The whole album is good (though I personally enjoyed Triangle more), but I really want to add my two cents and personal thoughts about the last song "Jhwh", just because I love it soo much: It's one of my favourite tracks of all time, but it definitely feels more like a prayer than a normal song. To me, this track really captures the ambivalence that many people (including myself) seem to have towards religion and spirituality: From a rational perspective, you have to think that either a) god does not exist (hence the lines "Deus est mortuus" or "Into my hands I command his spirits" - god does only exist because people believe in him) or b) it's a cruel god, which is exactly, what is described in the first part: The lyrical subject encounters it's creator, realizes his cruel, violent nature and turns away from him. The second part however represents the other side, the religious perspective: Regardless of what we know, realize and think with our brain, we as humans still have that deep irrational desire for spirituality: A desire for believing in a greater, eternal being which gives meaning to our life, a desire to obey to his will and even sacrifice yourself in order to gain spirituality and salvation - hence lines like "Omnia ad dei gloriam" , "Into his hand, I commend my spirit" or "Credo qui absurdum". Believing, although it doesn't make sense. It's contradictory. Hence the name of the album: "Contradiction" I'm not an expert when it comes to religious metaphors (I'm sure the lyrics contain A LOT of them), so maybe the band had something completely different in mind, when they wrote the song. But for me personally, this is what I feel while listening to this song. The heartbreaking guitar solo fading into to this simple yet sad and beautiful melody starting at 1:18:00 combined with the line "Into his hands I commend my spirit" - I don't know any song or any piece of art in general that can create this kind of emotion. So thank you Schammasch for this absolute masterpiece.
you're right it's amazing and I had similar thoughts,, also I felt like that, when I focused in the meaning of the last track I j was like wtf dude ? D: and I had the question.. wha about their (schammasch) thoughts in regards spirituality? haha
One of my all time favourite tracks and on par with 'Above The Stars of God'. Thank you for expressing your thoughts and feelings on this jewel - they echo mine entirely.
Please, read Mauro Biglino books. Jhwh (Jahweh, in ebrew does not exist vocals) it will open your mind to something different, and this song will sounds better (if possible!!) sorry for my english, i'm 50/50 drunk too. :P
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me.
So happy to discover this band this morning on 1st of April of 2024 ! 💥🔥⚡👍
