The primary manifestations
of quiescence
The principle of paralysis
Shadow and smoke
Oh, inertia!
Wide awake, immobilized
Static flesh, somnambulant
Pull me and I'll retract
Push me and I'll push back
Keep me in stagnation, guard my sleep
Open my eyes with my mind buried deep
Oh, inertia!
Keep me in your tight grip.
Injecting the mirrorlike waters
Feeling it flowing within
Floating on its waves
Observing how it unfolds
Now,
I am the medium
I am the stream
In times nigh to the absorption
Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide
Preparing to be forgotten,
as mercury drips from my side
Vehement liquid dreams
Atrophic silver screams
Drowning in argent colors
This vast bottomless ocean
Bleeding the mirrorlike waters
Seeing it flow from my side
Seeking the next wave
Observing the change within
Still,
I am the medium
I am the stream
In times nigh to the absorption,
Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide
Preparing to be forgotten,
as mercury drips from my side
Vehement liquid dreams
Atrophic silver screams
Drowning in argent colors
This vast bottomless ocean
…none more of this,
into this…
Ambiguous vivid dreams
Alleviated golden screams
Ascending in argent colors
From this vast bottomless ocean

about
In the frozen depths of Finland's iciest lakes, …and Oceans emerged, fusing symphonic black metal with avant-garde twists and splashes of industrial chaos. For decades, they've been the torchbearers of a genre that defies boundaries—constantly reinventing their sound with each new album.
Their latest full-length, "The Regeneration Itinerary," is a transcendent expedition into the duality of light and dark. Recorded in the halls of SoundSpiral Audio and mixed to perfection at Necromorbus Studio, this album weaves a tale as old as time yet refreshingly modern. With tracks like the ethereal, techno-laden "Inertiae" and the haunting "Förnyelse i Tre Akter," Mathias Lillmåns' lyrical prowess unfurls across Timo Kontio's and Antti Simonen's masterful compositions, each note dripping with existential ponderings and razor-sharp riffs. Imagine being embraced by a Siberian storm while contemplating the cosmos—that’s the electrifying impact these songs deliver. A standout, "Prophetical Mercury Implement," offers a fervent glimpse into their musicianship, promising an aural journey that’s as profound as it is raw. From the melodic "I am Coin, I am Two" to the relentless drive of "The Fire in Which We Burn," this itinerary navigates the delicate balance where shadows kiss the dawn.

The first album is already a very good one, but the second is even better! It contains again nature black metal, quite melodic, but also wild, with some folkloristic elements, full of atmosphere and performed with passion. For me, BLACKBRAID fits well into the same category as other epic one man bands like Saor, Ruadh or Pure Wrath. Besides the catchy and quite straight opener "The Spirit returns", I mention the mightiest track "Moss covered Bones on the Altar of the Moon" as my favourite song! H.L.

so many gems in this album but after i went through this in order for my review, i kept returning to this anguished call to humanity, an emblem of despair in vast nothingness. a shred of hope dashed, as this album as a whole speaks to the annihilation of the ideals of humanity and the pedestals they sit on - and what happens when we watch all that shatter. there are plenty of outer space themed albums, but VORGA brings us something worth listening to. mintymetal
