vše je řečeno textem, proto poslouchej pečlivě a přemýšlej o tom

Lyrics are in Czech. We hope, that these would wake up Czechs from lethargy  stopping to be servants of former communists regime.

This is a story about the man, persecuted by Czech government. First song reflected the reality on the crowded city, where there are no people, but just shadows, no way to go, no place to hide/.

Second song  speeks about coming back to the nature, but nature disappears, nature is destructed, the nature is crying and dying, consumption society has  destructed it.

Song 3  ...aren´t we going back to middleages ?

Song 4 “Interni Exodus” is an expression of introventios and consideration of death.

Song 5 Velvet Fraud is about Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. In spite of protests, after revolution former communist and dictators holds positions strongerly. It was the betray.

About Codex Gigas project

Motto: A burreaucrat is here to prevent rich talking to poor and poor talking to rich.

Franz Kafka, Prague, 1915

It is an experiment to mix alternative and classical music accompanying by lyrics.

The platform and the merit of lyrics continue again as previously. There are cries, exclamations, prays and calls to the darkness. It is like dance with death and you can find here psychedelic parts too. The motive is inspired by Virgin Black, Pink Floyd and R.Waters, Burtons bass solo from Kill Em All album, Apocalyptica, Antonin Dvorak or Leos Janacek.

Lyrics are a reflection of a Czech government and negative reaction of his deputies any time we protested against environment destruction – Czech government and his officers help to destructors /possible investors, developer and so on./, officers´ hyppocratism,  violenting  human rights and still making corruption, no matter if we had former communist regime or not, there are former communists still in our government and in case of protests against to them and standing up for human rights,  there a is danger of police persecution. Yes, we are not living in democracy, but we have totalitarian regime still. So, we have only the right of passive resistance  making protest-songs, but it is insufficient. These lyrics are about this, that dictator is still here, but only instruments are different.

Both next albums “Exodus” and “Ego” I created on the same time, just some songs seem to me to sound a little too softly, so I decided to edit it on this extra album.Album EGO is a little different, because my Czech fans complain to me for difficulty to understand my texts, which is an important part of my songs. It is not easy to harmonize dark sounds and understandable lyrics with diverse instruments, as words disappear in final mix.

The idea continues to previous one and helps to explain the relationship between human and nature, man and power but mainly border between the life and death and seeks place to hide against the negative globalization but mainly fights against this negative influences. My works look for solutions in the serious problems of our world .
