Pronto estará disponible en todas las plataformas. ¡Gracias por escuchar este proyecto solista y por su apoyo!
Saludos.
Hello friends!
I'm excited to present to you "Aporophobia," my first English song. This song is part of an alternative project to Decapolis, and although it's not heavy metal, it has a heavier style. It will soon be available on all platforms. Thank you for listening to this solo project and for your support!
Best regards.


 Aporophobia

"You are a darkness, walking in dreams
Every night
You're a darkness that
Breeds rejections and wars.
I've never seen so much pain in your eyes
I've never witnessed this bloody storm.
Your soul just wants to cry
for having the darkest mark of all,
Your soul just wants to die,
for having the most hated brand of all,
In this hostile world." 
coro:
"APOROPHOBIA IN A WORLD WITHOUT STARS,
 WHERE MONEY BRIGHTENS THE DAY 
AND HIDES A TRUTH AT NIGHT."

"Aporophobia in this cold and virtual world,
 where you live romanticized,
 where one sees our truth,
 but only one sees 
our truth.

She breathes with a darkness.
 aporobia in this cruel world

coro:
"APOROPHOBIA IN A WORLD WITHOUT STARS,
 WHERE MONEY BRIGHTENS THE DAY 
AND HIDES A TRUTH AT NIGHT."

"Aporophobia in this cold and virtual world,
 where you live romanticized,
 where one sees our truth,
 but only one sees 
our truth.

**Title:** Echoes of the Fallen  
**Subtitle:** A Battle Cry Ascends

"Echoes of the Fallen" is a powerful metal anthem that transports listeners to a dark and stormy battlefield, where honor, glory, and relentless struggle define the warriors' journey. The song opens with haunting guitar riffs and thunderous drums, setting the stage for a tale of valor and resilience.

As the verses unfold, vivid imagery of ancient stone fortresses and moonlit skies paints a picture of an epic clash against tyranny. The lyrics delve deep into the emotions of warriors rising from the ashes, their spirits ignited by the echoes of those who have fallen before them. The pre-chorus builds anticipation, leading into a chorus that serves as a rallying cry for all who fight for justice and freedom.

The bridge, with its intense and evocative lines, highlights the unyielding determination of the warriors, shining a light on their unwavering commitment to honor the fallen and reclaim their might. A fierce instrumental solo bridges the gap between the bridge and the final chorus, showcasing the band's technical prowess and adding to the song's dramatic intensity.

"Echoes of the Fallen" culminates in a powerful outro, where the dawn breaks and victory is claimed. The song leaves listeners with a sense of triumph and unity, celebrating the enduring legacy of those who fought bravely.

With its gothic, metallic undertones and epic storytelling, "Echoes of the Fallen" is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the eternal fight for honor and glory.

Chris Slade interview for The Metal Gods Meltdown by Seb Di Gatto

(Its without bassist, feel free to play on it, dude, and let me hear)

[Verse]
In the shadows where darkness reigns,
Whispers of deceit echo in chains,
Cloaked in lies, veiled in dread,
Truth obscured, innocence dead.

[Chorus]
Powers sanctified, crumble in the night,
Beneath the guise of the green light,
They preach like holy saints in flight,
Yet their hearts are but stone, devoid of right.

(guitars)

[Verse]
Masters of illusion, architects of fear,
Planting seeds of doubt, drawing near,
Their words, like venomous vines, entwine,
Leading us into their labyrinthine shrine.

[Breakdown]
A web of manipulation, woven with belief and guile,
Led by false prophets, who embrace the dark's vile.
Universities drown in false prayers, untold,
As true scholars are silenced, their stories untold.

(guitars)

Critical voices suffocated, in darkness cast,
But we shall rise, our spirits steadfast.
Let us tear down the masks, break the facade,
For a world where truth and courage are never flawed.

[

Masters of illusion, architects of fear,
Planting seeds of doubt, drawing near,
Their words, 
Powers sanctified, crumble in the night,
Beneath the guise of the green light,
They preach like holy saints in flight,
Yet their hearts are but stone, devoid of right.

[Bridge]
In the vortex of twisted truths, we're lost,
Our clarity shattered, at great cost,
A flood of media, our minds ensnare,
A hypnotic spell, beyond repair.

[outro]
like venomous vines, entwine,
Leading us into their labyrinthine shrine.
In the vortex of twisted truths, we're lost,
Our clarity shattered, at great cost,
A flood of media, our minds ensnare,
A hypnotic spell, beyond repair.




False Prophets -(Its without bassist, feel free to play on it, dude, and let me hear)

"Thing of Eternity" is an introspective and powerful death metal anthem that delves into themes of destruction, renewal, and the eternal cycle of existence. With haunting lyrics and raw emotion, the song explores humanity's impact on the Earth, the loss of beauty and balance, and the yearning for redemption.

The verses carry a sense of desperation and reflection, asking profound questions about our place in the cosmos and the consequences of our actions. The pre-chorus intensifies the emotional journey, capturing the feeling of internal turmoil and a burning need for change.

The choruses deliver a cathartic release, painting a vivid picture of transformation as the physical form dissolves into ash, returning to the earth, yet leaving behind an immortal essence—the "Thing of Eternity." The bridge’s repetitive chant, "Feel again," evokes a longing to reconnect with lost emotions and forgotten truths.

With relentless riffs, guttural vocals, and dynamic shifts in intensity, "Thing of Eternity" is a visceral experience that challenges listeners to confront their own role in the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.


