Drown On Word 05:50
lyrics
They speak shout and bark Prick like neddles Compel to listening Man is just an animal.
2.
Dumb Mud 05:40
lyrics
When Latin was my mother tongue So soon as from the pagan earth There was a place, across the roads toward the sea Full of magic. The Italian establishment is killing the culture And the worst thing about it is that they play dumb Their smirk and gesture seems So far away from reality So far away from life it-self. Nothing has changed Since the world revolved around the sun. This game of chess has not finished yet Many people consider life to be the greatest game they've ever played Not even dreams could have the same effect of flying Neither could your eyes cure my soul.

Murder For A Jar Of Red Rum 07:35
lyrics
Murder for a jar of red rum For the best time of his youth Take the burden of the proof And you, you cannot speak anymore Your pain is too deep to be told Can a moody baby doom a jam? I can feel, through your body, What you mean and what is weighing on your mind. Dear my murd., are you sure it is worth it? Did you feel new life streaming in your veins? You gotta believe In your heart’s relief Do you recognize my face? I don’t mean to say That I know your pain But I feel the weight of your soul in torment. Reclaim yourself Let’s start again To live, to love, to sing with me. [ Murder, for a jar of red rum. Red rum, sir, is murder. Dammit, I’m mad. Now I won. Won’t it now? Do geese see God? I prefer pi. ] I can see, behind your frizzy hair, An hall of mirrors mystifying your Ariadne’s thread Distance yourself, from the red rum, Shake it, drink it, let’s flow into the air. [Are you sure it is worth it? Rum...rum...I murmur. You’re double – faced, my heart murmur. Kill the murder and love, as if there was no tomorrow. Do geese see God? I prefer you! ]

Rions Noir 04:47
lyrics
Soon you'll raise your eyes to heaven And find out new stars, new horizons Soon grey clouds will disappear And the world will burn of pleasure. Where is the promised land? When can I meet your glance? I kown, You make my heart warm You're my unforgettable journey. The moon and the night They tell you stories you have never heard Joy you have never felt About passion sorrow and sadness.

about

Listen = Silent’ is the last work of Deep Black Sees, an Italian progressive rock band, hailing from the hilly heart of Sicily. Their debut album, ‘Inside Outside’ (Rising Records/PHD/Audioglobe), was produced by Sylvia Massy (Tool, SOAD) in California and received amazing feedback that attest to the band an “excellent debut” (Sonic Abuse, UK) and a “great future” (Rocktimes, D). After many gigs and tours all around Europe, the Deep Black Sees are back to their motherland, and work with Fabio Rizzo from Italian indie label 800A Records for the recording of this brand new EP. It will be released on the 1st of December 2014. As the EP’s title suggests, ‘Listen = Silent’ is the anagram of itself and it is part of the band attempt to cut their sound down to the bone and then recomposing it in order to give it back in a homogeneous way. ‘Listen = Silent’ flows through its 4 tracks under the vision of delays and arpeggiators. It is a palindrome sequence of impressions, reading it backward, keep identical meaning (take a look to the songs’ names). It is a flashback witch reaches its own climax only at the end.

* * ** *** ***** ********
“Listen=Silent” è l’ultima fatica dei Deep Black Sees, band siciliana che si cimenta in una modernizzazione del progressive rock e della sperimentazione sonora. Prodotto da Fabio Rizzo della siciliana 800A Records (Pan Del Diavolo, Waines, Fabrizio Cammarata) insieme con i DBS, e masterizzato in Austria da Hannes Jaeckl, l’EP in uscita il 1° Dicembre 2014. Come suggerisce il titolo del lavoro, “Listen=Silent” è l’anagramma di se stesso, e rientra nel tentativo della band di frammentare il proprio sound all’osso, per poi ricomporlo e renderlo omogeneo, riconoscibile. Sotto il pretesto di una visione dettata dal ritmo dei delay e degli arpeggiatori, “Listen=Silent” scorre attraverso le sue 4 tracce in un sequenza palindroma di impressioni che, lette al contrario, rimangono identiche così come I titoli dei brani. E' un flashback, e raggiunge la sua climax solo alla fine.
