I can't see, I can't breathe all is fake, all is real is this really happening to me, to you? tried and failed, gained some knowledge or done nothing and succeeded at some nonsense randomly randomly Take your doctrine, turn around you were born on the other side Does it still work, does it feel reversed, now? Any oppression, any frailty Any branding, alienation would you still be ok with it, would you? Any abstention from expression any opinion may be hurtful any si lence maybe more maybe more maybe more Drifting toward involution twisted veins, timeless age Inhibition, no perception I can't see, I can't breathe some are dying, needlessly Maybe fear, maybe fight bring on inner revolution let the admission, heal your soul let it balance, past mistakes be the wisdom of the future bring on inner Evolution let the admission, heal your soul I can't see, I can't breathe all is fake, all is real is this really happening to me?

Are you ready for such great pain who will be close to me when the time comes? are you willing to do do whatever it takes are you ready for such great pain who will be close to me? when the time comes Silent screaming from such great pain hear that voice calling there's no greater fear for I am guilty, guilty forget me not Time is passing, you know grab it by the horns are you willing to resign and die? for we're all guilty, guilty forget me not I'll there walking back and forth in this or that room merging thoughts about a journey real or seen in a dream.

about

“At The Edge of Life”, the idea for the EP was inspired by our collaboration with Mr. Stephen Carey of The Eden House. It features such illustrious artists as Shir-Ran Yinon on violin, Doc Hammer on drums, Peter Bugg Rizzo on keyboards, drums and production, interpreting UNRELEASED songs from The Spiritual Bat’s upcoming full-length album (Mission:Create, release date tba), plus a staggering dance remix by EBM Industrial master, Claus Larsen of Leaether Strip.

It all started with the song “Mission”, a call to arms for creative people to reach out to each other and create, and build bridges, in spite of the general sense of gloom and isolation we were living during the most arduous moments of pandemic, and not only that. We felt creativity and reaching out could save us in dark, scary times, where the future was even more uncertain. Especially our future as music makers. Unable to play or even plan live shows, we played “Mission” in live streams, from our home studio, using a smartphone. Old friend and tour-mate Greg Scott Cruz heeded the call from Texas.

A regular contributor to The Spiritual Bat, Greg added a fourth dimension to the song through his transcendental keyboards. Later on, he also authored the video-clip which premiered on November 1st, complete with Shir-Ran’s breathtaking violin, Stephen Carey’s stellar production and mastering by the relentless wizard of masters, Gordon Young. This version of “Mission” deserved its own release. We wanted to make it a physical release, with few other extraordinary, special guests. Thanks to Swiss Dark Nights Label, this is now a reality.

It means a lot to us, that something inspired these extremely talented and very busy artists to take a moment for our songs, and to have our songs interpreted through their personalities. It is inspiring, energizing, and magic, on many levels. Our heartfelt gratitude to them, first and foremost, and to anyone who will care to listen, and to dive into the magic conjured up by music defeating genres and borders, bringing closer together Italy, Denmark, England, Scotland, Germany, San Antonio and New York City in the USA. May you feel moved and inspired to create, even when it seems impossible.
