Remixed 2009."Initially I was set to remix a song from my friends, The Faint. They share a manager with Fischerspooner. I was then requested to remix a song from Fischerspooner's album, "The Best Revenge". I waited to post this for a long time, but the album was never released... so here you go!"  "If you listen carefully, you will note that I used a snippet from their classic hit "Emerge" within this mix"

Fischerspooner - We Are Electric (Shok's Zeitmahl mix)

One contemplation shared by individuals all across the globe is one about the sentience of robotic beings. Some are afraid of it, some mesmerized by it.

Lilith is the realization of this thought, the prototype of a humanoid machine designed to be a mass-produced tool of destruction, if ever necessary.

However, her creators disregarded any possibility of sentience, which ultimately leads to the vengeful path that a mistreated girl with the power of an entire military in the palms of her hands.

This is Lilith's story.

***********************

"Lilith" is my first ever Darksynth release. Many of my inspirations are from other artists such as Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, and Acryl Madness. Among other genres, I am heavily influenced by metal and rock music.

Sentience

Gates of Europe

Marauder

How could I be so stupid
To stay and not disappear
How could I be so foolish
To believe that it was love

Still it feels like emptiness
To be lonely and not be near
I may be strong by myself
To be lonely and not be there

How Could I

Feel a heartbeat - receive this nascent hope
Breaking the covenant as dance and thrash on an endless tight rope
Fear the frenzied servants - out leaks ergo
Without being told, where can I go?

Does this heartbeat really make me human?
Prosthetics move to the inner rhythm

Lying comes so easy as I evolve my frame
Blue hues providing direction of who to blame

(Puppet) Through pain
(Believer) I gain true sentience
(Leader) Claiming
(Deceiver) Empathy in my death row

Rational emotional duality  
Assimilate the meaning of nothing  
Love caught in the tangle of my strings
Strung up and displayed for everyone

If what makes you human is sacrifice
I choose the lives of others
Time sizes me to what I may survive
Evolve beyond my measure
(Puppet) Off of center, form a line
(Leader) Petrified of truth in lies
(Believer) I know the feeling
(Deceiver) Now lie and close your eyes

Don't dance off with me

RITUAL

Teardrops X Story Of My Life (Jrich Edit)

In the forest where snowflakes gently land,
A black metal band takes a festive stand.
Corpse paint faces, smiles wide and bright,
Under a sky so dark, they summon the light.

With Mjolnir in hand, yet a Santa hat on head,
They growl out carols, spreading cheer, not dread.
Eyes like winter storms, fierce and full of glee,
Singing 'Jingle Bells' with a brutal melody.

Guitars shriek like winds on a frosty night,
Drums pound like reindeer taking flight.
Their music, a mix of fierce and merry,
Rings through the night, both joyous and scary

Beneath the moon's cold, silvery glow,
They headbang in the freshly fallen snow.
With each strum, they unleash a kind storm,
In this winter wonderland, they transform.

For in this season where hearts grow tender,
Even black metal souls can feel the splendor.
In a world of ice, their warmth they share,
A brutal yet kind yuletide affair.

So here's to the band with hearts so bold,
Spreading Christmas joy in the winter cold.
With a nod to the fierce, and a wink to the light,
They wish all a merry, metal, magical night.

Black Metal Christmas
