Tim It's funny, I stumbled across this band while browsing Adam Burke's paintings on his website, because he's done the art for a number of other bands I like. Decided to check them out and was immediately hooked. This album is sick. I don't need any "algorithm" to discover cool music to my tastes. I can just look at Adam Burke's gallery and find new bands from the album art commissions.

Oh and I guess if you like some really cool progressive black/death metal, this is it. Favorite track: Aria.

Lorenzo Dazzling blackened progressive death metal that harkens back to earlier Opeth and bands of that ilk. There is a palpable and appreciable emotion and personality to this album that sets it away from the more sterile and lifeless bands in and around this genre. The technical aspects to the death metal matched with the symphonic elements that seep in the black metal add even more texture to the tones and feel of each expansive song Favorite track: The Persecution Complex.

What you do before you sleep is who you really are Routine is killing me Pathways shut off Fate is set Wake up Today lies years away Be still Feel the calm of the white morning air An unknowing optimist Sweeping through the fog Nudged forth through the door Enter the dome of white lights and follow through My eyes could see My passion looking down on me Stuttered speech Mythos encrypted Let it be known No man is free of the pride that binds him to his feet Abuse that which is given And fall to discipline’s demise Set back after glory In time hands move back after sitting stagnant Structure unsowed Monastery of mind collapses This path seems endless Rotting slowly, my will A slave to the voice inside Fall down lower than where I began It’s foolish Live for the mind to pretend In this field where you gave a final line In the midst of lies empathy was left behind Sorry for the transparency I’ve lost energy for language so flowery I would rather kiss your lips than flattery through faux poetry Please never tell Let it die with us Things unknown are worth living for How could you not see me burning? A corpse’s harp pulls strings Gives voice to yearning In night, I was bound by emission Under sunlight, I found remission Ghostly sirens and red hues Nocturnal I am Drawn to these shackles and visions Attached to this comfort that’s killing I await the sun to drown I await no one This peace I have forged This piece I have painted from scratch And so I wrote a poem to conceive Eyes closed She’s there waiting for me She’ll wear your face She’ll bare your name Emit your flame from the rim of her iris Play the tape of your final words Engrave them in her heart Keep them mine for a life to come I’m feeling hazy Bristles dance hastily Resurrection on canvas Welcome home Another white morning in a world she knows

Pale 10:59
There goes the heron that sits at the shore Awaiting to feed on a helpless bird Ten foreign trees towered up above me This scene before my eyes was one I’ve not seen Suddenly I felt a stare from behind In naivety and innocence I turned back my head Clothed in white, she stood there With one subtle look I was put on the path to my end Transparent woman in brush strokes so pale Moonlight came forth through creases of her hair that fell to her knees In angelic grace she now came toward me With each step she took my dead heart was struck I know this face. Her lips moved, yet her voice was mute Still I knew Aria was her name This world, her womb “I know your heartache I’ll mend your pain Absolve your sins Free your shame I’ve waited here forever for your love to come set me free I’ve grown as you’ve grown I’ve been with you in sleep since it all began” The water rose in liquid pillars up to the sky Beware, instinct told me life’s a place to leave alone But, you shocked me out of my being I came from the heartless place Now here’s your face I’m safe Red love swelling deep in my chest Shame lives in me Shame went to deep Shame haunts my sleep Shame will not let me breathe You found me where it rains Our pigment came undone If this is what you are You and I Meet eyes and we merge This sanguine songs masks desperation Another day gone, still nothing has come Wandering through the memories from our dreamscape I write to know that it’s real Page after page, all is blank Journal for love became loose notes of hate Fate is fake Beliefs are traced Believe me, please My thoughts loop back in a voice that’s yours And now I’m lost here with you Lost, fading youth Lost without truth Lost here with you Falling deep in a world no one else can reach Drifting off in sleep that will grant me peace Birth a thought and the thought comes forth and breathes I’m in love with a dream and it feels too real There lies the heron dead at the shore The ocean swallows The ocean dissolves Sky folds it’s self as my vision is blurred We say goodbye Colors fade to pale

