The Indonesian black metal band Kekal is back! this time they bring us some cool progressive black metal with a broad kinds of vocals, the guitars works remains great, but, yes drumcomputer is used again, but it doesn't disappoint anyone if you are a follower of kekal
you know what I'm talking about.
The Monster Within is the opening song, it's pretty fast and sick, something very enjoyable to anyone's ears, and also a good way to start this album, I wonder how Jeff is able to make use of many kinds of vocals, it's a great feature only found in this album. I used to listen this song many but many times, It became one of my favorites, also Given Words and Mean Atraction as you know Mean Atraction appeared later on the Chaos And Warfare split album with Slechtvalk.
Militia Christi uses more electronic elements , than other song here. The only ballad The Painful Experience
is a nice song too, it makes use of clean vocals the most, but some shrieks are present too.Via Dolorosa is an instrumental song.
The Lyrics remains very straight with christian content. The production is just great, since Fear Dark is a very high quality label. Kekal has done it again! this is great elaborated stuff they included a booklet with lyrics,
the lyrics are awesome though. AS this album is called The Painful Experience the cover art is all about it, a stone head craked and sadly in suffering. This is really great experimental black metal, don't wait, buy it NOW!.

The Monsters Within |
|
Welcome to the
world of violence
Hear the chants of hate
Where all anger and confusion mixed down all this way
Society won't take the blame on these brutal acts
Burning people, torture, killing, what else can I say?
Blood is spilled on the ground, body laid down in
weakness
They won't hear his pleading, when they pour the
gasoline
Paid in full for a little crime, man, he's been kicked
and beaten
No more chance to escape, just wait for his last breath
Burn! Die!
Something sure must happen if law is not functioning
When the crimes are on the top, none can take it any
longer
Wilder than defined 'anarchy'
"You cops, stay away!
We are kings of own neighborhood, to protect and to
kill!"
Blood is spilled on the ground, body laid down in
weakness
They won't hear his pleading, when they pour the
gasoline
Paid in full for a little crime, man, he's been kicked
and beaten
No more chance to escape, just wait for his last breath
Burn! Die!
Worse than the animal, evil is the nature of man
Driven by sadistic plans of action, can we save
ourselves?
There is no one righteous, not even one...
What should we do to take away all these monsters
within?

Crave For Solid Ground |
It's just another extraction of
sense
Watering the troubles of order, to invert the truth
Build the empire
upon the sand
More lies behind this game, internal hollow
In this life,
anything can go too far
All shall die
See, how long it could stand on
there
With gold that won't be forever last
Feel the time's running on and
on
All those have done would be in vain
It could have been better when it
comes from the truth
Earning every penny out of sweat and tears
Above the
solid ground, those walls will stand still
The Rock makes it stronger, up
against the winds
In this life, reality tests it all
One shall live
See
which one will survive at last...
One who built it upon the rock or
sand?
When these rain, floods and winds come in
Who shall live and who
shall die?
So it's life
For those who follow the Truth
Salvation

Mean Attraction |
|
Televisions, breaking news popped out that
night
Another explosions attacked the city again
Hospitals were filled
with innocent victims
Death tolls are high, but none would down in
fear
Mean attraction, horror in sight
Spreading the terrors, to kill was
not the mission
But yet only death appears at the frontline
What lies
ahead, a situational chaos?
How far they've succeeded? None exactly
knows
Mean attraction, terror in sight
Human, the only species with
mass-murder capability
Seething with discontent
Political visions to
obscure resolutions
What reasons that stimulate madness out of these poor
brains?
Purpose never reached, when all become a part of business as usual

Like There's No Other Way to Go |
|
What life means to you my friend?
A
question asked to everyone I know
It was so simple but carries the weight of
mind
As no one wants to know and even cares about
Newspapers cover the
same stuff everyday
Wars, crimes, disasters, problems still exist
As seen
on TV and on Internet
That costs our time with all those mortal
affairs
Wondering why we should be here?
Surrounded by the literal
horrors
Should we accept this stagnant situation?
Like there's no other
way to go
Many have found their ways to live
Creating philosophical types
of reactions
Realize it's only counter-concepts
None would give a real
solution
Knowledge that comes from these crippled minds
Wars, crimes,
disasters, problems still exist
Register names on "club of
ignorance"
Partake in the state of confusion
The hearts that have been
pierced from both sides...
None shall last forever, not even this life
For
we brought nothing into this world
We cannot take anything out of the
world
Let's think about tomorrow, seek another day
Heading to the one
world beyond, keep the minds free

