Come Sleep

The Burden of Ballast – CD // DD

Version Studio Records – released November 12, 2007

Reviewed by Terry “The Ancient One” Cuyler

 

Hey tasters it’s Terry the Ancient One. When this album called The Burden of Ballast was dropped into my inbox and I was asked if I could have it done today I said sure. Ah but I was not told how difficult it was to learn about the band as there are few details about them readily available. But I am like Sherlock freakin’ Holmes. Formally known as Lingua, a rock band out of Stockholm, Sweden band members Misha-vocals//guitars, Thomas-guitar//vocals, Anders-bass, Patrik-drums formed Come Sleep as a way of addressing their darker thoughts that would not fit in the music of Lingua and released the Demo “The Skull of Ahab” as Come Sleep. Then in November 2007 Come Sleep released “The Burden of Ballast” on Version Studio Records.

The details about Come Sleep were scarce. I couldn’t even find the names of the members on the Encyclopedia Metallum (though I did find the lyrics) and had to start searching discogs. This added to the bands mystique. As I sat down listening to sweeping guitar leads and dark post metal melodies I kind of felt like I was delving into forbidden lore. My favorites from “The Burden of Ballast” are ‘To This Day; Not A Sound’ and ‘By The Unknown.’  We have kindly included the lyrics for the aforementioned 2 tracks.

While this album may be 10 years old it has a timeless sound and will make a great addition to any music collector’s library. You can buy both the digital download for a steal on Bandcamp at €6 EUR or more for the digital format and €8 EUR or more for the CD.  If you like band like Agalloch, The Flight Of Sleipnir, Torrens Conscientium, or Pink Floyd, and Atmospheric doom or post metal you WILL like this.

 

Song lyrics to my favorites…

To This Day; Not a Sound

eyes down, turning red

silhuette, locked up dead

can’t sail or run a ground

to this day; not a sound

turn!

  

‘By the Unknown’
under the waves

past the sky

beyond our sight

by the unknown

under the waves

past the sky

by the unknown

i will find..
