13. BEAST is a new project by composer Koen Holtkamp, known for his sweeping, maximalist work with Mountains, as well as his labyrinthian solo recordings. While taking some time away from music to focus on working with light and color his approach shifted, opening himself up to new working methods which led to the creation of a virtual ensemble of sorts. The process of refocusing on music found Holtkamp gravitating towards pieces centered on simple rhythmic patterns which, when built upon one another, create elaborately intertwining castles of sound. On Ens, Holtkamp reins in his sprawling sound with new resolve, crafting tightly constructed pieces of engaging and ecstatic beauty.
14. "BEAST” is a voice of and for the wilderness that combines poetry, theatrical masks, ancient rhythms, traditional and modern dance forms, with a heavy side of the blues. Beauty and mystery get woven into music and song that call your mind, body and soul back to the re-enchantment of the wild. Ecstatic prophecy mixed with theological insurrection dredged up from the swamp of souls and cooked over a slow burning midnight fire in the outback campsites of many resistance movements across time. BEAST listens to the elements, eats their messages and regurgitates it back to those listening through a sonic portal of lament, ancestral awakening, and defiance. https://beast11.bandcamp.com/releases

The lyrics of Beast's song Just Before Shock express the pain and heartache of a person who has been left by their lover. The first verse talks about how the person is trying to move on and find a new path, but they can't escape from the memories and feelings of their past love. They call out to their ex, but there is no response.
The second verse speaks directly to the ex-lover, describing how deeply they were in love with them and how much they miss their smile and touch. The chorus is a plea for the ex-lover to come back, confessing their love and apologizing for any mistakes they may have made. However, they also know that even if they beg and plead, there may be no response and no closure to their pain.
The song is a powerful depiction of the complexity of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a relationship. It shows the deep emotions that can be felt in the aftermath of a breakup and the difficulty of finding closure.
