Veni Vidi Vici

by Akiavel

sashavonkarl74 French Akiavel is a lady-vocalist- powered war machine delivering fine melodeath bombs with industrial but also black metal elements; and such a blend always pumps me with bursts of adrenaline, after which I want to break things. Aurélie is a beast with her growls, and overall the album is really addictive!! This is their 3rd LP and they are about to release a new opus soon ("InVictus", with Verycords), also CD distro with Season of Mist on March 14th... pre-order here I come :) Favorite track: Witchcraft.

Elased In my eyes, Akiavel represents a high point of modern death metal! Rough, raging, hard, relentless, with a breathtaking female singer - and last but not least one of the most charismatic bands I know.

faboo It's a merry metal Christmas! \m/

1.	Purgatory 04:52	lyrics	buy track
It seems that this life Must be lived I imagined that moment sweeter... Death kissing me gently Karma has done its job well I would have at least tried I'm afraid when I feel My soul leave my body (fear.... lies...) The fear under My worst visions Paralyzing Scream on nothing Cold on my skin Tight throat Breath ends Packed heat Lies to get out You won't know Deep down on me Truth's too shameful Lies just to be Another one Silent rage And deceiving you And deceiving you It's so easy to appear While the demons Gnaw at me from the inside Yet I think I loved one day The fear under My worst visions Paralyzing Scream on nothing Cold on my skin Tight throat Breath ends Packed heat Lies to get out You won't know Deep down on me Truth's too shameful Lies just to be Another one Silent rage And deceiving you Pain is always here... I am so cold... When that day comes The divine judgment is less heavy Than being in front of our reflection At least, I think... Pain is always here In my head there are chimeras I'm so cold... The fear under My worst visions Paralyzing Scream on nothing Cold on my skin Tight throat Breath ends Packed heat Lies to get out You won't know Deep down on me Truth's too shameful Lies just to be Another one Silent rage And deceiving you Purgatory is lived here and now At each of our inspirations Suffering is born from our fears Death may put us to sleep But will never calm us down It'll happen again…
2.	[Help] Me too 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Around the cellar they know These people out, they know and pretend They know that they have seen nothing Heard nothing Will not say anything I don't know in which church They learned that No one knows No one sees No one knows No one sees My open belly You, who come from elsewhere These wishes whose ardor pursues me No! Already your speeches wanted to tempt me Go away! Your languorous tunes cannot seduce me Go away! Hold your hand, fear my anger! My belly open Deep inside this terror It's so bad It hurts so much Satyr, what do you do? Your hand still dares Satyr, hold your hand Leave my veil in peace In the name of the Gods I tremble It hurts too much I'm naked, I'm screaming Where to hide? Where to flee? I'm dying Appease your wrath Satyr, what do you do? I signed my promise Satyr, what do you do? My belly open Deep inside this terror It's so bad It hurts too much Too much... Now I live with this pain But at least, I still can breath
3.	Souls Of War 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Waaaaaar In that trench I've been watching you Each of your gestures Resemble mine What are you thinking Handsome soldier? We are united In khaki clothes Our fates are intertwined Our fates are sealed They say we are enemies But I don't know you I'm gonna kill you... Your finger on the trigger My life is yours My finger on the trigger Your life is mine Your gun pointed at me My life is yours My gun pointed at you Your life is mine Weapon in hand The tears runs down my face I'm gonna shoot soon... I'll cry when I'll take your life My homeland decorates me To have your death What did you do wrong To deserve my bullets? War reduces the souls In bloodthirsty monsters Our fates are intertwined Our fates are sealed I'm gonna kill you... But suddenly My body falls to the ground I'm bleeding My body's writhing with pain You shot me... Me... I didn't dare... I forgive you You give me a present You help me escape from this hell You help me escape from this hell In this sulphur odor Blood runs out of my mouth Mixed with tears on my cheeks My soul comes to you To kiss your forehead… Tenderly…
4.	Bye! 04:48	lyrics	buy track
I had to live with pain The one who eats the head Welcome to my bedroom I wasn't expecting so many And cry over my cold body You are pathetic I had to live with pain The one who eats the head No one gave me handout To quiet my mind A strong shoulder to cry with no shame You turned me down You did nothing Now I am dead And nothing can change that I'm not going to follow the shadows Who calls me softly In this other world Who calls me softly You said I was just a loser I had to live with pain The one who eats the head No one gave me handout To quiet my mind A strong shoulder to cry with no shame You turned me down You said I was just a no one's friend I was sorry Sorry to be here To breathe your air To exist Remember, in a "bye" I give you my despair Remember, in your memories Let my death be a reflection Soon I'll be nothing But a pile of ashes You will come to entrust to my box Your remorses gnawing at you But I won't be here I will just be a shadow I will remind you I was a loser With no destination Why weren't you here During my dark hours? I was in distress You did nothing In my darkness You did nothing Don't forget the light…
5.	Witchcraft 04:12	lyrics	buy track
I know your origin Iron covered with seven colors Sharpened by lightning during seven Fridays Incensed with benzoin for seven nights Believe my bewitching words! All the meat you can swallow up, Chew it up! All the blood you want, Suck it! All the skin you covet, Tear it apart! All the bones you drink with your eyes, Break them! All the nerves you make run away, Cut them! At each angle a talisman At each bend a formula Such is the man of defilement Such is the husband who plays with promises Believe my bewitching words! This wild desire some days To mix blood and wounds To the contracted gestures of love And perceive under the bites Who perpetuate the taste of kissing The sobs of the mistress, and her groans Harsh desires not appeased Of my dark cannibal ancestors If you come here, transgress the forbidden Enter his belly And ravage the eyes, the liver, The heart, the virtue Ask him to bow down Believe my bewitching words! Come to me life force Torment spirit Original spirit I reach out to you Who gradually emerge From the darkness
