Sometimes an album is more than music. It’s a doorway into another world. “We Should Be Buried Like This” by BLOODRED HOURGLAS opens that door wide, inviting you to step through. You don’t need any prior knowledge of the band; all that matters is letting the music guide you and carry you along its path.
You wander down a forest trail after a rainstorm. The air smells of wet earth and smoky wood, and every footstep resonates like your own heartbeat. From the very first notes, “The Crown Is Permanent” fills you with power and resolve. It whispers that even when the world feels like it’s collapsing, you can stand tall. The guitars pulse like a living energy, and the drums strike like the rhythm of determination coursing through your veins.
Gradually, the music softens, and “Royally Done” wraps around you like a gentle shaft of sunlight piercing the canopy. It’s a quiet moment in the storm, a reminder that letting your emotions breathe is not weakness. Sadness, hope, and vulnerability are given their space, and you feel the warmth of being fully alive in that space.
Then “Mirage” appears, subtle and mysterious, guiding you to look inward. The notes reflect your doubts and desires back to you, but not in a harsh way… rather, they feel like mirrors hidden among the trees, showing parts of yourself you hadn’t noticed, waiting to be recognized. You realize that this journey is as much within you as it is in the music.
The album flows onward, rivers merging into a surging torrent of sound. When “Shun The Limelight” erupts, it lifts you high, filling you with raw energy and the need to declare that you are alive, that you feel, that you endure. The guitars swirl around you, the drums echo like footsteps on stone, and the vocals cut straight to your heart. Then the calm of “God Has Favourites” arrives, letting you breathe, savoring beauty even in the harshest moments, showing that sorrow and intensity are part of the same story, inseparable and meaningful.
Every moment holds small, enchanting details: a rhythm that feels like a second heartbeat, a voice that whispers comfort, a melody that lets you drift into dreams. Each track lights different corners of the journey, like lanterns scattered through a forest, guiding you deeper. You move through bursts of energy and stretches of silence, and each time you close your eyes, the experience becomes more vivid, more intimate, more yours.
The album paints a world where light and darkness coexist, where power and stillness alternate, and you feel like a participant in something vast and alive. Strength, determination, sorrow, tenderness, all of it combines into an experience that is impossible to ignore. Every listen reveals new sparks that illuminate the night, drawing you back again and again.
“We Should Be Buried Like This” is a fairy tale that lives inside you. A journey through shadow and light, through intensity and calm, rich with images, textures, and feelings that leave you at the end with the sense that you’ve witnessed something deeply real. Each note, each movement, each pause seems designed to carry you through its world, lift you high, and leave you longing to return, to experience it again in all its richness, each time anew, each time with intensity.
