'Phase IV' and the idea behind 'The Eerie Void Inside'

Hey folks,

I'm going to give you some details on our forthcoming album now. 'The Eerie Void Inside' is based on a kind of concept revolving in my head for a few weeks. This so called story is about a quite normal person getting unreal intentions by some voices he can't assign yet. These voices are getting more and more human until the main actor is not able to be present anymore, except the fact that he still got his body which is quite unimportant if the ability of thinking was stolen in some way. In this process he has to live through different phases that include self-destruction, murder, a lot of hate and sorrow and even some sparks of hope and his will to fight.

While we industriously were writing and recording our new songs we also had the idea of not barely releasing the album as it is expected. If it is possible we would like to bring this very own story to paper and release it as some kind of addition to make it possible that the listener is able to feel and imagine how it is to live like the person in this story which is a very important fact to us. So if we get the opportunity we will sure do so, but yet it is unfortunately still some kind of reverie.

Furthermore we decided to upload another track called 'Phase IV' which gives some clues on the story and the intensity of the torture the actor is suspended to. At this point we are now also able to present the front cover of T.E.V.I.! In our opinion this cover perfectly reflects the story. We would be pleased if you give us a few sentences about what you like and, of course, what you dislike about the whole thing.

Regards,

V. / Metakognition

Ich bin in Dir!

Hi Folks, the second song of our forthcoming album >The Eerie Void Inside< was uploaded on our MS-Page, too. The song's called 'Ich bin in Dir' and lasts at least 5.27. Have fun & Cheers.

Lyrics:

Die Tür geht auf. Ein Flackerlicht, es blitzt dir in dein Gesicht.
Wo bist du? Du weißt es nicht? Der erste Schlag geht ins Gesicht.
Herzlich Willkommen, ich bin dein Sein, also bringt dir laufen nichts.
Spiel mein Spiel, dann passiert dir nichts. Spielst du's nicht. Schuss ins Genick.

Helfen wollt' ich dir, doch du setzt dich zur Wehr.
Dich alleine gibt es nicht und wird es nimmermehr.
Ich zeig' dir, was es heißt, sein Leben zu leben.
Ich zeig' dir, was es heißt, ein Leben zu nehmen.

Du weißt, wie es ist, wenn das weiße Licht auf dich zukommt und der Schweiß ausbricht.
Du weißt, wie es ist, wenn ein Traum zerbricht und zurück bleibt nur der Schaum der Gischt.

Du hast die Qual, doch keine Wahl.
Von Bedeutung bist du nicht.
Du bist egal, ich bin final
und ab jetzt dein Augenlicht.

Du weißt, wie es ist, wenn das weiße Licht auf dich zukommt und der Schweiß ausbricht.
Du weißt, wie es ist, wenn ein Traum zerbricht und zurück bleibt nur der Schaum der Gischt.

Ich bin hier, um dein Ich zu jagen.
Ich bin in dir, um dein Ich zu begraben.

The Eerie Void Inside!

So, after leaving behind some internally bothering problems Metakognition is finally back. As some kind of kick we've done >The Eerie Void Inside< which was already uploaded on our myspace page. You also have the possibility to feel the >Eerie Void> right here on our blog if you use the RN-Player on the right. So have a listen and try not to hesitate to contact us because of whatever the fuck you think about it. >The Eerie Void Inside< is also the working title of our forthcoming album on which we are woking now.


Lyrics

You've been there, got lost, but you've grown to face the eerie void.
You're here to inhale the eerie void inside your head.
The door is closing and it crawls up your neck. It drags you down
to your knees to infect you with its disease.

Nothing to lose, no way to choose. Only one solution to choke these moods.

Endlessly crawling to cross when you're down.
Time to give up and cross the line.
Inside yourself you broke yourself.
Rest in deeds and kill yourself.
Endlessly keeping your thoughts in your mind.
No more options, but to hide.
Inside yourself you killed yourself.
Now rest in fucking deeds and kill yourself.

Whatever you do, whatever you try.
Wherever you go - Stay calm, stay calm.
Wherever you look, whoever you see.
The fucking song goes BREAK DOWN, BREAK DOWN.

