Our Take

DEPRESSIVE AGE's album "Symbols for the Blue Times" is like a rollercoaster ride through the depths of melancholy. From the haunting vocals to the powerful instrumentation, this album is a journey into the darkest corners of the human soul.

The opening track, "The Small Size of Colour" sets the tone for the album with its brooding atmosphere and introspective lyrics. As the album continues, tracks like "White Horses" and "Neptune Roars" showcase the band's ability to create dynamic, emotive music that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

One standout aspect of "Symbols for the Blue Times" is the band's fearless experimentation with different musical styles. From the industrial influences on "Autumn Times" to the prog-rock elements on "Starres," DEPRESSIVE AGE seamlessly blends genres to create a truly unique sound.

Overall, "Symbols for the Blue Times" is a bold and ambitious album that showcases DEPRESSIVE AGE's talent and creativity. With its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a must-listen for fans of dark, atmospheric music. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the depths of despair with DEPRESSIVE AGE.

About the artist

Depressive Age

Depressive Age: The Dark Lords of German Thrash If you thought German thrash metal was all about beer, bratwurst, and banging your head, then you clearly haven't listened to Depressive Age. Hailing from the Ruhr Valley, this brooding quartet have been churning out some of the darkest, most cerebral metal to come out of Deutschland since the early '90s. Formed in 1989, Depressive Age have carved out a niche for themselves with their unique blend of thrash, progressive, and a touch of gothic sensibility. Frontman Jan Lubitzki's haunting vocals soar over the band's intricate guitar work and thunderous rhythms, creating a sonic landscape that is as introspective as it is crushing. With thought-provoking lyrics that touch on themes of existentialism, psychology, and the human condition, Depressive Age are not your typical beer-and-blast-beats thrash metal band. They're more likely to have you questioning the nature of reality than headbanging with reckless abandon (although there's certainly plenty of headbanging to be had). Their latest album, "Symbols for the Blue Times," is a brooding masterpiece that explores the darker corners of the mind with a level of introspection that is rare in the metal world. From the haunting opener "Hologram" to the epic closer "Pure Joy of Life," Depressive Age take listeners on a journey through the depths of despair and emerge with a renewed sense of catharsis. So if you're looking for a metal band that's as likely to make you think as it is to make your neck ache, look no further than Depressive Age. In a genre that often prizes aggression over introspection, these German metal maestros are a breath of fresh air.
