Scientific basilisk
Serpent passage
descending into
unknown unknowns
Summoning of the stars
Exoplanet altar
Metamorphic absorption
Invasive telepathic
psychic fractals dance
Hallucinative artistry
Interdimensional transcendentalism
Sapiential awakening
Psychedelic isochronal torrent
Archetypical hyper intelligence
Hypnogogic incisor
Melts the persona
Ego, and I
Astral super weapon
Divinations inscribed on psyche
Quenches the scholars
Thirst for Universal
dominion of wisdom
Indelible awareness endowed
For fervent servitude
Submission to divine
Entropy
Enlightenment
Through death,
Amalgamated
With sudden re entry
Into mortality
Cosmic zealots disembark
Guttural utterances
unfurl absent mouth
Thuuk’nii Aldrascha
Null’anii Kordosch T’raa
In silent travel
Home bound
Witnesses of god
Arduously reconstruct
Fleeting memories of
Ineffable visions
Armed with
archaic connections
long ago unraveled
Machinations are set in motion

Lightbearers
05:21
|

|
In bubbling primordial waters,
potentialities of foundational life.
From photons
emergent consciousness
Evolving from an infant universe
Isolated growth into civilization
Barbarism morphs into sophistication…
With study and exploration,
command over ecosystems
Dominance is established
Complete manipulation
Ever expanding understanding of
the surrounding expanse of space
Matter tamed in mere thousands of years,
outgrowing surrounding solar systems.
With eyes fixated outward into
the deep sea of the unbound chaos.
Sailing on the razors edge, deep space inquisition.
Rapid ascension to the precipice
of cosmic hierarchy
Unchallenged lords of the cosmos,
hidden hands reach through dimensions.
Disciples of science
Deathless
Unseen specters
Shaping physics, energy masters
unlock beyond the borders of
a natural plane of existence
|

3. |
||||
|
Crawling into the recesses of
The collective consciousness
A conduit
Pathways for perception
Insidiously grow, ushered in from beyond.
Hand guided to insanity
Experimental scientific weaponry
Consuming a universe for nutrients
Perihelion of reality produces invasion
Psychosis induced in masses
“I can’t remember who I am, walls are breathing in terror before Him…”
Indiscriminate replacement
Reincarnated divergence
Colliding systems of psychics,
struggling to remain, fade away….

Intimations of...
05:49
|
|||
|
Extending benevolent arms toward celestial archipelagos
Sequestered but curious to wade further beyond their shores
Exponential growth of culture prospering in symbiosis
Flowering from ignorance, rash decisions are made
Fixated on evolution they over reach
“A forked beds you
a brooded choir sings
Dejected vomit birth
Nullanic poison sting”
A far superior force moves against its enemies
A Massacre bordering on genocide,
Complete ingestion…
A shift in perspective culminates in slaughter
Wiser into the new age
Shifting their role into passive study
|
||||
5. |
... A Boundless Torrent
04:18
|
|||
|
Incremental advancement
to larger test sizes
Genocidal siphoning of energy
Sweeping away life or sentience
Amoral harvester
Suspended scythe
Growing in power
Unsatiated
Emboldened by success
directing it towards planets
The finality of wiping
solar systems clean…
Local groups,
superclusters and all,
nothing…
|

6. |
Waves, Temporal
04:00
|
|||
|
With violent suddenness,
the awareness of altered perception,
unchanging and hurdling through time.
Purposely slowing down to explore this new reality, nearing motionless, feeling the Father’s grasp tighten, slowly choking.
An overzealous retreat leads to discovery of potential
assimilation of the combined understanding of an epoch
through targeted oscillation.
Shepard of time
Agent of the Sun
Rapid cycling
Momentum growing…
Nearing escape velocity, fields of netted geometry open
revealing reflections…

Cascading Darkness
07:52
|
|||
|
Astral abduction
Torn from the arms of Morpheus
Dimensional vagabond
Wrent from this mortal coil
Endless chasm buried in time
Fractals of psychotic knowledge
Geometry esoterica
Overwhelm the mortal mind
Spacetime perforated
Runic pinhole
Sands infinite in dilated flow
Boundless oceans of evolving symmetry
Celestial Jaws
Voidfather
The virus of I
eat now of the tree of death
The succulent fruit
Of ego suicide
Inversion of the sun
Antimatter
Unfurling, bubbling, from
The echos of the past.
Coiled serpent the predominant
Whipping winds
Cascading Darkness
Nebulous pandemonium
Psychic Abaddon
Cerebral sea of congealed sentience
Mind obelisks coagulated
Mirrored reflections
Insanity on insanity
Abbatoire on Lethean shores
Invading tendrils of choking primal wisdom, bleeding madness and spitting poison rain
Eldritch sorcery
Twin sons creates
Horned Shaman
Blind Prophet
Deus Ex Nihilo
Enslavement of the sky
Dark energy masters
Swirling hovering in the edges of the mind
Stalking shadow, dormant in the clouds.
Ripping black
Descending night
Arising from the fog
Dyadic magicians
Simultaneous invasion of then and now
Birthed from chaos
Oblivion incarnate
servants of the void
Nullanic worship
Worship

Death's Begotten
05:41
|
|||
|
Culmination of
Billions of years of
Experimentation
Ancestral sense of pride
At the precipice of evolution
Embracing death, ascension
Rejection of life, fulfillment
Eternity is finally past
Ad Infinitum
Following the stars
With conviction, they initiate the power sequence.
Suspending subjects in stasis
Lords of Entropy
Lightbearers
Cosmic priests of stellar alchemy
Distort sentence
Converting the soul in pieces to, energy abundant.
The secure structural dominance by quantifying death.
Enthroning leaders to amass armies across realities.
Ad Infinitum following the stars
Ad Infinitum Death’s Begotten

More bleak, enveloping atmospheric black metal from the masters at the Vendetta label, “aevum” is both harrowing & strangely beautiful.

Beautiful songs with awesome breaks and a punk attitude. Bet these guys listened to some Clash or Sex Pistols at some point. Agree with other comments about good mix of atmospherics with edginess. Overall makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside 👹
