about

Synthetic Happiness delivers a thunderous drum intro, paying homage to the late KISS drummer Eric Carr (R.I.P.).
This nod to the raw energy of their 1982 album Creatures of the Night specifically the title track and its electrifying live rendition from the subsequent tour, sets the stage for an intense journey.

The lyrics dig into the gritty reality of chasing artificial highs, echoing the struggles of addiction and mental illness in a language that hits close to home.

With its modern twist on classic heavy metal, this track plunges you into the chaotic world of the protagonist's fractured mind, leaving you craving

*** This homage is a reflection of our drummer's dedication to honoring the influential pros of the past. Aswe move forward, our upcoming songs will continue to feature nods to other drummers, serving as a testament to their impact on our music and the metal genre. ***

lyrics

Synthetic Happiness

Dopamine rush
Adrenaline tingle
Crash down amphetamine hit
I'll find a way to get another hit

Yeah synthetic happiness
Will put my ass down a mud hole
I am trying to save myself
But i persist in seeking for more

Yeah synthetic happiness
Drinking and snorting all night long
I am trying to save myself
But I return longing for more

Paranoia
Suicidal thoughts
One more time to kill the pain
Maybe tomorrow I'll be in wonderland

Yeah synthetic happiness
Will put my ass down a mud hole
I am trying to save myself
But i persist in seeking for more

Yeah synthetic happiness
Drinking and snorting all night long
I am trying to save myself
But I return longing for more

I haven't slept for days
Scared of my own shadows
A dark long path laying ahead full of sorrows
And in that moment
I am alone
Lost in a world that exists only in my mind
A prisoner of my own fractured reality
I glance at the mirror but the reflection staring back at me
The walls close in
Suffocating me
I cannot breathe
I can't fucking breathe
