Egoism 06:04

The morn in russet mantle clad Prologue to the omen coming on Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside There's nothing inside You show me how is there You show me the life on earth You should save them from their madness The morn in russet mantle clad Bleeding red tears in a violent storm Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside I've spent too much I've spent too much Time Thinking about My own self To let my life be a little bit more Than frames of an eyelid beat Morn is bleeding red tears in a violent storm Morn is bleeding red tears in a violent storm Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside Look at your eyes can't you see there's nothing inside I've spent too much time Covering my self The sun just shines Out of my egoism

Red Giant 05:54

Whenever I'll let you down A grey light over the trees Whenever I cannot see A sunbeam in hollow skies We were wrong please don't leave us alone I will never rise again to give the light is inside of me I hate your breed We've never tried once to stop Ourselves killing this world However we can't expect To live for another day ...and this is our last radio transmission, it is impossible for me to find the right words now, to find any words, though there's just one thing I can tell now really we were wrong, we thought that everything would fix itself Take a look now on the earth all the people have understood We were wrong please don't leave us alone we're wrong don't take your revenge on us we're wrong please don't leave us alone don't leave us alone don't leave us alone I will never rise again to give the light is inside of me I hate your breed Take a look now on the earth all the people have understood Turn off the light off the light Just leave your own desire Of being alive

Fade to Blue 04:10
lyrics

Sometimes i wish i could Unplug my unconscious Lay my thoughts above sheets of paper And set them on fire From the ash i'll figure out a change To something new and different Something that cannot hurt me Sometimes I can recall things my mind just forgets Sometimes I feel a pain that doesn't exist It harms me more than anything else around me And leaves my thoughts empty With no hope i can figure out a change To something new and different Something that i choose for me I'll figure out My own change I choose for me I choose for me Is it still like Yesterday and i Let papers burn Fading to red the sky Maybe this time I'll paint my sky On papers colored just blue and white Comprehend The past then just forget Is it still like yesterday under that red sky? Stands over me sorrounding me Or maybe this time i'll paint my sky with shades of blue and white

The Path 04:57
lyrics

I wish I could be back to when I was a child To colour black and white images of my life That time has been fading under an incessant rain That's fallen over years just passed like I wasn't there My coherence is undermined by your words Now you've closed your eyes you're feeling better Now you've closed your eyes you're feeling better Are you feeling better now? Now you've closed your eyes you're feeling better You don't know what is my condition I did not choose the way I've been growing up I've always been overwhelmed by paranoia waves I refuse the path Designed to be followed so that we can say we Become men But are we so sure about that? There is no gray There is just Black and white In my head Emotions have no shades You don't know what is my condition Now you've closed your eyes you're feeling better I did not choose the way I've been growing up I've always been overwhelmed by paranoia waves I did not choose the way i've been growing up I've always been under waves of paranoia And I can certainly affirm that sometimes My legs did not resist Fixed into place Strained by judgments

Before It's Morning 04:38
lyrics

Fake artificial tones Laid on floors of incessant beats A profusion of wet bodies Reflect a cold glowing light And i wanna feel your sight can't leave me now Could i take control of my need to desire I fail while your lips are trying to let a breath out saying Just let me come a little closer please warm me up i feel so cold Here alone there's no one who can thrill me somehow Here i'm ready right to turn your night on And i see showy ostentatious Exhibitions and your gaze upon me Seems far too much intense Not to be your willful intention But i can't stop think about just how i'm here now Don't you realize there's not a chance for us You still try to speak to me but i'm away so Let me go before it's morning let me go i think it's time Here alone there's no one who can thrill you somehow Here i'm ready right to leave you on your own So you'll be alone again Let me go before it's morning Let me go I am ready to thrill you I am ready to leave you one time again Let me go the dawn is rising my time has come Let me go before it's morning just let me go Let me go the dawn is rising my time has come Let me go before it's morning just let me Leave you one time again and Leave

Embrace 05:11
lyrics

Hi Who's there? What do you want from me? Please, please shut down I don't wanna talk with you Please shut down I told you to shut down that *** No Cold is the sand of the desert in my head The sun never rises in my heart Only wind that like a whisper makes me feel so cold Makes me feel so cold Cold Your face stands out in the sea of my faults I've been one step close to the aim You've kissed my lips so many times, that I wish that yours could be a part of me, Like your soul embraced to mine Embrace me forever, forever Forever Your face stands out in the sea of my faults I've been one step close to the aim No I got no answers I feel the reasons Of this will I have This will I am Another grain that shapes the rules See you now All around Can't you leave me and let me be Free from your hollow smile Ties me to a painful being

about

Press Review

"Mathrock and prog hand in hand with hardcore. Definitely something worth it." - MArte Magazine, IT

"In the sea of alternative-clone bands, there's someone really alternative." - Noize Italia, IT (2010 Top Bands Compilation)

“A high caliber work that is a small treatise on sound experiments. Opening up to new horizons has never been so pleasent. ” - Heavy Impact, IT - 8/10

“It seems like each song was made to get inside you and not to come out very easily”. - Shapeless Zine, IT - 8/10

"Prologue is an exciting journey to the edges of post-rock and psychedelia, able to lead you through raging waves of guitar distortions and intense melancholic reflections" – Italia di Metallo, IT – 8.5/10

“I've rarely listened to such a compact and powerful sound on a self released work.” - Ondarock, IT - 6/10

“Prologue is as ambitious a record as its title implies, and speaks to me loudly enough that I’ll be watching keenly for the band’s first appearances on these shores.” - The Dreaded Press, UK

“Watzlawick ain't copycats, here they burn very own fireworks and absolutely got what it takes!” - Metal .de, DE - 7/10

“The tones are fantastic and their ideas are really fresh. Their advantage is that they mix rock and metal in a crazy way, I can connect them (in sound matters) with ‘Russian Circles’ and this is honorable.” - NoiZine, GR

“Their taste toward restrained noise, their urge to throw out dark emotions, their manner and their ease in doing this convince with no doubts at all. After this debut ep we can't expect anything but a full lenght as much interesting and engaging.” - SoundMagazine, IT