Stay calm, stay calm. The fucking song goes BREAK DOWN, BREAK DOWN.

Only one solution to choke these moods.

Endlessly crawling to cross when you're down.
Time to give up and cross the line.
Inside yourself you broke yourself.
Rest in deeds and kill yourself.
Endlessly keeping your thoughts in your mind.
No more options, but to hide.
Inside yourself you killed yourself.
Now rest in fucking deeds and kill yourself.

Metakognition - Amok


Siehst du? Fliehst du? Stirbst du wieder?
Du bist niemand. Komm schon, hier her.
Mach schon, greif zu. Nimm sie zur Hand.
Waffe geladen, bereit fuer deinen Untergang.


Hoer' zu! Schau her! Ich bin in dir.
Du bist wertlos und nun folge mir.
Verhalt' dich gehorsam und tue deine Pflicht.
Waffe geladen, Schuss ins Gesicht!


Das ist kein Spiel. Die Nacht, sie wird laenger.
Augen wie Feuer, ein Wille aus Stahl.
Lebtest dein Leben, wie Steine im Wasser.
Schreibst eine Liste, eine Liste der Qual.
Das ist dein Weg, der Morgen wird kommen.
Wirst nervoes, deine Uhr, sie tickt.
Außer Kontrolle, es gibt kein Zurueck mehr.
Hass ist es, der den Abzug drueckt.


Panik macht sich breit - Es ist deine Zeit.
Wahnsinn beschleicht dich kalt - Mach sie alle kalt.
Siehe da, noch ein Treffer - Mach schon, toete schneller.
Leichen weit und breit - Amok! Amok, dein Geleit!


Das ist kein Spiel. Die Nacht, sie wird laenger.
Augen wie Feuer, ein Wille aus Stahl.
Lebtest dein Leben, wie Steine im Wasser.
Schreibst eine Liste, eine Liste der Qual.
Das ist dein Weg, der Morgen wird kommen.
Wirst nervoes, deine Uhr, sie tickt.
Außer Kontrolle, es gibt kein Zurueck mehr.
Hass ist es, der den Abzug drueckt. (2x)

Booklet is done.

Yay, the artwork is already done. It was conceived and realized by Markus Stöcker(Information and contact).

Modern Holocaust

Day 2 of our recording session has begun. We've already finished 2 tracks and are well-prepared to continue. A few hours ago, "Modern Holocaust" was recorded. A quite untypical Metakognition track but nevertheless we're proud of it and it sounds just as we expected it to sound. The lyrical theme also differs in a quite special way, but well... have a look for yourself..


Metakognition - Modern Holocaust



Who are you and where are we?
Yesterday you found your brother laying dead on the street..
Who are you and where are we?
Buy some drugs, get a gun.
You are the next to be free.
Won't you see? You want more?
Rent a slut and get fucked and finally shot by that whore.
Won't you see? You want more?
Fuck some kids and you'll become a fucking TV-HOST.



Lost in Time
You don't want to fight anymore
Lost in Time
Fighting life is enough war
Lost in Time
No more dreaming of angels & stardust
Lost in Time
No more modern Holocaust



Who am I? Am I there?
In a world, where no peace but many drugs are shared.
Tell my why should I cry,
when I can dream about getting lost in time..

Spiegel

Hi folks,

we finally started the recording session of our forthcoming Album "Demo(ns)." We already finished the first track called "Spiegel."
"Spiegel" features Markus Stöcker (Leichenbrand) as a guestsinger and a tiny Tribute to Dissection with a covered snippet of their outrageous "Night's Blood."

Enjoy!

Metakognition - Spiegel



Regards.

Metakognition "Demo(ns)" finished soon.

Well, that's it...Metakognition is finally online. In a few days we'll finish the recording of our first album, which will probably run under the banner "Demo(ns)." Unfortunately, the tracklist isn't sure at all, but we'll change that as soon as possible.
We are quite lucky to present the prospective frontcover below, which was made by Markus Stöcker (Thanks a lot).


Cheers.
