The idea of battling inner demons, finding strength in moments of despair, and ultimately triumphing over adversity felt universal and deeply personal at the same time. It's about capturing those silent battles we all face, whether it's mental health, relationships, or societal pressures.”
They continued, “Our goal was to create a soundscape that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of the album's themes. We balanced the heavy riffs to represent aggression and struggle with haunting melodies to capture vulnerability and introspection. The songwriting process was very intentional—allowing each song to breathe and evolve naturally while ensuring the contrasts felt cohesive.” -
The band explained track-by-track for the album.
“Barely Surviving”
“This song describes the severe ordeal of an event that leaves deep scars, the near breaking under the burden, and the arduous road to recovery. Despite the exhaustion, there is a sense of accomplishment for having survived and become stronger.”
“On The Edge Of Fear”
“This song builds tension through the constant threat of danger, without it already striking. The sense of impending doom, the fear of the unknown, and the uncertainty of when it will strike make this an intense and compelling heavy metal song. Perfect for capturing that tension and threat you feel before everything erupts.”
“The War Within”
“This heavy metal song is about inner struggle and how the greatest resistance often comes from within. The powerful lyrics and fighting against yourself fit the genre well, with a message of victory through inner strength.”
“Fighting The Storm”
“This song conveys the intense struggle of life combined with the promise that fighting will be rewarded in the end.
Perfect for a heavy metal vibe with raw emotion and energy!”
“Silent Struggle”
“This song emphasizes the inner conflict of someone fighting against their own chaos, while others want to offer help, but the fear of being vulnerable prevents them from accepting that help. The theme of isolation, hiding pain, and the struggle to break free from those inner shackles fits perfectly with the intensity of heavy metal.”
“Unleash The Beast”
“This song revolves around the intense anger that bubbles up, the moment when you decide to release your inner demons, and the sense of strength and liberation that comes with it. It exudes the energy and aggression of heavy metal, with a powerful message of strength and determination. The second bridge deepens the sense of power and control you experience when you release your anger and demons. The theme of unstoppable power and the desire to conquer the world remains present, with an increasing emphasis on transformation and finding fulfillment in the midst of chaos.”
“Let Me In”
“This song revolves around wanting to help someone who has changed after returning home, despite the person trying to hide his or her feelings. It emphasizes the will and desire to connect, support and gain trust, with a powerful message of empathy and support.”
“Should I Fight Or Let Go”
“This song captures the struggle between surrender and resistance to those who try to control you. It explores the question of whether to fight for your freedom or let go and surrender to the pressure, with a constant tension and energy that fits heavy metal perfectly.”
“Rising From The Ashes”
“This song is about regaining strength after setbacks, letting go of problems, and renewed energy to fight for what you want. It is a battle song for personal rebirth, perfect for a powerful heavy metal setting.”
“Found In The Flames”
“This metal song is about finding strength in each other and overcoming the past and pain together. The heavy riffs and intense vocals perfectly fit the theme of rebirth and strength through connection.”
“Healing Through Time”
“This song describes the process of healing after a hard battle, where time is the key to leaving the pain and wounds behind. The theme emphasizes the strength to move on, to heal and find a new path after a difficult journey, perfect for a heavy metal setting with emotional depth.”
“In The Light Of Your Wisdom”
“This song describes surrendering to someone who helps you conquer your inner struggles, leads you to the light and allows you to grow through love and wisdom. It is about the balance between strength and vulnerability, and the power of love that helps guide you.”
“Victory's Cost”
“This song emphasizes the tragic feeling of winning, but with a loss that outweighs the victory itself. The story of someone achieving everything, but losing people (and themselves) in the process, fits perfectly with the heavy and emotional side of heavy metal.”
“The Bitter Aftertaste”
“This song captures the feeling of post-victory emptiness, where the euphoria of battle fades and an inner void remains. It's about the disappointment of not finding fulfillment after reaching the top, and longing for the adrenaline that fighting gave.” - source : Apple Music
