Years ago, I heard a mashup someone did of XXXTENTACION's "teeth" and Aquilo's "Never Seen You Get So Low", and it was absolute magic. Sadly, it disappeared sometime ago or I can't find it again. So, last night I got inspired to recreate it, feeling rather somber and nostalgic this week anyway, but decided to add Biggie Small's acapella for "Juicy" overtop. It wasn't until posting this I remembered yesterday was the anniversary of Biggie's death. R.I.P. forever to a legend.

I hope this little mashup inspires you or at least sends a smile during these quite bleak times. Love always. <3

Juicy Teeth Moon

Juicy Moon Teeth

An acoustic spin off track from the upcoming thrash metal track - The Dark of Man

This is a love song of sorts - only one I will ever do -- Lyrics below. 

Update: added a bass track 30.6

Ro… roaming empty corners of my mind
without sign of guiding light … oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built… has to fall

This was to last beyond the time
with the strongest keel holding it tight
… oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built has to fall

The endless time pushing me down
Who am I to resist, just loosing my ground 
… oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built… has to fall

My redemption starts tonight, only sinister thoughts
stay by my side - no, no, not looking for harm, the fear of end 
will keep me calm

Did our evolution run its course – Is it now the time for different force...?
Will I return to life left behind...
I’d still rather find you by my side, by my side, by my side … .. .

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you" by Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Lyrics:

I am buried in your heart, where your hate tears me apart.
I can hardly breathe, you drain this life away from me.
You drain this life, away from me
You drain this life, away from me
You drain this life, away from me

So take a piece of me
and I wil take… a piece of you
So take… a piece of me
and I wil take… 
a piece of you
So take… a piece of me
and I wil take… a piece of you
So I will take…

Have not been playing the guitar for more than couple of hours the past 4 months - too many reasons to open up here, but this one came through as a force of nature a few days ago.

There are some metal songs that are waiting to come out, the WAR trilogy needs to be completed.

RE-IMAGINED - Bury me into nothingness

RE-IMAGINED - Bury me into nothingness (Vocal update 13.7) - Lyrics

TAPATORA is a freestyle metal / alternative rock artist and heavily influenced by 80s music in general. 

The link below is a COLLAB with Chris Schlue - Industrial / Electronic / Speed / Dark Metal vibes ... really enjoyed writing the lyrics and doing the vocals - Big Thanks to Chris - CHECK OUT  Programmed Minds

I do have an excellent drummer on my corner who blasts the beats and with whom I compose the tracks.

THEN

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. 

The human suffering is beyond belief, it needs to END now. 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.
