    The album 'The First’, was released on August 1, 2021. The album contains 9 songs, and was recorded from March to July 2021 at XSTUDIOS studio in Limeira, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The album was produced by Gabriel Carvalho, also the composer of the lyrics and music. The album also brought a tribute to Warrel Dane (Nevermore), with the song Believe in Nothing. The guitar and bass sounds were produced by Ricardo Roque. Mix and Master were made by Alexandre Dipper. Artwork was made by Danilo Zacharias.
    The line-up for the album was: Gabriel Carvalho (vocals and keyboards), Marcelo Monteiro (guitars), Gilmar Cazagrande (guitars), Ricard Roque (bass), Douglas Polents (drums).
    On 'The First', the band tried to mix all the ideas around the songs, bringing an album that is not extremely technical, but with good, pleasant music, trying to capture even those who are not fans of heavy and prog metal bands. The compositions of the album's lyrics were of great relevance to the band, as XFEARS envisioned bringing true messages to the public, not singing about science fiction, but about everyday themes and facts related to life and human beings.

Take Control 05:12
I was seated in a chair Observing a cloudy night Cold wind against my chest And reflections deep inside We've been living a sick life Hollow minds just need to share No more chats, no more dreams, Tons of zombies on their screens But we still can take control, let's get back to old times Where we used to feed our souls With discoveries, with insights There's an emptiness everywhere Of ideas and ideals No more sweat for your beliefs A good picture is "everything" All the patterns are online A sea of lies you'll see the clues No more chats, no more dreams, Tons of zombies on their screens But we still can take control, let's get back to old times Where we used to feed our souls With discoveries, with insights But we still can take control, if this all makes sense to you, Stop wasting your time Don't let them get you mesmerized

Hell Is Here 05:18
They taught us about judgement day All your actions will be seen when you die For the rich hell is just a possibility For the poor hell is everyday People suffer from hunger and sickness This is not a bad dream it’s a reality Dark times we’ve been facing The men in power always lie in their speeches. Corruption is vivid they’re fucking kidding Fight this system, ‘cause hell is here We need freedom to persevere Fight the devils, they’re enemies Fight for better, ‘cause hell is here Everyday millions cry through the night While these bastards keep touching the sky Always trying to take our entire sanity Dark times we’ve been facing The men in power always lie in their speeches. Corruption is vivid they’re fucking kidding Fight this system, ‘cause hell is here We need freedom to persevere Fight the devils, they’re enemies Fight for better, ‘cause hell is here Fight this system, ‘cause hell is here We need freedom to persevere Fight the devils, they’re enemies Fight these bastards, ‘cause hell is here

No Regrets 05:09
Almost every night we watch ourselves Thinking about our loved ones And how long they will be by our side, sometimes it’s scary When you think one day, they will be gone So, this, is what I have to say, Don’t waste your precious time Don’t put it all behind Moments, they will never come back Enjoy every second of your life (Enjoy your time, Seconds of life, Like birds in the sky, shinning) They used to say that with one hand Was just enough to count our friends This is one of the biggest truths, listen to me, Just a few will be in the end with you So, this, is what I have to say, Don’t waste your precious time Don’t put it all behind Moments, they will never come back Enjoy your time, Seconds of life, Like birds in the sky, shinning Observing, day by day The Choices, in your mind Learning, watch your steps, Acting, with no regrets

I See 04:09
In a moment, things can change We don't know our destiny, no... Feeling well, sometimes you think I don't want anybody But there's a plan for everyone I will not tell you a cliché, no... And then I found her in my way The greatest energy Now, I See, if we believe, soul mates exist Believe, in me, you'll find the key, I See. But, there's a plan for everyone It will be your precious gift, your gift... And like the brightness of the stars You'll feel this energy Now, I See, if we believe, soul mates exist Believe, in me, you'll find the key, I See.

Endeavour 06:06
When you keep yourself thinking that everything is going to sink Only time will tell you, life is beautiful and shines All those problems, all the small and big ones All the people that held you, like stones trapped in the ocean and nothing will stop you (There is no), no one left to hurt you (Point your hands), your hands towards the sky (Cause your dreams), your dreams will never die Time flows like a waterfall Don't you worry, start again A new life full of feelings Just good memories will remain Good things have always been here But your choices made you sick Lessons learned, a new horizon It will be worth your endeavor When you keep yourself thinking that everything is going to sink Only time will tell you, life is beautiful and Shines All those problems, all the small and big ones All the people that held you, like stones trapped in the ocean Nothing can take away, the happiness of waking up So, feel free and let the energy boost you forever
7.
Into a strange new world, into the after All your tears might find you've fallen too far Take another look, take another ride Can't we make them leave the hate behind And I still believe in nothing Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow? Into the empty storm, into the formless loss of hope, Where we can forget the game And I still believe in nothing Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow? Nothing is sacred when no one is saved Nothing's forever so count your days Nothing is final and no one is real Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still Nothing

Done, What I've done It wasn't the real me What happened is hurting inside Done, it's done How can I change this? The side effects are taking my life.
9.
We live a life full of interactions Passing through the days facing X fears We face an intensification Of almost no time to breathe Everybody feels the pain Of carrying on their shoulders Some mistakes, some disbelieves There is a lack of power, and you underachieved But there's one specific pain That we call the worst pain When you fight against your mind Mainly against demons inside Where you feel the nightmares Even while you're wide awake It's about your main mistakes And you know that they were wrong And your head will take this long Mindfulness can be the key Friend, you have to believe You're the one to leave you free There is nothing else to do Only live in the truth There is nothing else to do Only live in the truth Leave all the past behind There's a new page to write You still have, some stories ahead This is just a matter of time
