TECHNOPAGAN (2022)

Primer larga duración para esta one man band creada a raíz de la enfermedad de Satyra la cual le ha obligado a rodearse de una seria de maniquís que interpretan las partes a las que él no puede llegar, en forma de diferentes programaciones y un elenco de luces. Es importante reseñar que estamos ante un trabajo que no encaja del todo en el black, si, podemos hablar de un black técnico, pero más bien estamos ante un proyecto en donde la electrónica y los sonidos industriales tiene un peso importante, al mismo tiempo que no se alejan contraproducentemente de sonidos extremos. Doce temas conforman el álbum, sucediéndose temas instrumentales a menudo y ofreciendo un álbum compacto, imposible de comprender de forma unitaria, tema a tema. Hablaba del peso importante que tiene la electrónica en todo el sonido de este "Technopagan", sin embargo no suena como algo del todo artificial en un álbum de metal, tanto por la creación de atmósferas que logra en un plano oscuro y demente, como el perfecto equilibrio de sus aportes en los riffs, si que es cierto que parece que todo suena programado y artificial de alguna forma, pero los riffs se adentran por terrenos agresivos y crudos, formando un conjunto totalmente casi que mantrico. Las voces, cuando hacen acto de aparición suenan graves, concisas y oscuras, pero la presencia de la instrumentación logra ocupar mucho espacio, logrando dibujar tanto un aura ambiental de oscuridad y soledad, como cuando batería y riffs van de la mano ofrecer una sección mucho más densa y agobiante, secciones que se ven acrecentadas cuando las voces hacen acto de aparición, No estamos ante un álbum de sonido black al uso, sin embargo como propuesta que tiene en la electrónica si punto de partida, se muestra concisa y competente, sorprendiendo por la capacidad de experimentar tanto con la ambientación como con las diferentes intensidades.

2. The Spark 05:03

  On the first day

And the last day

Of the world

The queer oracle

Leaps

From the center

Of a cauldron

From a fire

Kept by fey

And mortals touched by the Spark

Stir the fire

Mince the sage

Add cardamom

And time

There’s a sleeping seed

Buried deep

Beneath

The last fruiting tree

On earth

This tree will not survive

Nor will it die

Earth's brew

Feeds this seed

For rebirth

Heat the cauldron

Melt the sugar

Drink the brew

Set the spark

We are all

Just piles of mud

Mounds of flesh

Smothering the earth

Encased in stone

Statuettes,

That is

at least

Until

we feel

The Spark

4. Disabled 04:37

A recurring sense of grief A passing of myself Pushing my physical limits To face daily life Detached from my body Dissociated, numb My body keeps me safe from the physical pain of being By turning off Disability brings a repeated grief for oneself There is no reason why This is no one’s fault There is nothing you could’ve done This suffering just is Again and again Further My frail body is the ultimate teacher Stripped down to the core of myself By grieving away the parts of me I can hold no more When you can no longer do the things you considered you What are you now? When you can do nothing, What is your value? Intrinsic and infinite Yet we live in a world with a fetish for definition You can only be And that is beautiful Full of awe Powerful enough to crush any other notion I am 29 years old And I am prepared to be old, Wise, And next to death

6. Soot and Sulfur 04:48

I am A flame I’ve burned bright Burned through many a night I’ve consumed the air around me And the kindling beneath my feet I’ve burned bright For long I’ve kept alight You can tell of my passing From a lingering smell of sulfur I’ve burned hot I’ve carbonized a lot I’ve left my mark on many things My black dust that stains the world I am a flame I am a flame Burning Burning away I’ve burned hot Emblazoned all I aught When my time is over I will be but soot and sulfur When my time is over I will be but soot and sulfur I am a flame I am a flame Burning Burning away Burning Burning Burning Away

9. Antifascist Feverdream 07:12

 Fluid a liquid existence eroding the symptoms of a two party system

Gender is performative

And the whole world is a stage

But who is writing this play?

And who gave you your role anyway?

Turn this bipartisan brain into a stream of consciousness

Warpaint

I am no longer method acting anymore

I am enacting a need

My body needs to breathe

By boiling over

Boiling over

To burn the hands that feed

Us fake news and fake culture

Fake genders, it's over

Warpaint

Separate and far from equal motherfuker

Let's fudge these lines, bend over!

Prepare yourself for a new kind of water torture

Don't just think for yourself

Fucking feel, fucking do

Who are you?

Turn your bipartisan brain into an honest stream of consciousness

Warpaint

Follow the crevices through which it pours

Fill the Basin at the bottom of your soul

dry for so many years

Until you to boil over

Drown the world with the love you have always had

Drown the world with the love you have always had

Drown the world with the love you have always had

Warpaint

This warpaint you call makeup

Prepares me for war

Against a culture

That demeans faggots and whores

These are my people

We have pride

Stained lips

And Darkened eyes

Join the legions

For Today,

like every other day,

We

fight

Warpaint

11. You Cannot Live Forever 03:33

   You cannot stay forever

You hardly exist now

Your perceptions of reality

Are based on a bygone world

Beneath blankets of security

Rests the soil of this world

Viewed Like static of uncertainty

From which reality unfurls

The grasping at the fabric

Only helps it be undone

Do not fight your undoing

It is your making

Mourning transformation

Grieve Your passings with pride

Accept what is to come

The you on the other side

12. My Body Is Failing Me 07:26

My hands are heavy ghosts

My face is filled with needles

My arms have fallen asleep

And they won’t wake up

My leg burns from no fire

My hand can’t hold yours back

I cannot itch deep enough

The world feels dull through my fingers

But Don’t touch me it will hurt

There is no reason why

The suffering just is

My body is failing me

My body is failing me

My body is failing me

My body is failing me

Will I die?

Or decompose

With my eyes wide open?
