1.	The Vampire Song 06:01	lyrics
the good, the bad and the ugly all share one side of a coin while the other side has the x-factor we never want to come across so many things beyond our control, so many possibilities adjoin preparing promptness to accept either gain or loss i never thought of getting myself so deep into facing this kind of reality searching for a common response to every individual happening experiences brought us a coping-formula with lots of "how's" but not even one came close enough to suit with another preparing promptness to look for a supernatural guidance i never thought of getting myself so deep into facing this kind of reality which sacrifices everything out of me here i stand naked before the mighty destiny i never dreamed of taking a pilgrim's role settlement was the only wish i made arranging visions and expectations my goals slowly fade when life takes over
2.	Conditional Destiny 06:15	lyrics
sympathy for the ones who lost in their battles giving extra courage to the dying others life would easily devour us in the most evil way while we try to identify with the law of nature they might believe in a survival of the fittest some say it's a survival of the luckiest or maybe even survival of the prettiest in the end, you will just see someone survives religions teach methods of a survival of the holiest you would rather be a survivor of the luckiest or maybe even survivor of the gentlest however, we do desire us to survive in our world of randomness we wish to design our grand destiny avoiding any factor of changeableness steer clear from option towards extinction in our world of randomness we wish to design our grand destiny a destiny which is entering into the psyche and in our world, it's beyond our control having open oxygen to breathe easily freedom from now, but this does not work that way we never know if someday we must pay-per-inhale as we cannot expand our dimensional limits
3.	Against 05:53	lyrics
shining - darkened - warming coldness i am, you are, in this mortal coil there is something inside you who always try to fight against me and something inside me who always want to deny you an animal of pseudo-consciousness i have become a light of truth is hiding inside my illicit darkness so many years of seemingly unending contradictions so many times i'd given up in battling this depression an animal with lack of self-esteem i have become always mean to keep these devils within my cavities
4.	Ceasefire Negative 05:41	lyrics
an acquired savor is underway never to let it pass facing tremors and discordance with vigor and persistence you cannot stop me from believing in things you don’t understand this passion is my firm weapon to kill all mediocre thoughts tear down these solid walls and liberate the spirits inside new dawn shall greet us all true believers of new renaissance off the beaten path, we walk with eyes and minds wide open confronting ignorance and counter-cultural conformity you cannot stop me from conceiving about things you don’t relate to hoping someday you will realize this war is for our good
5.	Between Us 06:24	lyrics
something's surely not for everyone never know never want to tell, to share adjusting my dream-to-reality ratio should i go should i face against both extremes? i need to be a man who enjoys his fear try to get used with this opacity i need to see beyond those clouds of doubts to play around with this obscurity a fusion of dreams, wish and illusions at some degree my mind just told me: "that's unreal" sometimes i feel tired of praying everyday asking god same kind of thing over and over again i need to be a man who walks his shoes try to invent my own felicity i need to see beyond those clouds of doubts to play around with this obscurity
6.	For The Greater Good And Evil 07:52	lyrics
i am the bearer of this pain holding sunset of my dying race existence diminished as the genes of darkness crossed my very path watching chances go away passing bridges of nothingness there is no such love or hate passion with life is what i long it's all for the greater good and evil that is still lurking waiting for the right moment to attack me from the inside
7.	Narrow Avenue 04:21	lyrics
there was time that we were wary of our life all those days we spent taking instead of giving watched my world collapsing in front of my eyes i'd exchange its debris for a small new beginning in the coldest freezing breeze of winternight i see stars on my path all the way back home in my dream i could embrace my whole world and the future that is here within a reach i must take the narrowest way
8.	Virtue Of Perseverance 07:48
9.	Shuffling Biorhythms 04:51	lyrics
exposing skin to hidden solar bites radiate me with your midnight sun the beauty of insomnia starts to hypnotize clinging to my disrhythmical sense of hope no permanent cycle for us the unseen in quest to find a glimpse of tomorrow forseen nothing less of an exact rotating order reaching out from within, a constant state of change believing in a nearest doorway to find real sunlight as i awaken having a goodnight when the sun comes out dawn or dusk it does not matter anymore feeling somewhat lacking thinking somewhat deceiving confusion is here and now in my collateral windows
10.	All That Matters 05:08	lyrics
innocent eyes of a child could give us an insight on how she sees the world in a much different perspective we've passed our innocent days since many years ago trade them with anger and despair and with constant discomfort the way we stand together the way we fall together the way we deal our lives together it's all that matters yesterday has gone for good tomorrow will never be the same today is the most difficult time for us to understand the plan the way we walk together the way we cry together the way we risk our lives together it's all that matters

about

==This is the 10th Anniversary Edition Re-Mastered (2018)==

7th full-length studio album from KEKAL. Originally released in 2008.

“Audible Minority” is based on the fact that the music on the album has mapped itself into the extreme minority status: something beyond recognition of the musical norms.

“Audible Minority” is a stateless, nameless, and label-less manifesto made from all the bitterness and pain. The album that is entirely bleak, gloom and dark: a perfect collision of metal and extreme electronic music as well as dark, stripped-down emotional jazz and blues. Kekal combines organic rock instruments with the use of multilayered ‘power electronics’ feedback noises, loops, samples, Moog synths, turntable scratches and theremin, to mention some.

Almost 2 years in the making, “Audible Minority” was constructed during various personal events of the band members’ lives.
