I, Da Witchfinder Tech trash of the insane, homemade variety. Bought this album from Jose's website back when it first came out (#33 of 50; no, thank YOU Jose for making such banging music) in 2009. Over a decade later, still play it regularly and buying it again cause it's that good. Favorite track: My Own Hell.

Human 05:04
lyrics
THE CONSCIENCE: (verse 1) It's time to hate the world, Human world of domination! Think, if Earth could talk just would need only a word: Nooo! What are we doing around us? Right here! Right now! Right Taking everything, Consuming all the life, Parasiting the fate Now you know what's the human race! THE NATURE: (chorus) Human! When will you stop your hungry devastation, human?! Human! Thousands of years spreading like a virus, human! Human! Always feeding your machinery of madness, human! Human! But one day you will not... (pre-digression) Saw my lungs! Rot my veins! Rape my entrails! Ohhh! (digression) Someday You will kill the last forest, And then you, you won't be able to breathe and to live Someday You will kill the last of me, But then you, Then you will die and I will be reborn free! And you won't be, Human! THE CONSCIENCE: (verse 2) Our hunger is out of control We can not stop our destruction! Face the coming future Just we'll need that same word: Nooo! What were we doing in the past? Right there! Right then! Right Wasting everything, Destroying all the life, Parasiting our fate Now you know what's the human race! THE NATURE: (chorus) Human! When will you stop your hungry devastation, human?! Human! Thousands of years spreading like a virus, human! Human! Always feeding your machinery of madness, human! But one day you will not... (coda) You will not Saw my lungs! Rot my veins! Rape my entrails!

lyrics
[«First part»] Love / Hate! (verse) No love, No hate, My heart Has not got blood and fire! No help, No faith, My mouth Has not got smiling fat words! Don't have to kill me, I am One more of starving thousand's! No smile, No words, My mouth Is trying to eat the tongue! (chorus) Eat the tongue! Eat your tongue! (chorus) Eat the tongue! Eat your tongue! [«Bastard Nations» part] (digression, verse) Try to eat your tongue, I promise you can do it. Easy thing if you don't eat day by day. Try the tongue, your fucking tongue, so bloody and healthy muscle. Bite, uproot with teeth and dig, come on, piece by piece. (digression, chorus) Bastard nations, (nations of hipocrisy and filth) Try to eat your tongue, You'd never be the same. Bastard nations, (nations of hipocrisy and filth) Try to eat your tongue, I'd never be the same.

(verse 1) Argh! Argh! Another day I wake up dead, 'cause despite I breathe, my legs are so tired I can not get up to keep your swing. Anyway I'm here, my sweet love, waiting for your return, moved, excited and counting the seconds, trying to raise and get on... Let's dance! (pre-chorus) BORN to beat my face! BORN to kick my head! BORN to teach my child! BORN to break my faith! BORN to rot my heart! BORN to kill myself! (chorus) Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! (verse 2) One day you brought the hate at home, everything began. First your insults and reproach, later the despise was. I learnt to dance your swing of love, taking as own my role. Everyday I yearned for the change of all, stupid and guilty I was... Let's dance! (pre-chorus) BORN to beat my face! BORN to kick my head! BORN to teach my child! BORN to break my faith! BORN to rot my heart! BORN to kill myself! (chorus) Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! (digression) Woman, you do know that he's not going to change for you decide, as the first time, if to dance! Victim of his frustrations, accomplice of domination, fight or just be a number more of stadistics! Fight! Hit her! I'm not possession of your fist! Beat her! I'm not the face of your shit! Watch you! Venom, pestilent virus! Turn you! REMEMBER YOUR VILE ATTITUDE! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! (verse 3) Argh! Argh! Another day I wake up dead, 'cause despite I breathe, my legs are so tired I can not get up to keep your swing. A long time ago we began to dance and we haven't stopped yet. How many years, my sweet love? How much more remains? Let's dance! (pre-chorus) BORN to beat my face! BORN to kick my head! BORN to teach my child! BORN to break my faith! BORN to rot my heart! BORN to kill myself! (chorus) Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! Swing of your love! Argh! (coda) Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!

Into the Pit (Testament cover) 03:40
lyrics
(verse 1) Deep in the pit and lying alone Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad, the worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest! Go! Go! Go! Go!... (verse 2) Foul plays of passion at twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence is now your past! (chorus) Join the insanity or die as your fall INTO THE PIT! The mass production and the killing of all INTO THE PIT! The future screams, the life is fading away INTO THE PIT! The world tomorrow, will it die for today? Into the Pit! (digression, new part) All your dreams, the first kiss and tears, Everything you have been is going to disappear Every thought, every word, every wast for years So think right now what you are doing with your life (verse 3) So in the sad silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter and boundless cries So Here I wander under infinite skies! (chorus) Join the insanity or die as your fall INTO THE PIT! The mass production and the killing of all INTO THE PIT! The future screams, the life is fading away INTO THE PIT! The world tomorrow, will it die for today? Into the Pit!

