The Earth is flat. Fixed, immovable and firm.
Celestial spheres. We're central to everything.
What have we learned during our tenure under the firmament?

The Earth is flat. Fixed, immovable and firm.
Celestial spheres. We're central to everything.
We're entitled to it all.
Our minds are made up, don't bother with facts.

Signifier. Signified. Our inventions, held as truth.
Language has failed! Language has failed!
Arbitrary words. Arbitrary sounds. They mean nothing.

Certain Structures

The order in nature. Recursive formulas.
From here to the end of greatness, all singing of self-similarity.
Drifting in the stars, we've seen where we are.
The details change. The pattern remains.
The dreams are persuasive. I let them lie to me.
Eyes gliding across the surface of things.
Ritual observance of formulas well known.
Illusion of choice. They speak with one voice.
The details change. The pattern remains.
Certain structures unfold.
Certain structures have hold.

Invisible Surfaces

We fall into it again, returning to what we know well.
These eyes have seen through too much.
Invisible surfaces curve into the distance.
An image on the screen meets my gaze and says to me:
"It doesn't matter who you think you are, you'll believe anything."

Almost Awake

A shadow descends. The water will cleanse.
I watch myself hold you under.
We fall into it again, returning to what we know well.
Struggling to breathe, the porcelain screams.
Your eyes lose focus, knowing its hopeless.
What did you see looking through me?
No! Please, no!

Planeswalker

Receive the key. Open the doors of perception. Lift the veil.
Feel it in waves. Let it take hold. Expand the mind. Shine like gold.
Morphing spaces. Patterns unfold. Experience other worlds.
Learn to see through the deceptions of your senses. Take control.
Reality is subjective. An illusion in your head.
The Planeswalker, with eyes aglow, watches all things shine like gold.

The Golden Hour

Forged in the heart of an ancient star.
Released into the night, destined for life on Earth.
Many suns hang near many horizons.
Clouds roll like thoughts forming, setting the skies on fire.
What will we learn when we return to the stars whence we came?
It's all the same, rearranged.

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Recently working on a new music project I dove headfirst into Doom Metal and found Gloson. I loved this album so much it set the bar for the entire project. This album is brilliant.
