Music to me is a beautiful noise which can evoke so many type of emotions. The fact that people who don't speak your native language can also have the same reactions attest to the power of music. With that being said, I'm going to go song by song and describe what the meaning behind each is. I apologize if I go to deep in advance haha.
1) Rejection, Injection: This is the intro to the EP. I wanted to create a dark atmosphere that throws the listener into an addict's mind preparing their dosage not knowing this is could be the last one.
2) Mortal vs Immortal: I've pictured your typical final battle between a mythical strong mortal and a God. As the battle is quick so is the song but it paints the picture of the battlefield and the fight.
3) A Hero's Journey: Going back to the last song. The idea came from a medieval epic adventure, starting with the journey till the final epic moment of the adventure. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan so the song is in three parts.
4) Lost At Sea: Very distant and dark sounding song painting the picture of a sailor who is in the middle of ocean staying afloat on a piece of his ship that had sunk. All the crew has perished except for him. He knows he will probably not make it back to land, so under the moonlight he thinks of his lover back on land and the choir sings his final message to her.
5) Heroin: This is the oldest of the songs regarding it's creation. This one is the darkest and deepest, meaning I won't say much about it's meaning. However I will say this song relates to the darkest parts of a person's life and them going through their "final" stages of their existence.
6) I'm Death: In short this is the Grim Reaper's theme. The theme is very heavy with guitars and drums. The first part is the arrival of the Grim Reaper which leads to the second part, him taking you away.
7) Funeral for the Conductor: This is Part 1 of 2 for the little story on this EP. The conductor dies a lonely death and then instead of going to heaven he goes to hell and meets the Devil, (Devil's theme is in this song). The Devil wants him to become the Conductor of his Orchestra. This leads to the last part of the song which is the choir singing about the Devil's newly appointed Conductor.
8) Hell's Orchestra: Part 2 of 2 of the story. The Conductor starts understanding through the music the members of his orchestra write, about how miserable and beat down they are. The first half is the Members of the Orchestra's theme, leading to the Conductor assembling an army to take on the Devil to change authority in Hell.
9) No Mercy for the Faithful: The first half of this song is a child in the Middle East looking out seeing that war is getting closer and closer. In the second half, the child is standing in the middle of the street watching as everything the child loves is being destroyed. I wanted to paint the picture of the chaos an innocent person faces in the Middle East. They are so faithful to their beliefs but their own kind disregards this and has no mercy, thus killing them.
