In 1993, the group carries out a single of six tracks which already included early versions of Kamikaze Blows and Wheel of Fortune that got their final forms 10 years later.

After the split of Black Maria in 1993, You moves to Tokyo in 1996, then to New York in 1997, to come back in Japan only in 1998. During this period he studies music and musical programming.

At the end of 2002 he solely composes four tracks under name Kadenzza. At the start of 2003, these songs are put out under the name of The Reality In The Phantasmagoric World. In June of the same year, the French label Holy Records signs Kadenzza and releases his first revolutionary album Into The Oriental Phantasma.

In September 2005, the Japanese artist with exacerbated frenzy does it again and submits his second album torn between intimism and hysteria to the world. The Second Renaissance is a sequence of multiple inspirations where extreme black metal offers its entries within virtuoso symphonic and innovative music.

The Wolfoid
Kadenzza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red eyes searching for your flesh and blood
iron claws for tearing up white skin
bloody fangs are ready for your first taste
I'm the wolf incarnated as man.

Dead or alive?
You can't choose anything.
Anguish and fear

waiting for you're coming in hell.

The sinful nectar dripping from your nasty lips
aroused my hidden nature in the beast as man
with screaming in the pleasure of sweet pain
you're fated to conceive my child, you bitch!

Dead or alive?
You can't choose anything.
The way to survive
you must inherit my fate.

I'm not man disguised as dog...
I'm wolf disguised as man...
society created me
and finally denied the existence.
But remember, the hunter only kills the wolf...
it's in the fairy-tale world...

Dead or alive?
You can't choose anything.

I dare to die
to survive in the legend of terror.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kadenzza's song "The Wolfoid" paint a gruesome and violent picture of a man who has become a werewolf - a creature with the instincts of a wolf and the body of a man. The lyrics describe the werewolf's intense hunger for flesh and blood, and the way his body is equipped with razor-sharp claws and fangs. The song is full of anger and aggression, and the lyrics suggest that the werewolf's existence is one of pain and anguish.

The second verse of the song goes further into the werewolf's desire for a mate. The lyrics suggest that the werewolf sees the woman he desires (referred to as "you, bitch") as nothing more than a vessel for his spawn. The language used in the lyrics is dehumanizing and violent, as if the werewolf has completely lost touch with his humanity and sees himself as nothing more than an animal.

The final verse of the song hints at the werewolf's sense of ostracism from society. The lyrics suggest that he was created by society but ultimately rejected for his animalistic nature. The final lines of the song, "the hunter only kills the wolf... it's in the fairy-tale world", seem to suggest that the werewolf is resigned to his fate - to be hunted and killed like a fairytale monster.

Overall, the lyrics to "The Wolfoid" are a dark and disturbing exploration of the werewolf mythos. The song paints a picture of a violent, animalistic creature that is driven by hunger and base desires, and ultimately rejected by society.
