Constructed of chains; imitations of itself
Floating in void; possessing no wealth
Eternity passes, it reveals its creed
And upon the world, it absolves the need
Who does it really want to be
And does it care
Is it trying to feel complete
Or unaware
Is it looking for a release
Or tribulation
Does it want to invoke the peace
And bring salvation
Density infinite
Breakdown of general relativity
Singularity
The planck epoch, origin
Quantum effects in control
Cosmic inflation
Exponential growth
Creation and destruction
In plasma, paradox
One minus one
A power of zero
Opposite values
Contradiction
B violation
Symmetry violation
Thermal equilibrium
Baryogenesis
Seventeen minutes of primordial
Nucleosynthesis encompasses all
Seven to one; the ratio stays
Abundance of energy, deuterium destroyed
Hundreds of thousands of years pass by
Electrons and nuclei form new atoms
The force of gravity takes it's hold
Swirling clouds of gas growing dense
Stars are formed
Space is warmed
The stage is set
For life to grow
Constructed of chains; imitations of itself
Floating in void; possessing no wealth
Eternity passes, it reveals its creed
And upon the world, it absolves the need

Initiation
No Sephirah on the Tree
Meditation
I cannot wait to be set free
Exalted to Zelator
The one and the ten; end of probation
Contemplate Earth through Trithemius lore
The veiled esoteric, mystical lesson
Fire, water, and air
Balance the opposing forces
Unification of mind, body, and soul
The golden sun will rise
Enter the Portal
The invisible, transitional grade
Assented by The Circle
The knowledge of Spirit conveyed
Adeptus
Exemptus
Ruby Rose
Cross of Gold
Astral traveling
Adopt celestial form
Enochian Magic

Implement thaumaturgic prowess

Illusion; Reflection
We journey through the desert
This sensory experience: Conceivably unsound
Do I wander a dreamland? Deceived by a perverse divinity?
My eyes behold the sun
Searing sand scorches skin
Taste of blood from cracked lips
The fragrance of hashish
On whispers of the wind
Questioning the validity
Are these dreams or reality?
The boundary lies in mystery
Is logical validity
Creation or reality?
Malicious divine mystery?
This sensory experience: Conceivably unsound
Do I wander a dreamland? Deceived by a perverse divinity?
Open your eyes
Realize
Sophia’s Taj
Is a mirage
If I think, then I am

Sphaerics

Perfect heavenly bodies in the sky
Imperfect circles, a preordained path
Forcing the mind to ascend
To the astral realm
Abstraction liberates one’s self
Actualizing imminent objective perception
To fathom the flawless
Is futile
Spherical matter
Intricate traceries in absence
Orb
Perfect orbit
Identified as erroneous
Elemental
Parts of the physical world
Cannot exist
In an immaculate form
Forcing the mind to rise to astral realms
Free your mind
From subjective thought
Absolve your disposition
To see the stars
Seekers of truth
Depend upon
Cloudless skies

Drawn into existence from the Arabian Sea
Thrust back by the warrior saint
Bequeathed upon the second class
The Sacred Grove of the Snakes
Sarpa Kavu
Garden of Snakes
The dwelling of sinners
Decimators of dynasties
Discerned as inhospitable
The presence of coiled beasts

We dwell under this cavern's roof
Believing in shadows
Dancing forms cast upon the wall
Are all we've known
Chained to this fleeting reality
Consumed by illusion
Paradoxical intent
Under this cavern's roof
Why is there a
Light, the origin of lore
Inside; expected to accept
The fountain of propaganda
Cave, the mouth of ignorance
Break free from the chains
Weak limbed; atrophy
Move through will alone
Into the esoteric realm
Leave behind the world of
Becoming and passing away
Enter into the domain where
Truth and reality shine resplendent
The cool sand underfoot
Jerusalem pine; a lurching beast
An endless sky laced with diamonds
Suspended in space; reflective satellite
Return to the cave
Of the unenlightened ones
The truth seen as lies
Overlooked as corruption
Forsake the believers of shadows
Under this cavern’s roof

Death Posture

Close my eyes, ego dies
Hold my breath, activate death
The instinct, it beckons, but to my will it's second
My mind is now frantic as my eyes search the blackness
Close my eyes, ego dies
Hold my breath, activate death
Gnosis to inhibit my conscious mind
Trance is induced to make my Self blind
Blood pounding through my head
Mustn't give in to the will to live
Death of all thought is the intent
Temporarily dissolve my self awareness
To pass the censor, implant a thought:
A sigil of a word that I don't comprehend
Close my eyes, ego dies
Hold my breath, activate death
To enter the temple,
The altar of mind
Get past the guardian,
Straight into the core
With glyph in hand, I
Make way to the shrine
Placing the symbol
In the base of my mind
Mustn't give in to the while to live

A vision of Earth
Smothered in darkness
Blocking the sun
From the eyes of the masses
Optics disabled
Instinctual fear
A need to escape
This tomb for the mind
Presented with the God’s view of reality…
And we believed it
Despair, horror, dread, terror
Illogical impulse independent of reason
A vision of Earth
Smothered in darkness
Blocking the sun
From the eyes of the masses
Optics disabled
Instinctual fear
A need to escape
This tomb for the mind

This has been burning a hole in my speakers for the last two weeks. Epic journeys of sound with immense ,tortured vocal performances . Every track is a masterpiece of violent theatre with pounding drums n bass, virtuoso guitar playing and that iceberg- Heavy organ crunching down or soaring high .To choose a favourite track is near impossible as each one is a masterpiece in its own rite, fully realised and developed to wring out the last drop of emotion !hope it gets a physical release some day.

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs.
