and admire give me the drive to compose my own music, in time I would love to share the feelings you two pass between intelligent minds.

[underalus]

@ryanexsus will do son, thanks for the recco.

[Dow7969]

@underalus A band similar to this though not quite as raw is Amia Venera Landscape

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@underalus Try Crowbar.

[Syrues]

@AstronautJ Rosetta BLOW MY MIND........ PEOPLE LISTEN TO ROSETTA: Wake and Departe!!!!

[kradeler]

@AstronautJ really like this band dud are one of my 2 favorite bands!! and i tattoo it in to my leg!! they are pretty amazing!!

[shadow46and2]

The vocals are just amasing
