29 (feat. Bexxo)

With Sunbane’s crunching sonics and stark, industrial influences, Monstratrum is the heaviest track of the mixtape. Lyrically, it supports the Carl Jung supposition that evil strikes down the heart of every man and woman.

It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster; and each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster’s body, so that for better or worse he must accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost. Having a dark suspicion of these grim possibilities, man turns a blind eye to the shadow-side of human nature. Blindly he strives against the salutary dogma of original sin, which is yet so prodigiously true. Yes, he even hesitates to admit the conflict of which he is so painfully aware – Carl Jung

Anima

Monstratum (feat. Sunbane)

Represented by the alchemical symbol of silver. Lunatorc delves into the mysteries of the moon and its spiritually powerful interpretations of creative growth, reflection and renewal.

‘Torc’ is conveyed through a triple entendre; to mean talk as a noun for speech, torc as a band of twisted metal worn by the Celts of the Iron Age, and torque as a force that tends to cause rotation. The thrice theme is commonly associated with the triple moon Goddess.

Instinct introduces the sombre content behind Agiris' character. The track talks of mundanity and feelings of pessimism at the thought of being unable to view your future self in a state of self-actualization and accomplishment; two common themes throughout the album.

Instinct (feat. Sunbane)

Represented by the symbol of Saturn. This is an atmospheric track in which Agiris recites the instructions to an incantation and uses witchcraft as a metaphor for delving into the deepest parts of your mind and eventually finding autonomy and freedom in the face of your own insanity.

Incantation

B'bye is about mourning for the death of your own childhood and accepting the responsibilities of adulthood.

B'bye (feat. Jonatan Bäckelie)

Agents of Noir, the introductory track, explores the character of Agiris' tenebrous soul and establishes the darkness of the Anima project.

Agents of Noir

∂єσяυм αя¢тα (Narrow Gods) takes a moment to talk about Agiris' opinions of God and religion in conversation form to the backdrop of eerie, ethereal music.

Having somewhat defended religion in a poem he wrote called iDulls, ∂єσяυм αя¢тα balances out the perspective on religion by discussing its nature for biased thought.
