about

When Ahrayeph was slated to play its first live concert back in September 22nd of '07, James flew in to attend this 'historic' event. He had done so six months before for a concert of our mutual friends of For Greater Good, the occasion for our first meeting in the flesh. It was at that time that he had texted me the sentence that has now become the second verse in this song's lyric right after the plane had landed. The rest of the lyrics are references to things that happened and will no doubt sound familiar to the people who happened to be there at the time.

lyrics

Roam the skies in Hallowed Light
To see the Brother from another Mother taking Flight

Touch down in a different town
Wide eyes watch, all around

Let’s take a ride under shrouded skies
Reelin’ round the fountain on a Patio : Slappin’’ Time

Let’s get together under city lights
Seven Heavy Devils on a Dark September Night

Broken Heart and the Biggest of Si’s
Drinking till a woman runs screaming into the Night

Take another round through the Heart of the Dawn
Riding out the Storm till the morning comes along

Roam around in a different town
Senses wide, drinkin’ in new sounds

Captured in the Moment of this 22nd Movement
Raptured by the Tribute of a Summer that will Never Land

We oughta dae this again

about

Ahráyeph Leuven

Prog, Goth, Rock, something music-y. Definitely dark. Dark is good. If you like dark music with the odd odd time signatures thrown in with the melancholy, this is your place to be.

This music is something so unique, yet it's still firmly keeping it's goth roots, especially in guitars. We need more of this in the modern goth scene! Wishing to see NFD playing live some day as well. 𝑨𝒛𝒖𝒍 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒂

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22
