Track 3 of the new album "Humananke", out for My Kingdom Music

On the path of my life I walk alone
ivory hair flow in the whispering cold wind
“betrayer, murderer 
may your name be cursed   
forevermore”

Weak and frail so weak and fragile  -   Against my will 
why have I been chosen to restore  -  I’m the Eternal Champion   
balance on Earth?  -  the balance between Law and Chaos     

Deadly Stormbringer 
forged in the depths of Chaos    
renew my strength  -  scream your chant
my blood, my soul melted with your steel  -  my blood, my soul, your steel
will claim revenge  -  will claim revenge

“Then the dark truth dawned on his clearing brain and he moaned in grief, like an animal. He had slain the girl he loved. The runesword fell from his grasp, stained by Cymoril’s lifeblood, and clattered unheeded down the stairs. Sobbing now, Elric dropped beside the dead girl and lifted her in his arms.
'Cymoril,' he moaned, his whole body throbbing. 'Cymoril - I have slain you” 
(“The dreaming city”, Michael Moorcock)


Betrayer, forevermore
Betrayer, forevermore


Deadly Stormbringer 
slayer of those I
loved
you claimed their souls   
my will gives up
so high was the price to pay   
there won’t be peace in death  

Condemned to eternal suffering
your soul torn and lacerated
I was a thousand times more evil than thou

The Eternal Champion

Unstably balanced on the edge of nowhere, fading to black
trapped between two worlds

Far away  -  an endless pain devours my heart
vivid memories of my  -  whispering images creep in my mind
past life  haunt 
 my dreams
away


Far beyond this horizon is where my destiny lies
bare glimmer of hope drown in a sea of lies
I’m a stranger to myself, lost and alone

And then a moment comes when you realize that the memories of the pure and sweet days of your past life you’ve kept so tenderly in your heart have become a burden, growing heavier day by day.
From that very moment you understand the actual meaning of the word “solitude”

In the middle of nowhere I stumble through dark shadows
drawn by my mind, dragging me down  -  on the verge of the falling, lost.
I don’t want to remember, I can’t forget 

What I have left behind of me  -   what is left along
cries out my name, drives me insane  -  the path drives me insane
memories of olden days  -  cries out my name
in a whisper fade away to black
while I close my eyes


The Edge Of Nowhere w/ Kobi Fahri (Orphaned Land), Mike Lepond (Symphony X)

"I'm Still Here"
Artist: Bent Knee
Producer: Elijah Kang
Engineers: Elijah Kang and Lauren Grubb
Mix Engineer: Elijah Kang

Note:

This is one of three more low key/acoustic tracks I produced/engineered for Bent Knee recently.

This is a haunting song about family member in a coma.  The band really brings this claustrophobic image to sonic reality and expands upon the vision throughout the course of the song.  After being so close to the song for such a long time, I still can't shake the images that were initially conjured up in my mind the first time I heard it performed.  Bent Knee really has a knack for painting vivid pictures and nailing them to your psyche.  However, this makes working on their material so much more enjoyable and immersive.

Find out more about the band at their website: www.bentkneemusic.com

Enjoy the track.

Bent Knee - I'm Still Here

GNOP - Anghel

The brain and heart, two essential parts humanity cannot do without if we are to survive. ANHURA have taken this concept and extended it in their music, further exploring the marriage of thoughts and feelings. Inventing music not extremely based on theory but on feelings, experimentation/improvisation and experience. 

Through this vision, their music transcends boundaries and limitations, everything seems possible. Makes absolute sense since music is infinite and boundless. ANHURA’s music is a journey, and to where the destination will be is to each his/her own. Their music takes you on a ride and while your eyes are closed, your limitation will only be your own imagination. It’s a fusion of the diverse emotions that we, ourselves, embodied our lives with. The bliss and madness, the love and suffering, the rise and fall, the beauty and chaos—equilibrium. 

The name ANHURA based on the band's research comes from the Aramaic term that means "light" or "lunar light". They chose this name mainly because their songs reflect a certain aura, that of one’s search for the elusive light and its true meaning in life. The philosophy in general is that we are always in search for something in our life that would make us feel significant in this world. The vital something that would make us complete and fulfilled. ANHURA tends to express, address and manifest this through the music they create. The sound in general dwells but not limited to a mix of classical, folk, progressive built on a rock backbone. The vocal lines are powerful, ethereal and melodic with full of emotions complementing the message and the music itself. 

Listen, be a fragment and take flight.

Description:
We are a bunch of fun loving musicians, who have a zest for life and its atrocities... we like seeing things on both sides, good-bad, black-white, happy-sad, light=darkness, beautiful-ugly ....for 'tis the only way that we obtain balance.
