My Lament | My Mausoleum (Official Video) | Doom Death Metal

Official video of “My Mausoleum“, taken from My Lament´s second album “The Season Came Undone“, out now via Ardua Music. MY LAMENT is a doom/death metal band from Antwerp, Belgium. Since its genesis back in 2002, the core line-up has remained the same: founding members Steph (bass) and Vincent (drums), soon joined by Paul on guitar. Additional guitars, synths and vocals were supplied by various members throughout the years. After two successful releases, “Broken Leaf” (2009, Solitude Productions) and “Sorrow” (2015), the band have honed their underground roots into a more accessible sound with an emphasis on concise songwriting and memorable melodies. Their new album “The Season Came Undone” reflects the band’s ambition to reach a wider audience without giving up their doom/death heritage. With unique vocal harmonies, soaring leads, a pounding rhythm section and thoughtful lyrics, MY LAMENT has matured into a forward-thinking foursome that doesn’t sound quite like any other band. Band would speak on this song: _“My Mausoleum” relates the personal experience of one of My Lament’s own. To feel locked in, unable to show one’s true self, can be torture, and we hope the cathartic second part of the song will inspire others to find their way to a better life. As the mausoleum’s walls break down, claustrophobia gives way to hopeful yearning and proud determination, with Paul delivering one of his signature expressive leads._ LYRICS It’s quiet between these walls Of black marble and sighs Cold to the touch, seamless To the world’s inquisitive eyes This has been my fortress For forty years or more Frozen to the world outside Frozen to the core I’ve built a mausoleum Of all that I hold dear Nothing leaves or enters here In my mausoleum The past is locked in with me The air is stale and dead Echoes died out long ago No more to be said I walk along the walls at night Cursing them aloud Run my finger over them Know them inside out I’ve built a mausoleum Of all that I hold dear Cracks are starting to appear In my mausoleum I will tear it down Brick by brick, stone by stone I will shed my skin To let the inside out To let the outside in In my mausoleum --------------------------------- VIDEO CREDITS Director: Seppe Germaux () Assistant: Emiel Viellefont Gaffer: Kamil Budaszewski Dynamic light: Vincent Jacobs Special thanks to: Hendrik Nelde - Brouwerij Feys () Jeroen Carette - Lucenti Joren Verpoorten - PWR Lighting “The Season Came Undone“ was recorded and mixed by Lander Cluyse at Hearse Studio.
