  I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - According To Plan
Download   |   Stream

A lifetime of nightfall and foggy moonlight, with a dose of thunder and lightning, pain and pleasure. IYLBICD is more sadness than joy, with Christian Goyer's lonely lyrics and hauntingly echoed guitar persuaded by Edward Robert's chorused basslines. The sound is coaxing and familiar, Ernest Salaz's textured guitar melodies alternately subtle and entrancing; then howling and anguished. The five-piece echoes past ages and foretells the future. Powerful layers rip through the silence, bonding strength and longing with the weight of a sigh. Their records throb and gristle through Tim White's pulsating beats that insist on movement.. Mixing lulling instrumentals with epic storytelling, ILYBICD breaks out of any genre-specific molds. They're not trendy or futile. Chosen Darkness? sound is a testament to our times, our revolutions, and our meaning. It's timeless, maniacal, and resounding. Darkness and truth.
