Timeless sagas of the sun, scripted to serve modernman,
an insatiable greed for terrestrial manipulation..
Where the records of a lost age
are scorned through profane initiation..
Ritual enlightenment overshadowing numerical gain,
Light from the 12th planet prophecies,
oaths sworn to the star gods,
lucid illustrations within the caverns of the earth..
Archaic tablets illuminated on the mountain in the east..
Stellar literature, void of agenda,
the faith as is written in the stars,
Profound supremacy through celestial origin...
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
