The 2010 Bandcamp version was limited to 1,000 free downloads. After that, it was taken down. It was put back up in May 2012 but at a price, not free.
The 2019 version has different mastering from the others; the remastering on that particular version was done in 2017 after the others were already released.

Guest appearances:
Safrina - Vocals (female)

For the 2 disc compilation featuring "Embrace the Dead", scroll down to 2017.
According to ask.fm, the sound clip in the intro to "Subsession / Once ..." is adapted from a royalty free sample disc. Apparently the same sample disc was used by the composer of the video game "Postal".
1) Subsession / Once Again It Failed
4:36, lyrics:
Dripping blood as violent rages on, engulfing our soils
Death is here, ringing fatality of civilization
Massacre, the murders at random, attempted genocide
Thousand years, social paralysis, fathomless irony
Humankind in conflicting nature, the beauty and the beast
Death to share, bringing fatality to civilization
Ideologies and social systems based on human theories
So basically, we're all into products of our corrupted brains!
Deep in the void of our hollow hearts
Is there any space left for souls to rest?
Deep in the void of our wounded minds
Is there any chance left for souls to live?
"No time to clean your bloody hands, the stains are there in your own blood!"
Many years we've tried to look ahead and find some solutions
But once again they fail miserably, yet life's still going on
Is there any space left for souls to rest?
2) Vox Diaboli
4:30, lyrics:
Within our senseless will, driving motives
No absolution for one's desires
Changes are minor, yet impact is unaccountable
No standard for achieving satisfaction
Rising from the depths of needs
Voices that will take control
The dances of demons inside the brain
Post-modern struggle within a self
When the basics are covered, alternatives taken
Creatively made options, a new world chaos
Many to choose from, but more yet to offer
The world is not enough as sky is our limit
Derived from disturbances
Arrival of morbid signals
When insanity approaches
The weak is the one who denies his weakness
No need to evaluate sin and its values
When it came to degenerate our existence
Accepting the power to wash-over self
Transformation is imminent
Rising from the hollow core
Someone who must take control
Invite the flame to purge and burn
Ruling the battle within a self
3) In Continuum
5:44, lyrics:
This is where they rose and fell
Things will keep to follow the same patterns
Once ill-defined, now much-accepted
No such real sense of anomaly
Winds have blown away every inch-block of debris
From the rubbles of our tragic yesterdays
Scenes will always in changing positions
But I doubt if they are progressing and transforming
Way we manage our lives on earth is
The way we destroy our desirable future
And we have tried, at least we've tried
To heal ourselves and learn from the past
Unexpected, the gazing X-factors
Start to crush from the inside
Time has washed away all these traumatic moments the earth once had
But will our children be free from all the wars?
Scenes will always in changing positions
But I doubt if they are progressing and transforming
Way we manage our lives on earth is
The way we destroy our desirable future
Like thick black dots in continuum
We will never erase or take them off the line
So many nails have pierced down our wooden existence
Leaving all these black holes until it comes to an end
4) Paradigma Baru
2:32, instrumental
5) Artifacts of Modern Insanity
5:16, lyrics:
We're in the beginning of the end of time
In the middle of the countdown
It's impossible to turn around
But who's aware of it?
Lost in the fields of thick deceptions
Up all nights and all days,
Creating more goals
Based on worldly views
Here it is, anywhere we look around we'll see
Proof of mankind's grand achievements
Backed by technological sophistication
But should we proud of it?
Lost in the fields of thick deceptions
Up all nights and all days,
Creating more goals
Based on worldly views, in worldly ways
What's in our minds?
With all these philosophical kinds
Of-modern frames of thoughts
A new-found old insanity
As we lost in the fields of thick deceptions
Up all nights and all days,
Creating more goals
Based on worldly views, in worldly ways
6) Violent Society
5:03, lyrics:
Understanding the patterns of social life
To bring forth contradictory goals
There is no double-standard in any stance
To fight for something worth to fight for
A clash of interests
Reconciliation is nonsense
When law has been paralyzed
Regulations out of order
Who wants to bring a fresh air
To this sick violent world?
Smell of death as we breathe
Can we make a stand?
Mass confusion in the wake of grand ignorance
Political maneuvers, dancing on a vicious circle
"divide et impera", a plot of reducing power of pawns
We, people are just too uneducated to be aware
A clash of interests
Victims of a new democratic atmosphere
The ones with necrophilic minds shall rise
And none can stop them as everyone's free
Who dares to bring a fresh air
To this sick violent world?
Smell of death as we breathe
Can we make a stand?
An opera of madness we found each day
Waging destruction, fascination on deaths
With such weapons and C4's ready to kill
Paranoid grandiosity or necrophilic fantasy?
Time for confirmation
To speak louder than before
A life in a violent society
We shall stand...
7) Subsession II
4:56, instrumental
8) Default
5:34, lyrics:
A vanity rises in the middle of our motion
With ever-changing colours of illusive existential components
Unfictitious presence, scars and withdrawal,
Leaving us to wonder...
I want to see, but my eyes are blind
Should I seek for a guidance of my life?
Beyond a flock of confusion
I ask for a return to original form
Without any agreement or consensus
Determination has already been chosen
Free us from a process of decadence
Free us from a procession to our graves
Back to the state where things just started
Back to the place where I belong
I want to see, but my eyes are blind
Should I seek for a guidance of my life?
9) Beyond Numerical Reasons
12:19, lyrics:
[I - 404 - The Broken]
404 - file not found
404 - broken link
404 - virtual void
404 - and so it stands
A universal code of all unfound files
Deep within the world of hypertexts
A message presents in the absence of URL
Unable to access and to download
The web as a holistic approach
For us to collect all information
A dream of more accessible world
In this cybernetic ivory tower
Powerless, as it appears at our monitors
The world of imperfectness, the world of ours
[II - 911 - The Black]
3 digits on a dialing code
To access departments of rescue
Numbers known for help-assistance
Related with a social security
Lines of governmental services
Working in a complete duty
Units seemed to be flawless
With funds that appropriately flow
Still, the world who never sleeps
It will never give up its darkside
Even the rescue code can be taken
As a symbol to create one big tragedy
When the very eyes of the world
Moved by a singular defining moment
Those numbers became a point for another meaning
At time when people both cry, or rejoice,
In the awakening of war!
[III - 70x7 - To Forgive Is to Suffer]
How often shall we forgive?
Up to 3 times?
Up to 7 times?
No, it is up to 70x7
We hear a sound of weakness in our minds
The rhythm of the twilight, and rhythm of the night
To give the guilty ones their second lives
And death was only price, a suffering and pain
For us, the unforgiven who get redeemed for free
So can't we give our "enemies"
The unconditional state of forgiveness?
To forgive is to be hurt
To forgive is to suffer

