Poesy Rider Chaque instrument joué sur les albums de Hannes est joué avec une maîtrise ahurissante ; et le pire c'est que les compos sont à tomber. Bref, d'album en album, ce projet solo est une totale réussite ! Favorite track: The Symbolic Nature Of Terms.

ImDurrtyDaNN This metal is absolutely amazing and I love every minute of how it sounds Favorite track: The Great Designer.

Lloyd James Hannes does it again! Another excellent addition to a formidably consistent and memorable tech-prog death discography. The album has remarkable pacing across a variety of different styles and approaches to the death metal base that is unmistakably Hannes. Favorite track: The Sun Eaters.

Purity, the cleansing Resurrection of the dead Is purely construction Revelation A compromising revenant Ambiguity got out of hand Construe the covenant The inner convent "Father! Why have you forsaken me?" Desires let him live But he must give his life to set us free Non-divine be this body of mine Dissolving the Great Designer At the end of time We're alone after all A mind reborn on evenfall Morals obstructed from reality Broken doctrines you conceived Obtain relief The inner grief Non-divine be this body of mine Dissolving the Great Designer At the end of time We're alone after all A mind reborn on evenfall Culture - to confront reality The pain - its cause obtains mortality Ever clinging to disbelive The great other erased, silently No man is a riddle in itself Take my word - make it hurt Embrace the emptiness Condemn your concern Set your mind ablaze Unfollow ideology and take the way out of the maze There is no God in Christ Solo: Christian Muenzner Non-divine be this body of mine Dissolving the Great Designer At the end of time We're alone after all A mind reborn on evenfall

I elevate to decompress The patriotic idiocy takes place on our terms Appropriate, then cultivate to level their success Identitarian infamy - feed it to the worms! Out of the dark drones silent remark while collective guilt displaces individuality I animate to re-adress The blame game's substancy is a diplomatic mess Your dogma's ill-concieved Nothing changes I believe Unless supply and demand bite the hand of saxon protestants Out of the dark drones silent remark Collective laws enable individuality Policies are incomplete when deprived of their ground Terms give way to emptiness, a hollow voice unsound One shall not yield to force, but contemplate control Put things forward right on track Collective affection - sending the signal back to the source Solo: Christian Muenzner Hirarchy is systematic ideology Out of the dark drones silent remark where collective thought enables individuality

Close your eyes and see The land of ice beneath cold lakes Beyond the sea To where the light retreats Driven by its call elite The glacier flows inside our sleep Inner awakening of the earth To which our deeds give birth Cut the silent strain - we must remain By the grace of winter Our end's suspense - great change commence Too weak to survive in the glacier's eye The blade above us Swings in rings towards us A knife sharpened By the force of darkness Come forth you leaders! The carbon consealers wreak momentum in shadows of dispair Solo: Danny Tunker Cut the silent strain - we must remain By the grace of winter Our end's suspense - great change commence Too weak to survive in the eyes of winter Too weak to survive in the glacier's eye

Dhaulagiri 07:35
Illuminated by sunset In bright blue light A valley deep among mountains steep A throne of ice in clear sight Face of death - nature's fortress Iced by the edge of time A wall of rock stands in my way On the way to sure death North face? West face? Blind faith is all you've got? Curage dictates the plot There's million ways to fall Facing death at the frost caress Called too many, too soon A throne of stone became their curse A place on earth remote as the moon Higher! Take a step Into thin air divine Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth Take a leap into your mind's deepest dreams To reach your inner self's esteem Your life is lost Until your self begins All thoughts coalesce Her glazing bliss raining down To fear, to love, to grieve and exist The closure falls A realm of snow and ice persits here on Dhaulagiri Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder - blazing down on me Solo: Christian Muenzner Face of death - nature's fortress Ice throne - force divine A wall of rock stood in my way On the way to success Take a step Into thin air divine Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth Take a leap into your mind's deepest dreams To reach your inner self's esteem Your life is lost Until your self begins All thoughts coalesce Her glazing bliss raining down To fear, to love, to grieve and exist The closure falls A realm of snow and ice persits here on Dhaulagiri Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder - blazing down on me

I have the urge for conversation Thoughts begin to putrify Behind the mirror I shall speak For my words become divine Laws of the constant Ripple the truth inside Before I take an eye for an eye The unseen remains sublime From beyond the path of logos Inherent genocide A beast to alter focus Long before a woken mind To change constant sorrow One believes in self-defiance Be caged by natural order Deconstruction of the mind At nothing I reside Hearts of horror Digest what we decide To bear the ending of it all Beneath the waves Beyond the soul There is something you don't know The all remaining final wokeness Solo: V.Santura Beneath the waves Beyond your dreams There is something you don't see The clutch's inside our progress now Solo: Danny Tunker The vast nothing Portal into emptiness Everlasting fire Everlasting death Into the great nothing Into the great divide Embrace darkness Embrace death

The Fountain 07:24
Light emerged before fire Once the desert was cold as ice Thunder growling Echoes fracture through the cold divide We evolve by pleaseant motions A seed emerged from ancient oceans As I drank from the fountain Of eternal life The yield within our soul From eyes obsidian to weapons euclidean There is no return Wretched insomnia - To Daimonion In the search for a living God I sacrifice your precious blood Pass the place of no return There is no way out Breathing death is what we shall yearn for Two minds, one heart and soul Solo: Morean Fake Solo: Hannes Grossmann

Memento 04:50
Confess to history Confiscated amendment The havoc liberty unites in regress To frame simplicity Unrelenting mind-cremation Let the present speak recalled by the past Free tibet, free tibet To feed on dreams uneven remember to heeding the call of hearts divine Neglecting victory Unmaking colonization Inverse dynasty - levelled to the source The elder compromises Appear like stale reprises Our future emphasises weakness of the past Free tibet, free tibet To feed on dreams uneven remember to heeding the call of hearts divine Revoking sparks will sire, come across to reunite Unbolt, connect, rewire By affection modalized Deliverance gives meaning to indifference Solo: Danny Tunker Invoking woes by fire Injustice idolized Brings pain to those who follow the leaders' false advise Revoking sparks will sire, come across to reunite Unbolt, connect, rewire By affection modalized
