Chapter one of Doomed Cycles Trilogy
Forged By Rage belongs to an original single trilogy called Doomed Cycles.
Forged By Rage is related with overpopulation and associated social violent issues, delves into the darker aspects of human emotion and the transformative power of anger. The band draws inspiration from social themes. The song's lyrics explore the concept of rage as both a destructive and a creative force, examining how it shapes identities and drives individuals to overcome obstacles.
The writing process for "Forged by Rage" was a collaborative effort among the band members. They aimed to create a track that was both musically intense and lyrically direct. The initial riff was developed by the lead guitarist, who sought to capture the raw energy of anger. From there, the rest of the band contributed their ideas, refining the structure and adding layers to create a complex, dynamic song.
Musically, "Forged by Rage" features aggressive guitar riffs, fast drumming, and powerful vocals. The band experimented with different time signatures and tempos to convey the unpredictability of rage. The use of dissonant chords, diminished scales and sudden tempo changes enhances the feeling of chaos and tension throughout the track.
The recording of "Forged by Rage" took place at 2840 Margem Sul Estudios. The band aimed for a raw yet polished sound, capturing the live energy of their performances while ensuring clarity in the mix. Special attention was given to the balance between the instruments, allowing each element to shine without overpowering the others.
According to vocalist ARES BAAL
Society molds our personalities to embrace rage as an integral part of ourselves. We live in an environment where anger is cultivated, transforming our identities into a manifestation of constant indignation as a natural response to the adversities we face daily.
Forged By Rage is a sound blast, that reflects too many aggressive states in which humanity is living.
