Wow, Infinity is some song. That chorus melody is huge and I love the lyrics.
Hell yes. I listened to this a few pages ago in this thread. I actually forgot I did until you mentioned Infinity, which is indeed awesome!
I just can't get through an entire album of Ralf in one go.
Yeah I remember you saying it was a SOTY nomination. First listen I wasn't so sure, but 3 listens in and holy shit, this song is unbelievalbe. It's very simple, but the whole atmosphere of it is just really comforting. The verses are so straightforward but powerful and that chorus is so strong. This actually gives me an older Gamma Ray feel for some reason. Could be one of Magnus' best choruses. These lyrics strike a chord with me;
I can't stop thinking about you, it's burning my soul
I'm fighting my demons, I just wanna die here alone
I walk through the ruins of my life, there's nowhere to go
Bury my dreams, let me bleed, I'm alive and not goneand this line;
Bullets can't hurt me, my heart died a long time agoHoly shit.
The outro made more sense when I listened to it in the car this morning and the power of the song really came to light.
The album is pretty good. It's good to see Tom writing a few more and adds some diversity. It's a pretty damn good album. The band have released strong work every 2 years since 2012. That's impressive.
