You look through me like glass As I stand before you nude Urtica Your sting nestles Like thorns around my neck Enough Is enough Enough of your hurt This ends here You choke the life out of me You cannot escape the eyes of the world Without your guidance everything falls apart A chorus with no song A beat without a heart

I thought I'd finally found you But you weren't really there You were merely a shadow An apparition I've journeyed the same old roads Retracing the loneliest paths To search for your heart of gold A mystery never to be solved For El Dorado I can still see your soul dancing Like flames against the moonlight Guiding me into the unknown You see right through me Through my heart of glass But you can't see the shards Of a mirror in the dark When will you see my face Smiling in portrait Framed above your fireplace The colour of the paint The beauty and the weight Brushed into your memory El Dorado, El Dorado When will I find you?

Throw your arms outwards Throw your weight on me Yearning now for your grace Yearning for some sense Throw your arms outwards Throw yourself on me Yearning now for your grace Yearning for this embrace Throw your arms outwards Grow yourself elastic

Manchester, UK based blackened post-rock collective AGVIRRE present their second and final record. _ _ _ _ _ _ expands upon their debut Silence, musically and thematically, pushing further into stream of consciousness and existentialist writing methods as their lengthy compositions wander dreamily through a non-linear melting pot of different genre influences. From post-rock through to black metal, surf rock into shoegaze, Britpop to ambient drone; Agvirre present a challenging deconstruction of metal and rock music's blueprints into something akin to wandering through an art gallery within a dream, or perhaps a nightmare.

Whilst Silence was a harrowing and unflinching exploration of living with mental illness on a personal level, _ _ _ _ _ _ looks at how our struggles with mental health affect us in a wider social context; magnified through the overwhelming lens of pandemic times, lockdowns, isolation, political unrest, social division and the horrors of police brutality and systematic racism. Agvirre embody the sound of anxiety, chaos and disorder whilst never relenting the search for hope and a brighter tomorrow.

Captured by Joe Clayton (Pijn, Leeched) at No Studio, Manchester and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna), _ _ _ _ _ _ sees Agvirre expanding on the possibilities of combining rock instrumentation with electronics, spoken word samples and even collaborating with a brass ensemble to defy the pigeonholes of genre.
