„Memories Of A Dead Man“ is a story about a man, his past, the one who saved his life and an endless tragedy.
Sitting in jail, waiting for the death penality, the protagonist has only one place where he can seek for the truth: His Mind!
Who killed the light in his life? The allegations and judges are pointing the finger at him. Is this really the truth? Or has someone bent reality? Someone from his long gone past, but still so close?
You decide!
AeoS started to write „Memories Of A Dead Man“ back in 2008. It was the first song written by them and was released as „Memories Of A Dead Man - Part III“ on their first demo record in 2010.
Finally, after 8 years the band brought the story to an end and finished the three piece conceptional album. Influenced by movies like Memento, tragedys like Hamlet and progressive music from the last 3 decades as well as modern metal, AeoS brings this story to life and into your imagination.
lyrics
1. Intro (Instrumental)
2. The Visit Part I.
I know what you mean
With the walk into eternity
Now my friend, don’t be afraid
All will be gone, that’s what you said
I look into your eyes
You gave me hope, you said I’ll never die
My mind will be in your mind
It will be never gone
But gone is my Time
3. When The Thunder Caught You
NOW
The time has come
My victory is
DONE
I’m finished
You’ll never get to the
TRUTH
Remember
I was the man that you
SEARCHED
For your life and for
REVENGE
There are the gates of eternity
Lightning's flashing into me
This pain now is killing me
Something happened deep down in me
Strange pictures in front of me
There are memories from old scenes
I don’t understand what happened to me
Why? Why can nobody help me
NOW
You’re sitting there and
SHOUT
I feel no shame, I can not
BLEED
My hands are washed in
FREEDOM
When the thunder caught
YOU
Strange pictures in front of me
There are memories from old scenes
I don’t understand what happened to me
Why? Why can’t nobody help me
I was the man, I had paid for life
He was the man, I searched all the time
Time has come to say goodbye
I have my revenge, because I will die

WOW! One of these rousing progck-fusions of the young millenium created by unknown(?) uncanny skilled musicians. Here: Foremost Andy Didorenko, well trained violinist, also fine on (bass?-)guits & keys. OK, some "well-informed" speculations about musical genes: Mainly a less jazzy Mr Sirius' ’Dirge’ (esp. 'cause flute, ac.-guit & str.-sections), KC & D. Way's Wolf ’73/’74 and a little J. Tull ’77. OK, no voice to compete with Ian A., J. Wetton or Lisa Ohki. But a very fine & refreshing album! ROWIAL
i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
Experimental Heavy Prog Rock. There are a few parts of utter brilliance, especially 'Trivial Thing' with it's fade-out-fade-in sequence. Production quality is outstanding albeit the overly compressed master. HaMMiE
