In dreams one night, I took the plunge
Down numerous steps, countless stairs
I dove deep, slicing through the air
Soaring quickly through the sky
Carried by my great wings I saw
The world down there
And all its grooves and the way it moves
And all the land and everything
And I saw the water flow
Down the stream
As it trickles in the sunlight and shines
Gleams, and projects rays
And I thought I had seen it all
But only a fool like me could be so thick
My brain could not be so penetrated
By the thought saying no
There is no Earth down below
Just look up, past the clouds
Another world
And it’s there I was sucked in
And nothing could get me out
Not even my thoughts could save me
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-
Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
