With thrashing guitars, thick drums, and a heartbeat kick, "Monster" is here to shake you awake from your nightmares with powerful and anthemic vocals by Anji Kaizen. This song is about someone giving in to their Monster within - featuring screams from Cameron Berner, a metal vocalist of the Atlanta music scene.
Releasing on October 29th, just in time for Halloween, this is Anji Kaizen's most hard rock / intense song to date.
lyrics
There was no warning of the poison in your soul
Until it lost control
A nightmare forming in the depths of your skull
You can’t fight it alone
And you could have been braver
But you gave in
Suffocated by the monster within
The slightest bit of pressure
And you caved in
Overcome by the monster within
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
You were consumed by
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
Overcome by the monster within
Where will this story end?
A nightmare repeating, inside of your head
Just another victim claimed
By the bloodthirsty hunger inside of your veins
Ha-ah oh whooo
Inside of your veins
Ha-oh oh oh oh oh
You could have been braver
But you gave in
Suffocated by the monster within
The slightest bit of pressure
And you caved in
Overcome by the monster within
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
Oh - oh
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
A monster, monster
Whoa-oh
A monster
A monster
Overcome by the monster within
