Adrian Benegas - 'The Secret Within' (feat. Ronnie Romero)

Walking, wondering
Something doesn't feel right
The Sun is here
But I can't feel its warmth

The spirits lead me
And I'm screaming from pain
Is this the only way you have for me?
Is it?

Held onto its voice
It can't survive without your thoughts
Can't exist without the host
Your thoughts

The guides spoke it loud

Secret lies within
Know yourself and resurrect
As above, as below
As in heaven, so on earth

When brighter the light
Bigger shadows it projects
I got it now
Know yourself and resurrect

Visita interiora terrae
Rectificando invenies occultum lapidem

Neurotic chaos
Suffering, drama and violence
My mind possessed
They're feeding on myself

Held onto its pain
Your shadow self will show you the way
The core of all, your mind
The host

Secret lies within
Know yourself and resurrect
As above, as below
As in heaven, so on earth
When brighter the light
bigger shadows it projects
I got it now
Know yourself and resurrect

God lies in you
Know yourself and it will show itself
Listen to your heart,
Feel the Sun

Secret lies within
Know yourself and resurrect
As above, as below
As in heaven, so on earth
When brighter the light
Bigger shadows it projects
I got it now
Know yourself and resurrect

Secret lies within
Know yourself and resurrect
As above, as below
As in heaven, so on earth
When brighter the light
Bigger shadows it projects
I got it now
Know yourself and resurrect

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία τετραετία για το προσωπικό μουσικό σχήμα του Adrian Benegas. "Arcanvm - El mantra secreto de los espíritus" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του τελευταίου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα, με τον Παραγουανό καλλιτέχνη να μας λέει σχετικά:

«Two years after the release of my last production, it is time to launch a new full length album. I am beyond excited to finally announce with you the fruit of an entire year of intense passionate work.

Arcanum is definitely an esoteric and touching fable about overcoming, knowledge of ourselves and true soul bond. Come follow The Revenant’s sequel, and enjoy the ride throughout this new chapter! Here is Arcanum and it’s gonna be yours soon.»

Στον δίσκο συμμετέχει μία πλειάδα έμειρων μουσικών όπως ο τραγουδιστής Ronnie Romero, ο μπασίστας των Myrath (Anis Jouini), ο πρώην κιθαρίστας των Delain, Somers και ο drummer Michael Ehré (βλ. Primal Fear, Gamma Ray, The Unity).

Αποκαλεί την μουσική του ως "Theatrical Power Metal" και έχει κυκλοφορήσει έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο ("The Revenant" 2019), δύο singles και ένα ep ("Diamonds in the Dark" 2021)...
