Spyridon This album has a lot to recommend it: The world-class musicianship is one thing, but the atmosphere and songwriting prowess lift it above a swathe of other contemporary metal. Simply amazing! Favorite track: Disease of Feeling, Germed.

fripperiffic This album is a masterpiece, and the amount of blood sweat and tears poured into it makes it even more worth it. For those that don't know, this album has been in the works for several years, and nearly didn't see the light of day. So stoked it's here to impart its sonic glory on the world. 🤘🤘🤘

YomaBarr ❗❗
Haven't you seen my jaw anywhere by any chance? It rolled on the floor and I can't find it.

Tech/disso death debut of the decade, I kid you not, the guys' opus magnum and tour de force*. What an incredible (death metal) beauty. Dark jazz, too. And world murdering lyrics. Songwriting beyond the orbit of the known universe.
What's the word for something more perfect than perfection?

*I tried hard to love Canvas Solaris and failed. But this...!

Entropic acerbic root A collapsing rung Nifil infra, nihil ultra An inverted sun Succumb Succumb to the chasm Acknowledge Death of foundation Entropic soured fruit A virulent harvest Nihil infra, nihil ultra Atavistic progress A taste A taste for infection Architect in austere tribulation To leaden the end Is to deny the flame Fall or ascend The edge beckoning Fall of ascent Have you beheld The river's end "A symbol of light His two hands forming the sign of hermeticism The one pointing up to the white moon of the Quabbalic Chesed The other pointing down to the black one of Geburah This sign expresses the perfect harmony of mercy with justice His one arm is female The other male like the ones of the androgyn of Khunrath The attributes of which we had to combine with our goat Because he is one and the same symbol The flame of intelligence shining Between his horns" Fevered The mold on his teeth Inversion As a cure Turning muscle to fog Rows of gilded teeth Miles of unburned pyre Robe made of flesh Parasite or Demiurg

What happens to the self When first penetrated By the arrows Of consciousness How quickly can The proximate light Give way to distant Plains of nausea Aware Of the impossibility Of passage back Through the cobbled and sealed Walls of innocence Murky pools of ontology Beckon the self Into darker Darker immersions Grottos of night Delirious scents Transmitted by flesh That leeches the sweat of perdition And then equivocation Falls to its knees As the fevers As the fevers take hold The self, then sees For the first time It's inevitable path Beset on all sides By fear, uncertainty, and regret Chased by the phantoms of the past Cancerous tendrils Ravaging the body Which pines for the womb Of unfeeling And silence Silence

Abiogenesis Primordial black lungs Fevered, atrophied Lesioned by time Recede Salt The earth Sated arteries Of rotted soil Scald The earth A hymn to the serpents They'll spawn rebirth There is a void A searing whole Begetting absence Gilded and cold There came a void A searing light Reborn progenitor Begat abscission Salt the earth Scald the earth The cure to man The adoration of naught Purification By flames Of the Hegemon

A refracted trial Administered in a sequence Of patient cruelty This ritual requires Neither water Nor dust My curse took root At first sight Blood, thick Tongue, drunk With self knowing deception My seed took root At first light I drank only of faith And was poisoned Here on these plains Of vice and regret I bear myself Naked and weeping Accompanied by silence Shuddering in the light Of the black sun Black sun

Attended only by time (And mockery devine) And the toil of the boulder (The burden of swine) Turning nights into words (And invert the sign) Phases of the moon beget only.... Infinite Regress Where Who When The breath Stolen Purpose Purloined and poisoned The breath stolen By the sublime Vision Ascending Descending Up the many hills We search For deeper Truth But a hawk Is only A hawk Still I continue Up the hill The beads that gather on my thinking brow Waters of my rebellion Urging me through this desert Of desire I hurl mockery at Deimos Where is your might in this vacuum Et rebel quia absurdum est Attended only by time (And mockery devine) And the toil of the boulder (The burden of swine) Turning nights into words (And invert the sign) Phases of the moon beget only.... Death
