Spoonbräu 2019 - Thrash Metal (ES)

What characterizes REAKTION in general is the fluidity of its musical performance, combining several influences and moving from one style to another without veering off from Thrash. In the end, Learning to Die is a straight album, without superfluous, to enjoy off the top of your head just for the pleasure of the Thrash.

IAmRevEvil Amazing follow up to "Blackmailed Existence" Favorite track: Learning To Die.

sultanofswing This is hands-down one of the best thrash releases of 2019. It's got everything I love in metal - memorable, catchy riffs, thoughtful lyrics and good contrast of tempos and feels - even some killer hooks I can sing along with. These guys bring it all. Beginning to end, it's catchy and fun. Favorite track: Sweet Desperation.

1.	Paraphilia 03:12	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Iván Lara Enter a false dystopia, when the dinner has served It took a whip and prepared to punish the wobbly wastes of humanity Diagnosis: SADISTIC DISEASE!!!! But now, it's the solution of a loss of control This is my solution This is your illusion Blood flows warm and this is good Cause it can keep you awake for (y)our self-recreation Diagnosis: TOTALLY DEGRADED!! But now, it's the solution of a loss of control This is my solution This is your illusion This is my self-detriment For all of those who cannot understand Hey you!! Don't judge my morality because, it can be your own fatality It took a knife and prepared for the SEVERELY MUTILATION And the victim, screams of joy Diagnosis: MENTALLY DERANGED But now, it's the solution of a loss of control This is my solution This is your illusion This is my self-detriment For all of those who cannot understand PARAPHILIA!!!! PARAPHILIA!!!!!!
2.	The Second Law 02:41	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal, Iván Lara You’re In the mood for kill Killing someone Someone who deserve This must be done… You’ll-be-sacrificed To make this work? If-you-can’t-take a knife What are you waiting for? Don’t try to scream or hide Cause no one will hear you And you will, be falling deeper and deeper TILL YOU CLASH WITH REALITY! Hate It’s not a bad choice When you hear noise Still on your seat? In a world of shit What-Are-you-waiting for? It’s time to decide Make-your-decision now What are you waiting for? Don’t try to scream or hide Cause no one will hear you And you will, be falling deeper and deeper TILL YOU CLASH WITH REALITY! You! Don’t need! The thoughts, just facts Innocence and morals are just lies now it’s time to RE-AKT! Let the massacre start The massacre as art The mass destruction The best distraction You don’t need alibies Don’t close your eyes No need to feel remorse It could be worst IT SHOULD BE WORST! Don’t try to scream or hide Cause no one will hear you And you will, be falling deeper and deeper TILL YOU CLASH WITH REALITY!
3.	A Piece Of God Within 03:52	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal, based on "The wisdom of the slave" by Epictetus Don’t you know? You were born When the world needed you Don’t you know? You got a piece of god There’s a place within where all is true Don’t say “I lost it”, say “I have give it” Embrace the lonely, but don’t you cry too A place where you are safe The wisdom of the slave. There’s a god, always has been There’s a god, a piece of God, a piece of god within Didn’t you know? You’re not a servant Should we be afraid, when it’s not up to us? Didn’t you know? Don’t you talk Unless you have something useful to say Everything was and everything will be the same There’s only you so, who’s to blame? A place where you are a safe The wisdom of the slave. There’s a god, always has been There’s a god, a piece of god, a piece of god within Freedom Is a matter of attitude Freedom Is to choose how we react Reaktion Is the key of our liberty Freedom is to control ONESELF! Dignity, loyalty, steadiness Be impassive, don’t be afraid, don’t be sad It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death. OF PAIN OR DEATH! OF PAIN OR DEATH! OF PAIN OR DEATH! It’s not the death… not the pain THE FEAR OF PAIN OR DEATH A place where you are a safe… There’s a god, always has been There’s a god, always has been There’s a god, a piece of god, a piece of god within A place where you are a safe The wisdom of the slave. A place where you are a safe The wisdom of the slave.
