When the reflections seem crystallized in a frosty oppressive night,
the colossal passing of time becomes the darkest of the allies
A brume of rhythmical grace erases, and suddenly replaces the light,
like a storm of marvelous forms, dancing across flames in the skies
Then...
With what seems to be paper-wings, and their strange sound,
something is fluttering around
Let your perception walk in the roads of forgotten massive fogs
and you'll see how the unknown gives you a flowering passion for the search of your own sun
The shadows of trees, reminding a web of mysterious source, echo decrepit motions of wind and wait to take the throne
when this dream, and its crepuscular green, scream in agony and finally are gone
Again...
With what seems to be paper-wings, and their strange sound,
something is fluttering around, and sings:
"Hold the dark,
embrace the dark inside
Hold the dark, see how it covers all!"
Now that the Bird's words have evolve into stone tears, punched into my ears,
should I surrender to the abyss, and track the very essence of what I lack?
The path is mute of light, deeper than a mountain's mouth, it leads to uncharted vaults, where soon I'll reach my longed-for sight
Bird, guide me! Your wings on fire I see! My audience is ahead, I finally see my Sun!
Please!
Recite to me, great flame-soul and show me all that surrounds
this blind man's eyes, so I can rise above...all
"There's no truth, there's no light. Even my own mind immolates my eyes."
Hold the dark!
Embrace the dark inside!
Hold the dark!

Ah, why didn't I buy this earlier? Has been on my wishlist since it's release and Bad Elephant Music's sampler and ongoing sales campaign luckily triggered the buy.
Tags given are post-progressive and post-rock, but the music feels much lighter than I usually associate with those tags. Quite song-oriented, indeed. Great music, great vocals. Carsten Pieper
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
