THE INVISIBLE WALL it's strange to find out everthing's fake today I cross the line of the invisible wall you made the things you tell me, they sound always like the same I decide not to trust in your words today your interests behind are washing my rights away I cross the line of the invisible wall you made the things you tell me, they sound always like the same well you know after all I can say the colour of my truth is still bright I don't believe in what you say you won't make my life a lie everything, everyone is fake I just won't let it be again the colour of my truth is still bright

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AGES I won't give up I seat and stare watch they're coming ok it's the day this bloody riot leads me to hell the charge is that I'm stuck in the middle ages just tell me what to say -what I should say- if i was a better man what do you want to let me safe don't make me suffer that's my last prayer suck all the blood out of my bones don't say that we were stuck in the middle ages just tell me what to do -what i should do- if i was a better man just tell me what I should say if i was a better man
4.
WORST CASE SCENARIO / ALONE from childhood’s hour I have not been as others were I have not seen as others saw I could not bring my passions from a common spring from the same source I have not taken my sorrow I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone and all I lov’d I lov’d alone then in my childhood in the dawn of a most stormy life was drawn from ev’ry depth of good and ill the mystery which binds me still from the torrent, or the fountain from the red cliff of the mountain from the sun that ’round me roll’d in its autumn tint of gold from the lightning in the sky as it pass’d me flying by from the thunder, and the storm and the cloud that took the form (when the rest of Heaven was blue) of a demon in my view
5.
BLOOD FREEZING try another last time tell me I should stay dirty mothafucker you won't win again what I might wish to you I can even tell regain your deeper nightmare you should pray for that 'cause ready? here I am with all my hate that is son of the disgrace you have taken all over the place ready? here I am to break your chains blood freezing into your veins like it was an old refrain someone has to pay for the damage done and I think it's you you the only one c'mon waste your last words there's nothing you can tell not a word or a crying prayer to save your fucking head 'cause ready? here I am with all my hate that is son of the disgrace you have taken all over the place ready? here I am to break your chains blood freezing into your veins like it was an old refrain don't look so surprised ready? here i come

Let It Down 03:26
LET IT DOWN come here lonely nightmare the same feel as it seems a life time spent in darkness enough time to let me down bring me to the ocean and leave the ground hiding in the loom of night lead me where we cannot touch the ground time has come, let it down let it down farewell lowly highness the same fool as it seems a fool again we spent a life time living lifeless enough time to let me down bring me to the ocean and leave the ground rowing in the dead of night lead me where we cannot touch the ground time has come to let it down bring me to the ocean and leave the ground hiding in the gloom of night lead me where we cannot touch the ground time has come, let it down let it down

Inner Forest 04:08
INNER FOREST (featuring Francesco Chimenti) feel the strain through your skin this voice calling from the blue fear those demons on your back run like hell run like hell trees on my path, the fields of my past are growing the wood to my gallows sweet evergreens lead my stride concealing my pass to those willows it's coming on the longer night a forest is not enough to hide it's been a while but we have nothing to talk about it's been so wild but we have nothing to talk about it's coming on the longer night a forest is not enough to hide
9.
Days Of Doom 05:15
DAYS OF DOOM walk and learn in evil days, insulted days, days of death and oppression, depression days of blue days of doom days of murder and sacrifice days of effort days of cold days of heat when murders die days of cold when you're hot (days of white when you're black) days of heat when you're cold (days of hate when you're in love) days of blue days of doom days of murder I fight best in the shade of a cloud of arrows I fight best in the shade of doom cause you fight best yes you fight best right deep in the shade of a cloud of arrows
10.
IN THE DOG GRAVEYARD sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell now I know exactly how's your hell keep your hands on your ears hold your breath until it comes the end there should be always an easy way out but not now not now, not here not for you, not for me when the bell's ringing that's the end singing in the dog graveyard say nothing without wasting a word they have been a thousand times and I still feel the same there should be always an easy way out but not now, not now not now, not here not you, not me when the bell's ringing that's the end singing in the dog graveyard time takes care of the wound but it can't heal this space is nothing when you are everywhere there should be always an easy way out but not now, not now
11.
Even Dead 02:59
EVEN DEAD it's over now deep in the ground where I was bound for it's over now you come around it's easy now you like me down feeling sorrow I can't sleep tell me dearest enemy will you meet me there? one thing breaks my eternal sleep you spent a life as enemy to me, pleased? take on me when I'm gone think of me now I'm gone call me the weirdo call me mistake I will fight you even dead
12.
AND NOTHING MORE TO COME... MAYBE riding a world I can't recognize still in the crowd I am all alone tied and forced down in a flashing light nobody cares about who I am tied and locked up in a room of hell all I can think about is the next dreaming of a red liquid cloudy sky forgetting just what I think I am hooded and led to the hopeless end I realize that I'm not afraid my eyes adjust to the blinding light blade sweep away all I ever had forget what I was forget what I did it means nothing nothing that worths some time to remember I tried to change the world I failed but the world didn't change me it only.. yeah it just ended me quitted me, killed me and nothing more to come ...maybe

about

CAPTAIN MANTELL Dirty White King

Dirty White King, the latest LP from Captain Mantell,
moves on a darker and powerfull direction than the previous works of the trio.
It tells the story of a symbolic king murder using new recordings techniques and a cinematographic approach which
make this album sounding like an heavy soundtrack for a obscure film.

It's not easy to find a reference because this album sounds like
a mix of different inspirations (John Zorn, Faith No More, The Beatles, Soundgarden, King Crimson...)
melted together in a new strange way.

The darkness of the record is well described by the complex artwork of Seals Of Blackening.
The collaborations are two: Francesco Chimenti from Sycamore Age (vocals and cellos)
and Nicola Manzan from Bologna Violenta (strings).
