Dark Dragon 03:30
It's dark dragon! The dark dragon! Look at us - geeks - we're strong on our own. When it's time to unite, though, we grab at a straw. Everybody laying low, hiding away... why can't we build something better today?! We're a bunch of mouth breathers! We don't have a leader! We don't know each other, but we hate to be bothered! Fatherless fighters, cyberwave riders, you call us bastards! Fast-forward - masters! It doesn't matter how many punches you throw at me! I will come right back up on my feet! I will never bow down to your boring society! Even if I'm the last one of my kind! No matter what I do... even if I'm the only one doing it... I'ma keep doing it. Why am I "we", and why are you "me"? Deep down, we're the same replicating machines. The more that I think, the more that I wanna leave. But I'm not like you, and I'm not gonna flee! When you believe that you be creepy, it's all in your head! (it's all in your head) When you believe that you be freaky, it's all in the eye of the beholder! It's dark dragon, motherfucker! It doesn't matter how many punches you throw at me! I will come right back up on my feet! I will never bow down to your boring society! Even if I'm the last one of my kind! The last one of my kind! I'm the last one of my kind!

Secret Angel 03:03
He's beating up everybody. He's making them pay for their sins. He's smacking down everybody, 'cause he's an angel, and they don't know it! Maybe he'll fight you! My daemon's kinda crazy, when he goes on a frenzy. He's fighting all the time, making sure that I won't die. Maybe he'll fight you! I'm the type who keeps their feelings inside, calm and collected - never get in a fight. Cooperate and move away from attacks. Bottled up anger, but I will not crack! But when shit goes down, he'll assault! Crying, he'll throw you on the asphalt! Angel... wrath! Get 'em, Charlie! He's beating up everybody. He's making them pay for their sins. He's smacking down everybody, 'cause he's an angel, and they don't know it! Maybe he'll fight you! Come on, yeah! He's beating up everybody. He's making them pay for their sins. He's smacking down everybody, 'cause he's an angel, and they don't know it! Angel... wrath!

Get Down 03:35
Get down on the dance floor, you know how the record goes! Make a move to the groove! Let the music control you, when you breathe, to the tempo of the beat. Did i mention multiple dimensions? Time fools the mind, but ideas don't abide. Brain to tech, they ride. It's wild! Meanwhile.... Memories of the past dictate the now. Randomness overcasts all things somehow. Open your eyes - what do you see? Hatred and lies, rotting body! Come down, it's an open highway! Join us - not afraid of doomsday - no! Let bygones be bygones! You don't exist, you're like a mist - spread out in a cloud, screaming loud: "Share me"! Ants and bees make up these individuals of little Me's - expendable machines. Nobody really knows you - you're a black box! Pieces of you are nothing more than a series of distorted realities. Each competes with the other one: Spore. Millions selfish memes infect your brain. They control what you know - the true self remains. Open your eyes, externalize! What you decide is based on lies! Come down, it's an open highway! Join us - not afraid of doomsday - no! Let bygones be bygones! I know you like the way this funky beat goes! Just move your body, dance with all these hot Ho's! Let the surprise guide your real choice! Just roll the dice, hear your own voice! Come down, it's an open highway! Join us - not afraid of doomsday - no! Let bygones be bygones!

Red Pilled 03:34
I foolishly believed you'd fall for me for what I do for you, not what I am. I gave you all, babe, I busted my balls! All you provided was the will to take... All my fault! You judged me hard for my slightest faults, and in my eyes you were the perfect girl. You criticized and derided my strife. To cope, I drank and smoked - I hated life! Time for medication, Cure my infatuation, end this now! Kiss the past goodbye! Red pilled, I tried to stand my ground. But then you liked me... even less. "Bye-bye, bitch, you had a good time!" I hope I never see your face again! All my fault! Time for medication, cure my infatuation, end this now! Kiss the past goodbye! Celebrating, no longer castrated, I wiped you out, while I got wasted! Liberated from holding back hatred, it's harsh... Cause now I'm all alone... Celebrating, no longer castrated, I wiped you out, while I got wasted! Liberated from holding back hatred, it's harsh... I know it's all my fault... my fault! Time for medication, Cure my infatuation, end this now! Kiss the past goodbye!

I'm Done 03:41
I'm done, nigga! I don't wanna do any of this shit. Grab me, take me to the mall! Make me the bestest of all! I don't wanna be so small! Feed me! I will make you a believer! You consume and I deliver! Sell your best friend's liver! Cry me a fucking river! I'm done, nigga! I don't wanna do any of this shit. Work out every day! Sweat, pain and tears! Everything's the same, no reason to proceed! I will make you a believer! You consume and I deliver! Sell your best friend's liver! Cry me a fucking river! You worthless spit! Incompetent. You'll buy our shit! Because you're impotent! I'm done, nigga! I don't wanna do any of this shit. You worthless spit! Incompetent. You'll buy our shit! Because you're impotent! We are creating problems in your imagination. Profit from expectations. Fake news, misinformation. Listen! This is your story. Fact is - you will be sorry! Likely, you know we're lying! Either way, you will be buying! You will be buying! I'm done, nigga!

High Stakes 02:54
Don't know what to do. Cause I'm a fool - I lost the money! Wasted it all on you, cause I wanna look cool, and now I'm a junky! I took my money for granted, wasting it on shit I don't need. Till I lost it all - I was gambling... No luck... Fuck! Adrenaline! My heart is out of control, and I know I'm getting real close to losing it all. My savings! Jesus, save me! 12-steps - I skipped, and I tripped! I lost hope! There's no tomorrow! I'm so disowned, with nothing left to borrow! I don't know what to do, I need some money! I don't know what to do, give me the money! I'm on the street, dirty and beat. Hustle for keep, taking drugs that are cheap.. Look out! I'm in the park, scratching my dick. Yeah, I don't care for rhymes that are sick no more! I sleep in the car, I cover my scars, I dive for meals, and I steal. Don't leave your stuff hanging around I'll be behind, waiting in line - Snatch that! I lost hope! There's no tomorrow! I'm so disowned! with nothing left to borrow! I lost hope! There's no tomorrow! I'm so disowned! with nothing left to do! What am I gonna do?

