THE BEAST

UPON SHADOWS " Fatal stigma of the realist " Date Release : October 18th./ 2017 Special participation of Matti Torro of drums Cover Art : oil painting by Ricardo Arocena Mixed and mastered by Mika Pohjola at Soundmix recording studio, Oulu, Finland. Fatal stigma of the realist talks about the inevitability of foreboding. In an infinite universe, the finitude of our existence becomes present in every moment of our lives, in our projects, in our relationships, in our way of facing life. Talks about the presence of sadness always crouching in our mind, as a result of understanding. Not from a pessimistic point of view but from realism. About the cover art: Upon Shadow´s portrait by Ricardo Arocena, (Oil painting, 2017). The portrait reflects a dark atmosphere, where good and evil complement each other in our faces. Natalia appears in all her fullness and beauty, while in my face, as in Oscar Wilde's story "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", all the evil remains captive in the portrait. We believe it is a fascinating interpretation of our essence, that at once embodies the concept of the new simple in a profound and poetic way. Lyric : - Fatal stigma of the realist. - A tear over the white paper, Draw the longing in it´s shades of gray. Sadness of awareness. Fatal stigma of the realist. A tear over the white paper, Draws the longing in its shades of gray. A tear over the white paper, Contains the music of the wounded soul. In it´s despair, fears and even in it´s silences. In the solitary stay or the multitudinous tragedy Shared, of hours, hours and days.
