Oss-Hypocrisy

The story begins with the main character speaking from a prison cell. He feels trapped — not just by the walls around him, but by the consequences of his own actions.

He looks back on everything that happened, knowing there’s no way to undo it. The guilt, regret, and isolation weigh heavily on him. "Confined" introduces the listener to his state of mind at the end of the story, before the album takes us back to show how it all began.
lyrics
CONFINED

confined
and recalling endlessly
abstract
and impossible to find

can only hate yourself
and that's a fact
all the time for yourself
but you are trapped

unreal
unreal

guilt
to pain
build
apologize in vain

unreal
unreal

guilt
to pain
build
apologize in vain

nothing to do
nothing to dream
one part of me
will never be free

can only hate yourself
and that's a fact
all the time for yourself
but you are trapped

Confined

“Unknown” is the second track from The Tunnel, exploring the deep unease and curiosity that comes from confronting what we don’t understand. It captures the tension between fear and fascination when we face the unexplained—whether it’s within ourselves, the world, or the void beyond.
lyrics
UNKNOWN

some things you cannot see
by the end, nobody knows nothing
some things aren't meant to be learned
I've seen enough

suffering, embrace it
acknowledge unknown

a find between the noise
fear undertakes and nothing can be

behold how chance
can humble a person so blind

delusion
over believes
self obsesion is never wising
nothing it holds
fear the unknown

a track that follows nowhere
then why I'm so furiously obsessed

I know
I know why I can't sleep

I cannot sleep
I've always known why

delusion
over believes
self obsesion is never wising
nothing it holds
fear the unknown

Unknown

“Obstinacy” is the third chapter of The Tunnel, focused on the relentless obsession with uncovering the truth at any cost. It reflects the mental strain of pushing beyond limits—where the need to know more leads to poor decisions, blurred judgment, and a betrayal of one’s own beliefs. The track builds on the psychological spiral of the album, showing how the pursuit of knowledge can distort perception and integrity.
lyrics
OBSTINACY

cope with loss
what is ephemeral
all is gone
nothing can turn back time
denied all dreams
driven obstinacy
bleak rationale
nothing can please

I've watched this
one thousand times
all that was righteous
is strained

come with me
forget your face
all is gone
nothing can bring you back
end your life
for what you gave it all
kill everyone
you're now insane

I've watched this
one thousand times
all that was righteous
is strained forever

once you fall
you never stop
further and further
the surface is lost

distant parts from my soul
seeking vengeance somewhere
nothing left here
nothing left here

Obstinacy

“Paranoia” is the fifth piece of The Tunnel, capturing the psychological breakdown that comes from constant fear and distrust. It dives into the belief that everyone is against you—that every glance hides a threat, every silence conceals a plot. As the mind spirals deeper, sleep becomes impossible, and when it comes, it brings only nightmares. This track marks a descent into isolation, where perception becomes distorted and reality turns hostile.

PARANOIA

damage in the brain

Scream
born anxiety
damage in the brain

Wrath
Building Constantly
Lost all sanity
Lost all sanity

contemplate
what cannot be
Afraid
piercing my neck
shaking hands
From what it was
you'll feel your body
It's now collapsed

Blacked
Senses vanishing
Cannot contain
Frantic all again
Scarred
So much to think
Lost all sanity

you feel all the time
someone is trying to kill you

this is deep
this is death
to be observed while asleep
you cannot move
you cannot breathe
you're paralized can't you see

Paranoia

“Unstable” is the seventh track of The Tunnel, following the harsh realization uncovered in Cognizance. Now fully overwhelmed, the protagonist begins to unravel—mentally and emotionally. He swings violently between rage, apathy, and desperation. At times, he feels like nothing matters; other times, he feels trapped by how much he cares. The track captures the chaos of a collapsing mind, unable to process the weight of the truth or find a way forward.

UNSTABLE

can't hear a word I speak to me
my mind revolves around
I keep fixated on a loop I have found
I'm possessed, borderline
I cannot go on
I've got so tired but then i cannot stop

I lost control
I'm blind

this pain
it grows
I can't
can't get a single thought straight

I feel regret want to forget
don't learn from the past
my actions talk to me
but I ignore
I cannot care anymore

I lost control
I'm blind

this pain
it grows
I can't
can't get a single thought straight

lost
without
trace
my brain

I lost control
I'm blind
unstable

Unstable

“Demise” is the eighth chapter of The Tunnel, where the protagonist reaches his breaking point. Consumed by instability and despair, he decides to kill the woman he once loved—the one who first made him feel alive. There’s no turning back. This act is not just violence outward, but inward: the destruction of the last part of himself that could feel. He knows he’ll never sleep again. This is his own death, disguised as survival.

