Absolutely amazing guys, you've really taken your sound to the next level. There's a lot of variety and I love all of the synth sounds added, it really is a unique album. I've listened about 6 times and I've only had it a couple of days. AAA!
Favorite track: In This War.

Reminds me of great work by The Damned and Siouxsie and the Banshees. It's goth rock for a new generation, for sure. One of my fave albums from 2022.
Favorite track: Lisbon Hills.

I really like the electronic elements they've added. It creates a definite atmosphere and vibe that adds a lot to the tunes. This is a great album well worth the wait.
Favorite track: Bermondsey.

I love the way this band evolved through the years. Every album till now it's different on it's own way, but the sound and the dynamic of it, it's distinctive. You know it's deaf radio from the first note. They've already become my favorite greek act, and I hope they continue that way. Expecting the lp asap.
Favorite track: Bermondsey.

We are habits, filthy rabbits
Breaking through the nasty haze
Angry spirits stuck in the bottom
Lost my train of thought again
The age of golden hands
Eating lies within our space
When I cross the line that shines before you go
Falling apart
Breathing fine in my old cage
I thought we were young enough to run away
Tame your dancing
The city’s collapsing
Caught a whiff of who’s to blame
He said the clock is ticking, look in the mirror
I can’t find your hiding place

I don’t wanna be your lover
You treat me like a superstar
An electronic overthinker
Holographic animal
She’s a poly, sipping molly
Dancing in the Athens night
Cinematic streets are calling
The city’s getting gentrified
I wanna take it to the end of the world
Up to the brightest sun of all suns
I wanna take you to the end of the line
All our wet dreams emerging at last
I’m gonna take it to the end of the world
Up to the brightest sun of all the suns
I’m gonna come to the end of the line
They’re gonna take it to the end of the line
They’re gonna take it to the end of the line
A supersonic feeling set them free
Just take a look as they are falling in love
And all nobody-people floating above
Floating above
They don’t get it

(Lyrics by Tasos Livaditis, translation by Deaf Radio)
The simplest things we fought for
A door, a star, a stand
A sunny morning walk
A calm dream at night
A love that they can’t spoil
A song that we all sing
But they are breaking through our doors
They’re tearing down our hearts
Oh, the air smells rain and war
Maybe I won’t come home
You've got to keep moving on
A thousand people passed away
Just hold his hand and walk away
Maybe I’m out of hope
We’ll win our life in the end
We’ll be together one day
And make the night ours again
The air smells like rain and war
As the world keeps collapsing now
And trains of soldiers passing by
I could barely see them through the glass
The city died alone
The world could fit in our hearts
And I was waiting for you
Long before I met you
People running in the streets
Women closing their doors
As the noise keeps getting louder
There’s no place to sleep
I’m seeking for a smile
Just to confirm that we exist
Our traces lost in the storm
Every night they are
Taking away a man
There’s nowhere we could hide
Just heard what your eyes asked
Tomorrow people
Oh, the air smells rain and war...
We are falling into place
We got nothing left,
cause we’ve lost ourselves again

How low does it feel right?
Haunting colours, drifting over and gone
How low does it feel right?
Can’t breathe, to feel
Wrap them around your throat
Broken voices, closer than ever
How lower this time?
Distant spirits, screaming just to exist
Can’t breathe, can’t breathe, can’t
So do we feel alone this time?
The black sun is up for a while, tell me now
So how is it like the other side?
Lost in floods of thoughts, all alone
We’re growing under common skies
As we are forming connections
So can’t we stay together now?
Our paper planes are on fire
We’re back to the start
Sinking into quicksand
The world is crying, I ain’t got hope anymore
Is anyone out there?
Hands down, lights out
Let the children map the way, for a brighter future
The sky is resting on our hands, all our past feeling neutral