Aria 13:41
I dove into the sea Submerged in life’s disharmony She’s waiting there, there for me How could I fall into perpetual bliss with you, Aria? Years escaped in your absence Now we dance on a shore of dead memories Aria’s heart is my home This is Aria’s woe Seductress of belief Hedonist’s felicity I lived in abhorrence But now I know Love lies here in Aria’s arms Trust me now I want your pain Lust succumbed I won’t give in Lost in you I never knew Loving you is all I’d ever... She’s trapped in vacuity No light, no dark The sun will never come The moon will never fall If I awake, she will die She will die Faceless, I found her silhouette traced in linings of ethereal light She found me, Burning in sticks by the sea I’d hoped she’d see She told me “I want to be absent in air. Set me free.” Contorted, the face of a goddess in melancholia “An answer lies with you, to be found in shade.” It all ends the same Open my eyes to a sky of grey How vulnerable I have been to relive this again It all repeats The burning sheets Humiliation from smiling screens Windows that taunt with transparency Undress my soul Inhale deep the dust that ends my sleep Move slow because the clock just woke Clouds fill the void as smoke gets blown The sun coughs up light into my room Cherry coffin soaking in my wounds Somehow your face glows bright inside this tomb You’re sick and thin Take off your clothes Lay down your head You and I know you and I need what we each can be It’s getting late When the night falls We meet our fate Whether it’s real Whether it’s fake It won’t change a thing Lie motionless Senses awake, dead or alive Alone I am, alone I feel Show me what I must be Gift me the lost key Aria, wait Aria, please Aria, dream with me It’s your scent I want It’s your taste I crave Through love we made this space

Paralyzed My eyes open with my limbs beside me Confined to this bed Next to me a figure stands, crying I am stuck in my mind On this morning I thought I had died I felt a stranger’s thoughts inside me I crave your everything Your perfect imperfections Touch you, taste you In our world of fake truth Whisper your name Your lips brushing my lobe Half here, half there I’ll live for this lie It’s clearer than life Hands gripped Tongues break the seal Trust is bargained, then given To be young is to surrender to fear Falling deeper and deeper in Worry not There’s still time to right my wrongs Reverse the past and project me forth Into a body that makes me whole Love awaits and will bloom from this crucible Sweating inside this cold room It’s empty, yet I am not alone Behind me, I saw a face from a dream Delirium wrapped her legs around me Echoes retrieve your voice Bouncing off the walls into my soul I love you There’s nothing wrong you could do Accusations suffocate those who follow She who vacuums the clouds from the mind’s sky Let them pass Feel them leave Now power is surging A freedom is born Passion eternal Pressure running deep in my head from the stranger inside of me Deep touch warps my feelings Warps my world Makes me sick I warship what I once disdained In each passing thought is a plague A paradox The act of waking up and working towards anything And so I sleep and wait for the blow And then I scream for help But there’s no one to find me The shadow has grown The shadow engulfs these six walls I cannot speak I do not have a voice Another night Another stranger In my bed In my head I poison myself to believe I’m inside of you Lights flicker off, flicker on The ditch grew and somewhere things went wrong

God in rapture God enraptured by love for you Frail, God fell to his knees Feeble, fragile “Are you alone?” Whispered voices Kept secrets Eyes stare so cold I’ll vanish I lay my body I close my eyes and plead to end my life Then I await Remain I pray that there is something How can we love if you are not here? How can we touch if you are not real? I lay by a river In peace Looked up She’s there I’ve had enough So, I awoke I rose Held hope But there was nothing Wait. For what? How long will it take to understand her role in my world There must be something Wait. For what? How long will this go on? Obsession fails to explain this void I’m lost There is nothing Imposter You lied Ignominious shaming for a smile I hear the tones of your voice melding, characteristically blind You’d have known that there would come this time Now I hate all that I am I weighed myself down with rocks in the riverbed I like the torture of kissing the surface Are you happy now I question the past and every scene of life That brought me to this cessation It all comes back to you Born sinner Pure hearts inborn to burn Heaven in flames saw the cremation of God They’ll never know the pain My heroine died the day that I saw her smile
