Since 2021 the creative partnership of vocalist Tero Ruohonen (Autumnfall, Temple Of Kliffoth) and multi-instrumentalist Jussi Hänninen (Autumnfall, ex-Fall Of The Leafe) have been working together under the banner of The Bleak Picture, invoking immense doom/death arias of stunning beauty and overwhelming anguish.

With their 2021 debut EP, Songs Of Longing and last year’s momentous full length debut album, Meaningless, The Bleak Picture have begun to carve out a place for themselves in the souls of those destined to walk the hardest, darkest paths. Now they present their second album, a collection of songs that encompasses all they have been before and more. It is time to fall deeper into the illuminating dark…it is time to experience all the Shades Of Life.

LYRICS

Standing there
With no sunrise
To behold, mute are the lines

Mute are the lines
Without the I

Lost in dirt and concrete
A pile of letters stacked on the table
Caught in a fiery wheel
As These walls
These walls do not speak
Do not speak

Caught in a fiery wheel
Without the I

Was there ever a real
opportunity to obey?
Did anything anywhere
represent its true self?

The architect of treason
Lawless it wanders about
the I

Standing there without a sunrise
If only these walls could speak
Ease the mind
Laid to rest
the happiness of oneself
Repent, repeat
The wording of the letters
The dripping ink
Puts the fear of god in me
Puts the fear of god in me

Nullify the passing moments
The words stuck with me

Was there ever a chance?
A method to hold on to
With both hands?
Was there ever a chance?
Something worth holding on to?

Without the I
