Winter Nights: Bone-Crushing Melodic Death Metal….
Winter Nights – Winter Nights

Winter Nights offers Bone-Crushing Melodic Death Metal From New York City. The self-titled album comes after the 2014 release An Endless Apocalypse and brings with it, more dreary lyrics and melodic metal music. The album was recorded between 2015 and 2018 at Atomic Sound in Brooklyn, New York. When asked how they expect fans to respond to the new work, they respond:
«Well, very well. We’ve once again offered something different than our previous work. We are looking to conjure the feeling of dread, and remembrance. We hope they can relate to it in one way or another». The song When December Burns is according to the band about the idea of being taken over by an emotion, an entity if you will, disconnecting from society.
Cold like a stone
Rise to the unknown
I now drown in despair
When December burns
Locked in one’s mind
My state of being, denial
Drag me away with your toxin
This bliss lasts just for one moment
What’s left of this world?
Where’s your true purpose?
These flames seem to wait atop a hill
Breath to the wind
I’m built up with sin
What can you find beneath my ashes?
See hope in others’ eyes
This earth leaves nothing to thrive
Living beside the dead
Upon stacks of burial mounds
My skin starts to boil
The stench is too grim to bare
But now there’s no turning back
I will not perish in dissent
Cold like a stone
Rise to the unknown
I now drown in despair
When December burns
Where’s your god?
Where’s your faith when we all die the same?
The smoke now rises, the sky turns pale
This is my end, my farewell
Your life leaves nothing for me
Burn me again and again
I stand alone on this hill
Flames succumb all around
Black like coal
In the unknown
I now burn
In December
Vocalist / guitarist Jeremy Farfan elaborates about When December Burns,
«When this song was written it was meant to be a super-fast almost thrash death type of vibe. One rehearsal, lead guitarist Efrain busted out with a tapping lick that resonated through our studio. It was then we knew this song had to have a certain harmonic feeling. Taking the tempo down and accenting on the tapping lick, we built something new to us and what feels like the next step of the band. The idea behind this song is self-immolation (death by setting oneself on fire). Through the album, we explore various ways of offing yourself so to speak. It stems from a dream Lead singer Jeremy had where he climbed to the top of a tall hill, turned back to see the world burning, and decided to go out in flames as well. As usual, though, he wakes up right before he loses consciousness. He remembers to this day the burning feeling creating bliss».