Model Society
03:27
|
|||
|
Lost my soul in the glasshouse
There’s no logic in this trial
I can feel it underground
There’s a virtual reality I can’t escape
Massive sounds and war tapes
Bought some feelings to erase
But I can see it on their face
They’ve got the combination that I can’t let go
Angry cities melting down
Fought our tension with a smile
Lost my grip but I don’t know why
I kept my attention on a big flat screen
Heavy clothes and empty eyes
Marching soldiers passing by
All the AI systems got out of hand
There’s a model society I can’t escape
We are coming out of cage, we are taking down the walls
There’s a prison for our hopes, they’ll be covering our voice
We got a 21st century phobia
And all the well-trained stars
They try to hold us back
We got 21 problems behind our backs
To move on
Crossed the city like a mental slave
A million problems but we turn our heads
I’m on the last train leaving from the fears in my head
But there’s a model a society I can’t escape

Crystal Fears
03:53

Engine’s on vibrating the puddles
That old rumble tearing through the dark
Walls are wet, there are holes in our covers
Microdosing crystal fears
Let the pill decide
Embrace the pale cloud
Move yourself online
Down the hill let it go
Take me right now
To the place where we wandered babe
They thought we lost our way
But I could see it in my head
Heaven’s lights, feel the cold every season
I can see it coming through the dark
Screaming pipes, hear the voice of reason
War porn daily - bombs blown near

Havoc

Flashing lights
Dancing shadows
Colours and feels
You can’t hide from
Shallow tides
Setting up a fire
Seeking the absent lover
I’m falling down for another
While I was stuck in an endless daydream
Calling out your name
We’re just gone
In a moment we fade
And wake up alone
I can’t feel my face
As we’re dripping sweat
Briefly touching each other
How thin is the air
How this will cause havoc
something slipped through the cracks,
It’s a liquid I can't stop
I keep blaming myself now
Doubting my faith now

In This War
05:43

Babe, you got to give it to yourself
Got to give it to yourself
Feels like home
What’d we fight for?
You said that we could have it all
You said that we could have it all
In this war, in this war
The city’s a ghost
As I am walking all alone
I found beauty in this world
Empty roads
Running away
Heavy thoughts along the way
Words are coming out like rain
In this war, in this war
You got me to the danger zone
No sign of life
My hottest tears came on time
Broken pictures of my life
Screaming loud
Am I getting old?
All my fears rise above
I let them dry on their own
In this war, in this war

Bermondsey

|
Down Long Lane I cycled to our place
Dropped the bike at the square, walked to Haven
I still hear the song of the ice-cream man
In the evenings when the sky was clearing
Pulled the blinds up, poured myself a drink
The red light was carving the carpet
And you‘re quietly napping on the bed
Half-eaten lunch, muted tele
There I’ll sit on my armchair and start reading
And this thought is sneaking in like a shadow
Will this last? Is it us? Are you willing?
I was close, nearly there, to believe it
How pointless the fights and the screaming
“Tidy up, make the bed, never be late”
Now the girl’s gone and we’re just photos
The flat’s cold and the roof started leaking
Did we change in Havana or later?
We grew up in that strange land together
There I watched you become a sunset
See how time flies and we stay shattered
How’s the view from your tower now baby?
Did we change in Havana or later?
Did we change in Havana at all?

about
Written during lockdowns, “Arsenal of Hope” is the album that made us sharpen our senses, shape our matured identity, and reinvent ourselves in a context of unprecedented change. Social isolation, digital addiction, and lack of human touch are becoming more relevant than ever and constitute the backbone of our third album.
Musically, this is our first attempt to blend electronic beats and synths with heavy guitars and catchy vocals. Combining pure rock energy with a post-disco, dance feel, this album includes some dynamic, anthem-like, sing-along choruses but has a darker, more introvert side as well.
“Arsenal of Hope” captures the unpleasantness of facing modern society’s complex issues. The journey can be long but, in the end, we’ll start blooming. And the ultimate feeling will be liberating.
