Via Cosmicam ad Europam ab Gelid Inferis

Jeff Richardson There is a certain genius within this evolution of sound; though like their Icelandic counterparts, disconsonant and disincarnate.
Remembering back in high school listening to Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and the like; now 40 years later wondering what the hell happened to me. One thing for sure, I'd never go back.
Oh, and take a closer look at the inner primordial soup photo. Favorite track: V - Medital Tranfuriae.

thephil Fascinating stuff. Completely unable to describe it or what I find so good about it, I just do. Closest I can get is to think of it in terms of Cosmic Black Metal such as Mare Cognitum, Mesarthim or Darchon, but it's beyond even those. It's cold, bleak and sterile, yet at the same time hopeful. Favorite track: III - Arquiatunia Hannioza.

George Henry This is simply amazing music, not dependent on virtuosic melodic playing but on an overall effect achieved via thoughtful, excellent composition and meticulous performance. The mental / emotional journey created by each song and the album as a whole is near-overwhelming and keeps the listener's consciousness on the sharp razor's edge between blissed-out awe and stark terror - or something like that. Favorite track: I - Illumintarvi Morbius.

Sinto o vazio Velho conforto foi-se Tudo agora é questionado Nada nos prende ao passado Ruídos intensos penetram os ouvidos Que escuridão vasta e gloriosa a viagem na dimensão temporal e física até a Europa Dúvidas em estar consciente fixação em pensamentos mórbidos e paranóia Convulsões ferozes e monotonia O espírito enche-se com belas melodias que transbordam amor, raiva e ódio A imaginação fluí como nas profundezas do oceano e o frio penetra o corpo já habituado

Gelo…Gelo Num território sepulcral sinergias são aumentadas A profunda meditação subsiste na mente de criaturas implacáveis Neste estado vagueamos pelos sonhos pelo passado e pelo futuro num ciclo eterno Através da mente o corpo cura-se transforma-se e sofre mutações impensáveis para um ser humano Em sintonia as mentes novas e velhas sobrevivem em união

Escavando o tempo desvendamos os medos os segredos da espécie Descobrimos a essência que se esconde na matéria física Com nobres garras espinhos e escamas esculpimos por fim o passado e a liberdade cresce Águas congeladas cedei a vossa cura como uma proteção para que possa ver o céu em breve

A libertação do corpo é o mais evidente antídoto para aceitar o ciclo da vida do universo O gelo chega ao seu fim Sem todos os elementos necessários a função e a projeção acabam levando ao limite a subsistência do corpo Novamente as almas transferem-se assim continua a aventura e a descoberta do inexplicável A ordem complexa do universo deixa novamente a sua marca As almas agora habitam num só corpo onde reside a chave para a consciência humana A morte é ilusão pedimos a escapatória ao abismo de nunca poder pensar e sentir de novo de não poder erguer a nossa sintonia a nossa ligação tão intrínseca Acordar num glorioso e perfeito corpo possuindo o conhecimento dos vários universos da essência e do espírito na plenitude

about

Our planet Earth purged itself from it's cancer, the humankind.
Most of the souls are trapped in the misery of their own creation, the post-apocalyptic world. But there are some who transcend this hell. Creatures of all kingdoms, be it the Ocean, the Land or the Sky, leave their bodies and their habitats, and transfer their conscience to outer space. There are also some human beings who join them in this journey.

Among them are those who weren't scared of the depths in the caves of their mind, and instead learned to listen to the sharks swimming there, acknowledging their self unconscious deeds and doing their best to change themselves for the better, for they were aware of the essential universal law of never ending change, achieved through an ungraspable utopian balance, that in itself acts as the fundamental energy of this change.

And so, their souls, conscience, spirit leave together towards Jupiter, and in one of it's moons, Europa, they pierce the icy atmospheric like surface, diving deep in cold waters, incarnating alien creatures with no self awareness to speak of, with pure bodies and minds, free of egos. Meditation is what binds them with the gelid waters, and so they achieve a state of complete control over their surrounding environment, shaping the silicate mountains for places to dwell in their meditative practices.

Curious of what lies beyond the sky above them, they to start to work and shape it, in an attempt to reach whatever might be out there.
Reaching the other side, they become aware of death of the body, and so, one by one, committing a mass suicide, they finally become a unique divine form of energy.

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

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