You! You! (digression) You, The Mindless Blind Daemon! Boundless Lord of All! Amorphous Blight of Primal Pain! Crawling Chaos of Hate! I summon you to... Kill! Them! (verse A) Azathoth, The King of Gods, Nuclear Void of Cosmos Bleeding are my fleeting sockets, Take and burst my eyeballs! Let my pain be witness! Let my blindess sing! Rape my body and break my soul! But destroy this world! (chorus) Wake from your nightmare! Break all of your chains! Chain the human race! Enslave the consciousness! Grave for the opponent! Bane of the innocent! Crawling Chaos of Hate! (chorus) Wake from your nightmare! Break all of your chains! Chain the human race! Enslave the consciousness! Grave for the opponent! Bane of the innocent! Crawling Chaos of Hate! Hate! (verse B) Azathoth, Killing of All, The Great Old One Beyond the Spheres of the Universe, Am- putate my hands, my legs and everything I have been and drink My brain and all my entrails gnowing from my inside You, my Eternal Pain Doomsday, for human race, I will be the first one, and then the world! You!

Two Worlds (bonus track - 2009 edition) 06:17
lyrics
(verse 1) You are enslaving me and never forget that pain How many tears you need, now?! Playing with destiny, laughing at all my pride, Doomed to insanity again (verse 2) Rounded by vermins made puppets for power, Who betray you today? The herd says nothing, the shepherd dictates, World that sinks into greed (bridge) My life is suffering, my dreams are frustrated This time your hypocrisy ends it today (verse 3) Rage grows inside me, all feelings are burning, Destroying the hope of my heart Memories of good times are rotted in my head, Brainwashing that controls the swarm (verse 4) Don’t let your spirit falls into the nether, Don’t let your soul corrodes Blood in my mind exploding inside, Calling the storm on myself (brdige) My life is suffering, my dreams are frustrated This time your hypocrisy ends it today (chorus) Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I can not live that life Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I will jump to the void (verse 5) Look at the storm, suicide of the soul Look then to all around me The hope is missing, nonsense in resisting The sorrows blind my eyes (bridge) My life is suffering, my dreams are frustrated This time your hypocrisy ends it today (chorus) Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I can not live that life Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I will jump to the void (digression) Jump with me! Die with me! Into the void! (chorus) Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I can not live that life Your world! My world! And a large hole between us Your world! My world! I will jump to the void (digression/coda) Jump with me! Die with me! Die with me! Die with me!

about

First release in June 2009.

This re-release: 10 years anniversary edition of 2019. Remastered and with all the bonus tracks from the 2009 (original release) and 2010 editions.

This is my second recording under the pseudonym of Cautiva, a technical and progressive thrash metal project in which I play all the instruments (guitars, bass, drums programming and vocals; except for guest musicians in very limited cases), in the style of "one man band".

This album makes part of the mistakes found in «Fire, Walk With Me!» (EP/demo, 2008) -poor production and still a poor technology to record correctly this style of music in-the-box- , but it's one of the recordings of which I'm proudest. While the previous EP did not show a clearly defined style, this album shows an evident direction, musical and lyrically. This direction is very specific: technical and progressive thrash metal, with a lot of aggressiveness. On the other hand, I think the music is rather good, and I enjoyed a lot recording this. I felt inspired since the first minute and everything flowed very well. It was a great experience in my memory.

After recording 2 or 3 songs for this album, I forgot my idea of making a band for the Cautiva project and I thought to return for a time to my old style and ideas (about piano, minimalism, romanticism, neo-classical music and so on). I had this idea while I was preparing the 3 CD-Box «A Retrospective: The Early Years – 1994​-​2003» with old stuff. Finally, the Cautiva project was going to a secondary place and didn't grow much more. This is a thing with which I'm not happy :-(, but I had to choose.

I remember that this album was very well received by the tech/prog thrash metal community. It was nice :-)

What about credits, I make some tributes in this album:

The beginning of the track #7 is a tribute to Chuck Schuldiner and the band Death, making a variation on the opening of the song «Spirit Crusher» (1998).

This same track, #7, has 8 guitar solos at the end. Here I make a tribute to Muhammed Suiçmez and the band Necrophagist (solos #1, final of #3, and #5 are taken from this band). The rest of the solos are mine.

Track #8 is a Testament cover (1988), but the end of this track is the beginning of the song «Bonded By Blood» by Exodus (1983).

More credits:

All music and lyrics by José Travieso, except noted.

Track #10, co-written partially with Sergio Rubal and David Iglesias in 2005 (old composition never recorded from a different project, in a new 'Cautiva-ed' version). Lyrics by Sergio Rubal. Vocals by Sergio Rubal. It's a bonus track.