A Dream for a Moment (single, 2004, THT Productions)

Mentioned on Metal Archives. I have no other info.
1) A Dream for a Moment
5:51, see below for lyrics
2) Default (live)
6:18
Kekal Live in Europe (live video, NOT SURE IF LEGIT)
The artwork is just the photo from their Wikipedia page with black edges and text written over it.
I can't find any info about this, other than on database sites (RYM, MA, etc)
If this is legit, it was released in 2004 by SonnenGott Musik. It's a limited edition (150 copies) and it's in a jewel case. It's two DVDs.
DVD 1
1) Live in (Linkoping) Sweden & (Zwickau) Germany 38:32
DVD 2
1) Live in (Ede & Zwolle) Holland + Boudisque (Amsterdam) 58:43
Metal Archives says this is the tracklist for "the sets". So I guess it's the same setlist across both DVDs?
1) Intro/Subsession II
2) Vox Diaboli
3) Embrace the Dead
4) Source of Existence (only in Sweden)
5) Artifacts of Modern Insanity
6) Default
7) Spirits
8) Mean Attraction
Road Trip to Acidity (video,
NOT SURE IF LEGIT) 2005, Independent)
Format: "Video CD" (150 copies)
This news site posted about it on 30 June, 2005, so presumably it was released sometime around then.
Metal Archives describes it thus:
" A documentary video CD (VCD format) of the Road Trip to Acidity (promo concert supporting the release of Acidity album). Featuring approx 42 minutes KEKAL concert, behind-the-scene, interviews, and bonus video-clip "A Dream for a Moment'. "
The news site states it's a 2 disc set.