6.	Thoughts Of A Survivor 04:06	lyrics	buy track
There was nothing psychotic about it All his actions were conscious and controlled I walked down the street My eyes crossed yours I felt a fright along my spine And if I hadn't looked at you in that moment... If we take the fear away There's no reason to be afraid anymore Everything happened very quickly With extreme violence You caught me then took away Then nothing. The abyss. If we take the fear away There's no reason to be afraid anymore I woke up because I was cold I was immersed in a bathtub of ice water In the end, I remember thinking "I'm worth something" If I hadn't almost died because of him I would never have understood That there is nothing to fear Except fear itself We are mortal creatures With impulses and consciousness We are both strong and weak Angelic and demonic Both with a fresh hand To calm a feverish forehead And the raging hand Around the throat Who gives both life and death "You have to get through this You must survive I've decided. I can do it. No matter how hard life throws me I can handle it... I can handle it…"
7.	A Few Words For Love 03:04	lyrics	buy track
If somewhere you could stop For a moment on my heart If only you could stumble at random On all the clumsiness of my sorrows If one day you could only take a time Without promise Simply to discover that from you I have so much drunkenness The things that they knew how to destroy To give me the nights of forgotten dreams I was a fragile and broken heart I hesitated for a long time In perdition, in research, I was so bad I wanted for a long time To leave this world Who no longer understands me But the tenderness and the hopes Which without you Would not have kept me alive I knew... You were somewhere Hidden I felt you breathe... As the sounds of our words Resonate in the night We have to make up for lost time Time spent away from each other Play with the eyes Get confused Words are scarce but it doesn't matter Silence counts too, and we have all night And I'm happy right now That I can just look at you I wish this moment never stops I love what you are And then there's something bright Colorful, living I find it attractive I wish this moment never stop
8.	Reign Of Lights 04:23	lyrics	buy track
He runs... He runs... He runs towards his fate Without ever looking behind Is he looking or is he fleeing? Is he safe or uncertain? Is he trying to catch up or escape his destiny? What its future looks like Obvious or mysterious? He makes an empire for himself He is made of shadows or lights? His time is limited His choices must be up to the task Is it a race against time Or a race against fear? He always runs... Aims at the light straight ahead Even though this quest is foolish He runs to feel alive He runs to feel alive He runs through the centuries But it's still the same story He runs to feel alive Is he afraid that the road will end But this race is foolish Hurry up! The shadows run behind! In the vaults of unfathomable sadness Where fate has already been relegated Where never enters a cheerful ray Where alone with the night, gloomy hostess Where to cook with funeral appetites Where to boil and eat the heart Where is the beginning of perdition Where there are only useless dreamers Where problems are intractable and sterile Where heat will never warm bodies Where weariness brings rest Where souls are empty Where love doesn't exist... Shadow or light From the beginning we hope Find in a smile All the laws of the universe Guided by the sun Guided by the moon
9.	Salvation 03:52	lyrics	buy track
We have studied the lesson, well We think we have lived everything Done everything But we didn't say everything We are far from having felt everything Facing the mirror, I crack a match I invoke fire I pray my mantras in a low voice I shell them like a rosary Soon we'll have to fight And enter the arena In dust, and sweat, and fury Maybe I'll tremble Hold me against you We'll join the others We'll take our place in this carousel Watch madness regains its rights Dancing like puppets Flower in the gun Smile in the corner of the lips Head forward Forget everything Let go off your horses, drive them crazy! Catching fury with your hands Under the blows but love in the heart The light is in each of us Let it out, catch the thunder You, who can hit so hard We will soon be able to howl at the moon Faced with the din I have my strange rituals Let go of your horses, drive them crazy! Join me, I hold you against me We will find the light It's already there It's already in us Let go off your horses, drive them crazy!
10.	Rape The Limit ( bonus track) 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Look at me, you're not in a porn movie! Primitive anger burns in me Out of control Destructive force I'm the one made for your pleasures Like a fierce animal Attack my prey Peace on my face Day after day The control running away Only the strong survive You propagate My addiction Along the way My hand is deep Inside your body Calculus of a disorder Intrigates to my dismay Of new sensations Who's the victim? I clean your clint With my tongue My hand on your mouth Don't shout and shut up You have to control Your submission My orgasm comes When I make you scream Obsessed by your sex My anger comes back When I feel your life Leave this place Between my hands I need your existence To fuck you again and again You say I take your dreams You say I'm fucking bitch You say I possessed your life You say you'll never be free again You come out the beast in me Hold me until the last breath You say I joke with your life Hold me I'm the one made for your pleasures Like a fierce animal Attack my prey Peace on my face Day after day The control running away Only the strong survive Day after day You control my desires Roles are exchanged Day after day You'll never be the same You propagate My addiction Along the way My hand is deep Inside your body Calculus of a disorder Intrigates to my dismay Of new sensations Pain is my feel for you Smile for me The smell of your skin calls me Cry for me Your open hands calls me Suffer for me Your pretty pussy calls me Burn for me Sky is the limit

A lot of bands play a dark, gripping, and deeply emotional sound, but no one does it quite like Gaerea. Ive loved all their stuff up to this point, but they have truly topped themselves with Mirage. I believe this album is a masterpiece. seven skeletons
