lyrics

Astral Path - A Virulent Delusion
(Lyrics: J. Bourdeau)

A dream is cut short, stifled...
The path to truth shrouded
The dominion of indoctrination
Spewing forth callous lies

Lo and behold!
A skeptic resurgence
Reclaiming logic once lost to the yoke of pious doctrine

Every day, burning to push against the weight of
collective cognition; a moral imperative
A sudden lapse in perspective, a clash in the mind
Is all it takes to stoke the glowing fires of reason!

The Stars were not 'made' for the lowly man
But man can conquer the stars through knowledge and will.

“Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands.
Like an unctuous merchant, they offer solidarity and uplift;
competing as they do in a marketplace.
But we have a right to remember
how barbaric they behaved when they were strong
and were making an offer that people could not refuse.” - C. Hitchens

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

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-
