Three years after their critically acclaimed debut ’The Will’ and almost a quarter of a century after their first endeavour together, RAPTURE’S doom death seminal landmark ’Futile’, guitarists Jarno Salomaa and Tomi Ullgrén (both of them also members of funeral doom legends SHAPE OF DESPAIR) are back with their haunting and otherworldly twin-guitar harmonies on the sophomore release of Counting Hours ’The Wishing Tomb’.
On yet another surprising expansion of their signature sound, the Finns continue building a set of colossal and unforgettable melodies using unnerving and gazing grooves as the backbone of their compositions, only to be intertwined with the emotional vocals of singer Ilpo Paasela (of THE CHANT fame), culminating in what will be one of the gloomiest yet, oddly enough, most memorable releases of the year. Nine songs of bleakness and hopeless melodies that will be stuck in your minds for the rest of your hopeless true masters of nordic melancholy are back!
Band would comment on this first single: ”Storywise there are glimpses of hope in this one. But only glimpses. It tells of a sort of transition from “normal“ existence to a place or phase with no time and a desire to be free in this kind of eternal limbo. Lyrically as an album opener “Timeless Ones“ sets a guideline for the whole album.”

LYRICS
Shine afar, the empty stars
The countless ones
With her I fall through all voids
Unsung, forlorn
Shine, the empty stars
The countless ones
With her I fall
Unsung, forlorn
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the lies are over now
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
The false days are nowhere now
With sore eyes
I dive into the thoughts, the timeless ones
With sore eyes
She dives into the thoughts, the timeless ones
And we saw the trail of stars...
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the lies are over now
The light in the dark
Unveils a death unfound
And the false days are nowhere now
Shine afar!
We’re the timeless ones
