"Dorian Gray" is a complex progressive metal song coming straight from hell. Inspired by Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray", we tell a story about hedonism digging right into the human abyss. This song is as violent and witty like Dorian Gray in this book. Be prepared for brutal shredding, heavy vocals and temper changes telling the life of a tormented soul. I couldn't resist drawing a portrait of how I imagine Dorian Gray. I am happy that we turned our individual strengths into something big. How would this song sound without Chad's heavy drum grooves, Against The Tempest's passion for technical metal and ambient leads, I AM MEADOWS' powerful and versatile voice and my lyrics on epic chord progressions? Prepare for headbanging, cause this "Dorian Gray" is gonna be heavy and dark.
Content Warning: strong language and violence.

==== LYRICS ====

A spell extending my lifespan 
Inside the portrait of a man 
Just look at me, I'm a handsome juvenile
My beloved died of a poison in a vial

Yellow French book without a name
Teaches me how to play war games
I wanna be much more literate and mundane
How come love 
causes so much ache and so much pain? 

Pray for sinners
Pray for saints
All is covered up with paint  

I can be
Whoever I want to be
My soul is old but I'm forever young
Oh, can't you see
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

Dorian Gray

An evil grin upon my face
I'd like to kill the human race
I am the saint, ready to wipe out your disgrace
Let's liquefy the painter's corpse in nitric ace

PLEASE HIDE MY PICTURE
WHO I'M DEEP INSIDE
NO TIME FOR STRICTURE
SWALLOW MY FOOLISH PRIDE

STRICKEN WITH DESASTER
SHATTERED PILASTER
STRICKEN IN YEARS
MY DEAPEST FEARS

Pray for Satan, 
Pray for God
Purify against all odds

I can be
Whoever I want to be
My soul is old but I'm forever young
Oh, can't you see
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

HOLY FACE OF SATYR
DON'T LET ME BE YOUR MARTYR
CREEPING MOB OF VERMINS
IDENTITY CONFIRMINED

MY LIFE IS BEYOND CONTROL
I'D LIKE TO STAB MY CANVAS SOUL
THE PRECIOUS PORTRAIT I EXTOL
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!

I wriggle like an eel
My face lost all appeal 
My heart still made of steel
Now I can't conceal

I have been 
What the portrait meant me to be
I've grown old, my portrait still stays young 
Oh, have you seen 
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE

method: deliberatly not taming a wildernis of sound. to understand the words, you may read along here. 
narration: reading the theories of Timothy Morton had been my main consolation at the time of writing. there is an interlinear English version below the original

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in die odradek variationen):


seit zwölftausend jahren jäten wir unkraut aus
wüten gegen wildwuchs, wandeln wildnis in weide
sind gärtner der erde, den wölfen ein wolf
entfesseln elementare zivilsationsphantasien


trotzen stolz dem trauma der selbstbemächtigung
als endosymbiontische eukaryonten
schaffen uns ein gedeihliches exomilieu
das uns taub, tumb, stumpf, verwirrt, irr und wahnhaft im


straßenlabyrinth nach satellitensignalen
autonom heimwärts bewegt. da ist kein außen
für das wir nicht blind sind, da ist kein innen, das wir
nicht regeln, denn die parole heißt über-leben


und was uns befremdet muss todbringend sein und
nur ein nachhall davon darf uns in dichtungsklang
rühren, als reife eine sehnsucht nach echtharmonie
aus dem einklang unseres weltschaffens hervor

interlinear:
mowing // for 12000 years, we have been weeding / fighting wild growth, turning wildernis into pasture / have been gardeners of the earth, a wolf to all wolves / releasing elementary phantasies of civilization // proudly rising up to the trauma of self-empowerment / as endosymbiotic eucaryonts / creating a hospitable exo-environment / making us walk the maze of streets deafly, mindlessly, bluntly, desorientatedly, madly and delusionally // following satellite signals / taking us home autonomously, there is no outside / we aren‘t blind for, there is no inside, we / aren‘t regulating, for the call to action is sur-vival // and what appears to be alien has to be lethal and / only its faint resonance may touch us in poetry / as though there was a longing for real harmony / growing from the monophonic din of terraforming

Kiss Of The Sun

A collaboration between :
Shane Beck, The Last American Poet (Words)
progettosonoro (Music)

Conform to the concept of an eternal love & this infinite wait
If you in fact know of the purity of love then it is never too late
Were you not consumed by the words of the Invisible Flame
By the truth of loves sorrow & the girl who called my name

Beside me breathing in the ocean air responding to my embrace
So you took on the persona of who you really are as I kissed your face
Everything inside you was at peace as the Invisible Flame spoke
This road goes on forever but who was it who left this heart broke

DECOHERENCE
Answered the question
Words lost in time
Range from the totally absurd to sublime
Two different people
And objects collide
Sometimes I think I am taken for a ride

CHORUS
I am split into two separate waves
Decoherence is only a phase
Whilst I'm learning to cope with my place
And we're ever learning
I am split into success and waste
Decoherence is only a phase
And there's two sides to my ugly face
And we're never learning

Is there a problem?
Did I fall short?
Did I insult you with my funny retort?
I could go sideways
Toss of a coin
Slowly my molecules start to re-join

CHORUS
