Asymmetric / Redux [Demo 2005]

by art of simplicity

supported by

Hayduke X Interesting prog rock that takes some dark turns. Favorite track: Nothing.

geff02 AoS first demo album was the reason to follow their work from 2005 since today. Melodic and powerful from day one. Α band that knows how to create progressive music and how to elevate it on each of their albums. Thank you! Favorite track: A Search for Numb.

maroutas Big fan of AoS's work I'm glad I got my hands on the remastered demo with this beautiful redesigned cover. Demos are always interesting for the musical connoisseur, they give a glimpse of what the band can be, enhanced with a raw energy typical for these early releases. In this case what you get is solid prog rock/metal with gripping atmosphere and haunting violin passages.

2.	Looks from the Mirror 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Look yourself in the mirror What will you see? Perhaps a familiar mask What have you been What have you made Broke myself to thousand pieces Cleared my mind from all my wishes I looked at the path of my past Actions reflected from my heart Looks from the mirror My inverted soul revealed Looks from the mirror Baptized in what I have done Signs from the terror I was not the bloody one As I Walked through this new dimension I had to find my successor Then I saw the vision clearer And the fear came so much nearer I' m just like the hunter! Waiting for my spyder to come To release me from my choice Maybe Devil wants me Whispers lusts in my mind But I' ll rise from the depth To find my fallen pride The root of all these thoughts A soul of kindness and morality Person that I love most Give me a sign of your insanity
3.	A Search for Numb 06:58	lyrics	buy track
Flying in the deep blue sky Looking at the world Walking the roads to oblivion Never seek the path of happiness Every inch of this farm filled with roses All the Heaven's stars tear yourself apart Still believing in movies And the fairytales The childhood never ended It' s only just begun Dreams of fear and lust Are always coming back It doesn't matter what you see I' ll give you all my insanity Exposed naked in the sea Of inner ecstasy Forget the pain for a moment All you need is just a comment Take a bath in the purgative water Water so hot that is freezing Drink the tears of your hate Tears so cold that are burning Pills filled with promises And addictive grass Give a joyful instance And a horrible continuity So go to your heart And taste the hardest drug It doesn't matter what you see I' ll give you all my insanity Exposed naked in the sea Of inner ecstasy
4.	Nothing 05:08	lyrics	buy track
I want to fly to the moon And watch this world Filled with magic i will make Earth swim, and touch the sun I will observe all the fools burn In a fiery hell Someday called home Then my laugh will be heard throughout the universe And my throne in the moon Will be the beginning My empire is the world A point in the map of nothing All the galaxies are my kingdoms All the stars are my treasures Into a piece of paper In the dot from a pencil I can see planets falling And suns be born I grow the world and found the end As the endless everything seems so pent Comets spawn a new kind Species proceeded by my own mind A point of nothing is my home Nowhere is where it is built Architects and mechanics make my day Endless darkness are the days in space The dot that i live is starting to fade For that i' ll conquer whatever you made I divide all the sites as i give life again And reform my realm preparing for the end My empire is the world A grain of sand in the endless beach

about

On June 25, 2005, Art of Simplicity released their first demo. It was awarded the title "demo of the month" on various music magazines of the time. 17 years later, the demo is remastrered and reintroduced to the audience!

A remix wasn't possible, because the stem files can't be found so you're getting all the mistakes of the original and the weird mixing decisions, but with an updated sound result!
