about

Vorbid explore existentialism wrapped in their modern take on melodic progressive trash-metal with their new track Derealization.

Musically, the track draws towards the well-known thrash image Vorbid is known for, but also brings strong elements from prog rock with a powerful melodic chorus.

The band states;
“In Derealization the track’s character finds himself stuck on repeat.
He’s lived through these events before.
Is this a form of catatonic sleep or self-inflicted psychosis?
In his anguished desperation, the character tries to put together the pieces of the puzzle that is his own reality.”

lyrics

Daylight journeys
across the ocean
Shadows constrained
by the hillside's conceal
Postcard slideshow in
Locomotion
To the sound of axles
And a strange sense of déjà vu
Out of breath
Out of time
Present tense
Out of sight
Out of mind
Through the lens
Atmosphere as if taken from a forgotten photograph
Get the sense that I'm acting on a strangers behalf
Blood flows to my head as I try to walk
What is this dimension I've unlocked?
Out of breath
Out of time
Present tense
Out of sight
Out of mind
Through the lens
Have I been locked away?
Is this the light of day?
Am I to blame for my derealization?
Have I ever been this cold?
Have I been locked away?
Is this the light of day?
Am I to blame for my derealization?
Have I ever been this cold?
