Yes, pick up those bones. Wow, listening to this album now, it a been a while, makes me realize how much of Hetfield is in Niklas's voice on this album. Makes me appreciate how much he has come into his own. And like you said, a lot of Sad but true on "Miroslav" and that clean guitar solo on Nensha has a bit of "One" on it.
You really have to check out the videos for these if you haven't already; there's a good story in them. Nensha, Shadowing, Rebirth. Nikolas spent so much time on the post for this from what I understand. And you can tell....the sounds are just amazing and the atmosphere is soooo good. nice review once again!
Goodness gracious, part two has gone up a level! musically and lyrically 😛 The lyrical themes for the track "Mirrorslave" reflect a deeply disturbing relationship between the vocalist and the subject, who is their slave. The first stanza implies that the vocalist is manipulating the subject for their own gain, and promising to protect them from the consequences of their actions. The subject is shown to be addicted to something that they need to inject or consume, but the vocalist has no intention of helping them overcome their addiction. Instead, the vocalist revels in the control they have over the subject and takes pleasure in their dependency. The second stanza is similarly disturbing, with the vocalist acknowledging that they have killed the subject and yet the subject still needs them. The subject is trapped in a vicious cycle of addiction, manipulation, and dependency, with no escape in sight. The chorus of the track speaks to the subject's need for an escape from their pain and suffering. The only way out, according to the vocalist, is through more pain and fear, which will somehow make them feel sane. These lines are deeply unsettling and suggest that the vocalist is using the subject to satisfy their own twisted desires. The third stanza, with its references to crying, staring, screaming, and laughing, adds to the creepy aura of the track, suggesting that the vocalist has created a world of horror for the subject. The final stanza, with its references to strings and chains, reinforces the idea that the subject is trapped and has no control over their life. Overall, "Mirrorslave" is a powerful and disturbing song that highlights the destructive nature of addiction and dependency. It suggests that some people are willing to take advantage of vulnerable individuals for their own gain, without any thought for their wellbeing or happiness. The lyrical themes for the track "Nensha" describe a story of a person who has become sick with a demonic sickness. The sickness has been hidden in their bones for centuries and now it is coming to life. The person is leaving this world and falling through ice while being trapped in their sickness. The sickness is described as eating the skulls and drinking the blood of her victims while keeping her mind unsurfaced. The lyrics also mention a woman who is a demon and knows that someone is trespassing on her grounds. The track ends with the gates being opened and the ships leaving shores ready to strike. The lyrics are dark and metaphorical in nature. They describe the inward battle one with mental illness might face. The imagery of bones, blood, and demons are used to illustrate the struggle that takes place in one's mind when dealing with mental illness. The lyrics of Nensha may also suggest that the battle with mental illness is different from person to person and how one person fights may not be the same as another. The lyrical themes for the track "Rebirth" appear to be describing someone who has gone through extreme suffering and feels that their life is no longer worth living. The track begins with the line, "My sun, it's time to leave this world," which could be interpreted as the vocalist addressing themselves or a loved one. They express a desire to leave behind the "daylight stream" and feel the rain "through the fire hail," perhaps indicating a desire for a transformative experience. The next verse describes the character as having "lived through hell" and "walked icy plains," which may be metaphorical for the trials they have faced. They express an inability to continue living in this world, saying "I cannot take what this world gave me" and "I cannot live through this hell." However, they seem to acknowledge the impact their actions could have on others, saying "I didn't let you go so far from my heart. The lines "Put the bullet through my head and silence this hell" and "Take this life, God, I don't need it" suggest the vocalist is considering taking their own life. The final lines of the track, "In head, rewinding thoughts of death / In head, reliving daily death," reinforce this interpretation. Despite the darkness of the lyrics though, there is also a sense of hope in the idea of "rebirth" and perhaps a suggestion that there is a way out of the character's suffering ♫ United Kingdom 🇬🇧

So by the way, you’re my third favorite Aquarius lol. So majestic
Nensha is a psychic ability to burn images from one's mind onto surfaces, originating from Japan. It is featured in the Ringu movies.
Such an awesome band! Really looking forward to The Shadowing. Niklas was also recently featured on an Imminence track that was really good too.
I'll have to check out that track. Thanks for letting me know 😊
Yes, pick up those bones.

I'll watch the videos and read the lyrics once I finish the album. And yes, the atmosphere is perfect, Niklas did such a great job!

Please watch the video for Rebirth. Epic shit
You cheated yourself not watching the videos for Nensha rebirth and the shadowing. It's a story trilogy.
Ohh I didn't know it's a trilogy! I'll watch the videos when I do the lyrical analysis.
