Welcome to Absurdistan, Bitch Chapter 1 - The Tension Rises This could have been a wonderful place But they’ve managed to ruin it all The fucking thieves disguised in suits Have stolen our future Corruption is legal Spreading hate is legal But it’s a crime to have a fucking brain It’s a crime to question this madness Life here is a fucking hangover Non-stop looking over your shoulder You cannot hide they will attack You'll end up with a shiv in your back People here chew on hatred Because they are fucking frustrated An army of paid liars has risen And we are underdog citizens The propaganda machinery Is going to grind all your brain cells Vomit is flowing like a river Visual verbal and mental Until you finally surrender But you should not surrender Because the thieves disguised in suits Are gonna take everything There’s no consolation prize You either win or die in this game of lies No one hears your cry for help You've gotta fucking stand up for yourself In the end it’s us or them Hunt or be hunted - kill or be killed We're not the sheep and we don't forget They’re gonna pay for their crimes against us Chapter 2 - Time Capsule If you read or hear this Do not think you're safe You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next In this age of frustration An age fear and manipulation You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next As communities collapse As contradictions collapse You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next As nature collapses As society collapses You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next As the tension rises On the verge of war and crisis You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next As the tension rises There will be no surprises You’re gonna be next You’re gonna be next Chapter 3 - Message in the Dirt Welcome to Absurdistan, bitch! Welcome to Absurdistan, bitch! Welcome to Absurdistan, bitch! Welcome to Absurdistan, bitch!

Feel Alive 05:09
There’s a war inside my head There’s a war inside my soul There’s a war inside my brain But I don’t care at all Reality is overrated I’m travelling to a different place Nobody likes reality Because it fucks you in the face I don’t care that I feel so fucking cold inside I don’t care that the whole world is a suicide I wanna feel alive I wanna feel alive This is a fucked up journey A fucking journey in my head I’m gonna bring my dreams Back from the dead So I can finally say goodbye Goodbye to you Killer of my dreams Bringer of my doom Don’t blame me I just wanna try How it feels to be alive To spread my own wings and fly I just wanna feel alive

There’s an invisible parasite Feeding on my brain I want to crack my skull and tear it out To get rid of the pain There’s no way to kill it with a poison It only poisons me And the invisible parasite Will never let me be There’s an invisible parasite Messing with my head I want to crack my skull and tear it out Because it wants me dead There’s no way to kill it with a poison It only poisons me And the invisible parasite Will never let me be

Autumn 08:16
Staring at black mirrors Mirrors of dissonance Dissonance that eats us We don’t stand a chance Flowering is over Our life becomes a lie Withered and exhausted We become a sigh Our time is running out Our time is running out Our time is running out We cannot really cope with The impending nevermore In the Autumn of hurricanes We fight our inner wars Despite the optimistic forecasts We cannot be saved Before we make shiny coffins The Earth becomes our grave You can see the anxiety in our eyes We will be put to sleep by dystopian lullabies

Zero Kelvin 05:23
My frozen hands wave goodbye to the Sun And spring will never come Inside a void covered in ice I watch my heart crystallize This winter is different It is going to last forever This winter is different This time hell freezes over Frozen planets Frozen stars Frozen wounds and Frozen scars No more blood Will melt the ice No more heartbeats Will break the silence My frozen mind says goodbye to the light As I feel the hands of the night And I slowly fade away Fade away into nothingness Frozen planets Frozen stars Frozen wounds and Frozen scars No more blood Will melt the ice No more heartbeats Will break the silence

about

Zero Kelvin is a collection of dystopian lullabies. A journey through landscapes of disphorian metaphors. A bottle filled with the frozen water of the black sonic river.

"I’ve enjoyed my time with Zero Kelvin. There’s a lot of genuine emotion in Balázs’ singing and despite my previous comments, the diversity in songwriting and style kept me interested in what might come next in and between songs." - A Certain Taste (acertaintaste.co.uk/review/vanta-zero-kelvin)

"Hands-down, Zero Kelvin is Vanta's best work yet, and delivers a solid album with exciting experimentation that adds to the music rather than distracting from it." - Fuzzy Cracklins (www.fuzzycracklins.com/2021/07/vanta.html)

"Each of the six tracks presented on the album are incredibly diverse and stand up by themselves on their own merit and when listened to as a whole, add just that something extra special.

If you're looking for some fresh new, intense and heavy sludge/doom then give this album a listen, especially if you're a fan of Mastodon, Cult of Luna or Neurosis. " - Metal Saves (www.metalsaves.co.uk/post/vanta-zero-kelvin-review)

"Zero Kelvin isn't as gelid as you might think, and its maternal affection is enough to thaw the rivers that hold prehistoric lifeforms hostage. Drift on forevermore, benevolent leviathans! " - Cvlt Legion (www.facebook.com/cvltlegion/posts/2843604219221510) 9/10

"VANTA is a vast mix of genres, mixing lots of styles within rock and metal; to arrive at an altogether different sound. I would say, post-rock, grunge, melodic metal, with twinges of death metal. Dystopian, urban, and futuristic. This album is an in your face, revamping of 90’s post rock and grunge, rewritten to modern proportions; with, at times, a very unusual vocal style." - Metal Temple

"Ez mint első több mint jó, enyhén próbálkoztak a határok feszegetésével is, többnyire sikerrel. " - Ópiumbarlang (opiumbarlang.blog.hu/2021/06/19/vanta_zero_kelvin) 8/10
