Black Rabbit

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.

Lyrics:
Brooding sea, oppressive day, a panorama in disarray,
A resolute light will find the way from a horizon hideaway.
Forever theme, the mystery, the recurring history,
The bitterest veil on what we see becomes a new reality.

All in time, all in time, let the story fully unwind, 
All in time, comes the clue to the riddle of “why”.
All in time, all in time, the biography will fully unwind, 
All in time, see the crack in the cover of the sky.

Climb the mountain, stormy day, broken boulders block the way,
You’re losing your hope, begin to pray, 
- to a summit that’s farther away.
Sudden break reveals a beam 
through the fog blotting out the dream,
It’s guiding the way to the brilliant day, 
that’s just above the grey.

All in time, all in time, let the story fully unwind, 
All in time, comes the clue to the riddle of “why”.
All in time, all in time, the biography will fully unwind, 
All in time, see the crack in the cover of the sky.

Clouded years, distorted fears, oh, no no no.
Waiting ‘til the crack appears, oh, wo-wo-wo.

Instrumental 

All in time, all in time, let the story fully unwind, 
All in time, comes the clue to the riddle of “why”.
All in time, all in time, the biography will fully unwind, 
All in time, see the crack in the cover of the sky.

All In Time

Unhappy People
I see you running around the place, constantly doing everything 
Always brisk, always busy. Always absent from yourself
As you were never really present. You were never truly here
Always looking for something in the past or in future yet to appear.

Always looking for that something 
For that thing which will make you feel so whole
Always searching, always seeking
Always looking outside for your goal.

If you stop and take your time
You will see what is near to you
If you don’t look within yourself
You cant find what might be your breakthrough

Chorus
Unhappy people are never present,
Never present to themselves
Always looking to the future
Or there are living in the past

You know your essential nature, you think you know the substance of your life
You think you know who ideal of being but, from the truth you are fleeing
You are trapped in your own memories, searching for something to occur
Either way you are moving further, from the truth in a searching blur

Unhappy people are never present,
Never present to themselves
Always looking to the future
Or there living in the past

Unhappy People

Transitions II

LYRICS:

Not long ago
The ice and snow
lay in sheets on the ground
But it's too late now
The seeds of doubt
have taken root all around

The air's a little bit colder today
The day's a little bit longer they say
We'll grow a little bit older this way

I'll never run from the fading sun
So move your tired lungs
in inflated tones
and sing for me
When all we've done
is the sum of exactly 1
I'd never number the days
in the month of February

You gotta know how know how to hold it
Know how to hold it in

I'll never run from the fading sun
So move your tired lungs
in inflated tones
and sing for me
When all we've done
is the sum of exactly 1
I'd never number the days
in the month of February

The Sum of Exactly 1

Romeos & Juliets

Machines make life easy.
Machines are so pretty.
They love you like your mother.
They love you like your lover.
They kill you like no other.

Machines Make Life Easy

I made a regular dungeon track to pair with Haunted Highland. With how the same elements sound, I think it's more a snowy theme. Somewhere, Nightmare Before Christmas nods with enthusiasm.

Snowy Hideaway

I write music and just want you to hear it—- let me know what you think, thanks!