The 2021 remaster has different mastering than the 2014 remaster.
For the cassette version, tracks 1-5 are on Side A, and 6-10 are on Side B.
Kekal mention Fear Dark did both a CD and digital version. I have no information about that digital version.
I'm not sure if the August 2009 version is legit. It's not mentioned in Kekal's own discography, and there seems to be very little info about it online.
Strangely, the 2021 version is said to contain 2 bonus tracks, but the page only has 10 songs, same as all the other versions.
1) Characteristicon
5:59, lyrics:
Set to believe in a peculiar way
Under a hyperlogical mental occurrence
A truth beyond standardization
Beyond structural representation
As we can see
As we can hear
As we can feel
In many ways
Images from distinct classifications
Elements of thoughts minus speculations
Bizarre primary definitions
Demand no equivalence
Equipped by senses and imaginations
Systematics cycles of consistency
Individuality within a solid
Uniformal characteristics
Now we can see
Now we can hear
Now we can feel
We are not the same
Blessed with different gifts
2) Strength in My Weakness
4:55, lyrics:
It came along in one concrete form
A knowledge that turned me upside down
Let us put it this way: a new experience
Of living a life without me as I
Accept the nature and origin
Of our human condition
Believe that something defective
Flows down inside the blood of mine
Not a best thing to do, from the world's mindframe
To see all my pride diminishing
Given away this kind of strength once I had
To be replaced by a thing called faith
Accept the nature and origin
Of our undisputable weakness
Believe in something invincible
To take control of my whole
Accept the nature and origin
Of our undisputable weakness
Believe in something invincible
To take over my self
3) Thy Neighbor's Morality
7:30, lyrics:
I believe it is a politically generated act
When hundreds of civilians entering the scene to execute punishment
Taking a somewhat fascistic solution within a socialist environment
An ambivalence of goals; to make a better world or just spreading a fear?
Creating an instability within a supposedly peaceful neighborhood
Claiming to be the keepers of the "law", they search for victims
No tolerance for all the outsiders who live outside the "rule"
The use of violence occurs, and ironically it is permittable
There is no such difference between ignorance and hypocrisy
Living in a system where
Togetherness supremely reigns
To act the same, behave the same
The biggest concerns: moral issues
Letting the neighbors become the watcher
Problems of mine are problems of theirs
The privacy severely invaded
Time to reap from worthless seeds
Who are they to be the judge
For someone who lives next door?
To act the same, behave the same
The biggest concerns: moral issues
Don't they know, have they ever realized?
They are as guilty as the ones they judged
The privacy severely invaded
Time to reap from worthless seeds
(x2) Thy neighbor’s morality
Thy neighbor’s morality
4) A Dream for a Moment
5:52, lyrics:
Feel our time is descending
A metamorphic significance
In a dream for a moment
It comes near as strange as we are
Communicate omni-verbally
Centers hope and facility
Let the Spirit prays what we long
To redesign our future needs
Portal of our wishes
Entrance to a stage of balance
A spiritual archetype
To survive the miserable world
Communicate omni-verbally
Gathers hope and facility
Let the Spirit prays what we long
To redesign our destiny
Beyond our frail elements of conscious
There is a multi-dimensional capacity
Creating strong synergy of wish and reality
A drive to idealize values and quality
Communicate omni-verbally
Centers hope and facility
Let the Spirit prays what we long
To redesign our future needs
5) Broken
4:46, lyrics:
These feelings I can't explain
Months and even years of yearning
For the beauty that never come
Each day I find only dying souls
I know we have to enjoy the life
Yet I'm still complaining everything
Ever seems like never... no more
Colours translated as black in sight
Overshadowed by uncertainty
When will it become calm again?
Storms of disillusion wrecked my mind
Pull me to the state of total chaos
I know we have to enjoy the life
Yet I'm still complaining everything
Where is my faith as I had in the past?
I need to get it back right now!
6) Envy and Its Manifesto
5:58, lyrics:
Now listen!
Let's talk about something we know well, and its name is envy
Certainly not a similar kind with jealousy
And it is not about relationship, nor politics, nor a system
But instead, it is something to do with an individual drive
I see a path which is leading towards a life of depravity
It is clear, the ignorance acts as a destroyer of limits
A conscience set by one's ethical values is now questioned
When the initial point for the crime is about to be committed and executed
Walk this way
Gaining a chronic Cain-complex
Fade away
And kill the core of contentment
Every page of a book has its own substance that linked to the rest
The same thing applied exactly to humankind
People were born with all different shapes and patterns and uniqueness
Imagine what would happen if everyone owns the same everything?
Walk this way
A lifeline has been made dysfunctional
Fade away
And kill the core of contentment
7) The Way of Thinking Beyond Comprehension
8:51, lyrics:
Think harder and think again
Out in a confusion
When we no longer know how
To decide and to make a choice
What is right and what is wrong
We are what we become
We are not the present "us"
When we are tired to swallow it
Digesting our immobility of experience
To become a machine of our society
Stamped down within these concrete fields
A second next before deadline
Reality testing, an asymmetric completion
Is this what we call "life"?
Caught in a state of endless stagnation
We are what we become
We are not the present "us"
When we are tired to swallow it
Digesting our immobility of experience
To become a machine of our society
Stamped down within these concrete fields
Think harder and think again…
Nothing is plain impossible
Even for things beyond human capability
As long as there is a chance
And there is time who provides moments
8) Romantika Destruksi
2:25, instrumental
9) Blessing in Disguise
5:37, lyrics:
Picture of reality
Carved by the sequence of history
All integrated into one
As a traumatic side of this world
We are the pilgrims of questions
Search for the meaning of life
Moments of joys and of sorrows
Fused together in our existence
He who has why in his life
Can bear with almost anyhow
He who has reason to live
From all his tragedies come a blessing in disguise
Many lives don't know where to go
Walk the paths of deception
Must I follow them for comfort
If I know they are far from the truth?
He who has why in his life
Can bear with almost anyhow
He who has reason to live
From all his tragedies come a blessing in disguise
10) Empty Space
4:08, lyrics:
“Some of us… just can’t live the kind of life that other people want us to live. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t do it.”
Shadows, a presence of a void within
Journey towards the edge of life
Frigid, an ice filled blood inside
Keep me from the state of being alive
Numbness, deleting passion in one strike
Running, wandering through these empty roads
Darkened, to paint myself into black
Kept me from the state of being alive
Pushing these eyes to get
To get the second sight
What I feel is no pain
What I sense is emptiness
You got to fill me now
You got to kill my flesh
You got to mold my brain
Restructuring my thoughts
You got to burn my vein
And boil my ice-cold blood
You got to set me free
And break my chains away
