about

Emotive post-punkers DAMOKLES returns with 2nd single "Downpour For Lifetimes", from their upcoming 2nd album "Swing, Pendulum, Swing".

Oslo-based Damokles released debut album "Nights Come Alive" last year 2022 on Vinter Records. The follow-up “Swing, Pendulum, Swing” is due out Oct. 6 2023, also on Vinter, and now single no. two from the upcoming album is out. "Downpour For Lifetimes" sees Damokles further mutating its sound. Thematically, the track touches upon the concept of inherited sins, and how these turns of events can create "interesting" and unforeseen consequences further down the generations.
A short sharp shock of weird punk rock that we dig doing live.

The single is accompanied with a music video directed by longtime artistic collaborator Kenneth Olaf Hjellum. Artwork: Gøran Karlsvik. Mix: Crystal Island Studio. Master: Alan Douches at West West Studio (The Promise Ring, Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, Chelsea Wolfe, Mastodon, etc.)
Damokles: Kristian Liljan, Ronny Flissundet, Gøran Karlsvik, Fredrik Ryberg, Jonatan Eikum.

lyrics

DOWNPOUR FOR LIFETIMES

We’re not looking in
From where we are
Weren’t even looking out
Stood, watched from afar

We weren’t looking in
From where we are
We weren’t looking out
Stood, watched from afar

Downpour for lifetimes
Sins inherited will grow
Downpour for lifetimes
Stood, watched from afar

There are silver linings
For you and for me
These are silver linings
For all of us
Now we pour our trust
Into self-reliant
Seemingly constant escapes

Downpour for lifetimes
Sins inherited will grow

Flaws and vices
In the open
Flesh and blood
Spent as tokens

Shook by shaking hands
Who are we even now
When our time is nigh
All cursed generations

All our bridges they must burn
Burn into ashes and dust

Who are we even now
When our time is nigh
All cursed generations
Shook by shaking hands
Who are we even now

about

Damokles image

Damokles Oslo, Norway

DAMOKLES, from Oslo, Norway, was founded late 2019, and has since its inception had a manic songwriting energy. Main inspirations stem from emotional 90s post-hardcore and related indie rock, mixed with dystopian 80s post-punk. Ferocious intensity, equal focus on toxic hooks and creative madness. DAMOKLES: Kristian Liljan, Ronny Flissundet, Gøran Karlsvik, Fredrik Ryberg, Jonatan Eikum. ... more
