My time's on sale but I can't pay the price I will sleep soon unless plugged into a power outlet I want to unplug the cable, that sticks in the back of my head But I rely on it, so I keep it in and just pretend Survived a thousand times, I know this shit like the back of my hand But I refuse to let this be my motherfucking end And you will never see, never feel the energy Feeling the lethargy, someone I will never be I'm like a power plant, a supernova from within Maybe I should give in, this shit is pulling off my skin How shall I live my life? When all these demons try to pull me under Now, I need to sacrifice My time, my ability to breathe Can you please fix me? ______________________ABOUT______________________ “My time's on sale, but I can't pay the price“ You have a full-time job, friendships to maintain, hobbies, and maybe even a side hustle. You know you should make time for yourself, but where are you going to find that time? This everyday overwhelm, which goes as far as total exhaustion, is captured by alqemiste in their new single 'Recharge'. “How shall I live my life, when all these demons try to pull me under?“ ʻAggressiveʼ and ʻdarkʼ are the keywords that describe the track best. We enter with the chanted chorus, which rolls along energetically like modern hardcore. Other parts are reminiscent of Chelsea Grin's bluntly aggressive 'steamroller tracks'. And finally, there is some trap again! This time, however, not in the radio-friendly style as it was the case with 'Give Me Sleep' - But with a very raw and energetic style, this one sounds more like $uicideboy$ or Ghostemane. “Wires everywhere, surrounding my body, surrounding my soul“ Taken literally in the visualizer to the new track, which shows a female robot hanging from the ceiling by cables in a gloomy, lab-like setting. The camera floats around the room while the music is accompanied by a strobe-like effect. An uneasy feeling of confinement, dependence on external conditions, and the inability to escape from this situation is created. “Can you please fix me?“ The music probably can not save us. At least not directly, but it can help you feel understood, and that o ften goes a long way - What we now also understand are the plans of the band: The new EP with a total of six tracks goes by the name 'AUTOMATA' and is fully released until November 9th, 2023. A fter Recharge, 2 more tracks are missing for this. Be ready! _____________________CREDITS_____________________ Music & Lyrics: alqemiste - Recording & Post Production: Anthony Moriss - Drum Recording: Flairtown Studios - Mixing & Mastering: Subhajit Pandit - 3D Graphics and Animation: Jonas Rombach -