4.	A Death Foretold 04:07	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo & Xavier Vidal Lyrics: Xavier Vidal, based on "Chronicle of a death foretold" by Gabriel Garcia Márquez Early in the morning, you barely slept, in this day when you’ll meet death Still drunk since the night before, everyone’s gone to see the bishop come In this isolated town, the honor rules the life Was the menace is real? Silence is a seal Nobody stop them, no reason why They were afraid? They’ll do what it takes For sure he won’t forsake! YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, ignored you’re gonna be killed YOU, OVER YOU! The blood will be spilt ‘cause you made her bleed WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK If you did it or not, nobody cares at all YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, yours was a death … A DEATH FORETOLD! No one believed the threat, you will join the dead They said “They used the knives to kill the pigs” “Run, run”. No one told, “never come back” “Kill, kill the man”. Revenge is near, about to start. It’s about to start! YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, ignored you’re gonna be killed YOU, OVER YOU! The blood will be spilt ‘cause you made her bleed WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK If you did it or not, nobody cares at all YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, yours was a death … A DEATH FORETOLD! The honor, the horror. Deflowered, then POWER The pride, high price Reputation, Retaliation? Justifies the crime? Uh? Wrong door, bad luck Watch up you back Fear, murder’s near For everyone is fine Justifies the crime? Uh? Early in the morning, you barely slept, In this day when you’ll meet death Don’t go now, don’t go out No chance to find a cure, she was not pure She was not pure! SHE WAS NOT PURE! YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, ignored you’re gonna be killed YOU, OVER YOU! The blood will be spilt ‘cause you made her bleed WE DON’T GIVE A FUCK If you did it or not, nobody cares at all YOU! Just you and nobody else but you, yours was a death … A DEATH FORETOLD! A death like everyone’s A death which was announced Easy to foretold A death for us all! FOR US ALL!
5.	Learning To Die 04:14	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal, based on "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius Although if you could live Three thousand years Or even thirty thousand Remember that no man loses the life he has The shortest life, the longest life… They all lose the same This right moment, the same for everyone, it’s the only thing we all have The shortest, the longest, both have an equal Equal loss to Death We all are just a small soul A little soul We all are just a small soul feeding a corpse Everything material soon vanishes in the substance of the universe We are the only thing we lose, cause we are nothing else He who sees the present has seen it all: Everything existing since ever Everything existing till the end For everything is the same The only thing we lose is the only thing we have Every cause soon fits in the reason of the universe And the memory of everything shall soon be buried in the eternity. We all are just a small soul A little soul We all are just a small soul feeding a corpse Everything material soon vanishes in the substance of the universe We are the only thing we lose, cause we are nothing else We all are just a small soul A little soul We all are just a small soul feeding a corpse Everything material soon vanishes in the substance of the universe We are the only thing we lose… NOTHING! Everything, everything, in the substance of the universe The only thing, cause we are nothing else We all are just a small soul A little soul We all are just a small soul feeding a corpse

