about

All is flux, nothing stays still.
This aspect is treated in "what lies beneath": The heaviness in the face of the only certainty of transformation and death, which we all – especially in modern times, but also since time immemorial – try to suppress with vanity to give our existence a raison d'être, resounds particularly in the song’s final exclamation "remember me". A memento mori.

lyrics

What other than dust are we?
Sole motes swirl in line,
Captured by the scythe
In the aurora of time.

While she, with her eternal face,
Witnesses the tides
Recede and grow
For all shall come and go

Companion!
What life brings your letter today?

Fatally bruised in no time
Fatally tainted with rot
The mirrors draped vainly in veils

No more than bare trees are we,
Weighed down by fleeting grace
«Tand Tand ist das
Gebild’ von Menschenhand»

Companion!
What life brings your letter today?

Fatally bruised in no time
Fatally tainted with rot
The mirrors draped vainly in veils.
Remember me.

about

In a heavy, somber and ethereal manner, wazzara weave elements of doom, post metal and blackgaze into dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes.

wazzara emerged 2015 from a themed solo project of Swiss singer and composer Barbara Brawand and over time evolved to a full band with additional band members George Necola (bass), Mäsi Stettler (guitar), Tom Kuzmic (guitar) and Deniz Lebovci (drums).
