Alchemical [Fusion] is a haunting progressive rock epic that conjures the eerie specter of nuclear annihilation. The song's narrative is woven from the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who famously declared "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds" as he witnessed the first atomic blast. The track's haunting harmonies and driving rhythms evoke the apocalyptic consequences of nuclear war, as eerie audio clips from Harry Truman's announcement of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki eerily underscore the song's themes. Through a maelstrom of soaring guitar solos and pounding drumbeats, "Alechmical [Fusion]" probes the dark heart of humanity's most devastating creation, leaving the listener to ponder the devastating consequences of our destructive potential.

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

Merle Haggard’s iconic song “Mama Tried” delves into the pain and suffering he caused his mother due to his incarceration in San Quentin in 1957. While the song isn’t strictly autobiographical, it reflects his experiences growing up

The story behind this timeless tune:
Merle’s father passed away when he was nine years old. His mother worked tirelessly to provide for the family. Merle was a wild child. At the age of 20, he was convicted of burglary and attempted escape from county jail. His 2 1/2-year term led him to San Quentin prison, where he played in the prison’s country band and pursued high school equivalency courses and where Merle had a cosmic encounter with the Man in Black himself! 

As a 21-year-old inmate at San Quentin in 1959, Haggard witnessed Johnny Cash’s legendary prison performance as an inmate. Cash’s prison show left an indelible mark on Haggard, inspiring him not only musically but also as a beacon of redemption

Merle began his musical journey earlier in life. He was performing music before he went to prison, and after his release, he resumed working in bars and clubs. His first recording was Wynn Stewart’s “Sing a Sad Song,” which became a national hit in 1964

I saw Merle preform live when my dad VL took me to a concert at our local county fair in rural Illinois in the 1970s

Merle passed away on April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—in the San Joaquin Valley, California. He lost a brief battle with pneumonia. Haggard’s musical legacy, spanned the 1960s to the 2010s with nearly 40 number one hits. Interestingly, he had predicted his own passing, sharing this poignant insight with his son shortly before the fateful day

The iconic song “Mama Tried” was released in July 1968. It became one of the cornerstone songs of country music, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. It won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its cultural significance. In 2021, it was ranked at #376 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”! 🎵🌟

[Verse 1]
                D          G             D                G
The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      D                                 A7
A young un's dream of growin' up to ride
     D                     G         D                 G
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound
       D                   A7             D
No one could change my mind, but Mama tried

[Verse 2]
        D          G             D               G
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
    D                               A7
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
          D             G                    D             G
'Despite my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
     D             A7         D
Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
              D                         G               D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
   Bm                                 A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     D                                 G             D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin’ I denied,
                       A7                 D
That leaves me the one to blame ‘cause Mama tried

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
          D               G               D            G
Dear old Dad, rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
      D                            A7
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
          D           G           D               G
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
    D                 A7             D
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

Lyrics:
Picture for a minute the possibility
Livin' n' givin' n' winnin' n' gettin' so free
Witness beginnings and endings n' lettin' thangs be
Let the evil of humanity plunge deep in the sea
Get the noose let it wither away
And today you n' I both know what to say
In the face of destruction that's life reduction
It has only solely one function
Target and attack wack devil on a horseback
Bout to get God-smacked yea how ya like that
Well let the Good Lord carry on
Yea bout' to crush New Babylon
And every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away
Verse 2
Picture for a minute the insanity
The depth of calamity coupled with vanity
Lost in a selfie sea ain't nobody helpin' me
That's the way it's gotta be gotta seek deep relief
And I find it right here
Find on the inside that my mind gets live
I ain't never gotta hide only hold it down n' ride
Seein' God pick a side pick a fight wrong or right
Forget the hype flashy lights fake people not my type
Got a team and we're tight ILP yea that's right
Another dope track we know you feel that
Put your fist in the air time to hit back
Cuz every hidden thangs gonna be flipped around
From the top of the world to the underground
Yes and there will be justice
That's the word you can trust this
Chorus 2x
Every man has his day everythang flips around
If you look hard enough there's some truth to be found
If you're on another level then you know what I say
You're eternally alive, others fade away

ILP - Conscious Entity Sound - New Babylon Remix

M'Z, is a solo project shaped by a wide variety of music :
Canterbury, Progressive, Rock in opposition, Metal, Electronica, Space rock, Noise, Jazz, free-rock, Ambient, Psyche, Heavy, Punk, Drum'n bass...

My name is Mathieu Torres and I am also a guitarist and composer in various artistic projects:
La théorie des cordes / Zhorhann / The diogenes / Matziz / Dirt in the wind / Urban BallShit / Inland Motel / Collectif La Barraque / Aux arts etc / Dirt and Cpu / no Skeletons / composer of music for the image...

The driving idea of ​​this particular project is to create parallels between poetic or philosophical concepts and music, without setting aesthetic barriers.

Born from the vital need to create, at the end of 2017, M'Z has since performed around fifty dates (Streets/Markets/Café-concerts (Cave a rock - L'usine à musique - Le Maquis - Red turtle café...)/Festivals (Résistance/Semaine jaune...)Off /Marciac - Bourges / Various support concerts...)
and released 4 albums, 1 EP and 2 singles which received very good press
(Diego Pinheiro Review - ProfilProg - Athos di MAT2020 - Autopoeitican - COREandCO webzine - AM: Plified - areARock - Mazik - Plus PROG de Vous - Eternal Terror - L'oreille à l'envers - Exposé . org - DPRP . net - The Elite Extremophile - Litzic...)

"Prisme" the first album, made the link between Colors, feelings and Music,

"L'autopsie du dogme" the second, attacked the music industry while working to analyze dogma in general and psychoanalyzing the members of M'Z in this quagmire in passing,

"Cool is watching you" (EP) was interested in demolishing, in music and lyrics, the idea of ​​the "Cool" posture that seems to be a norm in the era of social networks and the "start-upized" world

"La Nef" (single) as for it, tried to extract a source, more or less healthy, of the need for human spirituality, when it is freed from religious doctrines
"Hympécita" (single) paid tribute to an animal friend.

"La Civilisation de la Graine" the third was a musical reflection on the essence of our patriarchal organizations and our tendency to organize ourselves into civilizations, certainly elegant but undeniably unjust, ephemeral, violent and rickety. 8 pieces to try to analyze these phenomena.

And finally 'Emancipés du Vides ?'(emancipated from the void?) The fourth album, is a melancholic reflection on our emotional abysses, on the difficulty of extricating ourselves from our various attractions for nothingness, our inability to look at the mental waste that we produce without going through the guilt box, a critique of normalization, of the conformism of the hollow positivism praised by our overly marketed minds in search of the fastest path to "A Meaning". Finally, it symbolizes the vital necessity of finding our lost naivety.
