AEgony by Drunken Crocodiles

Willpower, along with instinct and experience, distracts humans from pondering one fundamental question:
"Isn't it the ego that influences all actions? That ego, blinded by a base individualism, deviates from the harmonious path of human connection and the dimension of community?"
This reflection is the heart of the album.
Each track revolves around a real story that sparks the observation of different perspectives on the powerful ability of the ego to radically transform human nature,
which, on the surface, seems like a favorable condition; however, the criticality becomes apparent in the depths of the issue: the ego, so improperly perceived, leads only to the desire to dominate others,
to assert one's selfish self, to an illusory personal elevation at the expense of others. The Other is trampled by the brutality of the I.

We lose ourselves in thoughts, imagining the real possibility of a peaceful and collective I that ensures evolution is based on ideals of common goals
where the actions of the individual are closely connected to others and the outside world with the sole purpose of achieving universal well-being.
This solution requires an effort that humanity has never imagined making and which perhaps can only coincide with a utopia,
but we believe (and many believe) that the current path is an experience that is slowly but surely leading us toward the path of awareness:
thus, mistake after mistake, generation after generation, we will find the right path to follow.
