I look around and all I see is madness, hate, misanthropy but inside the eye of the storm reigns nothing but serenity I try to pull you all inside the centre of my fortress walls but the gates are down, the trench is deep full of blood and tears you weep Join me I am in the eye of the storm nothing can touch me Come on try to climb the walls of mundane and join me nothing can reach me Join me I am in the eye of the storm nothing can touch me Come on try to climb the walls of mundane and join me nothing can reach me Chaos is surrounding me Everything is threatening The shot of a gun, the hug of a friend For me there is no difference Here in this secluded place my mind can rest and never face the cruelty of the world the pain of being left behind Join me I am in the eye of the storm nothing can touch me Come on try to climb the walls of mundane and join me nothing can reach me Join me I am in the eye of the storm nothing can touch me Come on try to climb the walls of mundane and join me nothing can reach me Help me escaping the eye of the storm nothing can save me

In this forgotten world we are the ones to forget our failures to wander with our eyes closed not longing to understand our soul‘s abyss Our lifes made out of false promises denied our small piece of heaven inside we seem to neglect ourselves and linger This forsaken world this world is so full of denial noone cares for a change a change of our lives Bathe in innocence like everyone of our kind you might be the first one to die Our lifes made out of false promises denied our small piece of heaven inside we seem to neglect ourselves and linger

Empty World 05:45
Waking up, realizing the absence of sound empty streets, no sign of life just the bitter taste of guilt I‘ll stay here I cry every night for the dreams long forgotten and if I leave this place no one will notice because I‘m all alone here in this empty world Empty streets, no sign of life everyone left long ago winter coated everything with ashes We had our chance and lost it too many failures, too many cries in vain unheard, ignored. And now large amounts of pulverized debris and molten earth are pulled up into the mushroom cloud it now contains billions of highly radioactive particles this is where radioactive fallout is born I‘ll stay here I cry every night for the memories that are fading I will not leave this place Be a reminder That our home has not always been an empty world

I stare into the fire I stare into the fire Brighter than the sun the sky is burning permanent shadows etched into the dust The sum of all fears the force of life reversed into the fire of a thousand suns the blessing of a painless passing I remember the day Not so long ago I was ready to fly Ready to die My mind was blinded by pride I could end this war A simple task just drop the load My gift to men is to end the hate I brought light day to the darkest hour I am become Death the destroyer of worlds Bring daylight to the night Sunshine to the winter End the darkness Destroy the cold Greyish snow is falling Clouds of dust are rolling down the hills Human remains and debris unified in the winter’s breeze The sum of all fears the force of life reversed into the fire of a thousand suns the blessing of a painless passing I will cleanse these lands With the fire of a thousands suns filth and dirt will fade only light will remain Peace is inbound silence, serenity there is no time to be afraid when you see the flash I‘m Fire I‘m Death I became the destroyer of worlds I‘m Fire I‘m Death I became the destroyer of worlds I‘m Fire I am Death I became the destroyer of worlds There’s no return There’s no return There’s no return There’s no return There’s no return

The light of day turns into night and there is no place to hide myself my demons crawl up on me now hiding in the shadows Eyes can‘t see the horrors coming to me when it‘s dark your eyes can‘t see the horrors coming to me when it‘s dark Don‘t close your eyes never go to sleep tonight don‘t surrender to the sweet embrace Don‘t close your eyes never go to sleep tonight because phobetor is waiting for you now My power‘s slowly fading away the shadows closing in around me he still is waiting in the dark but soon he will show his face Eyes can‘t see the horrors coming to me when it‘s dark your eyes can‘t see the horrors coming to me when it‘s dark Don‘t close your eyes never go to sleep tonight don‘t surrender to the sweet embrace Don‘t close your eyes never go to sleep tonight because phobetor is waiting for you now Come to me you look tired why don‘t you just rest for a moment? relax you‘re safe here it‘s no use fighting you have to sleep welcome to my domain Come close your eyes you need to go to sleep tonight come surrender to my sweet embrace

Now the leaves are fallen In the silence of the night The sail is set and finally the wind sings lullabies No mountain left unconquered And all the borders have been crossed No words are left unspoken to give comfort to the heart And I am ready to leave this place forevermore The voice that calls for me is getting louder now to To embark on a journey towards new shores Down down down My unmoored soul may drift on stranger tides Than any man in this world knows of Long way down and be overthrown by the weakest winds winds that would not even stir a hair In the valleys of fear I wander a feeble leaf, adrift and limp descended from a withered tree - my sole aim is to leave And I’m ready to leave this world forevermore the blasts are getting stronger - time is running out my mind is clear when I arrive The doubt returned We never thought we’d have to fight For our lives We cry - We die Now the leaves have fallen In the silence of the night The sail was set and finally the wind keeps passing by

Stargazers 05:30
To reach for the light you are holding up high to fulfill the goal That you once have been told You forgot everyone including yourself you need to rest and pull down your shelf Stargazers far beyond reality Stargazers don’t miss your life while hunting your dreams Is this a fight you’re able to win? or is it worth to die within? Dieing inside Your world runs dry Slaving away Suppressed by your inner self Don’t forget who you are And who you were in better days No defect And no need to please Stargazers trying to change your destiny Stargazers don’t waste your life While hunting your dreams You’re still standing tall and grew your strength your scars did heal you climbed the throne it’s done you won alone

Tempest 05:38
The tide has come to cleanse the world from mankind salvation come the day of judgement has arrived Rise, rise a new start has to be made defy the lies and end all the flaws of our kind the time is right no hope inside we were wrong The time is now to rid the world of this plague it ends today nothing will remain We won‘t leave before we are sacrificed this judgement day will be the dawn of a new world Rise, rise a new start has to be made defy the lies and end all the flaws of our kind we will rise once more - once more

about

"I will not leave this place, be a reminder, that our home has not always been an empty world"

Back in 2010 in vocalist Manuel and drummer Nico founded DECAYING DAYS in Münster, north-west germany, to shape their musical passions in the rehearsal room. Some time and changes went by, until the release of the first demo-tape in 2013. Later in 2015 the current line-up with Daniel and Tobias on the guitars and Hannes on the bass guitar was consolidated.

Initially driven by the dark energy of finnish Death-Doom, the last two years of songwriting expanded the versatility of their universe of sound. Severe riffs and memorable Melodic Death Metal-melodies in ‘Waves of neglect’ accompany with endtime-elegies of ‘Empty world’ and progressive trips and acoustic-guitars are giving drifts of the 90ies-Opeth aesthetics. DECAYING DAYS are entering even more new terrain, when death-growls and polyphonic clean-vocals build a symbiosis in ‘A long way down’.

In collaboration with Jörg Uken (known for productions with God Dethroned, Dew-Scented among many others) the band spent a good time recording at the Soundlodge-Studio to finish their first album.

PRESS

"Decaying Days tap into a melancholy that is not despairing but is beginning to wither in the face of perseverance. The German melodic death-doom act’s incredible debut spends all of its emotional time and effort in that moment where the man downed begins to rise again, with wounds still fresh but eyes and spirit alight. This is a place we’re all familiar with, and one that spurs on change for the better. Decaying Days rekindles the flames which made one stand up and dust themselves off, and while dreariness is the order of the day it never once enervates the spirit. This is a nostalgia trip, but not in the genre sense; instead, it’s a trip down one’s personal memory lane to the place where they decided to improve their life." - angrymetalguy.com
