The revolution ost

Gracchus' 3rd song in 3 months, "Epitaph", is a heavy, groovy track that draws inspiration from the futility of war and it's lost soldiers, to talk about failed expectations. Sometimes, things aren't always as they seem.

Epitaph

AMERICAN DREAM

Gracchus is a 3-piece progressive metal band made up of Bernhard Schnellmann (vocals and rhythm guitar), Allan Murphy (drums), and Jeff Elrose (lead guitar). Having the most interesting and unique long distance relationship being based in the US and Switzerland, the band is meticulously disciplined to the craft of musicianship while maintaining their human touch, combining the dark with the vulnerable, the serious with the playful, and the heavy with the emotional. 
 
The darkness of life has always been inspiring Gracchus’ works. The band describes their music as pictures of “muted colors with occasional bright lightning strikes,” creating a shelter for those who feel irrelevant and solitary to process emotions and unbearable times through their songs.

After releasing their debut album 'Murder Party' in 2019, Gracchus was thrust into the limelight with international touring, covered by renowned rock magazine Metal Hammer, and honorably chosen as the German Rock Hard’s “Recommendation of the Month.” Since 'Murder Party,' the band has been featured on multiple Apple Music and Spotify hard rock and metal playlists. While the Covid pandemic put a halt to their touring, the band's trajectory accelerated when the band adopted virtual recording sessions and monthly releases. This has led to what is upcoming; their proudest body of work to date.

Upcoming songs, due out in Fall of 2022, "Facelift," "Envidia," and "Misaligned" were written and recorded by the three band members in complete DIY, engineered by Andri Urfer, who has worked with the band since their start, and mastered by Svante Forsbäck, who is known for his work for Rammstein, Volbeat and Apocalyptica.

Timeline:
26 AUG: Facelift

Envidia

I wrote this song about my origins and the reckless lifestyle I lived before getting sober. I currently have 303 days sober!

DEATHWISH

the Mountain Goats - Up the Wolves (live at City Winery 2)

Lyrics:

Echoes from the sky

[Verse] 1
Shadows hum where the steel birds fly 
Shahed whispers
 A vulture’s cry 
Wings of fire Tearing the sky

[Chorus]
 Drones Shahed 
Missiles Kinzhal 
Kalibr screams 
A deadly call 
Porteurs de mort 
They take it all 
The sky weeps 
The earth will fall

[Verse 2] 
Smoke and silence 
The ground it shakes 
Dreams dissolve as the morning breaks 
Ashes fall The heart it aches

[Prechorus] 
Who decides 
Who holds the string 
When did angels lose their wings

[Chorus]
Drones Shahed 
Missiles Kinzhal 
Kalibr screams 
A deadly call
 Porteurs de mort 
They take it all 
The sky weeps 
The earth will fall

[Bridge] 
Iron vultures 
Prophets of pain 
Echoes linger 
A metal rain 
Who will count the cost again

Echoes from the sky
