about
‘The Infinite’ is the third of a series of new songs leading up to Kassogtha's upcoming concept album rEvolve.
Mortimer elaborates:
‘This was the first song written in the rEvolve writing process. In fact, its first iteration was created when the band was working on their previous EP, The Call. “The Infinite” is now one the most, if not the most, brutal songs of the album. As the opening track, we wanted to let our audience immediately know what we are up to now. Progressive DEATH Metal. The song grabs people by the throat with a no fuss blast beat intro followed by chaos and intensity that barely stops until the end of the song.’
...and Stephany comments on the song’s lyrics:
‘It is right here, next to you, and it’s taking you on a trip to your deepest fears and anger. Will you choose to follow the path it’s trying so hard to draw you to? Oh, you will, for sure…
“THE INFINITE" drags us into a world of uncertainty and madness. Only one thing shines in the dark and gives a little hope: a presence, imperceptible, which inevitably draws us towards a path that could be fatal unless it’s the deliverance we’ve been waiting for so long…’
lyrics
Wrapped inside decay
I am crawling again
Waiting to feel
A drop of life within my heart
Without remembering how it hurts
Run
(Bearing the ups and downs)
It’s just begun
(That seep through the soul)
Run
(Slowly consuming)
Until it’s done
(All that is fragile)
This imperceptible force is leading me
To a world that I cannot see
What will become of me?
In this endless renewal
I’m starting to feel
Like I’ve been here before
Waiting to hear
The voice of hope guiding my heart
Without remembering how it sounds
Something is all around me
But I can’t see
This imperceptible force is leading me
To a world that I cannot see
What will become of me?
In this endless renewal
Would this be my last chance? (My last chance)
To flee before it ends
Would this be my last chance (My last chance)
To fight and get out of it
All by myself
I tried to find you
I know it’s been you
I would have known
How to make sense of it
I should have thought
About who I wanted to be
Would this be my last chance?
(To flee before it ends)
Would this be my last chance?
(To fight and get out of it)
This imperceptible force is leading me
To a world that I cannot see
What will become of me?
In this endless renewal
I tried to find you
I know it’s been you