DEMISE

I'm running towards my end
I failed to amend
the sky is black
thunder and lighting show my path

to find eyes so calm
makes me feel more enraged
this feels like a dream
like I never commited such crime

pain will remain
pain will remain

the sight of blood couldn't stop me
I had to see things through

I will never rest again
my heart is stained
I will never forgive myself
should've been me the slayed

pain will remain
pain will remain

I got myself here
now it's done
my chance for redemption is gone

The Tunnel

Demise

“Tunnel”, the ninth track of The Tunnel, confronts the crushing realization that nothing ever truly changes. The path was always set. Growth, redemption, or escape were illusions—naive hopes from a mind that didn’t understand itself. The flaws, the pain, the patterns—they were always part of who he is. There is no light at the end. Just the tunnel itself. And now, all that’s left is to keep walking deeper into it.

TUNNEL

seeking to feel
perception deceived
sacrifice everything you believe
you cannot escape me
if I want you to see something
regard it as truth
I treat you the same
a mild anesthetic to soothe

and I will pull you in
noone sees noone cares
your path is already drawn
lose all hope
lose all faith

become
what you hate
and sin
you cannot change

lie to yourself
realize you cannot change
don't bother trying again
understand what upsets you most
there is no use
I treat you the same
a mild anesthetic to soothe

and I will pull you in
noone sees noone cares
your path is already drawn
lose all hope
lose all faith

become
what you hate
and sin
you cannot change

a mild anesthetic to soothe

seeking to feel
perception deceived
sacrifice everything you believe
you cannot escape me

you cannot escape me

Tunnel

This song is very much in the style of Candlemass . I cant say i even play close to the caliber that Candlemass did back in the day , but to me the song reminds me of their style .. And who the fk can sing like Messiah anyways .. Only the gods can my friends . 
Thank You for listening ... sr

----------------------------

As we gaze into the mirror
the reflection is our past
a journey through both time and space

echoing through walls of labyrinths
Its a judgment of all the things
Mortality's phantom is embraced

---------------------------------

like a ghost this grand illusion
its story is deep and vast
it passes freely through the void

A lesson to be learnt 
its stories are untold
the truth is clear of why it came 

-----------------------------------

Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream
And scenes of bliss pass as the phantom by
The transient pleasures as a vision seem
And yet we think .....the greatest pain's to die


How strange it is that man should roam the earth 
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; don't dare he view 
His future doom which has but to awake.

Phantom Mortality

Intimate.  Addictive. This is the darkness you can’t resist.

We’ve been working on this record for almost two years – and now it’s finally here: “Devil” has been born.
But this album is nothing like anything we’ve done before. Dark, cryptic, yet strangely catchy – a sound that mixes our roots with pop culture fragments, hypnotic songwriting, and a touch of madness.

It’s by far our most experimental project, maybe even the most mainstream thing we’ve ever created. And still, it’s undeniably us – raw, uncompromising, layered, like a mirror of the darkness in our time.

This album is more than just music. It’s an invitation:
A dance between desire and downfall, a ritual between shadow and light, a voice pulling you into the unknown.

And here’s the best part: “Devil” is only dropping on SoundCloud. Nowhere else. No streaming platforms, no physical release. Just here.
It’s our little gift to the community that’s been with us all along.

We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
Because for us, this isn’t just another chapter –
it might just be the best thing we’ve ever done.

Let yourself be tempted. Step inside.

We are NeON dEVIL

Our sound is ritualistic, raw, poetic, and unsettling – a feverish hallucination of lust, madness, and damnation.

This is your first glimpse into our world:
Tracks that whisper like demons and echo like broken prayers.
Listen now – let yourself be seduced.

Yet beneath the surface of distortion and desire, much of what we create is deliberately satirical, infused with dark humor, and framed by a sharp lens of social and systemic critique.
Even in our most explicit expressions, we do not glorify violence or sexuality – rather, we expose and question the very ways they are distorted, repressed, or exploited by society.

We first came together around 2004, initially under a different project name. NeON dEVIL, as it exists today, began to take shape in 2009 with the release of our first official album. We are not bound to a fixed genre. While much of our work lives within the realm of extreme metal, we also draw heavily from other styles — trap, rap, classical music, 70’s psychedelic rock, avant-garde, and at times even pop or swing.
Our influences are vast because each of us comes from a different musical background, and it is essential to us that every member can fully express themselves and feel at home within this project.

NeON dEVIL is a nonprofit music project.
We do not create for profit — all earnings are used exclusively either to support charitable causes or to fund the creation of new music. No part of our income goes anywhere else. The art we make either helps those in need or fuels the fire for our next creation.
