When I heard the opener I had a big WTF moment, but then again, when I was a teen I was also into techno and electronica, so... :) yeah, well... While this is not my favourite album of ...And Oceans, it does have a few tracks that got me to obsessive repeat level. "Towards the Absence of Light" and "Förnyelse i Tre Akter" are my favourites.
Favorite track: Förnyelse i Tre Akter.

This album is incredible. I enjoyed the industrial era of A.M.G.OD. and Cypher. great albums. This album blends their entire discography perfectly. It is a reformation to their style and everything they have tried to do with absolutely pristine balance.
The second track even has pagan black metal vibes. The whole album gives me chills. it doesn't happen often. Amazing work fellas. Favorite track: Förnyelse i Tre Akter.

The primary manifestations
of quiescence
The principle of paralysis
Shadow and smoke
Oh, inertia!
Wide awake, immobilized
Static flesh, somnambulant
Pull me and I'll retract
Push me and I'll push back
Keep me in stagnation, guard my sleep
Open my eyes with my mind buried deep
Oh, inertia!
Keep me in your tight grip.

När annonsören till slut tystnar
och pjäsen äntligen begynner
Bakom rökridåer och scenografi
en ny värld tar sig form
När ridån slutligen faller
och sorlet äntligen dör ut
Bortgömd bakom kulisserna
en annan plats sig avslöjar
Genom draperiets glömda sömmar
en glimt igenom där inströmmar
En bild av en människa
En bild av ett landskap
En bild av en värld,
som tagit sig fäste
När salongen på nytt börjar fyllas
och sorlet igen återvänder
Denna gömda värld introduceras
framför publiken att beses
Denna värld
Detta landskap
Denna samma skådespelare
med samma målmedvetna strävan
Genom draperiets glömda sömmar
en glimt igenom där utströmmar
En bild av en människa
En bild av ett landskap
En bild av en värld,
som förlorat sitt fäste

Whatever, whenever, wherever
the Mender proclaimed,
the word was followed
Whatever, whenever, whatsoever
the Mender offered,
anything was swallowed
Chromium lungs, beryllium skin
Becoming one with the poison within
Bronze optics, copper blood
Unfolding the self and letting it in
Wherever, whenever, wheresoever
the Mender appeared,
the flock him followed
Chromium lungs, beryllium skin
Becoming one with the poison within
Bronze optics, copper blood
Unfolding the self and letting it in
Vehement, plastic dreams
Atrophic, spastic screams
Picked one by one
from the branch of the Nurturer
In his loud, deafening absence
stagnation is at the hands of the Mender
Taken one by one
from the branch of the Mender
In his loud, deafening whispers
progression slips through the fingers of the Nurturer

The finite, the form
Manifest the infinite
Inherit the cosmic rhythm
The eternal path to perfection
The revelation
and then the manifestation
Creating its own design,
the energy and intangible ether
…and from its echoing halls,
unto our earthly fields
One geminated shape
The form and the formless
The form and the formless
and its geminated shape
The revelation
and then the manifestation
In its own design,
its endless most formless form
The infinite, the formless
Manifest the highest
The inmost intimate course
A path to the ultimate

Injecting the mirrorlike waters
Feeling it flowing within
Floating on its waves
Observing how it unfolds
Now,
I am the medium
I am the stream
In times nigh to the absorption
Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide
Preparing to be forgotten,
as mercury drips from my side
Vehement liquid dreams
Atrophic silver screams
Drowning in argent colors
This vast bottomless ocean
Bleeding the mirrorlike waters
Seeing it flow from my side
Seeking the next wave
Observing the change within
Still,
I am the medium
I am the stream
In times nigh to the absorption,
Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide
Preparing to be forgotten,
as mercury drips from my side
Vehement liquid dreams
Atrophic silver screams
Drowning in argent colors
This vast bottomless ocean
…none more of this,
into this…
Ambiguous vivid dreams
Alleviated golden screams
Ascending in argent colors
From this vast bottomless ocean

Maelstrom of the inner world
A kaleidoscope of dim thoughts
The shape of the breath
lost under the spheres
Broken reflections, chaos intertwined
A curtain of void where no light is defined
Burn the flesh
Raise the curtain
Enlighten the path
Life is the essence from which we will learn,
that time is the fire in which we burn
The journey through the filters darkly concealed
Only through fire the process is revealed
Burn the flesh
Raise the curtain
Enlighten the path
The current of the conscious mind
A library of thoughts re-indexed
The shape of the breath
in the presence of the spheres
Mended mirrors, thoughts realigned
The curtain of void lifted, where no light’s defined

