I always
thought that melancholic music was the perfect liberation of despair, sorrow,
sadness, anger and all the gloomy feelings. Give me teardrops falling from the
guitar strings, a sad cry escaping from each note of the piano and a mournful
voice echoing with poetic beauty and I will close my eyes and drift away to the
sound of an infinite emotion inside my mind and heart.

I remember
my first experience listening to BTM (Beyond The Morninglight). It was
different in many ways and I couldn´t remain indifferent to what was in front
of me. If you ask me what was it like I can surely say it was a mix of
emotions! The first thing hitting me was Runar voice… deep and soft with an
unique beauty but at the same time sad and melancholic as if a dreadful loss drowned the vocalist in
a kind of profound nightmare. The second thing that I really enjoyed but only
after listening to it a few times was the uncommon blend between rock and roll,
doom and melodies. I have to say that at first it was very strange to my ear
but time after time the soundscape was getting easier to understand and all the
influences of the band were making much sense together. Last but not least what
surprised me was the simplicity of the music that seemed to deny the complexity
of all the musical structure.
I remember
my words in an old BTM review: “... the dark sound of Norway influenced by its
depressive atmosphere that creates the perfect ambient for the melancholic
music.”, or something like that. Today those words remain in me to describe this
band but with a slight difference- the dark sound of BTM creates a unique blend
of music that exudes their own style in the best way possible.
“Lifelines” EP is the perfect execution of their vision and clear evolution of BTM and the refinement of a style that can come to change the way people look at their music.

One melee with the words, ideas and its paradoxes... albuns that are news, the reviews at "HeavyHardMetalmania.net", always with its watermark, Pedro Ribeiro, with love for beer... sorry, music from an early age, he studied piano and singing from 7 to 14 years, then, devoted himself to the study of the guitar for 5 years. "The wisdom is found in the extremes, all extreme Metal here!"
