aldi80s What would I answer if someone asks me what kind of music they plays in this album? I'd say:"just listen it and enjoy"
it's more electronic than Progressive Black Metal but so damn impressive.
I love that album! Favorite track: Jakartan Arch-Captor.

Poesy Rider Indispensable, comme presque tous les albums de Kekal !

Cyril Glaume Un groupe sans membre actif qui sort une heure d’Avant-Garde Metal miraculeuse mélangeant Black Metal, Electro, Prog planant et ambiances SF, entre Voivod, Sigh, Diabolos Rising, le Belial de 3 et que sais-je encore…

Favorite track: Dividend in Division.

Jared S. Technical, solo-heavy, brutal in the most unexpected ways.

If you liked Acidity, you'll love this. Favorite track: Dividend in Division.

Nocturnal Stalker It's really hard to describe this album, because it doesn't sound like any other. It's diverse, catchy, complicated, emotional, thought-provoking, honest... And I could go on. But my only advice is: listen to Multilateral and let it take you a marvellous musical journey. Favorite track: Token Discontentment.

neil A perfect introduction to Kekal as it introduces the listener to what could have been excerpts from the different phases of this unusual band. Favorite track: Jakartan Arch-Captor.

1.	Token Discontentment 05:31	lyrics	buy track
nothing makes you feel bitterer than being removed from the core autonomy without sense of realization speeding towards non-destination like a demon in the family of angels an alien within my own existence there is no place to fit in regardless of what i do and who i am learning the mechanism of pain that follows the same pathway as mine as suffering is part of one’s experience in life that should never be denied i have become a slave to my own way of understanding there is no place to fulfill my desire to escape from reality [august - december 2013]
2.	Dividend in Division 04:47	lyrics	buy track
anger, violence and death work, exhaustion and death anguish, suicide and death evil, murder and death our minds turn straight to division as logic fades itself toward oblivion pain sent to elevate bitterness do we love it more than a blunt statement? dream, desire and life faith, endurance and life hope, ambition and life love, devotion and life kill the thoughts you are trying to shift outside perimeter of synthetic conscience grasp a very motion from devoid intellect drift and fluctuate as truth was never explored tragedy brings apathy to ignorance like street lights beaming on empty avenues cognizance withstands the swarm of suffering as it never forgives, and it never forgets a mouthful of godforsaken emptiness formed featureless shapes among dead clouds i was amazed at the staircase leading nowhere but it drives dividend on a poor soul of mine [september 2012 - august 2013]
3.	Jakartan Arch-Captor 04:39	lyrics	buy track
you are your own enemy the power you seek is the power to oppose seize every opportunity where by itself is the source of problems your face is as a book where men may read strange matters your mind is a search engine to feed morbid curiosities in a virulent way fortune comes from unusual places if you ever believe in the unconventional let mind becomes the arch-captor entrance from this worn nonsense down into enigma [october 2012 - december 2013]
4.	By Means of Survival 06:13	lyrics	buy track
explore and discover new things each day follow the progress, riding the waves of change even burden always weigh heavily in the mind resistance is futile, there is no need to confront we cannot fight our time when clock is ticking on we cannot stand still when the earth rotates this is how we live and we are getting old generation ends another generation begins life only becomes precious when we make it be dreams will manifest when we seize the moments god knows our wishes, understands our pain there is an essence of our very existence [july 2012 - january 2013]
5.	Neutrality 04:32	lyrics	buy track
humankind of an equal essence should be given equal participation equal access to information and knowledge be part of open society in an open world one portal that fits everyone’s expressions eliminating hierarchies within social construction and to cease governmental interference in order to achieve preservation of neutrality absolute power corrupts absolutely realization of an ideal should be done collectively information sharing as a part of contributive mindset but this will always challenge our human nature elimination of self is the one most effortful condition in a society where the most popular act is to play god [january - december 2013]
6.	Multilateral 07:43	lyrics	buy track
have you ever ruminated about over-imposed vanity trying to keep the ground from floating into obscurity any attempt to summarize manifold complexities will find itself in a position where truth is just a mere property this room shall blend all the sounds of ideals coming from distinct opinions and theories unity is chaos and pandemonium on a set of wheels walls will administer contrasting sources without partiality set your attack - set your decay i want to believe there is assurance beyond all reasons maneuvers that eliminate contradictory matters of distinctions twisting perilously until all sounds start to dissolve and fade this selfishness will shatter as space inside began to agitate [september - october 2012]
7.	Metropolis Noir 05:14	lyrics
imagine a city without access to the open sky gloomy day is an everyday scene up above dark smog thickens my point of embattlement i could see, on its face, elucidation of despair seen so many times before, so many times these pages will not just turn by themselves world is so twisted that human life renders no value getting worse makes the element of progress you could tell wisdom is measured by profits granted limits beset chosen destiny if only you would swallow and digest everything the epitome of greed, was not a single stranger matter [february 2013 - september 2014]
8.	Crossroads 05:08	lyrics	buy track
one would argue it was far too close for a greater society reversing into calamity unbolted its threshold of fear and angst confusion heightened at the crossroads of destiny somehow nearing the boundaries of turmoil karma, justice, divine intervention equalizing intermingled imbalances from gloom, rise forth the glowing spirit of hope we should never dissolve our leap of faith keep reeling out to the omnipresent reality stretching our mere limits of understanding where the end is really just the beginning perceive what matters most to earn contented state realize its true forms of the animating principle the past, the present, the future as well god shall reconstruct our microcosmic aspirations [july - october 2014]
9.	Heyday (Unlike Today) 05:49	info
10.	Primal 06:30	lyrics	buy track
we cannot exist without exposure to adversity for life itself is spiced by elements of pain learning how to weather the storm that passes day by day remaining vigilant as far as mind can see to begin with, seasons are here for us to watch sometimes imaginations set us up for troubles as age flies by we cling to the first importance regain a footing after all the loss and failures find a way to ease our pain life unfolds in a passage of time bringing forth the sense of hope here we are, off we go [september 2013 - march 2014]
11.	The Unwritten 05:25	lyrics	buy track
what makes things certain the element that crawls from the edge of a beginning to the center of the end one may leave to question the validity of proclamation such thing exists in a written world a world full of manipulations what makes you wonder about what would aggregate misery and adversity becoming a singularity existence does not require confirmation experience is a gift of enjoyment be grateful of what you have today and you will be alright [february 2013 - october 2014]
