lyrics

I STAND BEFORE YOU NOW
A PRYING MASS OF ASSEMBLED MINDS
THE AGGREGATE NEURAL NETWORK
THAT PROBES WITH COLLECTIVE PURPOSE
A COLONY OF VORACIOUS EGOS
PRIMED TO RECEIVE MY WORDS

I HAVE MERGED THE DISCIPLINES
AND ARTICULATED THEIR EXPRESSIONS
FOR MY OWN ENDS

THE EARTH
WITHOUT ORGANS
THe PLANE
OF CONSISTENCIES
OF SWARMING INTENSITIES
AND SHIFTING CURRENTS
OF GEOLOGICAL FLOW

I THAT HAVE MADE THE EARTH SCREAM WITH THE PAIN MACHINE
HAVE WITNESSED THE TRAJECTORIES AS THEY MERGE
THE UNFORMED AND UNSTABLE MATTERS
AND MAD TRANSITIONARY PARTICLES
I HAVE UNCOVERED
THE CRUCIAL PHENOMENA
OF CEASELESS CONCRETION AND COMPRESSION
THE ORDERING OF INTENSITIES
THROUGH THE SHIFTING LAYERS OF STRATA

OCCLUSIONS
ACTS
OF CAPTURE
TERRITORIALISED
JUDGEMENTS OF GOD

GOD
god THE LOBSTER
THE DOUBLE PINCER
THE DOUBLE BIND
DOUBLE BIND
DOUBLE BIND
DOUBLE BIND

THE FIRST ARTICULATION
SELECTS FROM THE CHAOS
IMPOSING AN ORDER
ON UNSTABLE FLOWS
THE SECOND ASSEMBLES AND CODES
AS EXPRESSION IS GIVEN TO CONTENT
MACHINIC ASSEMBLAGES PROLIFERATE AND DIVERGE
SOLIDFYING OR DISSOLVING
AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS DEVELOP AND MERGE
AND FORM FOLDS INTO SUBSTANCE INTO FORM

MATTERS
SELECTED AND CODED
STRUCTURED
INTO MACHINIC ASSEMBLAGE
FLOWS
SHIFT UPWARD AND DOWNWARD
THROUGH LAYERS
INTERMEDIARY

THE FOLDING
MOLECULES
THROUGH FRAMEWORKS
TO ORGANS
THE VECTORS
ORGANIC
MINERAL
CONCEPTS

ENDLESSLY CONVOLUTING DISTINCTIONS PROLIFERATE ON ANY GIVEN STRATUM AS MILLEU ORDER THE CODES OF THE SUBSTRATA
AND ABSTRACT ANIMALS EMERGE
MOLECULAR POPULATIONS
DICTATE FORM AND
CONTENT

SUCH ARE THE STRATA
ENDLESS ARTICULATIONS
FORM AND EXPRESSION
MOLAR INDUCTION
TRANDSUCTION OF SIGNS
TRANSLATION OF CODES
FOSSILS OF MEANING
AND PETRIFIED VELOCITIES

THE STRATA
CONGEALED
THE STRATA

THE MASK IS UNDONE
DOUBLE FACING
DISARTICULATED
TOWARD THE DRUMGATE
AS I DISSOLVE
INTO THE MECHANOSPHERE
PANIC IS CREATION
PANIC IS CREATION

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

This album doesn't have guitar solos. It has guitar trips to outer space. Phenomenal! Mix the vocals louder! Shane Tølle

by Forbidden Place Records

7/10 | [rff] Funky listen. Received it for free, but it was a welcome surprise. The skeletal production makes it sound like it's recorded among broken-down cars in the boiling heat. Dunkler Meister