7.	The Great Citizen 03:15	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Iván Lara, based on "1984" by George Orwell feat. Tolo Storm Juan Ferragut This is a story of devastation Of a new world that so collides Lies and death, they are our nation… …and you can’t do anything to prevent it Friends and sons, will betray The new rival for only you Not talk to them just that provoke this (shit)… …and they will be the ones who imprison you I’m a payer I’m a slayer (No! Wait!) This is the last one who humiliates me again (No way!) Your job is keeping the institution That we love above all things Where will you be until the end of times… …to dig the grave of thoughts What are you doing with these illusions? That leaves you to and endless road And if the can not control this machine… …the dreams will lead the human to self-destruct I’m a payer I’m a slayer (No! Wait!) This is the last one who humiliates me again (NO WAY!) It’s time to rise up It’s time to wake up The new world is just BEGUN! NO! I refuse it NO! I deny it OBEY! It grows in me OBEY! The control over me This is the last one who humiliates me AGAIN! I’m a payer I’m a slayer (Yes! Ahead!) This is the last one who changes me again
8.	State of Hate 03:08	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal A few people pulling strings Where nothing is what really seems From the gutter, from below The truth here hurts It’s raw Raw Raw…this rots! Here the justice is on sale Violence and censorship prevail We can’t express, we can’t talk In this state that rots Rots It rots Rots…it’s raw Voices muted, mouths shut up Time escaping, feeling trapped We all hope we are the last Rats are coming back from the past Welcome to the state of crime Where anger is my state of mind Welcome here, this is insane I feel sorrow, this is pain Welcome to the state of crime Where anger is my state of mind Welcome! To this state Welcome to this reign of hate It’s time to do what really takes After more than million mistakes Reign of terror, country of error We won’t bow! To his emperor TO HIS EMPEROR! United by a God-given right There is no other way than fight Staying here does not make sense When the filth is so Intense Tense Tense, it’s so intense Voices muted, mouths shut up Time escaping, feeling trapped We all hope we are the last Rats are coming back from the past Welcome, fake nation Welcome, false nation Welcome, welcome! Welcome, welcome, hell come! Welcome to the state of crime Where anger is my state of mind Welcome here, this is insane I feel sorrow, this is pain Welcome to the state of crime Where anger is my state of mind Welcome! To this state Welcome to this reign of hate
9.	Sweet Desperation 03:36	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal Wishing something, is being empty You have drunk but still thirsty? Sweet desperation, I am not up to anything There’s nothing I wish, I have it all within The time is now, the real thing is now There are no reasons to be so low Now it’s the only moment to live And this is all…the eternity Nothing is missing to me Living hopeless is letting things be The only real is what I see Living hopeless is living free Filling yourself with desire Trying to turn off a perpetual fire You don’t need no more than breathing Or you’ll be always full of nothing Tight to ilusions you think they’re useful You don’t need too much to be full Looking for more than to exist And this is all…the eternity Nothing is missing to me Living hopeless is letting things be The only real is what I see Living hopeless is living free Desperation…to be free Desperation is to see Desperation…to be free Desperation is…so…sweet You think you need it, but you don’t You think it’s good, but now you are wrong Chained to what you think you need Repenting all the time for what you did Embrace the void for reveal Cut the string, break the will Close your eyes for you to see And this is all…the eternity Nothing is missing to me Living hopeless is letting things be The only real is what I see Living hopeless is living free
10.	C38 03:28	lyrics
Music: Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier Vidal Sometimes at the 111, when the inspiration’s dead and gone Tuesday night, nothing’s fun, two hours trying and nothing’s done Haven’t you ever seen yourself as a living corpse and nothing else? Haven’t you ever seen yourself as a piece of shit with no sense? But, wait a moment, what do I see…it’s just there in front of me! Sometimes at the 111, nobody’s here and nothing’s fun Not in the mood to pick the pick, feeling boring, felling sick. Then that’s the moment, that’s the time to take a shot of any kind Now you are ready to kill the pain, to rock again, turn up the gain. But, wait a moment, what do I see…it’s just there in front of me! Go and spread the rum’n’roll Spread! Spread! Spread! All over the world Take! Take! Take it before it’s too late Till the last drop of the C38 C38! Sometimes at the 111, out of ideas, the mind’s gone blank Didn’t Shakespeare smoke some weed to write the awesome work he did? Haven’t you ever seen yourself as a living corpse and nothing else? Haven’t you ever seen yourself as a piece of shit with no sense? But, wait a moment, what do I see…it’s just there in front of me! Go and spread the rum’n’roll Spread! Spread! Spread! All over the world Take! Take! Take it before it’s too late Till the last drop of the C38 Go and spread the rum’n’roll Spread! Spread! Spread! All over the world Take! Take! Take it before it’s too late Till the last drop…the very last drop… of the C38
