by Jose Travieso

[INTRO] Thirty years ago the final war began. At the beginning it was just one more war between two nations, But slowly it turned in a global storm of chaos, devastation and death. [SECTION 1] WAR! Bleeding horror! Apocalyptic race! Day by day! Doomsday! Never it'll stop, No hope, Only my death is my rest The hell is no place for a kid What I did! [SECTION 2] When you live in hell, A piece of love is Eden Yesterday she and I felt like gods; Today, rats... So wretched rats [SECTION 3] Vile. Week. Insane. There is no change Tears! Welcome my son This is the world I have spun... for you Act of love Sadistic thorn Fears! [SOLOS] Die my son! [SECTION 4] My son, Hopeful source that I've dried up, Every gift, every thought to live You, who were once my own will Forgive These hands full of your blood and my filth, All my blame, all my sins and shame Please, forgive my so awful being You don't deserve all this pain Which would be reserved for all the bad men You don't need to be corrupted By the madness of the world's greed [SECTION 1, REPEAT] WAR! Bleeding horror! Apocalyptic race! Day by day! Doomsday! Never it'll stop, No hope, Only my death is my rest The hell is no place for a kid What I did!

Freaks! 05:21
[SECTION 1] You! Hey! Look at my face! Look up, stop your phone, show you have brain! Raise your head and look at me again, vain Try to face up because... You're a freak! I said... freak! Big dumb smile Shooting up! Lost-looking eyes Finger tic! Fear of missing out Watch again! Your smartphone, your cage! [SECTION 2] Raise your head Try to raise your fucking head Try to behave yourself, you're a fake Of what you were, What you could be All day wasting your time Waiting for one more chime Don't you feel all that shame? Phone addiction is your name [SECTION 3] Life is what is happening while you are watching your screen! Raise your head, look at me! Talk to me now Wake up and show me you are not a zombie! Rise up! Rise up against the nonsense! Try again! Argh! [SECTION 4] Obey the word of the herd! Prey just taking your phone Bend down, your new god has come Yeah! What kind of human being are we creating today giving way to the decay? [Bridge] Just try to face up again! Reduce your consume! [SECTION 5] Don't you know how to enjoy the real world? All of you are a peripheral of your phone? Why don't you try to see all the disease? Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! A lot of freaks! Hey, look at me! [Bridge + CODA] Okey, don't look at me then I'm giving up I'm tired of you Let your phone to control even your soul I leave!

about

First release in July 2015.

This re-release: 2020 remaster.

This is the third and farewell (at least for a long time*) recording for Cautiva, my technical and progressive thrash metal project in which I play all the instruments (guitars, bass, drums programming and vocals), in the style of "one man band".

[ *In 2022 I released a final additional track, "I Am The Omega", and I closed definitely the project ]

Of all my projects, Cautiva has probably been my favorite one, so wild and technically excessive, but it's very very demanding in time and energy, so I decided to put a long parenthesis in 2014, maybe even forever... Then I had in mind to start to work in a new period -and probably long- of electronic exploration and I thought it would be a good moment to finish with Cautiva recording some new music. Though this recording was the farewell of the project, I never discarded the idea of recording something else in the future (a track or something like that)... This was real when in 2022 I released the final additional track "I Am The Omega".

For this EP, "The Archangel Of Omega", I initially wanted to record 3 or 4 songs, but finally the number was 2. I tried my best with both songs and they were so complex that I needed a lot of time to finish them. On the other hand, I wasn't lucky in the recordings and I had a lot of problems of hardware, software, health (voice)... The process of work was awful and after finishing the second song I said "it's enough for me!"; I decided at all not to record more tracks for such a f*cking EP. Hahaha!

I have wanted to release each song in two different versions: original version (with vocals) and instrumental version (without vocals of course, but also slightly different).

Not many minutes of music, but if you like Cautiva, I think you'll like this stuff. I tried to transmit the purest essence of the project.
