About Me

the breath of divinity turns suffocating to the spirit which cannot contain itself in a common shelf of mortal form, thus shapes within a will of transcendence, a dream of ascension.

tragically also the abyss is within. the dual essence of the spirit: the permanency in a arrogant state of the conscious centred in itself – the rise of imperfection and contingency of mortality over the supreme living essence, man pretending himself as point omega and erasing in him the point alpha will forevermore remain in a state of imperfection – the man as image of matter and not as a path of transcendence.

to create a soundtrack to such thoughts has been the main motive since the founding of the band: to mourn the fall of what is ethereal in man or to praise the paths of transcendence to which one can ascend.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/08/2005
Band Website: http://www.whyangelsfall.pt.vu
Band Members: Nero: architecture, 6strings & words
Miguel: ambiance & pianos
Rob: low.frequencies groove
Júlio: thunderous percursion of woe
Basílio: addictional rock n' roll refinement
Influences: "Den elpizo tipota. Den foßumai tipota. Eimai eleftheros."
Sounds Like: "This band plays very atmospheric and high quality death/doom-metal. Perhaps best comparable to early Anathema, mixed in with the epic doom of While Heaven Wept. However Why Angels Fall manages to escape the trap of sounding like yet another clone. Good vocals and musical compositions make sure you can get a lot of high quality moping out of the music. This is music to listen to at candlelight, holding a glass of blood red wine and philosophising about the depressive nature of human existence. The piano adds a nice extra dimension to the music." - in www.doom-metal.com
Record Label: looking for one
Type of Label: Unsigned
