about

Second single from our upcoming ep "Infinite Patterns".

Review from Doomed & Stoned:
OCKRA’s Infinite Patterns unwraps on March 20th and you can pre-order it through Argonauta Records. Having given us a taste of the opening number, “In A Dream,” the band now brings us the evocative third track, “Ruins.”

It’s a bit tricky to draw a direct comparison between OCKRA and other acts. After all, it’s not often we hear a band attempt blending progressive rock with doom metal! Thus you’ll pick up on elements of Pallbearer, High Priest, and Wolf Blood in “Ruins,” but “In A Dream” catch rhythms more akin to the eccentric Mr. Bungle. The give-and-take contrast in vocal harmonies also reminds me of Worm Ouroboros.

A common denominator grounding all the songs on OCKRA’s new EP, however, is that the sound is quite moving. Be assured, this will elicit an emotional response. With that in mind, I think we’re ready to take this one out for a spin, don’t you?

lyrics

Lyrics:
We know nothing, you did know, did you know?
All vanish like a drop in the sea
Craving for eternity
All that remains will crumble away

To bloom, to flower and to die
Is the way of the world to be
But men´s spirit it´s not alike
The noon of expression signals the onset of night

Ruins as witness of time
Don´t you think this will be again?
The peak of achievements rings in the fall
A universal rule unbreakable and divine.

To bloom, to flower and to die
Is the way of the world to be
But with men´s spirit it´s not alike
The noon of expression signals the onset of night

Those who build
Seek to alter the universe
Let them play
Again and again again

Those who build
Seek to alter the universe
Let them bleed
Again and again again