Behind Closed Doors |
|
It feels like our world has been pushed to the
edge
Where beauty is being exploited without the sense or respect
Billions
are doing theirs, never expecting the things
that would manifest themselves in a
time to come
With my eyes, I see you and your world is going down
The
colors fade away as black replaces all
With my eyes, I see you and your world
is going down
Images fade away as death replaces all
Put the shadow in
its place as it supposed to appear
The black shades are here beside us
As
reflections of ours when there is a light against
The antithesis of man-made
knowledge
From the void that comes through our optimisms
We've learned to
deny the potential excess
Where 'why' os taboo and 'how' is hyped
Drifting
from our very own pitiful existence
Minds that create an illusion of
accomplishment
Back from the tombs, the tragedy defines itself
Leading the
ways to nowhere, where death is at the end!
With me eyes, I see you and
your world is going down
The colors fade away as black replaces all
With
my eyes, I see you and your world is going down
Images fade away as death
replaces all
A dismal portrait of mortal life, betrayal of mankind's
existence
So many blinds ambitions with false motivations and false
directions
Caught in a cold confusion, bearing all the lies of men
I wish
I could see my future life, to look behind all these seemingly closed
doors
Illuminate me with true divine light
O' owner of the key to the
world beyond...

After the Storm |
|
Shame on me
Now I'm standing alone
When
I turn my face far behind
The shadow of yesteryears sighs
Gradually his
shape fades
Degrades under the law of time
Swallowed by the book of
memories
Forgive me for what I've committed
Many times, I fly, in the
light, in the dark
I just did it pointlessly
Reaching for something, so
distant... so alone
Dreaming for another touch
I fly so high
I just let
myself falling
Wildly drifting on the air
Marching the sounds of my inner
ill
Hear the weeping of the bleeder...
shout!
Crawls...
Reveals...
This drowning hope
Here, beneath
Many
times I give my mind a crown
And lay down, stiff unmoved and yet posed a
dying mortal flesh
Piercing the limits stretch upon my hollow painted
nest
Keep on questioning my daily breath... what a day!
No matter how
intense I strike
The anger still here and breed inside
I hate my self
hating the light
This pain I feel kills me outright
What should I do to
break this chain?
It's only you, my only strength to fight
Facing my
mirrors of ideal reality
Morning's pride arrives
Enter my two wounded
eyes
Brings her another ugliest blazing wrath
Will I keep survive under
this earth burning sun?
Why can't I seize the dusk, the only chance I give my
misery eulogy
Dear Lord, I chocked by the plans of Thee
Severely amazed,
torture in doubt
Questions I've drawn, left and forgotten
I pass the
answers, I let my light dimmed

Given Words |
|
Far from this age, from the beginning of all
creation
It has been an order...
When or where we will be called to exist
and to demise
All is in control but not ours
The law, free will, I give
you...
Know what it means: "The highest creation" given to us
Freedom and
authority
Wisdom and knowledge, an enough brain to think and to learn
To
grow with self-sufficient
The law, free will, I give you
Won't you realize
of your existence?
All is the best for you
Now as became the fallen
ones
You are unable to think even for yourselves
How can you start to
doubt Me in the minds?
Wit your hearts that turn to stone
I can understand
what pains you feel, away from My presence
I never blame you for your fragile
minds
Now I give you My Word to know Me easier
Words that fit to the
corrupted
Words that fit to the sick
Words that fit to the
disabled
Words that fit to those who doubt
Words that fit to the
ignorant
Words that fit to the weak
Words that fit to the
arrogant
Words that fit to all of us

Militia Christi |
|
Erosions of minds, bodies, and
souls...
This world's standard contaminate the life
Follow the material,
philosophical, and the religious utopias
Enslaved by the darkness, visions
become absurd
Leading to a path of death where no one shall reign
Only
regret and endless pain that exist
Overcome your illusions
Join war
against the powers
Against principalities
Spiritual rulers of this
world
The freedom has been proclaimed
A victory through the
bloodshed
By the strength of His power and might
No one else shall claim
to be the winner
The Truth is here for the living
Let it become our
influence
...And used as the armor of battle
Now, brutally we declare the
war!
Come to our reality
Join war against the powers
Against the
principalities
Spiritual rulers of this world
Militia Christi
Breaking
the rules and traditions
That kept us all in chains of ritualistic
vain
Forever change the essence of religions
Love is the new law for all
mankind
The Truth is here for the living
Let it become our
influence
...And used as the armor of battle
Now, brutally we declare the
war!

The Painful Experience |
|
Would you like to share the pain with
me?
Experience those darkest moments I once had
You have become a part of
me and I'm inside you
Reflecting all of myself through this
suffering
With pain, I have gained a victory over your death
Entered
the darkest realm to give a light for you
I was here, born as "a loser" in
the eyes of the world
Bitterness that was taken, flesh that was
torn
Would you like to feel the pain that I felt?
Experience those
darkest moments I once had
If you said that you love me and believe in
me
Won't you leave your glory and carry your cross with me?
The wound,
the blood, the torture, the mockery, the humiliation
Entered the darkest hell
to give a light for you
I was here, hanging on a tree of hate and
disgust
Bitterness that was taken, blood that was spilled
Does it
really matter now?
In this age of technology
Will you forget all my
pain?
And refuse your suffering?
A cross to take
Your cross to
take
Suffer with me
Suffer with me...
