It's fun to just rock out again. That's what Release was all about- Pulling out the guitars and lighting it up. Defiance in the face of obstinance is what it all boils down to, and keeping up the dream when it's not what it seem.

Immolation

[Intro]
Feel the power surge, it's about to ignite,
The thunderous call of the metal tonight.
Bass drums pounding, heartbeats align,
Guitars screaming out, razor-sharp, divine.

[Verse 1]
Underneath the neon lights, we gather in a storm,
Heads are banging, bodies moving, a primal form.
From the shadows rises sound, piercing through the haze,
A symphony of metal, in this ruthless gaze.
Double bass terror, it's the hammer that strikes,
Driving everyone wild, like a pack of hungry bikes.
The riffs are like wildfire, catching in the night,
Melodies intertwined, like a feud ready to fight.

[Chorus]
Riff ripper revolution, welcome to the show,
Intense vibrations, feel the tectonic flow!
Shredding through the silence, crushing every fear,
We are the warriors, for the metal, we cheer!

[Verse 2]
Electric chaos, a world set ablaze,
Rhythms on a rampage, lost in a daze.
Power chords colliding, spinning like a wheel,
We’re riding this heavy wave, it’s the ultimate deal.
Guitar solos cascading, ascend to the sky,
With every note that's played, we learn how to fly.
From the depths of our souls, the anthem screams loud,
This is our embrace, proud and unbowed.

[Chorus]
Riff ripper revolution, welcome to the show,
Intense vibrations, feel the tectonic flow!
Shredding through the silence, crushing every fear,
We are the warriors, for the metal, we cheer!

[Bridge]
A surge of aggression, chaotic delight,
Lives intertwined in this metal fight.
Yet lifting each other, through the roaring sound,
Let the rhythm guide us, let the pride rebound.
We’re forging our legacy, the night’s alive,
With guitars in hand, we learn how to thrive.

[Verse 3]
So, break the chains and let the music proclaim,
We’re a legion of heart, we won’t be the same.
With each passing moment, the echoes will grow,
We’re united in power, together we’ll flow.
Double kick percussion, marching like a dream,
Through the fire and fury, we rise like a beam.
A relentless crescendo, the anthem ignites,
In this thrilling war zone, we shine through the nights.

[Outro]
So let the world witness, this thunderous throng,
Riff Ripper Revolution, hear our song!
Together we stand, fierce and bold,
In the realm of metal, our stories unfold.
With the fire inside us, we keep moving fast,
In the wave of the future, our shadows are cast!

In Gaza / Ukraine / Russia and the rest of the conflicted world, people die - day in day out, we as a human race could care a bit more.

The raging wars serve as a catalyst for the lyrics in most of the existing and upcoming songs. It seems that killing each other is the only way forward as written in the lyrics on the song - The Violent Ones.

War Metal as I see it, is to write lyrics about the insanity of war and not to forget those who died.

These are some of the dark layers of life

TAPATORA name has multiple meanings. It is an ancient name for a male that was mainly used in Finland. It is also the name of an island near Tampere and if you translate it in English, it means kill the quarrel / dispute / wrangle.

Guitarist

I have been playing guitar for 20+ years and I love making music. Metal is my first love, and that’s very plain to see if you listen to my music. After years of doing the band thing, I am now a self-produced solo instrumental artist. I hope you enjoy these instrumental offerings, I had a lot of fun writing them!
