Fracture!
Twilight of the pre-world era
The great mass expands
Aqua holds every land
Eruption
Aura matures
Pupates
Virgin regime
Rooted
Glaciers erection fulfilled the horizon
The marriage of rock and ice
Dropping turquoise tongues
On endless desert snow
Omnipresent frost
Wind blowing dance
Emptiness
Monumental landscape revealed
The beauty and the beast
Freezing hell on earth
An Image of nature's strength
Lords of the World
Lords of life
Lords of death
Lords of chaos
A captivating combination of genres – essentially proggy death metal. A seamless 60 minutes full of musical ideas. A little noodly at times, but I enjoy the clean guitar work. Lyrically, it sits somewhere between nihilism and humanism – anti-religion, but more broadly institutional than the typical metal fare. There's a relish to the violence against women imagery in "Slave" which I don't enjoy, but on the whole this album stands up to scrutiny from most directions. Certainly not run of the mill Luke
Dessiderium manages to truly say something from within, giving a voice to the truly indescribable world of deep depression, loss, and grappling with an unwillingness to continue on. This one-man visionary seems to have mastered the art of putting sounds to the exact feelings he and others have experienced, creating a unique yet highly relatable soundscape of both dread and sorrow. americaneurosbmlover66613