The Ways of Sulphur
04:17
|
|||
|
Elemental burning stone,
bring the pure essence of life
Chemical amber crystal,
fertilize the broken soils
In hidden caverns…
React! Release!
Under the surface…
Extract! Erupt!
The unbinding of minerals
Release and separate
Trisect its very form
Mend the pieces all by one's self
Abundant, multivalent
Cyclic octatomic molecule
Carry me away, further away
Upon the wings, the wings of sulphur
Acidic harmful vapor,
crawl onto the infected skin
Ethereal venomous cloud,
embed yourself in dying feathers
In benign tissue…
Inject! Corrupt!
In the open wind…
Engulf! Infect!
Destroy! Rebuild!
Repeat!
Abundant, multivalent
Cyclic octatomic molecule
Carry me away, further away
Upon the wings, the wings of sulphur
Abundant, multivalent
Cyclic octatomic molecule
Carry me away, away from the light
Show me the ways, the ways of sulphur

I Am Coin, I Am Two

(To assume our final form
is to begin to begin
to understand our existence)
Born into the skin of the first and the last
Slither through, formed into one
Wearing the skin of the first and the last
Slither beneath, split me in half
Appearing in the skin of the first and the last
Slither within, into my halves
Disappearing in the skin of the first and the last
Slither below, reformed into one
I am coin, I am two!
We are coin, we are one!
We are halves
We are two
Both sides joined
and then I am two
The A and the O
The heads and the tails
I am coin,
forever I am joined
Forever I am two
Slither within, poison my flesh!
I am coin, I am two!
We are coin, we are one!
I have wings,
I am one
No longer joined
and here I am one
Touched by the O
The tail of the snake
We’re soil,
forever we’re joined
Forever we are one

With newly found vigor
With copper flowing within
Let the new process begin
to unveil this masterpiece
But! Behind the curtain
Treacherous steps
Impending cataclysm
Usher in this downfall
For a moment there, I lost focus
and fell down those spiraling stairs
And for a brief moment there,
I let it all slip
Further, further down
Deeper, deeper within
Even further down
Further, further away
In the absence of light,
destitute of any vision
From shivering soil,
a beacon of silver
Up from the ground,
a shining pedestal
Raising this shell
towards the surface
Again with newly found vigor
Clad all in silver robes
Let the process continue
to unveil this masterpiece
For a moment there, I lost focus
and fell down those spiraling stairs
And for a brief moment there,
I let it all slip

The Terminal Filter
05:21
|
|||
|
Out of the clutter
From disorder back into order
Your steady pulse
Harmonious stasis
From the static of a thousand essences,
the sterile non-existence
Into a sea of one single coherence
Unto a monolith of quietude
Proscriptor, leave the floodgates open
Crush me with your lustrous, gleaming lava
Break down this husk, wave after wave
Wave after wave
Surge after surge
On a voyage towards the terminal filter,
a corroded, oxidized grid
This sanguinely final draining passage,
a pathway to inner armistice
Proscriptor, let your current guide me
on your pulse, wave after wave
Proscriptor, do not close the floodgates
Let your current guide me through the conduit
Recreate this shell, surge after surge

about
In the frozen depths of Finland's iciest lakes, …and Oceans emerged, fusing symphonic black metal with avant-garde twists and splashes of industrial chaos. For decades, they've been the torchbearers of a genre that defies boundaries—constantly reinventing their sound with each new album.
Their latest full-length, "The Regeneration Itinerary," is a transcendent expedition into the duality of light and dark. Recorded in the halls of SoundSpiral Audio and mixed to perfection at Necromorbus Studio, this album weaves a tale as old as time yet refreshingly modern. With tracks like the ethereal, techno-laden "Inertiae" and the haunting "Förnyelse i Tre Akter," Mathias Lillmåns' lyrical prowess unfurls across Timo Kontio's and Antti Simonen's masterful compositions, each note dripping with existential ponderings and razor-sharp riffs. Imagine being embraced by a Siberian storm while contemplating the cosmos—that’s the electrifying impact these songs deliver. A standout, "Prophetical Mercury Implement," offers a fervent glimpse into their musicianship, promising an aural journey that’s as profound as it is raw. From the melodic "I am Coin, I am Two" to the relentless drive of "The Fire in Which We Burn," this itinerary navigates the delicate balance where shadows kiss the dawn.

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic. This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10
