Stream or physical copy, get it here: https://www.sanity.berlin/en/unsere-musik-anhören Sanity is a Symphonic Metal Band from Berlin, Germany. Their latest EP Revelation is a concept album of the book of Revelation from the bible, a prophetic, dystopian book that vividly and explicitly describes the apocalypse. The EP features five majestic songs that take you through the terrible events depicted in that book. The compositions have their roots in black and death metal, but are enriched with massive arrangements of choirs and symphonic instruments. There is an abundance of lead guitars and melodic riffing, the songs feature low growling vocals, intense shouting and screaming but also beautiful clean vocals, from heroic viking chants to high-pitched power metal voices. The drumming ranges from fast-paced blasts with double bass drumming to intense progressive metal rhythms. Sanity was formed in 1994 in Berlin, Germany, by Philipp and Florian Weishaupt and released three full-length albums and an EP between 1998 and 2023.
Lyrics:
Bible, Revelation, Chapter 6, Verses 1-17
The Lamb opened the first seal, the creatures thundered, "Come!" A rider on a white horse, with crown and bow. Rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. The Lamb opened the next seal, the creature said, "Come!" A rider on a red horse, with a sword and power to take peace from earth and make men slay each other. The Lamb opened the third seal, the creature said, "Come!" A rider on a black horse with a pair of scales. "A quart of wheat for a day's pay and do not damage the oil and the wine!" The Lamb opened the fourth seal, the creature thundered, "Come!" Death on a pale horse, followed by Hades. With power to kill by sword, and famine and plague. and by the wild beasts of the earth. The fifth seal, the souls of the martyrs called out. "Oh Lord, how long, until, you judge the world and avenge our blood?" The sixth seal, a great earthquake, the sun turned black, the moon turned red, the stars fell from the sky. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks. They called to the mountains, "Fall on us and hide us from the face on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For their wrath has come and who can stand?" They called to the mountains, “Fall on us and hide us from the face on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For their wrath has come and who can stand?”
