Sounds Like Murder

11th: Omen 03:44
I just watched you drift away It was easier this way Because we cracked each other's skulls And we broke each other's bones So I watch you drift away It’s much easier this way I just watched you slip away It was easier this way Because we crashed each other's dreams And we stepped on each other’s hearts So I watch you slip away It's much easier this way Danger, stop I was weighing on you You were weighing on me But still we slept together You take what's left inside And I’ll watch you waltz away I just watched you sway away It was easier this way Because we’ve made each other drown And we've made each other choke So I watch you sway away It's much easier this way Strangler, stop But we’ll break the cycle We're gonna break the cycle

Following 05:25
An eye In the sky Watches Your every move Vapour Whispers Murder The lover I’ll be there Like a stain I’ll be there Every day I’ll be there In the back of your mind I’ll be there Flashing red lights I’ll be there In between heartbeats I’ll be there Hiding in a synapse I’ll be there Itching on your back I’ll be there For you Wherever You might go I will Follow you I’ll be Following you
3.
The Seducer 03:13
He is a myth that you tend to believe in He is a mist that you wish to conceive in You can leave and go home if you want it But all you need to know is the reason Why Way out is here He’s all you wanna see All you wanna feel All you wanna be All you ever need But way out is here It’s gonna be a murder Murder You’ll get yourself murdered In this dark alley You stupid girl Murder Consider this a message A threat A warning Consider this a caution A warning A bane Consider this a menace An advice A bane
4.
Some places I’ll go Some places you show But I’ll never find home ‘cause you never feel hope Some places I’ll go Some places only I know Stop the earth Falling off my feet Stop the earth Until it bleeds Some places I called home And from some I was withdrawn This house is not my home It hurts, it burns, it aches But I won’t go Stop the earth Confront the sky Condemned myself To save your life We are going too fast We are going to crash The sky is moving faster And I don’t know why Starting tonight people will die Condemned myself for you to live Confronted death to plea for life Starting tonight people will die But I won’t do anything
5.
What do you say What do you have in mind ‘cause I can't bare Your mile-long stare What do you say I can't hear a word Your scream is too loud To make it right When you speak In high voice I don't listen I'm not listening Climbing the walls Like I have a choice All roads lead to fault So I'll go with a flow Whisper So I can hear Or be silent And disappear from here Whisper 'murder' Murderer whispers Don’t offer me money I’m taking the child And when we’re out of control Fighting And then we acting as whole Waving Climbing the walls All roads lead to fault Snap out Wake up
6.
Ropes 04:18
Water From the bottle Of the shining Glass Night Nor the first one And neither The last I’ve been waiting Here for too long And tonight I’m not getting home This place is strange This place is strange, right? This place is violent Who are these men? Their faces are blank What does this mean? Eyes are black holes Their faces are blank Their eyes are black It's coming to your house It's taking all your stuff It's out to get you Out to get you on the hanging Ropes They hang Ropes They wait
7.
Red Code 03:44
Be the one Instead of no one Or you better stop Be the one Instead of no one Or I will stop you Broken lantern holds the only sober light Frozen potion warms the stomach from inside Fear and horror Doom and sorrow False of honor It’s all been lies Faded rainbow spreads across the shattered skies Stale air floods my rusted smoke filled lungs Fear and horror Doom and sorrow Eyes are blinded With lies Red lights Step to the line I will fight this time Close to the hole Push the head inside Marks on the walls Don’t make any sense Bruise on the chest Doesn’t even hurt Red lights And lies
8.
Supercell 05:34
In a box In a shell But I will try to find the means for my escape Through the hole In the wall I will climb to see the light of day again And I know You will come As you always did a thousand times before Come And save me Come And bring me home Wake From this cold In a cell without walls Nothing keeps you here But you cannot leave This room It smells of death Your flame Smoulders out slowly No chains To break No windows To escape Hold on To your last hope It won’t Last for long This cold Takes you away I promise I’ll find a way (Don’t) fade out (Don’t) black out I will find a way Find a way
9.
These are the rats They are climbing the walls These are the rats, the thieves, the thugs, the murderers They are coming in packs, with knifes, with guns, with no regrets It’s not what they said It’s not what they did It’s not what happened It’s what you did to them Broken ribcage Fractured bones Further downstairs Hope is lost Keep thinking of places to wither away I can think of any so I’m here to stay Discouraged and widowed, not ever the same I’m going to lay here beside you and wait
10.
When there is no time When there is no life When there is no me Then there is no you When there is no space When there is no place When there is no you Then there is no me Hold my hand Tell me we’ll get through Tell me everything I wish I knew
11.
Like a caged rat I’m prisoner In a smoked room with no oxygen I am trapped You keep asking things I don’t know about Telling me the names I never heard before I don’t know There’s must be a mistake I’m telling you I’m not the one you’re looking for I’ve been framed You gotta let me go I’m begging you There is somewhere else I need to be They won’t wait I'll tell you everything I know I know But please don't ask me for my name My name
12.
Narcosis 03:46
Even if I say That I’m not who you say I don’t really know Who I was before I don’t know What with all this noise Why there is so much light It’s okay Either way I hate Waking up We brake each other bones It’s easier to sleep This way We are talking to the ghosts To keep us company Each night I can’t breath this way

There has been a murder!

