After being evolved under the influence of Electro/Industrial music, the French project A7ie has been established in the year 2002 under the name Aseptie. Initially it was intended, to built an instrumental music project, which experiments with harsh and distorted beats supported by dark and melodic background sounds. The first track under the usage of vocals has been launched in 2005 and has entered a slot on the compilation ”In This Cold Terrific Room 2”, released by the label La Chambre Froide (France). ”Pray (This Agony)” has received fantastic reactions by both, audience and press, and has been played in many clubs worldwide.
IS THAT THE TASTE OF SORROW?
After several remixes for bands like Agonoize, Tamtrum or Alien Produkt, the band name finally got changed into A7ie and a first single entitled ”Messiah” has been released. Some appearances on international compilations like ”Gothic Magazine”, ”Goth Is What You Make It Vol. 2” or ”Extreme Sündenfall Vol.6” could have been arranged too.
Under the slogan ”sick music for sick people”, A7ie returned in September 2007 with the debut album ”Distress”, released on both labels, La Chambre Froide and Rupal Records (Germany). This album has been produced by the German studio wizard Jan L. (X-Fusion/Noisuf-X) and thanks to its sick and depressive content, ”Distress” has been announced as being the best Dark Electronic album of the month.
“ Distress is an album that offers 11 detonating and commitedly hardcore EBM / Dark Electrotracks replete with the hardest beats and the most monstruous distorted vocals… A Real must for fans of the harsh stuff…”

“ After some cool discoveries like Tamtrum, Skoyz and Neon Cage Experiment, A7ie is one more band emerging from the French dark electro corner and in my eyes the most convincing one for so far. A7ie creates a sonic state of terror crafted through devastating powerful tracks where danceable vibes and nightmarish atmospheres are melting together. ”

I HAVE FILL MY HEART WITH HATE
Three years after the stunning success of ”Distress”, A7ie is on returning with a new album called ”The Shattering”, now signed to Advoxya Records (Hungary). For this album, wounds in all forms have been named as being the main album theme, without any room for remorse and regrets. Heavier than ever and very danceable produced, so take care.... Time has come to endure HATE!

The Cage
A7IE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever trapped in this cell, remembers as only friends
Hear me cry all my tears, listen to my memories
Forever trapped in this hell, free my soul will be my help
Let me be, I'm a slave, that's my choice
Let me be, I'm a slave, that's my life
The lyrics of A7ie's song "The Cage" depict the painful struggle of a person trapped in a metaphorical cage of their own creation. They are a slave to their own demons, and feel trapped within their own psyche. The imagery of a "rotten corpse in an empty cage" drives home the sense of decay and despair that characterizes the singer's experience. They have never tried to escape, seemingly paralyzed by their own fear and hopelessness. The only friends they have are their own memories, which they hold onto as a source of solace and comfort in their desperate situation.
The singer calls out, crying all their tears, begging for someone to listen to their memories and see the pain that they are in. They feel as though they are forever trapped in this hell, but they hold onto the hope that one day their soul will be free. The repetition of the phrase "let me be, I'm a slave, that's my life" speaks to the desperation the singer feels - they have internalized their own oppression and feel as though it is an unchangeable aspect of their identity.
Overall, "The Cage" is a hauntingly beautiful song that speaks to the human experience of being trapped within oneself. The lyrics are a poignant plea for help and a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding in the face of pain and suffering.
Line by Line Meaning
Rotten corpse in a empty cage, never tried to escape
A lifeless body lays in a cage, devoid of any attempts to break free
Forever trapped in this cell, remembers as only friends
The prisoner remains confined in the cell, with no one but distant memories as companions
Hear me cry all my tears, listen to my memories
I plead for someone to hear my anguish and share in the recollection of my past
Forever trapped in this hell, free my soul will be my help
Being imprisoned in this inferno, I can only hope for liberation to bring solace to my tormented soul
Let me be, I'm a slave, that's my choice
I accept being subjugated to this confinement, as it was my own decision
Let me be, I'm a slave, that's my life
Being enslaved is all I know and perhaps all I will ever know in my life
