Such a beautiful piece Brian, a pleasure to listen to you….

Fantastic piece! I was soothed by the beautiful tones.

“If No One” is a Rock/Pop-Ballad. Gently played in the verses with piano and viola and in contrast a colossal chorus with gospel choir and a fulminant guitar solo at the end of the song.

Our first released song with English lyrics.
The song is an appeal for humanity and compassion in times that seem harder.

If No One

This song is part of an entirely metal project (10/10/2024)!🔥😉

Lyrics:

Out of electronic dance
Beyond the cyber terrain
A web of bits and bytes 
The critics' sharp face
Are they inventive 
Is there a spark in their sound
Can they really grasp what
Emotion has unwound

Can they really grasp what 
Emotion has unwound

Can Beating Edge do Metal 
With power and with might
Can they replicate the fire and the light
Can five unknown Italians unleash the inner beast

Or will the spark be lost
Never to be increased

All the beats were coded 
The tunes were made to play
A flawless simulation 
Where all is in the digital sway
But can they grasp the fury 
The rage and the strain
The fierce devotion 
Flowing 
Like a runaway train

Can Beating Edge do Metal 
With power and with might
Can they replicate the fire and the light
Can five unknown Italians unleash the inner beast

Or will the spark be lost
Never to be increased

Never to be increased

Can Beating Edge do Metal 
With power and with might
Can they replicate the fire and the light
Can five unknown Italians unleash the inner beast       

Yes we can do Metal 
With power and with might
We have inside of us the fire and the light
We are made of flesh and bones 
We unleash our inner beast

Our spark is not lost
Forever it'll be increased

The edge of metal

Almost Cut My Hair [08.05.24]

Mastering: A7 Recording Studio
Written by Cavebar while sitting on the balcony loving the geranium glow.
Guitar: Taylor 150e 12-string

Lyrics:
Thanks for this sunshine day,
Thanks for the joy that comes our way,
The summer’s near, the blossoms here,
What on the planet have we got to fear now?
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

It’s such an easy sell,
The cooling breezes treat us well,
The summer’s near, the greens appear,
What on the planet have we got to fear now?
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

It’s such a simple thing,
Sure as the season moves from Spring,
We’ve got some plans, we’re in good hands,
Thinkin’ ‘bout visitin’ some beautiful lands now,
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

Instrum. +
Doo-doot-doo, doo-doot-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

It’s such a simple thing,
Sure as the season moves from Spring,
We’ve got some plans, we’re in good hands,
Thinkin’ ‘bout visiting some beautiful lands now,
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

Written about my favourite area to visit.

Lyrics:
Blue-green infinity, the holy trinity: water, shoreline and sky
Poseidon slumbering, fear not encumbering, water, shoreline and sky
There was enlightenment and pure proportion, 
Channeled through the golden mean.
The perfect pieces of the past lie broken,
Waiting in a timeless dream. Aegean aquamarine.

It doesn’t matter if the world is stalling 
It doesn’t matter if it’s all appalling 
It doesn’t matter if the sky is falling
When the aquamarine is calling.
 
Invasion history, asleep in mystery, hidden in the evening calm,
The water covering, no tale discovering, hidden in the evening calm.
The sun retreating from its aerial throne, lifting off its golden crown,
Apollo, Helios and Phoebus descend, easing their chariot down,
Into the aquamarine.  Instrum.

Blue-green infinity, the holy trinity: water, shoreline and sky
Poseidon slumbering, fear not encumbering, water, shoreline and sky
Aegean aquamarine.

It doesn’t matter if the world is stalling 
It doesn’t matter if it’s all appalling 
It doesn’t matter if the sky is falling
When the aquamarine is calling.    Instrum.

Lyrics:
stop motion seems like it's haunted
seems right but feels like it's daunting 
vacations not what I wanted
I don't need to get away
the distance is dawning 
this moment is raw yet two sided
I'm blue but a abiding
because hiding inside is so
very exciting

arise
seven more days till the sky
reddens and covers the light
don't cover your eyes
or sto in the cupboard for they know you hide now
the harder it is the longer you bide time
holding the line
thing in the ruins with muscular vines
twining testicular grapes up the spine
of those who would try
to save us from evil when evils a
I said evils alive
from evil when evils a
I said evils alive

Happy Not Hateful

Written by/ Guitars/ Bass/ Drums/ Keys/ Mix& Production : Me!
Lyrics & Vocals : Mauro Elias
Mastered by Marvin@Tidestudio

Lyrics:

Once we cherished the earth now it crumbles to dust
Deaf to the voices of the fallen we’ve lost
We sold our souls to demons and crushed those who defied
In the name of progress we chase the next lie

Screens divide hearts collide 
but never face to face, its all a lie
Fingers point while roots decay 
no one cares or mind

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We feel like gods yet hollow inside
Built empires of ego where the truth used to thrive
The forest burn the rivers run dry
But we’re too far gone to see what we have done

Empathy’s signed demise 
what have we become? who we are?

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
It's all a lie
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
Shattered reflection

Something About That Name

Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.
