Darkness Within

I originally intended to expand this out just a bit and work with a female vocalist to turn this into a duet, but... I've accidentally made a 12 minute long thrash epic in 3 movements. This is part 1, the subsequent parts will be uploaded later!

Here's an original song inspired by the worms still eating my grey-matter from the game "Needy Streamer Overload". I've sampled the classic Amen-Break as well as "Do you love me?" by Aiobahn.

Album Description: "Ghost Division" (2021)
"Ghost Division" is a powerful and atmospheric music album released in 2021. It delves into themes of war, unseen forces, and haunting echoes from the past. The album features tracks like "Phantom Battalion," "Shadows of War," and "Stealth Strike," each capturing the eerie and ominous presence of ghostly warriors and futuristic battles. With a mix of heavy guitar riffs, ambient sounds, and dramatic orchestral arrangements, "Ghost Division" transports listeners to a world where spectral soldiers and Haunebu UFOs dominate the night skies. The album cover, depicting a war-torn field under a dark, misty night, perfectly complements the haunting and mysterious mood of the music.

The Saibōgu, my army of voices, is a diverse and dynamic group of individuals. Each member of this mysterious collective contributes their unique vocal prowess, adding voices and emotions to my songs when I can't. There are no names, no identities, just The Saibōgu and they love it.

"Revival" takes me back to my earlier influences such as Biohazard and other NYHC bands that delivered powerful riffs and in-your-face lyrics - all delivered with that trademark aggression. The song explores being constantly put down by a narcissist until you are just a shell of your former self. That is until you realize what is happening and make moves to escape.

"Hardcore Punk has always resonated with me, and I find myself coming back to it on the regular."

This happened to me years ago. I think I am over it and it is water under the bridge, but then when I see someone who looks like that person, my blood pressure rises, and I get super angry and anxious. So, I know I am nowhere near being over it, and it still affects me to this day. I am also angry I allowed someone to do that to me over an extended period of time.

When it was time to pen lyrics for the hardcore riffs, I did as I usually do: I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff, just freestyled into the mic. Then I wrote the rest of the song around it.

"I hit record, stepped up to the mic, and started yelling. The first verse is pretty much exactly what I yelled off the cuff."

Revival

[Verse]
City burns black sky splinters
Walking shadows blur my sight
Metal whispers cold surrender
Rust and ash taste the night

[Verse 2]
Iron fists break bone and pride
Smoke and steel under moonlight gleam
Towering walls crush every stride
Machine breathes end to dream

[Chorus]
Scream through veins in fires stoked
Hell's hymn crackles in the storm
Breathe poison love choke on lies
Dark souls reborn night reborn

[Bridge]
Angels weep in iron tombs
Demons dance to steel chains sway
Thunder roars in endless glooms
Blood and oil paint decay

[Verse 3]
Broken streets spread scars wide open
Wreckage ways maps forsaken
Eyes like metal hearts they're frozen
Deep under pain's dark curtain

[Chorus]
Scream through veins in fires stoked
Hell's hymn crackles in the storm
Breathe poison love choke on lies
Dark souls reborn night reborn

These verses paint a vivid picture of a soul yearning for freedom and transcendence, yet constantly reminded of the inherent risks and inevitable falls that come with such aspirations. The imagery of soaring through the sky and chasing the sun symbolizes the pursuit of dreams and ambitions, while the recurring theme of falling into the night reflects the struggles and setbacks faced along the way.

The poem captures the duality of the human experience—the exhilaration of reaching for the stars and the sobering reality of the challenges that accompany such endeavors. The lines "The promise of freedom, the threat of the fall" and "A dance with shadows, losing the fight" highlight the tension between hope and despair, success and failure.

Ultimately, the verses convey a sense of resilience and determination, as the speaker continues to strive for their goals despite the obstacles. The repeated refrain of "I fly, I fall" underscores the cyclical nature of this journey, suggesting that the pursuit of one's dreams is a continuous process of rising and falling, learning and growing.
