lyrics
Here in the moonlit groves
Standing below celestial waves
Revealed by cosmic shores
Offing of the night, a grave
We are sojourners of this world
And we long to return home
Transcending through the tempest
Only shattered chains remain
Ensanguined fog billows forth
As bodily prisons fade
Haunting woodnotes echo through the night
Forest aura! Arise from shade
We are sojourners of this world
And we long to return home
Transcending through the tempest
Only shattered chains remain
Thus we shall wander eternally
Through the vastness and serenity
Through shade of nebula, through glow of moonbeam
Which creates the path to arcane dreams
Dragging us far beyond the forbidden
To the gates of the tempest, we are hidden
Where the corporeal ceases to be
An eternal journey begins in beauty and grandeur
A great machine looms afar
Spewing burnt, congealing tar
Black spires obscure the sun
Threatening to consume
Chains lying broken and withering
Beneath the dystopian waste
Soon the foliage will bury them

Wow this album has been in my collection for a while and Im just getting around to giving it a proper listen. This is really good, can’t believe that I passed over this for so long. Bret

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
