"Best Emerging Band of 2005", this is what the Communic are according to a very important German magazine (German, like the band).
Very well known in Germany and eager to make a name for themselves here in Italy too, Communic release their second official album (considering the first one is a demo) called "Conspiracy In Mind". With this album, they are immediately noticed for their ability to blend calm and relaxing moments with breathtakingly violent passages.
A concrete example is the song "History Reversed" which constantly alternates slow pieces and rocky and aggressive parts. At first, this may seem a bit too "daring", but if listened to diligently, one will realize that composing such pieces is truly the work of geniuses. What strikes the most, however, is the overall sound of "Conspiracy In Mind", precise and modern: each instrument performs its part with equal importance and every note is distinguishable and comprehensible.
We can notice the cover image which could easily be mistaken for a progressive context; there is just a small but not negligible detail that shifts the idea: the little girl depicted sitting on a chair is surrounded by blades ready to slice her tender flesh, essential for conveying a warning of violence to the audience.
Worth a listen by everyone but certainly by "Nevermore" fans.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Conspiracy in Mind (07:38)
Here in a deadly maze, there is something hiding in the dark,
In clouded minds where hate and anger collide
I spiral into a grand illusion in a world of reality beyond
Then the secret of my inner self will reveal
I see tears in your eyes
I sense weakness inside
I will take you far away,
To the deepest of your dreams
Let me in on your stream,
To the entrance of your deep
I watched in disbelief
Imprisoned in a deadly maze
The enemy rise from within
Risking their lives on a dangerous search
With conspiracy in mind
Taste the hate within
Human weakness
A solution to the mystery
With conspiracy in mind
Now hear my warning
All you sinners on the porch
Sweet relief from the pain of longing
Remember this twisting smile
Unspeakable anguish
Heaven's out of reach
When mother nature will surely
Descend, and sleep for eternity
Please release the weight
That lies on my shoulders
Please release the weight
That lies on my shoulders
I spiral into a grand illusion
In a world of reality beyond
I see tears in your eyes
Always out of reach
I want to sleep for eternity
[Solo]
I see tears in your eyes
I sense weakness inside
I will take you far away,
To the deepest of your dreams
Let me in on your stream,
To the entrance of your deep
I watched in disbelief
Imprisoned in a deadly maze
The enemy rise from within
Risking their lives on a dangerous search
With conspiracy in mind
Taste the hate within
Human weakness
A solution to the mystery
With conspiracy in mind
03 They Feed on Our Fear (09:53)
Deep under the mountain in the darkest of the forest
In the shadows that falls from the trees
Deep in the black lake don't dare to go near
Don't you dare to go near
Behind the door to the closet
Reflections in the mirror
Every sounds you hear at night
If you look outside you'll see their pounding eyes
You'll see their eyes as light that glows in the night
Hiding under your bed
They feed on our fear
Created in our dreams at night when we are asleep
Where all the creatures of the underworld lives
Never out in the light
Afraid to die in the morning light
To dust they crumble of they're touched by the daylight
[Solo]
She have always been there since the first tall tale was told by the fire
To their children before they tuck them into bed at night
Tale of a Dream weaver
Stories about a beautiful siren
With a song that fool's every man to follow
She lives deep in the lake
Raving along in the full moons light
Watching her children play
Fooling around in the dead of night
Be home by dawn
Walk in the obscure
In the silence of the night
Don't wake the sleeping child
A window of glory light
From deep within our dream
From dusk till dawn, we can hear them ponder
In the night they come, from deep within
Frozen to stone, while asleep at night
The night awakens our fear
But were always saved by the morning light
They feed on our fear
I have seen their eyes
As lights that glows in the night
Hiding under my bed
Dream weaver...
05 The Distance (08:08)
Two pieces of one kind we live our separated lives
One hundred miles are not so far away
In spite the map of our world
A planet with so many good intensions
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
Like in a fairy tale we fly away into the night
And when the winter is done you'll be back in my arms
[Solo]
Like in a fairy tale we fly away into the night
And when the winter is done you'll be back in my arms
My arms... my arms...
Growing strong by being alone
Knowing that you'll soon be home
Then nothing on Earth can manage to tear us apart
And a garden in blossom will wipe the tears from our eyes
Like in a fairy tale we fly into the night
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
Like in a fairy tale we fly away into the night
07 Silence Surrounds (10:59)
To suffer when all hope is denied
Waged down by sorrow, marked by grief
To suffer when all hope is denied
Waged down by sorrow, marked by grief
A home in flames, fathomless night
Seek shelter from pain, I wish to forget...
At the edge of the world, last stand has been taken
Feeding on the enemy, with a clean shot
Deadly screams, don't reveal your presence
It's hard to ignore the blackened debris
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Unthinkable days, man against man
Fighting on plains, streams of pitch and soil
The final conflict, between the remains of the world
Brother fights brother, over poisoned water
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds, silence grows
A word so tall, brother we are close
A sleep so deep, stance wounded ear
Look at the shadows, brother we are so close to the goal
Unthinkable days, man against man
Fighting on plains, streams of pitch and soil
The final conflict, between the remains of the world
Brother fights brother, over poisoned water
At the edge of the world, man against man
Living on fear, deadly screams can be heard
A home in flames, a child left for it self's to care
Seeking shelter from pain, wishing to forget...
... to forget
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
A strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
[Solo]
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Watch over yourself, brother
Watch over yourself, brother
Watch over yourself, brother...
