Forlorn 05:37
Don't go Don't leave me here, in this state of apathy For all that once was or might have been Once I felt the warmth of your lips Now I'm standing all alone while you'll be with someone else You'll see As I'm regretful now, you shall be, too For all that once was or might have been Once I felt the warmth of your lips Now I'm standing all alone while you'll be with someone else I stand here all alone I know you'll be with someoene else

Lying , quietly, on the floor Feeling the thorns like needles in the palms of my hands Why do I need your roses? Why do I need your precious letters of eternal love? I will get there Open air Lying, quietly, on the floor Feeling the thorns like needles in the palms of my hands What do I need your roses for? What do I need your letters for? Just take me out of here and drive far away I will get there Open air I never thought you could despise me Everything's so clear, still I refuse to see Now I'm with open arms at the edge of the cliff Just waiting for the wind to fly away Sitting quietly on the floor Drawing symbols with the blood from my hands What do I need your roses for? What do I need your letters for? Just take me out of here and drive far away I will get there Open air

The Light 05:02
Do you remember me When we ran like kids through those long halls? Do you remember me? You said our souls would be one forever Do you remember me? You healed all the wounds I had for years You showed me there was a light at the end of the world So guide me into your light I remember your eyes undressing my soul, unveiling my soul You said there was a light at the end of the world That you would be my guardian angel forever You told told me we would never be apart again How I would like to believe in you...

Lilith 05:11
I'm watching clearly your reflection on the mirror I feel scared to dance with you on your limbo Lilith, there's no joy in my mornings Only tears and confusion of mind Even the sun will shine no more Silent, I watch You spread your fear, then lay beneath the clouds Silent, I watch You cast your spell through the crowd And I watch you smiling And I watch You cast your spell on me

Rapture 06:21
To be a part of your smile To be a part of your heart To take away the pain from your heart Who knows, someday, I will understand you I'm looking at your soul I close my eyes to your twisted mind Who knows, someday, I might understand you For you, I burned down my sacred garden I drowned my hopes and dreams And everything that I believe in is all dust now How come I lose my pride so easily? And once again I close my eyes I don't mind letting myself go And feeling the joy when you laugh

about

A superb combination between technological artifacts and melodic song writing, augmented by spellbinding female vocals, somewhere between The Gathering, Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance.

AENIMA's debut, "Revolutions", caused quite an impression on both press and fans, who were unanimous in their praise when it came to live shows as well. The band have been compared in the past to the likes of Cocteau Twins, The Gathering, The Third and the Mortal, Faith and the Muse or Dead Can Dance, and now "Never Fragile" brings forth a sharper side of AENIMA, properly seasoned after outstanding live appearances in notorious international festivals such as the M'era Luna Festival, in Germany. Although they have hardly dropped the ethereal moods of their debut album, AENIMA have improved their recipe which bridges the gap between a clever use of technological artefacts and conventional rock compositions with a skilled use of melody, groove and ambience.

"Forlorn" opens in a mournful, dirge-like manner, and gradually climbs to its zenith, with the female vocals voice rising from lament to crystal clear soprano tones. Drums and bass provide an escort in her grievous march, clad with a veil of twinkling guitars and subtle keyboard undertones, as opposed to the heavier posture found in "At the Edge of a Cliff" with its hard, distorted, guitars.

"The Light", perhaps the disc's most easily memorable track, has been used as the closing track for the band's set at the M'era Luna performances and shows AENIMA's brighter face, with an approach that seems to draw some Pop sensitivities to their dark rock, which acquires a more introspective and melancholic tone again for "Lilith".
Last but not least, "Rapture" begins in a rather celestial mood, and leads AENIMA through a slightly more synthetic path to close up "Never Fragile".

This CDEP comes in full colour colour digipak, with varnished cover, and it is now sold out.
