Lyrics by: Tiago Alano

Beyond pleasures of mortal flesh
The darkest nightmare ever dreamed
A ritual of opium and absinth
Brings the nymph in a necromantic scene

Signs of the lustful fairy
Greens that blind my eyes
Feel the heat so scary
The winged nymph now flies

Snares of your mind
Worwood is what you taste
Lovers left behind
Kissing on death's embrace

Poets die in fever (In pain)
Lovers are deceivers (In vain)
Now they share the same old pain
Scenes...

Absinth Scenes
They're sharing a morbid passion
Love Affairs
Little death under my skin
Absinth Scenes
Opium is the new old fashion
Love Affairs
Daydreams of a loving sin

Images are going higher
A nymph with open hands
Rising of unknown desire
A passion that never ends

Poets die in fever 
Lovers are deceivers 
Now they share the same old pain

Absinth Scenes
They're sharing a morbid passion
Love Affairs
Little death under my skin
Absinth Scenes
Opium is the new old fashion
Love Affairs
Daydreams of a loving sin

An imaginary inspiration
Oh naked Venus of mine
With grief and desolation 
I feel her touch one last time

Love all the scenes
That you may share with us
Live all the sins
That you may bury with us

Absinth scenes
Love Affairs...
A nymph now stares
At absinth love affairs

Absinth Scenes
They're sharing a morbid passion
Love Affairs
Little death under my skin
Absinth Scenes
Opium is the new old fashion
Love Affairs
Daydreams of a loving sin

No more romance...

Spleenful - 03 - Absinthe Love Affairs

Music by Lucas Cabral; Lyrics taken from the "The Giaour", by Lord Byron.

Lyrics:

Give me the pleasure with the pain,
So would I live and love again.
I grieve, but not, my holy guide!
For him who dies, but her who died;
She sleeps beneath the wandering wave-
Ah! had she but an earthly grave,
This breaking heart and throbbing head
Should seek and share her narrow bed

Spleenful - 01 - Beneath The Wandering Wave

BITTERSWEET
(Music by Tiago Alano, Lucas Cabral and Bianca Giovanella; Lyrics by Tiago Alano)

Le Spleen de Paris
Le confiteor de l’artiste
Falling into the abyss
Icarus with no bliss
"The smoke and the ash
The lady that never rest
Bitter taste of joy
In a morbid ploy"

In a sweet-scented garden
A promise for afterlife
Fate has now blinded them
Rotten hearts may rive

"The Red-Lipped Guest"
A corpse beneath my chest

"Kiss her lips
So bittersweet"
Treasures and pleasures
Beyond the grave
"A tear rips
To bite the treat"
Treasures and pleasures
Of unconscious rave

Dark nails over him
Masquerade with lust within
"Sweeter than this life
Are lips that mesmerize"

For Lydia I shall crawl
For Lilith I shall fall
"Seduction overall"
Hope for the dawn

"Underneath her chest"
Dead heart of the guest

"Kiss her lips
So bittersweet"
Treasures and pleasures
Beyond the grave
"A tear rips
To bite the treat"
Treasures and pleasures
Of unconscious rave

Vulgar vixen
Blood strain
Poshlost banality
Self-satisfied vulgarity

"On the eve of the unborn kiss
No romance granted to exist"

Thus conceived was eternal darkness
"To keep beauty pale lifeless"
Her red lips now feel the endless cold
"Radiant youth to forever hold"

BURLESKE LIEBESTRÄUM (CATHEXIS WICKED SERENADE)

Music by Tiago Alano, Lucas Cabral and Bianca Giovanella
Lyrics by Tiago Alano

Feel the anesthesia
“Leading you to torpor”
Caught in endless sleep
“Start the dreams of horror”

Desperate
Bohemian
“Hatred self inflicted”
Degenerate
Inmost fear
“Passion's full submitted”

Silent
Nightmares

Now they haunt my mind
"In despair and fear"
Silent cry
"Feverish desire"

"So lang du lieben kannst”
“So lang du lieben magst"
We wept on empty graves
Singing wicked SERENADES

Standing for the purge
“That men no longer live”
Their requiem is the dirge
“For those who are deceived”

Degenerate
Bitter fear
“Chorus for sublimation”
Desperate
Cathexis
“A crooner in temptation”

Scariest
Nightmares

Now they please my mind
"In despair and fear"
Pleasures die
"Uncontrolled desire"

"So lang du lieben kannst”
“So lang du lieben magst"
We wept on hollow phrases
Singing wicked SERENADES

Heaven has opened its gates

Oh my burlesque queen
Is not what it seems
Taste my blood
Passion hasted
Our dead souls
Forever interlaced

"A silver razor
Tears her eyes
His putrid mouth
Bites her heart"
Your corpse shall no more be dancing
...IN THE DEAD END
"It's over
You're dead now
Watching
Our higher fall"
Violating
...your beautiful corpse
...TONIGHT WE DREAM...


