Ivan Satanov What an intense ride. I couldn’t stop but thinking of Phil Anselmo, Fear Factory, Alter Bridge sometimes. And a very cute accent of the singer adds to the charm too

Kochan Affection has recorded the album of testosterone fueled groove - my favourite kind of metal, that would equally fit any wrestling entrance, any racing game, and a bingefest with your metalhead-friends,
Favorite track: Thousand Mirrors.

Trapped in this hive mind again Losing altitude – They say we’re dying Alter egos passing by Feed the lions and keep smiling There’s a man in the shadow Saying: you got no luck Why should I care? It doesn’t matter There’s a man in the shadow Laughing: you ain’t fuck Well see if I care – ‘cause it doesn’t matter anymore They say we’re dying Doesn’t matter anymore Because we’re falling Plastic lovers withering Mass isolation, money, modest life We’re here to strain this lucid dream Drown the rules to beat the fear There’s a man in the shadow Saying: you got no luck Why should I care? It doesn’t matter There’s a man in the shadow Laughing: you ain’t fuck Well see if I care – ‘cause it doesn’t matter anymore They say we’re dying Doesn’t matter anymore Because we’re falling [FREE MIND] Stand up, don’t hide [FREE MIND] Burn with desire

Escape 03:49
This time - it’s all around Like a feral one looking for prey One more breath - Get up - Go [They’ve started a fire under my skin -there’s only one way to shut it down] Feeling a glare on the back of my neck Last light pushing fear aside Through the crisp air - i’m fleeting again Fury in these veins won’t take me down Unshadowed - Driven by your kind Deceiving, repeating - Evading the lies Tonight this all will go away So sheer was the silence Long gone is crawling in the night Felt so free until I looked around Acid burning doesn’t make a sound Time to cut this rope around my neck [That hunt - back from the day] Something’s hiding in these dreams While the rest is carried away [This soil - redeems it all] Still finding pieces that don’t fit in the past Fury in these veins won’t take me down Unshadowed - Driven by your kind Deceiving, repeating - Evading the lies Tonight this all will go away So sheer was the silence Long gone is crawling in the night So sheer was the silence Long gone is crawling in the night

Since Blood 04:03
Tear down my blackened flesh tonight It’s pulling me down out of sight My doom - that was taking over you Will transform into something new Distorted lies and hidden tears [reviving something that will last] Reveal what’s been carrying us all the way And i don’t want To see you under the burning sky Fading and leaving all behind Still i can feel you, after all these years Closer than ever before By the noon the roots are getting stronger [broken words will bury the past] Written in our scars; You have everything you’re looking for Here - Worn out and paralysed Made it further than i realised Fire - last thing i’ll ever see It’s time to shake that firm family tree And i don’t want To see you under the burning sky Fading and leaving all behind Still i can feel you, after all these years Closer than ever before

Lying naked on the floor Gasping air under red ceiling Cut the cord now This vile path - They'll never follow Here you can't reach the core Thousand mirrors - One is reflecting What you have become through the night Giving in for the narrow Revel now and burn the hollow There's a threat by a new desire Radiating through the smoke - Should i feel you? Push me in to the depth of a hidden cove If it’s still laced with the denial This vile path - They'll never follow Here you can't reach the core Thousand mirrors - One is reflecting What you have become through the night Giving in for the narrow Revel now and burn the hollow Thousand mirrors – One’s reflecting No matter where we’ve set our roots This can’t be veered now Depraved, so rife - can’t deny We’re on the verge Demonize me - Reverse the dying Drowning in the burden of your pain Stone cold redemption We should’ve known; Drop the blame - unveil the sorrow Thousand mirrors - One is reflecting What you have become through the night Giving in for the narrow This vile path - They'll never follow Here you can't reach the core - Revel now They'll never follow - Burn down the hollow

Still alive - those vivid lights That made you blow away At that corner I visit every day We couldn’t see, couldn’t feel it cast down in the night Hatch out - The stranger unknown Those eyes – They say it all He came running down the street Screaming aloud; I’m innocent Painted by the blood No time for fear - Where is the hideout? The chase is on Run like a shadow - You’ve been more Outcast - What drives you on? Instead of justice The madness wears the crown He came running down the street Screaming aloud; I’m innocent Painted by the blood No time for fear - Where is the hideout? The hunt is on One crack and the walls are coming down Can you reform? Those things you had are buried by the past Will you let it go? No one can justify Bow down and keep your mind Go! Run like a shadow You’ve been more

Bleeding - one last time Your rotten smile cuts so deep i can’t defy You made me feel alive Tomorrow’s for the remnants of honor What makes us run through the fence And realise- Someone's waiting for a shoulder Another's sliced with a knife Who's holding the cards tonight? We're on the highway of denial Blood comes for free Where is your destiny? [FREE – UNSEALED] They are anxious to suppress your mind [GREED – SWAY] Let all poachers perish at their line Breeding under fortified lies Let’s fill this domain with mass-produced perfection Some will fall as residue Complete the task and we shall weep tomorrow Someone's waiting for a shoulder Another's sliced with the knife Who's holding the cards tonight? We're on the highway of denial Blood comes for free Close your eyes and there’s no misery [FREE – UNSEALED – SWAY] Let them perish to the ground That rotten smile cuts so deep I can’t defy You made me feel so alive – last time [FREE – UNSEALED] Some will fall Let those poachers perish at their line

The crowd of charm’s already in sleep Time to coast out from retreat Shattered glass - Dew on the lawn Couldn’t fit here before We are silent escapees The ones who recede from pride Waiting – Taking what is left Evaporating back into the night In this brigade of vanity Your ghost is haunting me again Appealing words in the scene Delusions drowning me ‘cause we are silent escapees The ones who recede from pride Waiting – Taking what is left Evaporating back into the night We are silent escapees The ones who recede from pride Waiting – Taking what is left Evaporating back into the night
9.
Let me rest here for a while Until the crust has been divided Drawn circles on my skin Showing the path where you will stay There’s no tomorrow For this serene sorrow Something’s left in the tide tonight Among these arrows I hear the humming past Never wanted to find us from here Exonerated, truth within This is our animal kingdom How far are we ready to go? Just make it spill Since we’re here for the blood Please, just feed me tonight There’s no tomorrow For this serene sorrow Something’s left in the tide tonight Exonerated, truth within This is our animal kingdom How far are we ready to go? [how far are we ready to go?]

Absorbia 07:45
Here – I easily forget my name Still – more complete than ever before We are fading into the sun What is real has just begun In this stream we’ll collide – With no return Here - no pride, no guilt This beautiful unknown Takes me home We are fading into the sun What is real has just begun In this stream we’ll collide And there is no return ∞

about

Affection’s debut album "Remnants" builds an honest and captivating scenery for the listener. It offers heavy guitar riffs, raw energy, and catchy melodies. The album presents the band’s musically enriched and deepened, multifaceted, character.

The record is like a rollercoaster ride, on which Affection carries you through meaningful, yet sometimes heavy themes. "Remnants" is not an easy album: fiery emotions and delusive wanderings in dark waters are inevitable.

“Some of the topics are more gloomy, but in the end, the main theme is keeping oneself together. It serves also as a reminder that it’s crucial to hold on to the core of yourself – to what each of us is by nature. In a world where people have the absurd need to put themselves and each other in some kind of molds, it seems to be the most valuable thing we have. ”-Andy H.C. / vocalist
