LDL CORE - Shadow Work | Nekyia (Official Audio)

Track: Shadow Work Artist: LDL CORE Album: Nekyia Track 8 of 13 from the conceptual album "Nekyia". This chapter marks the most brutal psychological confrontation: facing the Shadow. The protagonist stops projecting his own repressed darkness, anger, and failures onto the outside world. To become whole, one must unlock the cage in the basement of the psyche, look the inner monster in the eyes, and integrate its raw power. This track is pure, unadulterated aggression-a sonic reflection of the visceral pain required for true Shadow Work. 🎧 Listen to the full album:    • NEKYIA   📜 Album Description: Nekyia is a 13-track dark cinematic metalcore concept album exploring the ultimate descent into the human psyche. It chronicles the journey of a mind that dared to confront the depths of madness, mapped the ancient waters of the collective unconscious, and integrated its darkest shadows. From the clinical ticking of word association and the terrifying apocalyptic visions of a sinking continent, to the alchemical marriage of opposites and the building of a final stone sanctuary. This is not just an album; it is a sonic transcription of a deeply personal confrontation with the soul, documenting the painful but necessary process of individuation. "No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell." ⚙️ Production Note: I am a systems engineer and an architect, not a singer. Because I have no natural predisposition for vocals, the voice for this project was conceptualized, generated, and intricately tuned using advanced neural networks. This technology allowed me to bring the architectural vision of this story to life exactly as it was meant to be heard. All lyrics, structural compositions, and thematic concepts are original. 💿 Nekyia Tracklist: 01. The Wooden Mannequin 02. Burghölzli 03. The Crown Prince 04. Schisma 05. Soror Mystica 06.

Past the smile. Past the saint. Down into the basement of your soul. What are you hiding? There is no light without the dark. And the roots of the tree... must reach down to hell. [Verse 1] I strip the Persona, I tear off the mask! I’m failing the social, obedient task! We bury the anger, we bury the lust, We hide the deformities under the dust! You think you are righteous, you think you are pure, But the sickness inside you is begging for cure! The heavier the burden, the darker the stain, The shadow grows longer the more you feign! [Pre-Chorus] Stop pointing the finger! Stop passing the blame! Withdraw the projection and whisper its name! The monster you hate in the world out there, Is breathing right now in your own cold air! [Chorus] I embrace the Shadow! I welcome the night! I am ending the endless, invisible fight! You cannot be whole if you only seek grace, You have to look into the enemy’s face! The gold is concealed in the filth and the mud! I am washing my hands in my own dirty blood! I integrate the beast, I unlock the cage! I turn my own terror into my rage! [Verse 2] If you do not own it, it dictates your fate. It whispers in shadows, it teaches you hate. It bleeds into nations, it starts all the wars, The unlived existence behind locked doors. We burn down the witches, we slaughter the weak, To silence the truth that the shadow would speak! I refuse to project it, I swallow the pill. I am the victim, and I have the will to kill! [Pre-Chorus] Stop pointing the finger! Stop passing the blame! Withdraw the projection and whisper its name! To reach up to heaven and stand in the light, The roots must descend to the pitch-black night! [Chorus] I embrace the Shadow! I welcome the night! I am ending the endless, invisible fight! You cannot be whole if you only seek grace, You have to look into the enemy’s face! The gold is concealed in the filth and the mud! I am washing my hands in my own dirty blood! I integrate the beast, I unlock the cage! I turn my own terror into my rage! [Breakdown] I AM THE MONSTER! I AM THE BEAST! I SIT AT THE HEAD OF THE CANNIBAL FEAST! NO MORE ILLUSIONS! NO MORE DENIAL! I PUT MY OWN SANCTITY PURELY ON TRIAL! OWN YOUR DARKNESS! OWN YOUR DAAAAARKNESS! [Guitar Solo] [Outro] The fight is over. The shadow is mine. The dark and the light... Begin to align. I am not perfect. But I am whole. #Metalcore #CinematicMetal #ModernMetalcore #ShadowWork #ConceptAlbum #LDLCore #HeavyMetal #HeavyMusic #AggressiveMetal #Nekyia
