YomaBarr So you get nice spoken word that without you noticing it transforms into a desperate cry, and then, O my [supernatural entity of choice]! the music hits. This is a trip and a journey, and rain and sun, and blood and tears, and gods know what else. Excellent.
Do you also hear "my own skeleton" in the third track?

There's just a question that will nurture me till my days are over: what would happen if they lent their vocalist to Det eviga leendet?

Daniel Nielsen Fik min skive i dag med posten, og med en lille tak seddel som lige gjorde dagen ekstra god. Tak for det.

Amazing tracks yet again, lyrics are super depressing but very beautiful at the same time (may give you tears), and the music just suits them so well. Definitely an album that i will keep listening to throughout the year. 10/10.

Ebbe Scovdahl The first track is so dark and beautiful. Can’t wait for the full release.

Lysvågen Forårsnat Overstået vinterdvale Sovende blomster vågner “Ingenting kan forhindre at små struber skælver en forårsnat” Vær vægtløs Og lad os forblive Lysvågen Forårsnat Overstået vinterdvale Sovende blomster vågner Sitrende sind kan forstå, det kræver mod at gå de danske vintre i møde “Ingenting kan forhindre at små struber skælver en forårsnat” Rids vores navne ind i træerne Vær en lavine der buldrer og genopretter Lad intet være øde efter dønningen Vær en ebbe der giver liv, efter vi er væk Skriv vores navne ind i den våde cement Og vær den første lyd et ufødt barn hører i sin mors mave Lysvågen Forårsnat Overstået vinterdvale Sovende blomster vågner Sitrende sind kan forstå det kræver mod at gå de danske vintre i møde “Ingenting kan forhindre at små struber skælver en forårsnat”

Kære far Min bror og jeg er de eneste tilbage, der bærer dit navn Kære far Mine sønner arver en flig af dig - du lever i dem Dine børnebørn bærer det bedste fra dig Vi er aftryk af dig Et helt liv siden nu At jeg kunne se dig At jeg kunne mærke dig Jeg vil dø for at se dig sammen med dem Jeg vil dø Solnedgang, gul måne Jeg afspiller fortiden Jeg kender hver en scene udenad De fløj for hurtigt af sted Selvom vi har været adskilt Skærer det stadig i mit hjerte Du lever stadig inden i mig Aldrig skilt ad

Mit efternavn i en dødsannonce Men jeg mærker ingenting En lejlighed, et liv i ruin; jeg skal prøve at forstå Mit efternavn i en dødsannonce Men jeg mærker ingenting Et liv pakket ned i et par kasser Snart glemt i nattens mulm Du burde være min faster Men det er du ikke I jord skal alting blomstre (Måske jeg forstår dig) Farverne sprænges, formerne brister Naiv barnetro svigter I jord skal alting blomstre Jeg I håber, du ved, hvem du var, da dit hjerte stoppede brat 4 mennesker til din begravelse 2 af pligt, 2 kom for sent Er det aftryk, du har sat på jorden Jeg gemmer et billede af dig, hvis jeg glemmer, hvordan jeg ikke skal ende Et billede af dig For første gang mærker jeg noget: Den sidste papkasse på lossepladsen Endelig er det slut - Familien er død Endelig er det slut Familien er død

”Jeg elsker dig i procent mere end noget tal”, sagde Anders til mig, en time før jeg hørte om dig Men vi, vi er ikke klar, klar til at dø, klar til at dø. Vi står på skuldrene af giganter, og alt der kom før Vi trækker de dybeste spor, og de fortæller os, at livet er smukt, og derfor gør det ondt Jeg bærer dig, hvor end jeg går Vi er ikke færdige med at leve Vi er ikke færdige med at elske Lad os droppe de her metaforer og sig det som det er: Jeg elsker dig i procent mere end noget tal Vi er i live – lad os fejre Og jeg bærer dig, hvor end jeg går Vi er ikke færdige med at drømme Vi er ikke færdige med at drømme

about

What do you do when one of your best friends gets diagnosed with cancer? How do you handle losing someone close to you?

Vægtløs are trying to wade into questions like these on their upcoming album, which solely includes songs about people close to the band who died or suffered deadly diseases.

Vægtløs focuses on a vulnerability and openness that are lacking in the music scene, but also in society, in general. Life is fleeting and fragile, and Vægtløs is a bridge to gap between the monumental emotional dread underlying the fact that all beauty will eventually die and the cathartic strength found in music.

In these immensely bleak times, the need for melancholic and desolate music has never been greater. Vægtløs pours every last bit of passion into their aggressive yet emotional music which can be described as intense and atmospheric post-metal with hints of black metal, post-rock, post-hardcore, and emo, eventhough it is not a distinct variation of neither of those, but a mutated multifaceted modificaton of the sum. Musically the band never took any notice of trends and genres, as the band draws inspiration equally from life as from art and music.
