Schwer proggig, vertrackt und trotzdem noch anständig metallisch und mit eingängigen Hooks versehen. So klingt die neue REDEMPTION Auskopplung `Remember the Dawn`, die jetzt ein Video bekommen hat. Der beinahe neunminütige Song gehört zum “I Am The Storm“ Album, das am 17. März für alle Freunde des progressiven Metals ein wahres Fest sein dürfte.

Nicolas van Dyk erklärt zur Single:
„With out first two advance releases, we have emphasized the heavier side of Redemption and the economic melodic metal side of Redemption. We have a third side — longer form songs with roots in progressive rock as well as metal, delivered in a cinematic style. Remember the Dawn showcases this third side of Redemption, both musically and — thanks to Vikram’s video assembly — with the visuals of us performing the piece individually in-studio. The meaning of the song touches on a familiar theme with Redemption: live is full of challenges and rewards, of ugliness and beauty, of despair and hope.“

Lyrics:
Sprinting to the finish
Joyful smiles upon our faces
Never really thinking why the race is run
Remembering the moments
When music played and people laughed
Not reflecting on how they’ll all be undone

It’s not the finish but the road along the way
We should take notice of as day transforms to night transforms to day
(Don’t forget that time is fleeting)

Soaring through the heavens
Feet and heads above the clouds
Never thinking much about how hard we’ll land
Till we crash into the earth
And rise again disoriented
Wondering how much more of that we can stand

They matter not, the violent storms upon our seas
Rather, the cconnections that we make as we write histories
(That’s okay we’ll live another day)

Life gives, life takes
Every day must and and night will always fall
Our triumphs and mistakes
In the end won’t really matter much at all

I try to praise this mutilated world
Remembering days of bitter sunlight
Like any man who’s lost and lived
Death has a plan but it hasn’t worked out yet

Life gives, life takes
Every day must and and night will always fall
Our triumohs and mistakes
In the end won’t really matter much at all
