Description
This is the second full length studio album by Burning Cities.
Stagnation is a step toward heavier sounds and darker lyrics without forgetting psychedelic and art-rock influences heard on earlier releases. The soundscape on Stagnation is more akin to a heavy rock album from the 70s or early 80s than a modern rock or metal album.
Thematically Stagnation is a journey into the darker depths of the human condition. It is not a happy album. Rather, it is an exploration and a reflection into the inner demons that we all have in one form or another. As well as stories of bleak existence in everyday life where days pass by unchanged and unnoticed. Still, it’s not meant to bring you into despair. Just a little uneasy at most.
