SPHERES - Underworld (audio)

Paris' SPHERES have an invitation to a spiritual journey and dystopian dimension with the release of their new single "Underworld". This is the first feast of new music since releasing their 2022 sophomore album "Helios". The new track, recorded and mixed by Chris Edrich (Devin Townsend, Tesseract, Leprous), is a preview of their third full-length "Shadows of Despair," set for release in October 2025.
Just like the world we live in, SPHERES' sound is becoming increasingly extreme, and their new song "Underworld" asks the question: can we evolve without destroying ourselves? We don't need to save the planet. The Earth has undergone several mass extinctions and will remain alive until our star, the sun, dies out. Humanity is less certain.
With "Underworld," listeners will be struck by the multitude of contrasts and textures that inhabit SPHERES' music: From sharp riffs to ethereal melodies, from clean singing to growls and screams, the atmosphere oscillates between dream and frenzy. Everything is designed to push the listener’s boundaries and invite them to take part in this expedition.

LYRICS :

What we are doing to the world's forests
Is nothing more than a mirror
Of what we are doing to ourselves
A thought that we should have had before

No one really asked why
Thick smoke darkened the sky
Destroyed ancient forest lands
we still washed our hands
Dead fish upon the shore
we never cared for more
The water has turned a dirty grey
By the people as it goes along its way

Chaos reigns, the world ablaze
Skies darken, the end of days
Burnt cities, rivers run red
As we face the imminence of a fucking dread
Born dead

What we are doing to the world's forests
Is nothing more than a mirror
Of what we are doing to ourselves
A thought that we should have had before

In the ashes of Eden
The price we have to pay !
The world we knew fades away
Far from the path of reason
The skies have turned black,
The oceans rot
Nature is wrath, our own plot
And now , we walk a blood-stained path
What we are doing to the world's forests
Is nothing more than a mirror
Of what we are doing to ourselves
A thought that we should have had before

What we are doing to the world's forests
Is nothing more than a mirror
Of what we are doing to ourselves
A thought that we should have had before
