ABOUT TRACK
A lonely and black tower, half-hidden in the darkness, shrouded in an extremely gloomy, oppressive atmosphere... There is smoke, there is steam, and flames, and a scream, and a grinding sound in the darkness, and someone’s whisper; there is fire, and ice, and dead trees.At its base, the giant gate has a moat infested with king cobras; also, black crows and bats. There are demons and monsters, witches and sorcerers. Perhaps there is someone else in the tower itself, and the lights from the lit candlesticks are visible; from the tower, myriads of eyes look at the viewer... But the main magician and sorcerer did not choose his path himself – people forced him to do this, and the witcher uses his black magic for protection rather than for attack. He is an exile, a recluse, an outcast because his worldview does not coincide with the opinion of the majority; therefore, he snarls with caustic, bitter, caustic truth against universal injustice, coldness and callousness (unwittingly becoming bad and evil himself). He is driven into a corner, he opposes himself, his principles to the whole world, the System, and is very offended that society sees in him only flaws, vices, shortcomings, as if he has absolutely no qualities, virtues and talents. It was not for nothing that this unrecognized genius chose a tower as his stronghold: towers and caves are the lot of loners. The sorcerer's gaze is filled with revenge, hatred and malice – but at the same time – regret, pain, fatigue, sadness, melancholy, torment, suffering, remorse. But just as in “Yin and Yang” there is neither absolute evil nor absolute good, so the sorcerer hopes that one day he will be accepted for who he is, and the Lady he loves will reciprocate. Then the tower will turn into a beautiful castle, and the moat will become a marvelous, clean reservoir, and the cobras will turn into swans faithful to each other for life, and the crows will become swallows, and the bats will become kind fairies. And the trees will bloom, and all darkness around will dissipate.

ABOUT ALBUM
“The Shadowarden Of The Witchtower” is a 2024 music album composed and recorded by Lars Gert and in the thrash/death metal genre. The topics are mostly topical (with some exceptions). Powerful tracks are “7 Chapels Of Hell”, “Witch’s House”, “Hannibal The Cannibal” - this is his magnum opus, the ideas of which have been worked on for over 10 years. Other tracks on this long play have no less impressive riffing and complex structure. The composition “The Dream Of The Philosopher” is the only calm thing on this release. The composition “Lemmy The Motörbiker” is almost entirely made in d-beat, dedicated to Lemmy Kilmister and inspired by the work of “Motörhead”.

The Shadowarden Of The Witchtower

I made this track a bit heavier by replacing the keys and synths with distorted guitars. I sang it as it turned out, in one take, without preparation (I am not a professional vocalist).
For the 20th anniversary of the original. I really like that song and it's really cool.

LYRICS
Laura, Can't you give me some time?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.
Won't you just tell Cincinnati,
I'm gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your...Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your...
Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your. Freida, Can't you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
Won't you just tell Baby Daddy,
I'm gonna need his love.
Why don't you give me he love?
Why don't you give me he...Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love.
Don't you give me your. This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
(Tired of this sh**, Swear I'm going quit,
Can't seem to make enough dough,
But my cutting's on a roll,)
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared.
(Seen enough stuff, Thought I got rough,
Now I know it aint so, I gotta live my own!)

I am the blacker,
And little wrecker,
My lord, my master –

My face – corpse paint,
My faith course faint,
The call of dark

Never, never paradise
Ever, ever, ever dies
Sevendays pouring rain
Sevendays couring pain

(I) see an evergreen hell
Hear the mosquito yell
Feel, feel the wood smell
Near swamps I fell
Forest spell, jungle dell

Malaria, anemia, bacteria, pyrexia

If you survive
Walking dead alive
If you survive
Walking dead alive

Welcome to the forge of Fantasium, traveler!

The world around you is crumbling like old metal that has been bent, pulled, and tried to adapt to life on this masterfully designed planet for too long.
Everything that once seemed stable is now cracking, one after another.
But what if I told you that this is just the beginning? The beginning of your great journey?

Welcome to my forge of choice!

Nothing is accidental on this island, and your arrival here is no coincidence. Fantasium is watching you. I see your potential. Metal that is waiting to be cleansed of the layers of the past and forged into a meaningful and effective tool of the Creator.

Here, everyone who is ready for change acquires the tools to forge their new life. This is not a place for illusions or magic - here are the sound frequencies that shape the true you and your iron will.

There is already an understanding within you: in order to move forward, you need to free yourself from what no longer works. You are here to make a new choice.

A special process is taking place in my forge - transformation. Do not be afraid of this word. This process is clear and completely under your control. It is a natural continuation of your life's path.

* * * * *

New metal, new core, new life. Choose Again.

The composition "Choose Again" is not music for entertainment. These are your frequencies of transformation. They will sequentially launch 4 stages.

If you make the right choice, you will become aware of your fears, doubts and pains that deprive you of strength and joy in life. Like a jewelry cutter, the sound frequencies that you will carry within you will cut off what has long become an unbearable burden for you.
After which they will set the foundation for your new "I". This is not a mythical update, but a setting of your state carried out by intelligent forces, which is required for the effective performance of tasks in the new world.

Imagine that you are metal. Worn out, with cracks and corrosion, with an exhausted tensile strength, having lost its plasticity and former shine.
But if it is melted down, impurities are removed and tempered, in competent hands it will become a powerful and durable tool, ready for any tests.
The blacksmith of Fantasium is waiting for your decision.
The frequencies of the composition will prepare you for a new path, where you will no longer be a prisoner of a heavy burden and old mistakes.

* * * * *

The music of the track "Choose Again" is a sonic hammer, blacksmith's bellows and a sharp tool of a professional craftsman, which work in four stages to help you shed the old scales and forge a new core.

The first stage is the identification of shackles.
Just as the fire of a blacksmith cleans metal from impurities, the music of this part of the track reveals everything that hinders your new life. You will hear sharp sounds that shake you like hot metal ready to be processed. This stage allows you to see your chains that prevent you from breathing: these can be bad habits, difficult relationships, fears, or things that no longer give the desired result. You will see what exactly is pulling you back.

The second stage is preparation.
The music becomes softer, like a warm stream of air blowing over metal before hardening.
It prepares the material of your inner world for the next process. Just as metal is heated to make it pliable, so these sounds help to loosen old shackles, instill hope and confidence.
This is a moment of awareness: you will feel how the rhythm helps you focus on the main thing, gathering together the forces for transformation. The second stage is not destruction, but fine-tuning before the decisive step.
Like a snake preparing to shed its skin, you begin to feel that you no longer belong to the past.
