Track By Tracks: Spit On Your Grave - Arkanum (2024)

Album background:

This conceptual album tells the story of a mental detox process, exploring the internal struggle to restore one's inner self. It's a journey where demons surface, and everything you believe in is questioned. It's the moment when you realize you've been following someone else's lead for years, and you decide to leave everything behind. The question remains: Who are you, deep down?

Track-by-Track Explanation:

The Infection explores the theme of passive-aggressive manipulation, where someone controls another person's actions, making them believe they're making their own decisions. Inspired by The Magician tarot card.

The Heretic: This song delves into the internal grief that comes with being dethroned from one's beliefs. It's a moment of denial, anger, and self-punishment, symbolizing the awakening that marks the beginning of personal rediscovery. Inspired by The Tower tarot card.

Vigilia talks about lost and cloistered memories, those blocked memories that you've forbidden yourself from accessing. A guardian inside you fights to maintain your sanity, much like a mother protecting her children. This character is the star of the album cover. Inspired by The High Priestess tarot card.

Into the Devil’s Realm explores the idea that it's okay to allow yourself to feel rage and anger. It's time to let go of the past and accept the darkness within. Inspired by The Devil tarot card.

Dark Lullaby is about the journey towards change, a more conscious and calm path towards rediscovering one's true self. Inspired by The Hermit tarot card.

Broken Hourglass Explores the theme of melancholy, the difficulty of letting go of something that hurt you. Memories trap you in a time loop, reminding you that you're no longer there, but leaving a mark that's hard to erase. Inspired by The Star tarot card.

Self-sacrifice is about the final step in this cathartic journey, letting go of the past to be reborn. Every beginning has an end, and this is the moment that allows you to find closure and start anew. Inspired by The Hanged Man tarot card.

The March of the innocents is the moral of the entire album, a closing statement that reminds us that justice, forgiveness, winning, and losing are all illusions. We're all fighting in the same war, a war with no end and no winners or losers. In the end, we'll all be misjudged, and the only thing that truly matters is our inner peace. Inspired by The Justice tarot card.