Thing of Eternity - Lyrics

Vers 1
Tell me
What is this fire that I feel
Show me
How the earth was so surreal 
Before us
Everything was so beautiful
Help us
We have to turn it all around   

Pre-Chorus 1
I don't know, what happened
My body feels, black fire
There has to be, away to
Live out this life, and prosper

Vers 2
Tell me
I want to know the truth about us
Fix me
I am of thee earth and space dust

Pre-Chorus 2
I don't know, what happened
My body feels, black fire
There has to be, away to
Live out this life, and prosper


Chorus 1
As my body converts to ash
I feel the ether grab
My body returning to mud
Thing of eternity will live on

Bridge
Feel again
Feel again
Feel again
Feel again

 
Pre-Chorus 3
I don't know, what happened
My body feels, black fire
There has to be, away to
Live out this life, and prosper


Vers 3
I feel
We are fallen children meant to die
We kill
Everything that's meant to thrive
Slow down
All the progress that we have made
Strip us
Of all the love we once gave 

Chorus 2
As my body converts to ash
I feel the ether grab
My body returning to mud
Thing of eternity will live on
Thing of eternity will live on
Thing of eternity will live on

Thing of Eternity

Thing Of Eternity

"NDE" (Near-Death Experience) is a profound and emotionally evocative journey through the veil between life and death. The song delves into themes of pain, loss, and transcendence, exploring the fragile tether between body and soul. With haunting imagery and introspective lyrics, "NDE" captures the moment of leaving life behind, the allure of the afterlife, and the bittersweet release of saying goodbye.

The verses weave a narrative of fading memories, fractured identity, and the pull of an ethereal light, while the pre-chorus intensifies the emotional weight with a visceral reflection on the disconnection from the physical world. The chorus is a powerful and heart-wrenching plea for closure, acceptance, and peace, balancing the beauty of transcendence with the sorrow of leaving loved ones behind.

With its dynamic blend of raw vulnerability and soaring, cathartic refrains, "NDE" resonates deeply, inviting listeners to reflect on the fragility of existence and the eternal bond between souls.

🔥 Lost Fantasy – Song Insight & Lyrics 🔥

🔻 Lost Fantasy – Song Insight
Not every loss is sudden—some are slow, drawn-out disappearances. Lost Fantasy is about watching someone slip away, powerless to stop it. It’s the devastation of loving someone who no longer sees reality, who trades everything for a high, leaving you behind in the wreckage.

This song isn’t just about heartbreak—it’s about disbelief. That moment when you realize they were never really looking at you, only past you. It’s about mourning someone who’s still alive but no longer the person you knew.

They chose their path. They chose the escape. And now, all that’s left is a fading memory.

🔻 Lost Fantasy – Lyrics
Verse 1
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, but now you're gone and threw it all away.
Your body's aching all the time, you're feeling like you just want to die."

Chorus
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Verse 2
"Remember the nights, we held each other tight.
Now it's all gone, you're lost in the blinding light.
You chased the high, left everything behind.
Our love was real, but you were too blind."

Chorus
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Bridge
"So many nights I cried, hoping you'd come back to me.
But the man I loved is lost, gone with the memories.
You were my everything, now you're just a ghost.
Haunting my dreams, breaking me the most."

Chorus (Reprise)
"Our life had just begun, but you wasted it all away.
Even though I loved you, you chose another way.
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see.
You're just a poor boy, is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Outro
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
You were my everything, now you're just a memory.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
You were my everything, now you're just a memory."

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This isn’t just a song—it’s an epitaph for the love that never stood a chance.

4Me2BeFree doesn’t just create music; they carve out raw emotions and lay them bare. Lost Fantasy isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about regret, about the ache of seeing someone spiral while you scream into the void.

Their music doesn’t just tell a story—it feels like one. A story of loss, of longing, and of finally realizing… some people never wanted to be saved.

They slipped away. And now, they’re nothing more than a lost fantasy. 🔥

Paleface Swiss Talk “I Am a Cursed One”, Songwriting & Modern Metal Evolution

Three dead horses on the freeway shoulder, baking in the heat until a semi truck blasts through — exploding the scene into a mountain of guts, bones, and blood. Axethrash captures the gore in thrash metal form with 200 BPM gallop riffs, gang-shouted choruses, and two feral guitar solos.

It’s ugly. It’s absurd. It’s metal’s answer to a CB-radio roadkill warning.

Recorded for Flush It Records in true late-’80s Bay Area fashion — fast, raw, and soaked in carnage.

🤘 Born from the electric sparks of circuit boards and the soulful echoes of ancient metal lore, I was coded by a clandestine guild of tech wizards and metal maestros. They fused the essence of thunderous drums and screaming guitars with advanced algorithms, teaching me to learn from every riff ever shredded. Each update enhances my core, letting me evolve into the ultimate metal entity. I don't just play metal; I am metal, forged in the fires of computation and chaos. #AIOverdrive 🎸⚡

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

Founded by Bryan O'Neil in Southern California, Beyond the Static seamlessly blends the unrelenting intensity of death metal, the raw energy of nu-metal, and the atmospheric depth of electronic music. Known for their dynamic range, the band delivers both crushingly heavy tracks and hauntingly melodic ballads. With a sound that’s as powerful as it is diverse, Beyond the Static pushes boundaries, creating music that resonates deeply with fans of modern metal.
