Reborn

Battalion_Lion Olhava's music has become deeply familiar and personal to me. Their robust, emotion-driven walls of sound recreate the landscapes that inspired the music to begin with. However, "Reborn" is a facet of Olhava that is no longer ethereal and reverent. It is cynical, dismayed by humanity's crimes against the very world it calls home. The album concludes with the assurance that nature will persevere in the end, but whether or not it perseveres in the absence of humanity is for the listener to decide. Favorite track: Mirror.

Dave Aftandilian I love the paired reflections here; the darkness and light, rage and calm, despair and hope. From suffering and introspection come rebirth, in nature and ourselves. I am delighted Avantgarde has released a physical version, because MarGoat’s cover art is absolutely stunning. For me, the thought that nature will endure past humanity’s worst assaults makes this album a beautiful gift of hope in dark times.

Mirror 22:29
...твой голос мой не услышит никто смех не услышит звериный оскал кормящая рука осуждающий взгляд "никого не было ближе" но я всё ещё не виновен не виноват тишина рождает смерть вот бы жизнь одному прожить и умереть не зная воин чтоб не быть у совести в плену жить никому не причиняя боли пусть ветер прочь уносит чувств остатки дождь смоет всё водой я пустотой мечтал наполниться - я пуст здесь всё становится собой здесь всё становится тобой

Reborn I 18:00
блеск глаз гаснет под затихающий стук разбитых сердец никогда мои ноги не вспомнят дорогу домой в моём доме враги мы здесь одни и пусть любовь обречена на смерть я так хочу тебе сказать что я мечтал прожить с тобою жизнь и умереть теперь моя мечта сбылась

Reborn II 16:07
я верил что мои враги - друзья когда наступит время они придут сюда и встанут за моей спиной и станут для меня спасеньем я верил что земля одна она для всех едина но мы так долго и бессмысленно топтались что убив весь род земной мы здесь с тобой одни остались

about

Reborn explores yet another side of the relationship between man and nature. In a darker turn, the duo presents a more pessimistic and cautionary reflection on the environment in contrast to previous albums.

Reborn is a story about a man who forgot what brought him here. Who neglected a precious, parental, and primordial bond with nature; who unconsciously destroys the one and only home we all share, along with himself.

The irreversible damage we do to our environment will see mankind “beheaded”, whilst nature and life itself will thrive eternally.

We’d like to believe though that if we realised the value of that bond and embraced it, we’d be given a glimpse of hope in this fatalistic madness - a chance to be spared.

The cover art by MarGoat of exhausted Mother Nature ritualistically destroying and cleansing herself of humanity using human hands as her very own tools forces us to reflect on our significane. She is about to be Reborn in a new floral form.
