Voyage by my will into the indifference of void’s vast areas
Limits of existence, time swallowed by absurdity
Not stepping forward, rather floating towards the unknown silence
As drifting through the depths of an endless sea
Polar plains, snow submerging me
Cutting winds, frost which I don’t feel
Damned domains, tomb by mankind shunned
Twilight skies, blaze reborn in veil
Aerial self, key to peace of mind
Glacial realms, source of harmony
Crystal light, ice reflects my fate
Secret isles, core of mystery
Do not try to escape, all paths they lead to chaos,
Cursed be the ones who seek in life unending pleasures,
For death awaits them all
“Les neiges éternelles”
Flight from reality to appease my thirst for the absolute entity
Eternal hibernation, frozen well the origin of all
Falling from hatred, last link between solitude and remembrance
Accessible for few, I shall not resist the arctic wastes’ call
Buried for eternity
Far away from the pain of this world
Covered by everlasting snow
I shall sleep in peace forever
Forgotten are the scars, all wounds ever inflicted,
Wrapped in lost memories, my spirit has forgiven,
And sinks into oblivion
“Les neiges éternelles”
Buried for eternity
Far away from the pain of this world
Covered by everlasting snow
I shall sleep in peace forever
“Les neiges éternelles”

I can think of very few albums that invoke an authentic, visceral fear — and through sound alone. This album is objectively horrifying in altered states, resembling a sonic portrait of existential trepidation & worldly dread untouched by even the most depraved extremes of metal. Sugammadex

Interesting take on Bach and therefor alone worth it already. The execution is subliminal. The Dutch - Flemish Renaissance cover fits the atmosphere and when it does, you know you're onto something good. Marty
