Warangelic Perfectly crafted melodic death/doom metal album that would make you wish that they are still around. Hopeful that we are getting more of this. Favorite track: Nowhere.

bmurator Melodic Doom / Death Metal from Russia! This is utterly amazing! The mix of clean & non vocals had (& still has) me hooked from the start. Plus the music & the melodies are simply beautiful! And it is their first album! Such an underrated band. I want more! Much more!! Highly recommended!!!

Kadotuksen Varjo Underrated Russian doom metal. With a hail to late 90s era Katatonia and Daylight Dies, Human Collapse's 2014 debut hits it high in the best doom metal albums for me. Deep lyrics and a fine combination of harsh and clean vocals paired up with atmospheric music make this album worth a listen to any doom metal fan. Favorite track: Deep.
Rot Teufel

Rot Teufel In those last years more and more indipendent bands show us a polished production and mature sound. A smart and essential way to mix doom and death metal sound, that increase the ethereal atmosphere of the whole album. Melodic lines and heavier riff often works together without overpower each others. That's made "Darkness to Fall" a solid debut performace album to listen again, again and again. Favorite track: Sunlight.

Nowhere 06:52
When you lose direction When everything falls out of reach When the path you're following Drops down into abyss See your hopes Smothered See your dreams Drown in the nothingness Struggle to break the chokehold This crushing grip on your sanity Succumbing to the apathy The fight you're doomed to lose The mirror is the enemy The traitor's underneath your skin There's no point in moving - whatever step you take, you fall You could just stop breathing - there won't be any difference at all The echo of your heartbeat has died off long ago There is nothing here - just the pain of being you Choke on the emptiness That's hammered down your throat Panic is devouring The remnants of your soul Death would be a blessing But will it ever come? Where is the end? When will it stop? See your hopes Smothered See your dreams Drown in the nothingness

Sunlight 07:22
Walls of bile obscuring sun Stretch from horizon To invisible stars In the darkness above The exhausted earth There was never any warmth in this air There was never any color to this sky In the painful embrace of the wind We cast our gaze to the dawn that doesn't come In the painful embrace of the wind We turn our gaze to the darkness behind our eyes Overwhelming mass of dull greyness looms over our heads Extinguishing hope in anyone who dares to take a glance At the leaden sky before the faint trace Of sunlight In the cold we perceive the warmth of our blood Through the cold we walk towards the sunrise of our mind Red is the sky which we cannot yet see Soft is the breeze that doesn't reach our skin But i still know it is there I still know it is there...

The road takes me through the piles of gold Empty shadows of a beauty once lost The wind is playing with locks of dead hair Bare-headed corpses stretch their arms in the air I walk through solemn scenery of decay A landscape painted only one shade of gray The air is touched by a cool gentle breeze A kiss to remind you that soon you will freeze But then i see the endless blue sea over my head Islands of white clouds drifting across For a while it seems that the perfect moment is there A fine point where the scales are in balance But the next second it becomes clear That it's just the last stop on the way To a final destination... The storm is coming To tear this peaceful sky The air will be ripped by thundering roar The earth shall tremble, and heavens fall Onslaught of the water and rage of the wind Will break down and tear the weakened limbs And while the horizon is quiet and clear I sense the attack is coming near So cherish these last few moments of calm Before all is lost to a merciless storm I bathe in the fading rays of sunlight The farewell smile I dream that these lips will touch my cheek One more time I remember the joy Of feeling the tender touch on my skin When the days were longer It's tempting to think they will return To warm our hearts again But the air is cold

Deep 13:20
Falling through the stars Drifting through the aether I forget my face and my name Velvet dark embrace Emptiness so rich Embrace of the hollowness I drown in its soft caress Carry me, the unseen river Through the interstellar void Towards the sweet oblivion Non-being i crave to enjoy The memories fade and disappear Traces of self wiped from the cortex In a whirlwind of colours Drawn to a bright shining vortex A drink of the water From this sacred current Heals all my wounds and my woes I will soon become As one with the cosmos My mind will dissolve In the transcendental light Waiting for eternal rest I raise my hand to reach the sun And brace my tired mind and soul For radiance that soon will come Hold me tight Clean my heart Swallow me Make me whole Shivers crawling up my spine Gentle touch of light divine Bliss is running through my veins Here forever i remain I am pulled back by the unseen cord It drags me through the world of hurt Deliverance was within my reach I'm back to my torment, there's no relief
6.
Waiting for the darkness to fall We dream Fighting for the hopeless cause We sing On our way down the one-way road We dance Charmed by the delusion we missed The last chance The world is mesmerized by reassuring lies We lull ourselves to sleep Smiling faces with ropes around their necks We laugh but never weep Burning through the days we never stop and never care Rushing to demise in pointless race that no-one wins We drink and celebrate and hope this feast will never end Pretending to ignore the shivering touch of decay But in the dark we feel the winter breath There's no escape from the cold embrace Night will fall Crush our feeble hopes Storm will break Sweep away the walls Scream or pray Demise awaits us all