"Sounds Like Murder’s essence as a whole thrives on diversity. And that alone is what makes itself such a standout record. With a product by a group that hardly anyone outside of their country has ever heard of, it will be a shock how an album like this wouldn’t get them further into the industry. If Ukraine had to have one band to help lead their heavy music scene, you’d sure as hell bet they would have to rely on an entity like Septa. And Sounds Like Murder is the key part of their resume." — HEAVY Music Magazine (heavymag.com.au/album-review-sounds-like-murder-septa)

"Music is very complex and has a lot of different sounding palettes, they've even did a straight up industrial song that is very Nine Inch Nails-esque, and the strange thing is how it all perfectly fits together. Imagine going from prog metal hysterics of Rats In The Walls to a dreamy piano of When There Is No Time through a nasty bass synths and menacing whispers of Means Motives & Opportunity back to a chaotic Narcosis with one of the most heartbroken chorus I've ever heard. Sounds Like Murder is insanely diverse, and what connects the dots and ties it in so good is the narration." — Sputnikmusic (www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79889/Septa-Sounds-Like-Murder)

"The full length boasts a wide range of sounds and styles, hitting the softer pop sensibilities of latter day Deftones just as proficiently as the more raucous moments of the band’s earlier efforts. One only needs to hit play on Red Code to admire the progressive leaning metal and gorgeously arranged mayhem also; the table drumming and soaring clean vocals on this one scream Tool just as loud as Alexisonfire. Tymchyk’s vocals really put the cherry on the cake while excelling in softer moments throughout Sounds Like Murder, pulling together all the elements of powerful metal while never relying on genre tropes or clichés. Narcosis and High Pitch Noise scratch that Glassjaw itch while The Seducer has no business being as infectiously catchy as it ends up." — Heavy Blog Is Heavy (heavyblogisheavy.com/2017/11/30/exclusive-premiere-septa-get-lynchian-redrum-video)

"Sounds Like Murder is essentially a culmination of everything the band has done to date. The record is boasting with post-hardcore drive and a bit of mathcore chaos, but dips its toes into various other styles without hesitation. The album’s frequent genre-bending could have come across as messy and forced if it weren’t so firmly rooted in the band’s core sound. Septa have expertly crafted a unique release that readily shows off its influences while avoiding a lot of genre conventions. With Sounds Like Murder, Septa have set the bar pretty high for themselves and it will be interesting to see what they do next." — Svbterranean (svbterranean.net/2016/12/08/review-septa-sounds-like-murder)

"The band has some core strengths, which become obvious after the first listen. The drummer is an absolute beast, setting the tone for most of the songs. I feel like he has the ability to play pretty much anything, since the technical prowess he displays here is very impressing. I also like the vocals on this album very much, since singer Eugene Tymchyk has a very wide vocal range. His cleans, grunts and screams all sound really well, which can’te be said off a lot of bands in this genre." — Totally Biased (totallybiased.be/2017/01/09/septa-sounds-like-murder)

"Septa have been around technically since 2006 and that decade of music making and talent really shows on Sounds Like Murder. The album overal is dark and haunting, heavy and progressive, and oozing with talent. It's nice to see a band that definitely falls in the realm of hardcore willing to experiment a bit. They aren't really afraid of the alt rock label that has been bestowed upon them and it works. Septa have crafted a varied and wonderful album that's just full of little moments that will keep you coming back for more." — Metalloud (www.media-dissection.com/metalloud/septa-sounds-like-murder)

"This album is just delightfully weird. It's not overtly avant-garde, and yet within its vaguely alternative shell there is something gestating that is not quite of this earth. I am amazed by how many genres get touched on over the course of this album, and sometimes within single songs. It is something I have not heard before, and previously thought could only be cooked up in the mind of Mike Patton." — Metal Trenches (metaltrenches.com/reviews/delightfully-weird-687)

«Этой работой Septa оставили позади многих коллег по городу проживания, сцене представления и амбициям поиска. После часа вдумчивого сконцентрированного прослушивания становится все очевидно. Эклектичная картина настоящего от четырех человек, которые не отступаются от намеченного курса хождения по мукам и радостям.» — Karabas Live (live.karabas.com/septa-kor-odessa-beret-zhivym)

«13 совершенно разных, абсолютно небанальных и порой всецело непредсказуемых треков, связанных общей концепцией, узнаваемым вокалом и прекрасной целостностью звучания. Путешествие жанровыми лабиринтами, квест на музыкальное восприятие длиной в 53 минуты. Sounds Like Murder убийственно удивит, немного взорвет сознание или утопит в хитросплетениях творческого полета фантазии. Во всяком случае, просто пройти мимо нового релиза одесситов – трудно и бессмысленно.» — Daily Metal (dailymetal.com.ua/review/1266-septa-sounds-like-murder)

«Песенные структуры в этот раз оказались более просчитанными и не такими размытыми, как на предыдущих релизах, поэтому большинство треков однозначно запомнятся меломанам, а также станут достойными бэнгерами на каждом концерте.» — Soundrate (soundrate.ru/news/detail/RECENZIYa__Septa_Sounds_Like_Murder_2016)
