Enterprise Earth’s “Where Dreams Are Broken” plunges the listener into an audacious, intense soundscape that is as brutal as it is meticulously crafted. The band’s tenacity for blending relentless deathcore rhythms with an eerie, almost theatrical expansiveness shines through in this track, creating a distinct sense of dread and awe.
From the onset, the song grips with unyielding aggression—guitars churn and drums pummel in a furious cadence. Yet, there’s an underlying sophistication in the chaos. The technical prowess displayed by the guitarists offers a slew of intricate riffs that weave through the punishing blast beats, showcasing not only speed but also precision and creativity. This complexity ensures that the track is not merely an onslaught but a carefully structured narrative of intensity.
Vocally, “Where Dreams Are Broken” features a performance that is both visceral and varied. The guttural lows and piercing highs communicate despair and ferocity, effectively conveying the song’s thematic darkness. The lyrical content, exploring themes of disillusionment and inner turmoil, adds a layer of emotional gravity to the track, engaging the listener not just sonically but also intellectually.
Moreover, the production quality of the song deserves commendation. Every element, from the oppressive breakdowns to the subtle atmospheric layers, is polished and balanced, allowing for a listening experience that is both overwhelming and clear.
In sum, “Where Dreams Are Broken” stands as a testament to Enterprise Earth’s ability to craft music that is as thought-provoking as it is heavy. It’s a track that doesn’t just demand attention—it commands it, making it a standout piece in the landscape of extreme metal.
Lyrics
Brace yourself
I've lost everyone and everything I have nothing left to lose
Betrayed by the closest to me
All i've ever wanted was a place to call home
All I've ever gotten was a desolate place to roam
I've held my tongue for too long
This is what I thought I deserved
Hold the flame beneath the nerve
Let it burn
I've held my tongue for too long
This is what I thought I deserved
Hold the flame beneath the nerve
Let it burn
I may be broken but it's not too late to take a stand
Words left unspoken are left in my mind where dreams are broken
Ravaged by hatred
Rip out the human heart
Squeeze it in your palm and tear it apart
I may be broken but it’s not too late to take a stand
I may be broken but it’s not too late
I am broken
This world has fucked me up
No one here can bring me back
Broken
This world has fucked me up
No one here can bring me back
No one can bring me back
No one can bring me
Can bring me back
I may be broken but it's not too late to take..
I may be broken but it’s not too late to take a stand
Words left unspoken are left in my mind where dreams are broken
I will not let my dreams be broken
I will not let my dreams be broken
Ravaged by hatred
Rip out the human heart
Squeeze it in your palm and tear it apart
