philipk_50 The album has a lot of diversity and creativity, with songs that range from fast and aggressive to slow and atmospheric. The music is heavy and melodic, with powerful guitar riffs, bass and drums. The vocals are also really good.
I hope this isn't going to be their only release, and they will create new songs in the future. Favorite track: The Black Snake.

CLIMBING THE CAVE Envision infants living in an underground dark cave Their necks and legs chained they can't move, can only see before them Passing shadows is their life - A reflected artefact - "What a strange image and strange prisoners!" - "Just like ourselves..." Vague remembrance from the past Welling up of what's within Anamnesis from the journey upwards to the fundamental Cosmo Forms Envision, once more, humankind before an impervious, dark screen The truth would be literally nothing but shadows of those images We are bound to break free from these bonds and achieve liberty Vague remembrance from the past Welling up of what's within Anamnesis from the journey upwards to the fundamental Cosmo Forms We are bound to break free "It's my choice to be released and disabused of the error!" We are bound to break free "It's my choice to be released and disabused of the error!" We are bound to break free "It's my choice to be released from the error!" Climbing the Cave "We are bound to break free and it's our choice to be released and disabused of the error..." (Based on extracts from Plato's "Republic", Book VII)

CYCLONE SPEAKING Wide open is the mystic window of my hideout-circle The shape of a morning shadow asking - The riddle is laughing Truth is Fake Dissipate with rage what is before me Dreadful paintings of my blackened mind All that was settled, now is unsettled Great Chaos has arrived... The Watcher of Chaos The centre of my cyclone speaking The crystal clarity of life is screaming Watching the Watcher Walking the path to consciousness Through the illusion of my circumference Running with tears pursued by fears, I'm torn apart and frightened The Great Abyss is broken - Maddened the riddle is laughing The Riddle is Laughing Tear your clothes and throw yourself into the stream Don't ask why, there is no guarantee Just tear your clothes and throw yourself To Liberate - To Celebrate As the madness encircles me while I'm seeking for bliss I've been in hands of the winds before, I'm part of that stream The Watcher of Chaos The centre of my cyclone speaking The crystal clarity of life is screaming Watching the Watcher Walking the path to consciousness Through the illusion of my circumference The Watcher of Chaos Walking through Chaos I won't let you separate and kill me

Lava Flows 06:53
LAVA FLOWS Revitalizing blood rips my volcanic skin Invigorating blood erupts over the culture of pseudo-thinking An incandescent river of lava flows Within its body I've drifted, a long time ago Burning... An incandescent river of lava flows Man of bright prospects, it's all around you Burning textures of my breathing hopes Incinerate the structures of my thoughts Viscous river from a bleeding heart My volcanic form erupts and Lava Flows Lava flows through my massive heart I belong to a consciousness of trust River from a bleeding land My volcanic form erupts and Lava Flows Yearn the great unknown - I'm part of it I belong to a raging stream of blood Art of the believing heart I'm mad, you're mad! Flow in the river's madness... I'm mad, you're mad! Burning Textures - Burning Structures Burning textures of my breathing hopes Incinerate the structures of my thoughts Viscous river from a bleeding heart My volcanic form erupts and Lava Flows Lava flows through my massive heart I belong to a consciousness of trust Art of the believing heart My volcanic form erupts and Lava Flows Lava Flows through my massive Heart

Death Drive 05:00
DEATH DRIVE Varieties of neuro-psycho anxieties Societies revolve around my head Singing threnodies of a suicidal, semi-spiral, multi-thinking Ego "Life strives to dispel the slavery structures by awakening instincts that will lead to my Egotropic Death" Just let the life be free from delusions and feel the stream of internal transcendence Breaking down barriers coined by the effigies of morality Free from delusions and feel the limits of ego dissolving Timeless and formless act of emptiness Egotropic Death "Varieties of anxieties revolve around my head, singing threnodies from a suicidal, semi-spiral, multi-thinking ego..." Death Drive Free from delusions and feel the stream of internal transcendence Breaking down barriers coined by the effigies of morality Free from delusions and feel the limits of ego dissolving Timeless and formless act of emptiness - Egotropic Death Egotropic Death

THE BLACK SNAKE Death and birth united in the circle of life Round and round I'm going crazy one more time Black and white complete, inner power unleashed Me and you returning from an endless round God and man collide and the centre is light Round and round I'm going crazy one more time Dark and light complete, crawler of inner bliss Rises through the mystic path of self-freed ground Ouroboros "It had no need of eyes, for there was nothing outside it to be seen; nor of ears, for there was nothing outside to be heard"* I Returned to Wholeness Fiery Serpent of Light Rises up Inside Ouroboros The Change The Communion to the Circle Devouring my little self Looking inside The Change "It had no need of eyes, for there was nothing outside it to be seen; nor of ears, for there was nothing outside to be heard"* I Returned to Wholeness Fiery Serpent of Light Rises up Inside Ouroboros *Extract from Plato's "Timaeus" (33 - The Construction of the World)

Hubrism 05:07
HUBRISM In the prophecy by blood decrypted Pain foreseen to flow away Though a prodigy by myths encaged Fate engraved "He refuses to act subserviently to a scornful lord or to reveal the details of a prophecy about the downfall" "A God confronting God" Seize the day to get away Heal the pain and all the shame Feel the grace, embracing flame Freedom from the Tyranny of Exaltation Hubris is a Godlike Complex Hubris is a Godlike Complex -Breakaway- -Breakaway- "He refuses to act subserviently to a scornful lord or to reveal the details of a prophecy about the downfall" Foreseen the pain to flow away A God became completely insane Deliberate act melts the chains Freedom from the Tyranny of Exaltation -Breakaway- -Breakaway- Hubris is a Godlike Complex Hubris is a Godlike Complex Hubris is a Godlike Complex Hubris by a Fallen God (Influenced by Aeschylus "Prometheus Bound")

DECONSTRUCTING THE ARCHITECT Inside the crystal water drop, the delusion is a sense of self Searching for mister God, only mask icons and sculptures are left Demiurge... Still holding inflatable dolls while decoding ironical calls The core of the delusion is where the self dwells Monarch-Punisher, is anybody there? Hey, the Call I'm ready to explode Deconstructing the prejudice within Hey, the Fall Of ready-made thoughts Through the mirror of consequences Deconstructing the prejudice within Deconstructing the way that I feel Deconstructing the Architect in me Deconstructing the way of my... Deconstructing the prejudice within Deconstructing the way that I feel Deconstructing the Architect in me Deconstructing your way Deconstructing my way Deconstructing the prejudice within Deconstructing the way that I feel Deconstructing the Architect in me Deconstructing the way of my decease

UMBILICAL CORD Cryptic morning of demise, unexpectedly compels my eyes, open only to realise The enslavement of my body, a wired dark reality of ideality - Damn it! A vision that my life goes through a Dead Black Cord I never really thought, the Black Cord! Dilemma, Seeker of Truth Time has come to disconnect the timeworn Artificial Umbilical Cord May I unplug the Lord? Dilemma, Seeker of Truth The hour of choice has come Arcane morning of demise, unexpectedly compels my eyes, open only to realise The enslavement of my spirit, a virtual reality of personality - Cut it! Dilemma, Seeker of Truth Time has come to disconnect the timeworn Artificial Umbilical Cord Superficial cables...my only Lord The Dilemma, is it true? Time has come to disconnect the timeworn Artificial Umbilical Cord Superficial cables...my only Lord
