Black Soul Mantra

Idea & Origin

With Black Soul Mantra two trademarks were set, which were to be repeated again and again in the following songs, also in the later chapters. On the one hand, the bass takes on a real leading role within the overall composition and even gives the basic theme of the song directly in the intro. This part in particular is also one of those fragments that were created many years before and that could finally get a worthy place within a song. The intro in connection with the song title pay homage to the model for this song: “Black Sunshine” by the band “White Zombie“.

On the other hand, the so-called ambient collages are used for the first time in this song, which come from the TNGX laboratory and which give the song a special atmosphere and depth. The song development is extremely unconventional and it is all the more astonishing that this composition still has a certain catchiness. Definitely an insider tip for lovers of obscure songs.

Pure essence, forcing movement
a hybrid state of self control

Oddward in search of the truth

Lyrics


Black Soul Mantra

Breathing, keep breathing and feel
rising deep down from within
descending down, deep in a hole
a rude awakening of my soul

Pure essence, forcing movement
a hybrid state of self control
Blackend the sun
straight to the core of the
flickering lights
unfolding pure energy

Pure essence, forcing movement
a hybrid state of self control
as the sun rises [at last]
I will fall out
feeling everything flies right
into the ecstasy of souls

Pure essence, forcing movement
a hybrid state of self control
Blackend the sun
straight to the core of the
flickering lights
revealing the essence
