lyrics

Sailing across the night sky past thousands of collapsing suns
I question the reason for our continued existence
What foul god placed us down here on this wretched planet
To toil in endless agony only to be left perpetually unfulfilled
Only to long for distant stars that we will never find on this Earth
The seething mass of humanity gazes upwards as one towards stars they will never reach
Only in their minds, never in the flesh
So we allow our hollow spirits to drift into the void
Eternally gravitating towards the chasm of that which will never exist
So far from our realities, we eternally enact our dreams
Missing so many opportunities we will never have again
Blind to so many realities lost to the irreversible flood of time
Forever bound to the flesh
Yet passing through countless dimensions

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Inventive upside down black metal that has you hallucinating. Sounds that expand your mind. Entleiber
