Track Comments by Christopher

"The Truth About Lies"shows our time as it is. Lots of lies and deception, not only in life,also in music, among the bands. Envy, dirty lies. One can work very hardfor a long time, then comes someone who lies about you and a lot of peopleare influenced by it even if it's not true. You can't deny anybody theirown words, but how many times you lie to yourself, lie about lies...?

"Unnecessarity"sometimes one finds itself in a difficult situation and the reality oflife is a problem for them. They are ties, chained and don't know how toget on, nothing goes the way they would like it to. This happens veryoften.

"Short Report On The Ritual Carnage"basically a song describing a slaughterhouse. An extreme, but excellentidea - to put man into surroundings, where this song takes place.

"Tears, Hope And Hate"you want what you cannot have, you are in reach... you shout without aresponse, cry without tears, are afraid without fear... This song isstylewise similar to ones from the previous album; a classical deathmetal thing.

"Pain Of Bleeding Hearts"is basically about people nobody cares about. They have a problem withtheir body, for instance, and you have to close your eyes while looking atthem. They become just human shells, crying for help. They cannot manifesttheir own feelings, which may not be answered.

"Rebirth Of Blasphemy"sheer heretic lyrics, dealing with heresy in deep. There is a truth aboutfaith here, which can manipulate masses into false belief. A judgement ofChritian fanaticism, which can become very dangerous. This is not only abelief into something imaginary but an organization of people.

"Imperator (Strikes Again)"a very old song, recorded first in 1988. It still has something to say andwe had an idea of using it on "Lies". It has a new look and the fans stillwant it.

"Stonedream"even dreams can be very hard. Sometimes, a dream is so persuasive, thatone can tell, when awake, whether it was reality or really a dream.

"Believe..."is an instrumental song. I can say that playing guitar has become a drugfor me; when I play just for myself, I make some instrumental things,too. I try to put my mood an things I have in mind all the time into them.I didn't want to include this song anywhere, I just wanted to record it.Bruno went very enthusiastic about the song and so we put them on therecord, although I was a bit hesitant about it. Now I am glad it's there;fans like it.
