This one was made 2020 - found it on the g-drive. Had forgotten it ... but, this is just feeling the guitar, nothing else - pure free flow of metal guitar tone through the veins. And I love 1980s thrash metal guitar sound - just listened Nuclear Assault - Trail of Tears - that guitar tone, damn. Hopefully, I will find it myself .. one day !..!

Lyrics  - so far

"I need to heal

Roaming on the empty corners of my mind – without the sign of fuckin guiding light. 

What’s 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

The endless time pushing me down –  who am I to resist – just losing my ground again,  again,  again…. fuck.
 
Years I gave you all  -  vanished like sand in storm
Years I gave you all  -  vanished

Years I gave you all  -  vanished like sand in storm
Years I gave you all  -  vanished like sand... in... the... storm

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

The Dark of Man - demo

The Dark of Man (short demo) with 2 guitars and Vocals (Lyrics)

Tapatora is a freestyle metal artist and heavily influenced by 80s melodic trash / thrash metal and progressive metal. I want to make music that feeds the soul or rips it apart.

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

My BIG4 would be along the lines of Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura and Testament. From the progressive side - Fates Warning is the go-to band.

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

THEN

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 / Warmetal 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.
