XIII -The Innocent Scythe- Front Cover

Lyric

Blue Flame

The ObsidiaN

Never let the flame burn out

Since your flame has died out

I spend my days

With an empty mind

Longing for parallel worlds

I scared in a dark cave

I forgot where to go

Downhearted

Out of breath

零れ落ちた 雫が

蒼炎に触れ

漆黒の 闇を照らした

The flame inside you was beautiful

It was blue flame, with a quiet flicker

It was full of hope, never giving up until the end

Since your flame has died out

I spend my days

With an empty mind

Longing for parallel worlds

In the bright cave

I remembered

Where I should go

Keep moving forward

The flame inside you was beautiful

It was blue flame, with a quiet flicker

It was full of hope, never giving up until the end

運命に抗う 貴方の心に

確かに 静かに

燃えていた

決して 絶えることのない

灼熱の蒼炎

負の連鎖を 思考を

断ち切れ 焼き払え

A powerful flame dwells inside me

Burn with a blue flame

風前之灯。

震える声で伝える

瞼の裏に残る

あの情景

蒼みががった空に

雲は列を成し

秋の向こうへと

溶けていく

忘れない。

蒼炎

顔も

声も

想いも

The flame inside you was beautiful

It was blue flame, with a quiet flicker

It was full of hope, never giving up until the end

最期に 貴方と交わした

あの言葉 永遠に

僕の糧となって 心で 燃え続ける

灼熱の蒼炎

Remained

Innocent

The ObsidiaN 2nd EP

"XIII -The Innocent Scythe-"

After two and a half years, Gifu-based The ObsidiaN returns with their highly anticipated second EP, "XIII -The Innocent Scythe-"

Rooted in the spirit of Gifu's pristine rivers and the raw energy born from its landscape, this release embodies what The ObsidiaN calls **"Seiryu Core"**- a sound deeply connected to their hometown, yet constantly evolving beyond its boundaries.

On this EP, post-rock, hardcore, and metalcore collide and transform into something uniquely The ObsidiaN. Atmospheric textures and dynamic shifts meet uncompromising aggression, crushing heaviness, and emotional intensity.

Rather than simply blending these genres together, The ObsidiaN breaks them down and rebuilds them through their own perspective, creating a sound that is both familiar and entirely new.

It is a significant departure from their previous work - a reflection of everything the band has experienced, changed, and carried forward over the past two and a half years.

The EP features the previously released singles "Everlasting Will" and "Blue Flame", alongside newly written material.
Including the opening SE, the release consists of six tracks, designed to unfold as one continuous story.

At the heart of the EP lies the number "XIII".

In Tarot, XIII represents "Death" - not simply physical death, but endings, transformation, release, and rebirth. It is the moment when one chapter closes, making room for something new to emerge.

Birth.
Growth.
Love.
Loss.
Struggle.
Decay.
And, ultimately, transformation.

"XIII -The Innocent Scythe-" portrays the cycle of human existence through six tracks, tracing the fragile and violent journey of a life from beginning to end - and beyond.

The scythe does not merely symbolize destruction.
It cuts away what must end, clearing the path for what comes next.

After two and a half years of silence, The ObsidiaN emerges transformed.

From the clear streams of Gifu, a new wave of intensity begins to flow.

This is not the end.

It is a record of transformation.
A soundtrack for those who continue to change.
A new beginning born from the end.

The ObsidiaN - XIII -The Innocent Scythe-

Six tracks. One story. One transformation.