"Love!
For long you're able 
To love
For long as you like" 
The hour 
Will come 
When you 
Stand 
At gravesides 
And LAMENT

“Liebe, so lang du lieben kannst”

"Ensure that your heart glows
And fosters and nurtures Love
For long as another heart beats 
Warmly with love towards you"
I should love your corpse, my burlesque queen
I should stay in love with your milky pale skin

Feel the anesthesia
“Waking you from torpor”
Caught in a dreadful life
“Start the days of horror”

Degenerate
Bitter fear
“No more sublimation”
Desperate
Cathexis
Necrophilia my temptation

"So lang du lieben kannst”
“So lang du lieben magst"
We wept on hollow graves
Singing wicked SERENADES

So long as you can
So long as you may
You shall weep on their graves
Singing this wicked serenade
To hide your own cathexia
You shall be a slave of obscure arts
At the edge of the world
We mourn the lost of our broken hearts

A banda Spleenful foi formada em 2012 com a proposta de fazer um som totalmente diferenciado e livre de rótulos. Apesar de ser geralmente relacionado a gêneros como o Gothic e o Dark Metal, as influências também passam pelo Black, Death e até mesmo o Prog Metal. Sinfonias obscuras sob a perspectiva da poesia maldita, do oculto e de contos de horror: elementos que constituem o universo musical criado pela Spleenful.

No Halloween de 2013 a banda lançou seu EP de estreia, "Bittersweet", contendo 4 faixas que dão uma amostra da proposta trabalhada pelo grupo. Desde a primeira nota da introdução Byroniana batizada como "Beneath The Wandering Wave" até o discurso final da épica "Burleske Liebesträum (Cathexis Wicked Serenade)", retratando o drama psicótico de um crooner de cabaret, o ouvinte é levado em uma viagem sonora repleta de intervenções dramáticas. Em meio a isso ainda temos o conto vampírico da faixa-título e as alucinações poéticas retratadas no primeiro single da banda, "Absinthe Love Affairs".

O primeiro registro teve uma ótima recepção por parte da mídia e do público, recebendo ótimos reviews em sites como Silence Of Shadows (http://goo.gl/AOojSl), sendo mencionado nos melhores do ano de outras páginas (http://goo.gl/aCLf0B - http://goo.gl/UMT646), além de ter seu nome divulgando em sites internacionais ("poesia e Extreme Gothic Metal" - http://goo.gl/P3Hs4n), como o Metal Underground (http://goo.gl/yzSjWn). Além disso, a própria tecladista do Cradle Of Filth, Lindsay Schoolcraft, já se declarou publicamente fã da banda (http://goo.gl/3vWd8N).

Recentemente a banda teve a honra de dividir o palco com os portugueses do Moonspell, realizando a abertura do show em São Leopoldo/RS em 27 de setembro de 2015. Atualmente a banda está gravando um álbum e pretende lançar em breve o clipe do single "Winter Solstice Dream". 


Spleenful was formed in 2012 with the intention of create unique and unlabeled music. Despite being related to genres like Gothic and Dark Metal, the influences are also based on Black, Death and even Prog Metal. Obscure symphonies under the perpective of accursed literature, of the occult and horror tales: elements that build the musical universe of Spleenful.

On 2013's Halloween, the band released the debut EP entitled "Bittersweet", containing 4 tracks that gives a sample of the proposal crafted by the group. Since the first note of the Byronic intro named as "Beneath The Wandering Wave" until the final speech of the epic "Burleske Liebesträum (Cathexis Wicked Serenade)", describing the psychotic drama of a cabaret crooner, the listener is taken on a sonic journey full of dramatic interventions. In between, there's the vampiric tale of the title track and the poetic hallucinations portrayed in the band's first single, "Absinthe Love Affairs".

The band's first EP, entitled "Bittersweet", was realeased on October 31st and it's available for free download.