No Relations 04:41
There's no relation. Everybody's going on their way. Mind alterations pointing out what we've betrayed. There's no relation, only tailer-made communication. Virtual reality extenuating cowardice! And when you're on your own, you cry! How does it feel? There's no vocation. "Get married and have a child". Miserable nation. Why'd you run into the wild? Request for creation. Trying to make babies like an illustration. Post-birth depression. Wasting cash on things that will be crapped on. There's no emotion. If there was a magic potion I could drink, I would take it. But would that make me an addict? I don't know. I'm afraid of my hatred. There's no emotion, emotions - They died! How does it feel? There's really no emotion. I lied! How does it feel? Instincts are failing. And you dream on bailing on your wife. Beating or cheating are the only options left for you. Instincts are failing. And you dream on bailing on your life. Beating or cheating are the only options left for you. Instincts are failing. Beating or cheating...

I was walking alone. I was hoping to discover some places unknown. Secrets lurking inside of my mind. With the foreign combined. Oh, yeah! I was trying to break off these four walls. It was close. I took it. Never mind it's a crime, and I wanted to be there all the time. Oh, yeah! So whatever becomes real, Get ready to be revealed! And whatever becomes real, Get ready to be revealed! Oh, yeah! When I was searching for light, I never knew that my mind could create such a sight. Now I'm shifting through clouds. Strange reflections of buildings... I'm thankful and proud. So whatever becomes real, Get ready to be revealed! And whatever becomes real, Get ready to be revealed! Oh, yeah!

Shine 03:25
I been a good girl! I been a bad girl! But now I think it's time to be my full blown self, it's fine! Take a look at this hair - do you like it? Am I here to please you and starve? Check the mirror and cry! I am here to shine for you! You are here to shine for me, too! I am here to shine for you! Hear me: Let's get down to business! This is the new me - no longer consuming! Ugly and brave - you must be scared! This ain't even my final form, watch me evolve into something completely unknown, that does not belong! Otherworldly, just odd! I am here to shine for you! You are here to shine for me, too! I am here to shine for you! Hear me: Back the fuck up! I've been fading, until I found my light! Now I'm ready! My life is here to shine! This body, this life - It's here to shine! This gal be on fire!

FOMO 03:09
Is it just me, or is inadequacy the most prevalent state in the world today that I see?! Disk full! - I'm afraid to join the cloud! I don't know how far it will go, My brain's capacity for attention is just too low! Out of RAM! - I don't wanna join the crowd! In the club! Catching up! Book-marking videos on pornhub! Ladies faces buried in their phones! No one's dancing, most of them got headphones on! FOMO! Just what the heck's been going on? What's going on? FOMO! Tell me what the f*ck's been going on? What's going on? Scrolling down into the abyss, Looking at all this sh*t - I don't get it, now I'm p*ssed! F*ck! - Now I'm being made fun of! Whatever I say, it's already yesterday. The internet search is now my church, and I pray! Maybe I should back the f*ck off!? In the club! Catching up! Book-marking videos on pornhub! Ladies faces buried in their phones! No one's dancing, most of them got headphones on! FOMO! Just what the heck's been going on? What's going on? FOMO! Tell me what the f*ck's been going on? What's going on? Ignorance is the natural state of me and you. Trying to keep up with the trends and all, But all my friends are either dead or old! Any reference that I mention now Will probably be forgotten in about an hour! And you know there's a common ground for me and you.

about

Dark Dragon Rises is our fourth long-playing release. The sound of this one evolved into something different, with each member equally contributing to the creative process, with their own ideas and influences. The style can range between alternative rock, nu metal, punk rock, hip-hop, electronicore, and of course, our signature chiptune sounds. The lyrics cover darker themes, inspired by real life events, dreams, and personal philosophy. The recording process started in the late 2018. At first we recorded the guitars at home and sent them out for reamping. Then we re-recorded them in the studio, together with Dan Valentino, to get the exact sound that we wanted. The vocals were initially recorded at ZERO Project Studio, but Sparx later rerecorded most parts in Jeng. The drums were recorded by Martimothy, who was our current drummer at the time. His parts were loosely based on the original compositions, with a lot of improvising in the studio. The bass was recorded at home with two different amps. We hired DiD Productions to push us to our limits and squeeze out the best of our abilities. It was a long and tedious process with lots of ups and downs. We went through depression, migraines, drug and alcohol abuse, relationship crises, and health scares. We were also drained financially, as the studio rent wasn't cheap, and we also had to pay the audio engineer's hourly rate. Our purpose was to create the best product that we're capable of, and we tried our best not to compromise. In Bulgaria, this turned out to be a difficult job. To find the best mixing engineer, and the best mastering engineer, we had to painstakingly listen through, and compare, different versions submitted by various engineers, played at loud volumes on various speakers. This took a lot more time than we expected. But we didn't want to disappoint, and we did not want all this effort to be wasted away on a bad mix/master. So this is the end result. After all the put downs, grinding and struggle, the dragon became dark and grim. But it rose from the ashes, transcending the physical limitations and becoming more than the sum of its parts. The dragon became a phoenix. Thank you so much for supporting us during all these years, and we hope that you will truly enjoy this album!
