Lute FP Continuing where Vol 1 left off, fusing 70s doomy riffs with mellow blues rock. The sound is so complete and so delicately delivered you almost don’t notice how heavy the Pentagram-like riffs are. This is sublime music.

Bucky Vol. 2 carries on where Vol. 1 began by completely burning down what was left of the barn of bad ass psychedelic blues. Prepare to be incinerated by sublime groove and intoxicating aura. Favorite track: Light of Ancient Times.

I will bring the night Before you see you’re all inside Just like the descent of the Holy Ghost There’s no hope for tomorrows Tears that pretend There’s a way out of the end Just like the dreams of the deceiver Take you out of the cold river I will bring the night I will bring the night Suddenly falling all inside Just like told in the scriptures Blinding eyes of the creatures Remember what you’ve heard Your life’s better afterwards Just like taught by the demons Is there a way out of the ignorance? In the nightmare I will drown my fears In the nightmare I will crawl on my tears Beyond the times I will never get back Beyond the times I will never get down (Leads: Payan, Serra, Payan, Serra) I will bring the night Before you see you’re all inside Just like the descent of the Holy Ghost There’s no hope for tomorrows Tears that pretend There’s a way out of the end Just like the dreams of the deceiver Take you out of the cold river In the nightmare I will drown my fears In the nightmare I will crawl on my tears Beyond the times I will never get back Beyond the times I will never get down I will bring the night I will bring the dark

The Run 06:42
Sitting on the edge of the world Thinking about everything I let the time disappear Creeping enemy I only know my fear Escaping from my own trap Leaving behind everything The time is about to lie Not ready to fight I only know its bite I’ve got to run Between every moments I see The time is burnt As the image I wanna be I’ve got to run Between every moments I see I don’t wait my turn As the image I try to be Perfect future is obscure This past is selling my cure Everything is getting frozen Contrary motions I only remain in place I’ve got to run Between every moments I see The time is burnt As the image I wanna be I’ve got to run Between every moments I see I don’t wait my turn As the image I try to be (Leads: Payan, Serra) I’ve got to run Between every moments I see The time is burnt As the image I wanna be I’ve got to run Between every moments I see I don’t wait my turn As the image I try to be

Gravity fails Switched the sun and the rain Like the planet stopped again Carry your way Between the lies and the blames All in all, no one's the same, yeah And I wonder What's in your mind It's a start, a brand new day What's in your mind? Didn't you wait for something to change? That was your right In the end nobody cares For what's in your mind (Lead: Serra) Night and days Everything's fading away Opened eyes, but closing gates Ask me where When, or who, I don't care All I know, I lost my ways And I wonder What's in your mind It's a start, a brand new day What's in your mind? Didn't you wait for something to change? That was your right In the end nobody cares For what's in your mind (Lead: Payan)

I walk alone through my regrets Don’t have time to think I’m alive or dead So I try to get off this mess Between my fails I climb to save my head I wanna know Tell me how to leave My spirit gets old I’m losing my infancy There’s no way to end it Don’t see an easy road At least I could try No, they won’t bring me down Perhaps you can save me You may hear my prayers At least I have tried No, they won’t bring me down I am alone with my grim thoughts Beyond these twisted times, I call your name You closed my eyes and took my hand Whispering the words that have no end I wanna know Tell me how to grow My spirit’s full of nonsense I’m losing my innocence There’s no way to end it Don’t see an easy road At least I could try No, they won’t bring me down Perhaps you can save me You may hear my prayers At least I have tried No, they won’t bring me down (Lead: Payan) There’s no way to end it Don’t see an easy road At least I could try No, they won’t bring me down Perhaps you can save me You may hear my prayers At least I have tried No, they won’t bring me down

The Wake 07:17
I've been misleading My thoughts into quarantine The fears I believed in Became the rules I follow here The demons I'm hearing Their voices are guiding My mind into sleep and I can not escape the dream I'm in The witches are laughing The preachers are burning The damns are collapsing Implosion is near, the end begins Am I crying or bleeding? My wounds I've been feeding No roots could be growing Into a ground made out of fire I'll never wake Frozen to the bones I cannot move anymore I'll have to wait So long 'till the dawn I'm joining the moon in her fall I have to wake (Leads: Payan, Serra, Payan, Serra, Payan) The senses I've been loosing The sins I've been keeping My body's now failing All through night, I crawl my way The tears keep on flowing My faults keep on drifting My sheers are now drowning The ship is creeping with no sight I'll never wake Frozen to the bones I cannot move anymore I'll have to wait So long 'till the dawn I'm joining the moon in her fall I have to wake

(Lead: Payan) I have seen the light Coming through the time Carrying the angel All my falling tears have been heard But the time has flowed and now you’re hurt I have touched the light Embraced the fire Blown by the angel All my deep hopes have been fulfilled But the time has flowed and now you leave Lost in the darkness Sleeping with my nightmares I thought I didn’t belong I’ve been waiting for so long Time passes so fast Days end ’till the last The light has now come The thing I want to become Lost in the darkness Sleeping with my nightmares I thought I didn’t belong I’ve been waiting for so long Time passes so fast Days end ’till the last The light is now gone Such things have never been done This is a way to my nightmare Where my light is now gone It’s like breathing some dead air My dreams were real, now I’m alone (Lead: Payan) (Lead: Serra) I have seen the light Leaving beyond the night Where is my angel? All my falling tears have been heard But the time has flowed, and cannot be reversed Lost in the darkness Sleeping with my nightmares I thought I didn’t belong I’ve been waiting for so long Time passes so fast Days end ’till the last The light has now come The thing I want to become Lost in the darkness Sleeping with my nightmares I thought I didn’t belong I’ve been waiting for so long Time passes so fast Days end ’till the last The light is now gone Such things have never been done This is a way to my nightmare Where my light is now gone It’s like breathing some dead air My dreams were real, now I’m alone (Leads: Payan/Serra)

about

The French band Thus Live Humans is back with "Light of Ancient Times". This album, split in two volumes, conveys to a journey between nightmares and hopes for a new light to shine.
TLH pursues the works that began in 2019 with "Duality" by using old-school hard rock and heavy blues as basis, drifting towards doom and stoner rock at moments. This new album also offers some excursions in jazz, medieval and Eastern music. As the result of this melting, "Light of Ancient Times" includes raging riffs with plenty of fuzz and overdrive, mighty lead guitar duels, grooving drums, and finally, powerful but nonetheless melodic vocals.

Album reviews:

"Wet swampy blues passages coexist with more Pink Floyd-esque passages in contrast with mountains of fuzz and overdrive brimming with power. 'Light of Ancient Times' is an album that digests well, and that contains dark Sabbath moments and a final track, in which along 15 minutes they offer us their best version as a band, essential."

Roberto Lucas - Denpafuzz

"Such a work like this that’s able to bring together just enough from several different styles is something that demands to be heard for all that it manages to bring to the table and not bungle in the overall execution which is something that Thus Live Humans should absolutely be proud of. The saga of 'Light of Ancient Times' is one filled with many twists and turns with all sorts of different sounds and inspirations from all over the spectrum of music, and I don’t think there could’ve been any more proper of an end to the two-parter than what we’ve been gifted here."
