Awaken Thee
03:30

You experienced
Separation
Longing
For the unknown
Letting go of
Echoes from the past
True nature
Begins to shine
Ritualistic permission slips
Gradual change
New state of being
Awaken thee, who art immortal!
I am with you
But you are not with Me
I am within you
But you are without Me
I am around you
Can you even perceive Me?
An experiment gone wrong
Trapped in darkness
Lost in a maze
Cringing souls, It is time to awake

“The desire to serve must be distorted towards a great deal of purity of mind and what you may call foolhardiness or bravery (..). The challenge or danger of the Wanderer is that it will forget its mission, become karmically involved, and thus be swept into the maelstrom from which it had incarnated to aid the destruction.” The Law of One
Cast into hell
Engulfed in darkness
Like a wolf among the sheep
Bearer of the sword
To bring forth the truth
Unmystified and absolute
To raise the ones who have fallen
And now weep...
Shine in greatness
For I am with you
Where you fall, I’ll withstand
When you surrender, we’ll become
Powers of spirit that rules supreme
Pours onto you abundantly
As few humans dare to walk
Where angels fear to tread
In the horizon, a storm is brewing
Systems of control, now collapsing
Time and tide waits for no man
Onwards we march
The great awakening has begun
For you and I are one
Remember, it has begun
There is no darkness deep enough
That dims your inner light
Mystic knowledge now unveiled
Break free from this ancient spell
As humanity now prevails
Where angels fear to tread

Ashes
04:41
|

|
Strangers that pass me by
Invisible hue of darkened light
Procession less divine
Oblivious state of inner fight
Stench of death embraces the room
Fatherly figures preaching doom
Holding an idol nailed to a cross
Giving up hope, forever lost
Engulfed in darkness, laying low
Unreached potential, limited growth
Nameless bodies, a pile of ashes
Hovering in hell wherever the wind blows
Estranged from the world anew
Impending breakthrough
Suspended animation
Awakening overdue
Stench of death embraces the room
Fatherly figures preaching doom
Holding an idol nailed to a cross
Giving up hope, forever lost
Engulfed in darkness, laying low
Unreached potential, limited growth
Nameless bodies, a pile of ashes
Hovering in hell wherever the wind blows
Ashes...
Reduced to ashes into nothingness
Hovering in hell, wherever the wind blows

To Die a Thousand Deaths
05:21
|
|||
|
When the knife twists
The blood runs
Vision dims
I AM there
When the rope hangs
A frail body
Conscience blurs
The very last breath
I AM there
I AM there
Throughout the pain
Sorrow that remains
Emptiness unexplained
Whirlwind of emotions
Battered, semi-conscious
Unbound separation
As a mystery of Creation
Experience
Separation and grief
Lack and regret
Laughter and illusions
And die a thousand deaths
Ahh
The solitude of the end
The coldness of a feeble hand
The very last breath
I AM there
See reality for what it is
Mental construct for your beliefs
Within a cycle that never ends
To die a thousand deaths
|

The winds of change are blowing...
Deep entrapped into a restless mind
There survives the undead mankind
Far away in a state of stillness
True existence waits in silence
Human psyche tilted pendulum
Paradigm hardening, assured attrition
Entrapment in conflict and division
Pawns in a chess game of doom
Divided into countless labels
Blindfolded fallen angels
Lumen beings yet to realize
Untameable we stand and will rise
Victims and violators
No more than roles to play
In a stage of physical existence
Behind the curtains true self awaits
Conqueror and the conquered
No more than a faint state
Understand - you have fallen
But you will rise again
In between thoughts
Lies the one who sees
Awareness without form
The divine link within
Pierce the unconscious
Enter the fourth state
Far beyond your dreams
The fair throne of the brave
To see beyond the veil…
To survive this ancient tale…
To ride my inner demons...
My spirit yearns for freedom

Synchronicity
03:42
|
|||
|
Believing is seeing
Creation manifesting
The dream is reality
And reality, just a dream…
Own your true path
Steer your destiny
Effortless creation
Abundant prosperity
Parallel experiences
Shifting continuously
Personal construct
Projections from within
Oneness
In multiplicity
Inward focus
Synchronicity
Unique desire
Passion unlocked
Effortless creation
Abundant prosperity
For joy is the only guide
Leading you on this wild ride
Into paths seemingly unknown
As above so below

Apokathilosis Zürich, Switzerland
Transcendence is the realization that, beyond the physical existence, you are the Self who sits at the supreme throne of Consciousness. Black Metal is the perfect weapon to convey the message.

Well-established Finnish post-folk metal with a talented lady musician behind the concept, with devilish goth look, the voice of an angel and the growls of a demon. Really love the contrasting duality ever present here, it's so different than a "typical" folk band. This is still very special, and the atmosphere created by Vermilia is not the classic Finnish extreme metal, but still a captivating and immersive sound. This is an incredibly impressive album !!

I liked the prior release a whole lot but "Tome II" is miles beyond that record in all respects: songwriting, technical playing and, most importantly, the production which adds another layer of power to these songs. Honestly just check the song "Both of Me" which is one of those album openers that demonstrates not only how far Grave Circles have come as a band but also sets the stage for the passionate self-destruction that follows. Holy hell is this good.

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

Excellent old school black metal. Haven't heard anything quite like it in awhile. Only a two song EP, but well worth a few bucks.
