Track By Tracks: Mors Silens - Infernal Legacy (2025)

The album is the work of our singer's hands, practically from the very first moment to the last. This record literally describes what awaits us at the moment of our birth.

If we consider that the lyrics of the album depict the inherited past of humanity — and within it, each individual — a past which one either changes or does not. One either accepts it or tries to change it; it’s not necessarily black and white. This legacy is an extremely heavy burden in almost every case.

As a band, our view is that humanity — and the individual — never learns from its mistakes.

Our history has been a credible testament to this for thousands of years! 

Naturally, Tamás’s personal inspirations are also interwoven into the songs. The album describes the struggles of the individual along this path.

This path is one we walk only once, as it is unique and irreversible! The title track outlines this in full.

The second song is The Chronicles of Chaos…

The lyrics vividly portray how a person recounts the path that led the world to the brink of destruction. How immeasurable greed and the thirst for power drag us into hell. It is narrated from the perspective of a child who later becomes an adult.

Alastor is an example taken from Greek mythology.

A demon evokes a chain of blood feuds spanning generations, maintaining this diabolical cycle.

End of Eternity.

The message of the song offers the possibility of breaking out of the eternal cycle. There is a chance not to be prisoners of our past. It offers the possibility of change, though only very few are capable of achieving it — and only at the cost of immense sacrifice and bloodshed.

Scorn.

In contrast to the previous song, this one deals with the possibility of total failure. As we know from our past, entire civilizations have vanished — this danger is still completely real today. If we maintain this current trajectory, it will lead to humanity’s downfall. The song is mostly addressed to the next generation, who still have a chance to change things.

The Room.

The captivity of someone who overthinks.

It’s about a person who opens a door in their mind that they knew they never should have.

A bit like in a fairy tale, when you are given a key to every room in the castle, but there's one you must not open — and yet you do. Musically, this song is a kind of “easter egg,” as we took a more delicate tone compared to our usual style. But from that room, there is no way out.

Scarlet River.

It depicts humanity's endless battle — we always believe that after every great war fought against one another, that one was the last. Yet humanity has learned nothing from any of them.

We endlessly destroy one another, and in times of peace, we prepare for the next war. This song describes a war that will one day come and will be remembered by all of humanity. A river that is painted red with the blood of soldiers — endlessly.

Nine Circles of Hell.

The song speaks for itself. Inspired in part by Dante's Inferno, it presents the series of judgments awaiting sinners. We also made a music video for the song, with the explicit intention of evoking discomfort in viewers. We used AI to create it, confident that it would provoke reactions — and unsurprisingly, it did :) We used the technology of our time, which many view with skepticism — yet still use... The reception has been controversial, as with any new development. But eventually, everyone ends up using it. Look, it's like this: some people outright refuse to listen to the song just because we used AI for the visuals and didn’t release it as a simple lyrics video.

Still, regardless of the song itself, it managed to divide the audience.

It’s evident that even within a community, petty things can spark conflict.

And that’s exactly what the whole album is about — that unless we change this attitude, we are doomed to the same fate.

Rise of the Dark One.

Well, the final song on the album essentially portrays the fulfillment of failure.

When we are forced to face the consequences of our decisions.

We have failed — as we have so many times before — and we will continue to do so because of our own flaws. Humanity will bow its head, because we never learned — and never will! This is our curse...
