Universe

Beginning in oblivion
Primeval atom point
Forces once unified
Spontaneously tear apart
Creating space and time
Inflation for a millionth of a second
Mass from energy
As it cools in a new expanse
Welcome first gravity
Then strong and weak nuclear
Electromagnetic might
By the first second fundamental particles take form
Nucleosynthesis
Recombination
Now there is enough substance
To be called a void
All the time in the Universe
For Building blocks to coalesce
Until the first spark ignites
Hydrogen compressed to fusion
The first sun is born
A light to shine in the darkness
And then everywhere at last the sky is on fire
Circles in circles, background dispersed, defining a ghost of
the past
Is this the first or the last or the middle of infinity
What was meant to be!
Cyclical regression
Exists, as observed
Chaos and imperfection is the seed of existence
Sown so that it will evolve
Universe of untold beauty
Elegant, complete and free

Grandiose
05:28
|

|
Supermassive centre - the lynch pin, focus point
Basis for growth to begin the task of spinning and -
congealing galaxies
Natural philosophy, language of god; - the Grand Book,
writes itself
Endeavour to discover or wander - endlessly in a dark
labyrinth
All Suns Born
From dust and gravity
Spheres in fluid
Buoyant in the black
A stellar nursery, gas and colours
Embrace the spiral arms of a billion brethren
Across aeons in silence
Structure of the Cosmos takes form
Assayer and examiner
Theorised fields toward a proof
Non-intuitive - Cold dark matter
Self accelerating engine
Clusters will cluster if left alone
From finite mass or break the fundamental law
Living theatre
Ancient and young
Finite age limits
How much light we see
Era of stars entrenched
In a swirling ether
All Suns Born
From dust and gravity
Spheres in fluid
Buoyant in the black
Symptom of the awe
That we all feel
Almost forever
Is the longest time to be

Voyager
05:26
|
|||
|
Nurtured by nature in a quiet corner
Left alone to reach potential
Quest for adventure is an ingrained trait
Gift or curse of sentience
Little explorer as an ambassador
Perhaps will be the only evidence left
Civilisation that has reached outward
Looking back on the pale blue …. dot
How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake’s equation inspired a message
A Voyager will carry those hopes
The farthest flung object of mankind from home
A mariner in an endless ocean
The grand tour is only just beginning
and may herald the greatest moment ….of all time
A collective outlook
This piece of metal, immortal, floating in heaven
Without understanding, existence is for naught
Observance is a purpose in itself
How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake’s equation inspired a message
A traveller carries those hopes
Termination shock, heliosphere
Outside the zone of the solar wind
The space probe Voyager
The spirit of man

The Bridge
04:01
|
|||
|
A fundamental shift in the understood laws
Enables the seemingly impossible
Think outside the curve to find the traverse
Shortcut solution to the main constraint
The hindrance of distance
The bridge is the way to cross the great divide
The once fabled “other side”
No violation
Not superluminal
Negative matter
Supports a wormhole in the ‘brane
Prospects of immediate end
The sweet touch of fate’s kiss if such things could exist
What chance? Of paradox
|

5. |
Extropy
03:29
|
|||
|
The spread of man across the stars
In the debt of true power harnessed
Ever present, ever pervasive
The eureka moment
Nature tamed for the common good
The only way is up
Dance a fine line with self destruction
Extropy
Future’s dream
Interdependence for survival
Benevolent map, the way forward
Altruist learning machine
Serve and be served: symbiosis
Implement the blue print of the prime directive
While the base human pursuit of art and philosophy
Can be perfected by the decree of immortality
Extropy
Inevitably
Final synthesis
Transferral of conscience
Solving the riddle
Mortal flesh superseded
|

Heat Death
10:09
|
|||
|
From dim remains
Of the last dying sun
An ancient remnant
Of all that has now gone
Distant age
When the stars ceased to shine
New dark era, dawns
There was no reverse
For the arrow of time
Densities disperse; unbroken line
Toward equilibrium
Light is wearing out
Absolute zero
When everything is nothing, the perspective will change
Decay to radiation, like dust on the wind…heat death
Yet, there is glory in oblivion
Approaching the end of time
When the last photon will die
Fading away
Only silence survives
No Omega point
A gradual end
Final dissipation to mute chaos …..heat death!
Twilight in the garden of the Universe
The human cult’s Empire long since bid farewell
All the shades of light, gone from here forever
The moment that is now should be as your last
Consciousness remains awake in the gap
A memory, dormant, in hyperspace
Maximum entropy
|

7. |
Outside Time
06:07
|
|||
|
I exist in the empty dimension
at the scale of the multi-god
Where The Last Question is answered
by an eternity to choose
Diminished or absolute
The secret of the nature of everything
Can only be learned …. outside time
The outer edge is finally surpassed
The entropy barrier
The substance of one fabric
Every point in every place
To decide to enact the sequence
Carefully prepare my fate
From the vantage of infinity
The end of all ends, an open gate
Blown away by the great creation
Every God has its day
Overlaid by the next inflation
Reborn outside time
Destroyed for love, for now….

Monsterworks London, UK
MONSTERWORKS : has unashamedly stolen from a ludicrous number of metal sub-genres to create a truly unique beast. Be it thrash, death, old-school, prog or black metal, there is something for everyone. Expect wailing guitars, wailing screams and a pounding rhythm section, delivered by a four-man war of sound. Surely they can’t be serious? ... more

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt.

Bluesy black years ahead Z&A? A l'occasion un groupe BM blanc à 5 lettres tourne au calme, pour des raisons liées à l’élevage de saumon (Ulver, Manes, Myrkur, Le Splendide, ...). Netra conserve une forte composante extrême, ce qui rend le contraste clair-obscur d'autant plus fascinant. It is not uncommon for white BM bands to turn to calmer stuff, for some reasons involving salmon. Netra still provides a fascinating chiaroscuro. For fans of: Manes, Shinning (Nor&Swe), The Skaden, White Ward.

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now.
