    Individually numbered Digipak CD SIGNED BY THE BAND with 8 page lyric booklet.

    Recorded and mixed mid-2012 at Earth Terminal Studios.

    In an effort to conceptually top “Earth” the only option was to produce an album about the life cycle of the Universe itself. At least it started out with that intention, i.e. lyrics exploring big bang to heat death, but it gets a little more philosophical along the way considering the path mankind might take in its evolution.

    Much of the philosophical side was inspired by the short story “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov. Our own take on the conclusion from that is embodied in the final track: Outside Time, which was the last song written for the sessions and completed only just before recording began.

about

It is the duty of a sentient being to supersede itself in evolutionary terms, which requires a fair degree of practical optimism. All intelligent life forms at some point face the stark reality of self-destruction versus the capacity to overcome the most grave of challenges.

lyrics

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Mortal flesh superseded

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
