Aion by Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree

Although water seems permeable and supple, it can become vicious and brutal in an instant. As such, water is the perfect elemental theme for "Aion", the third album of German psychedelic doom contenders BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE. Lyrically, water is present on "Aion" both for its life-giving quality but also its darker and more ominous side. Musically, BEES MADE HONEY deliver spacious, dynamic compositions that move from drifting tranquility to raging power. A constant tidal movement of ebb and flow translates into spaced-out guitars, pounding bass-lines, and dripping drum-fills, crowned by echoing clean vocals. The album title derives from the Greek word ἀιών (aiṓn), which translates as 'eternity' and has come to denote 'ages' in the English word 'aeon'. BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE were founded in the German city of Stuttgart in 2014. With all four members having grown up together since childhood and coming from an academic background, the band had a clearly defined goal right from the start: to contrast crushing doom metal riffs with the spheric sounds of post- and psychedelic rock. BEES MADE HONEY laid down their musical template with the debut album "Medicine" in 2017, which provided the solid foundation of their ever-evolving sound. Their sophomore full-length "Grandmother" (2019) expanded the sonic horizon through lower tuning, densely layered effects, faster passages, and harder vocals. The Germans also started performing live at home and abroad to continuously growing audiences, which led to the recording and release of "Harvestmen (live)" in 2022. It is time to set sails and glide over the endless seas of time that BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE create on "Aion" for a glimpse of sparkling sonic stars and the beauty of eternity.

{Lyrics}

[Aion]

Tithe, giving freely away
Take, tomorrow surely comes
Size up the spoils
Taste, bitter lard on your lips

Seethe, not according to plan
Young, heedlessness has its price
Follow the hum
Lay, time to rest your tired hands
Lay, rest your hands

I, I am alone sifting through stones
Hey, what have you found?
Give it to me
Stones, stones everywhere
Scarce to the eye


[Divergence]

Lines bent out of shape
Aimlessly pushing on

Everything in its place
Raised them tussling


[Threatening]

Threatening a child in awe
Everyone has gone inside
Kneeling down toward
Stripping away the sheets
Every trace washed away


[Excavation]

Coming out through the door
Yellow rays
Behind the laithe

Echoing for a while
Hallowing
Behind the tome

In a lopsided mine
Damaging
Behind the seal


Your luck will turn around
Rain

Behind the gnashing teeth
Blame


Drill
Toss down
Fill up
Forget
Wallow

Turn the dial
Find the fault

Turn east
Uproot

Hold the line
Don’t let go


[Scouring the Land]

Catch a break, young traveler
Flailing around
As the chestnuts hit the ground
Scouring the land
Put my foot out, trip you up
Running too fast

Listen to the obvious
Disregard
In my dreams all animals
Talk to you
City limits, fading light
Wrong address


[Grey Wels]

Peering out
Perceive
Hail hits the water
Covering
In the deep
Grey wels
Bulge on the surface
Reach out

Untold anguish
Beating autumn ground
In the deep
Grey wels
Ring the broken bell
Reclaim


Listen to the water
Messing up the law
Feeling mightier than me

Catching the waves
Flexing the rope
Feeling far away

Storing the catch
Convince the judge
Every other case in there

Chirping everywhere
Wringing of hands
Sensing other lives

Carry the water
Breaching the trust
Every little thing in there

Touched by the blessing
Torching the place
It's an instrument


Dark
Night
Throw
Bait
Catch
Wels
Swallows
Rod
Leaves
