Recording and composition process happened between January of 2022 and October of 2023 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. All instruments, compositions and lyrics by Raoni Martins, except lyrics for track 11 which is a collab with Lucas Ajúr. Front Cover's drawing art and design beautifully done by Emilia Oliveira. Inlay and back cover's art by Raoni Martins. 

   The new work from Draven Project showcases a sound that tries to bring a good balance between the influences around the band. The last album's style is more developed here. It's a blend of Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. The album is called Cybertronic Dissonance and it contains thirteen tracks. It is divided into two acts. Act I is called The Raven's Nest, which is written and based on real situations and memories. It's about the life journey and trespassing through many issues while trying to be alive and make ends meet. Lyrics are filled with energy and rage against the past years facing music business and life. Every song on Act I is a moment of intense truth. Act II is called The Evil Flock. It's a set of 6 poems written to be songs. Music inspired by the works of Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jim Morrison.  
   
   There is a cyberpunk vibe running throughout the album, like a soundtrack from a dystopic world. The use of synthesizers and keyboards grew more and more on each album. Billy Idol, Depeche Mode and Ministry are for sure references for this release as well. Venus Highway goes right between Idol and Joy Division's sound with symphonic synth rock touches and doses of Brazilian music.

The raven figure on the album is a reference to the graphic novel and movie series The Crow. Therefore, it follows the concept of a raven being the holder of the heart and soul of someone while this person deals with revenging a great loss. The whole album is ambiented in the way the raven is standing on the shoulder of the main character, following his steps. There are many references to the famous black bird on the album. Act I is called The Raven's Nest because it means a relation to being born and alive into this world and having to learn to fly by fear of falling down and ceasing to live. This fear gets the bird into the majestic skill of flying, so it can fly over the land and face the world. While Act II is called The Evil Flock because it relates to the bird in a mature life, corrupted by the evil of the world while struggling to survive every single day.

This is the latest in the Texas Tea series called 'Firstly'.  It's something I was working on and I got to a point where I felt it needed a kick.  So I said hmmm, self do you know anyone that plays killer synth and that might be open to adding something cool to this?  And of course I did.  Terry was kind enough to throw something together with short notice and I think it's great. 

The idea is the song is like drifting down a river but the river is not water it's the blood of innocent kittens - no it's not, it's not, relax. just seeing who reads all this,   it's a psychedelic river and as you float all these different sounds appear. It's a busy song but it is intentionally, so take your ADD meds and put on some headphones and see what happens !

-Verse 1-
Each day, 6 PM, the job is done
You’re now released from the daily vile pain
Time for the night life you indeed have won
Time for the night life, time to refresh your brain

Looking in the mirror, little wink, pretty girl
That night’s gonna be wild, music will make you swirl

	Oooh, Rock’n’Roll, thrilling glow
	Oooh, let you go for a show
	Hair blowing free in the air
	Leave your soul fully bare

-Chorus 1-
		You simply kiss Rock’n’Roll
		You simply love Rock’n’Roll

-Verse 2-
Each week, on Friday, new week-end to come
You want some freedom, exhibit the chromes
Time for a wild life, with your friends you shine
Time for a wild life, time to share that good wine

Tight jean’s for your round butts, make-up for your bright eyes
Let your tits nicely rock, no wildness to disguise

	Oooh, motorcycles will roar
	Oooh, let you go for a ride
	Hair in the wind, you will glide
	You need to feel your pride

-Chorus 2-
		You simply ride Rock’n’Roll
		You simply live Rock’n’Roll

-Ending-
You simply kiss Rock’n’Roll
	You simply love Rock’n’Roll
		You simply ride Rock’n’Roll
			You simply live Rock’n’Roll
