A Wayward Course

Midway upon the journey of my life I found myself lost
For the straightforward path had been abandoned
So full was I of slumber at the moment
I had relinquised the true way
I'm confused I don't recognize this place
Sounds of waves striking wood had awaken me
I smell the sent of damp lumber, sweat and the ocean
I distinguish sails lashed by the wind, and feel a cold sting on my skin
I was lying on the deck of a hefty ship
A place savage, rough, and stern with men shouting in every direction
All seemed to be afraid of something
As my awareness became full the men's cries started to make sense
The stormcoulds were approaching
I'm now standing here calm and still without fear
Ready to face the threat
The storm is coming

The Storm
07:08
|

|
Awake for days, I'm now longing for sleep
The crashing waves are calling us into the deep
These liquid lines slowly hypnotize
And bring me back to where it all began
We're drifting more and more and losing control
Our backs turned to the shore, there's no escaping
I choose to face on my own the power of the storm
And as I stand here alone, a certain death awaits me
Forgive my darkness inside
It was not supposed to end this way
Falling fast, I won't survive
This is where I die
Creeping shadows fill the sky
circling above the raging waters
The clock keeps ticking, a twisted decay
These hands are turning, and pulling me under to stay
Hear the thunder, a deafning roar
Feel the power, of the storm
Of the storm
Countless lives were lost tonight
Here within the emerald eye
A pauper's grave for them to rest
Washed away forever from the surface
No epitath, no stone
No one left to mourn
In seconds, life erased
Behind them not a trace
Becoming distant memories
Why am I the only one that still breaths?
Drowning in a flood of liquid agony
Hoping that the stars would now collide
To help my escape from rising tides
Lightning sparks the flames of war
A sealed fate for all aboard
The clouds will fall and turn to black
Here darkness reigns and there's no turning back
We are lost in a dream
Trapped inside my own fantasy
I've witnessed what I could not believe
These liquid lines and shifting imagery
Push back the stones of reality
Shattered to pieces, I'm trying to hide
This moment of weakness has torn me up inside

Tides

My life is in the hands of the moon and sun
They have taken my freedom
Currents are flowing fast
They bring me to the open sea
I'm roaming on the shores of entropy
Rise, fall, immerge us all
Take me back home
Nocturnal streams give birth to slack water
and with great force lift me from the depths of the river
Falling fast, I won't survive
This is where I die
Creeping shadows fill the sky
and surround me for the last time

Starless Night
04:38
|
|||
|
Everlasting rain still pours inside my veins
Stars desert the sky as I keep asking why
The cleared view above awakes the memories
of a shattered love that poisons all I see
Contemplate the dark and ghastly meadows
Obscurity unveils an ocean of sorrow
Crawling shades from afar deceive my foolish mind
I do not know who they are but they've tamed this starless night
We're sailing away while the silver wake glows in the darkness
I'm fading to grey at the twilight of my life

The course is found, impulses bound
The haunting song lingers
A tempting call for us to fall
Abides in their whispers
They are the ones that obliterate the memory
And all the means to follow the course
An addiction to sin that might take me away from the
Land of my heart's desire
The diabolical muse, master of lies and seduction
Can lure the fools overboard
If you fail and fall, you rapidly drift into a state
Of shattering madness
Lightning sparks the flames of war
A sealed fate for all aboard
The clouds will fall and turn to black
Here darkness reigns and there's no turning back
Tie this rope around my chest
And don’t ever let me go
Search for hope beyond this deck
Save my worthless soul
They are the ones that obliterate the memory
And all the means to follow the course
An addiction to sin that might take me away from the
Land of my heart's desire
The diabolical muse, master of lies and seduction
Can lure the fools overboard
If you fail and fall, you rapidly drift into a state
Of shattering madness
We are lost in a dream
Trapped inside my own fantasy
I've witnessed what I could not believe
These liquid lines and shifting imagery
Push back the stones of reality
Shattered to pieces, I'm trying to hide
This moment of weakness has torn me up inside
I’ve misplaced my trust in these ephemeral ghosts. I wish to find their unseen lair
Obsession slowly creeps in my mind with the lingering smell of their golden hair
A never ending reverie, a shade lost in my eye
I see what’s no longer there
The walls around this fantasy, conceal where we strive
Our wake draws a circle on the water
Shield the feeble-minded for they’ll be the first to fall
They always long for what they cannot have
Tremble with fear, cry out with hate
A watery grave is our destined fate
The hull is breached
We’re sinking to the bottom of the sea

Abyss
05:07
|
|||
|
The cold enters in, pealing my skin
I now face the deep unknown
The absence of light hints shapeshifting lines
The time has come to reap what you’ve sown
Archaic energies lurk in the heart of the sea
They'll rise from centuries of secrecy and slumber
They’ll rise and devour my dead soul
A final dive to reach the peaceful meadows
Ahhh…
Touch the grim wraith, with a leap of faith
And the darkness will vanish in a blaze
With my last breath, I’m deceived by death
This bleak pit will not become my grave
Sacred ground, under my feet
Submerged mound, a place to dwell
Abysmal moor, my downfall’s complete
Found before, the vast gates of hell

Peace on these shores
As death knocks at my door
Fallen from grace
I reach out and touch your face
Morning rise a premature advent
Seductive words that bolster my lament
The crying shadow in the funeral dance
Hellish visions of my withering prance
Bouncing beams of scattering light expand across the gruesome sky
Lavishing waves of flourishing rain cure me from the unseen pain
Crevices upon my skin are sealed by these solar winds
Forsaken a myriad of scars envelop me until the break of dawn
She rides the wind across the sky and watches over the night
She brings the sun to the earth
Blossoming to constant mirth
Daughter of the moon
Mother of the morning star
A path made of roses she leaves behind
As a cure for all mankind
Pristine clarity in the black
Lost inside a reverie
Thriving shadow on my back
Resurgence of the tragedy
Pompous scrutiny from envious eyes
Sowing seeds of treachery
Vast conspiracy for my demise
The messenger of sorrow will then rise
Rise
Beyond the mountain tops
Daughter of the moon
The sun has fallen
The fiend has awaken
All is lost to darkness
Mother of the morning star
A path made of roses she leaves behind
As a cure for all mankind

Vesper

Lucifer brings this night to day
Upon his chariot I gaze
Yield to the astral haul
He dominates the world with his call
His call
The beast will spur my downward fall
Pierce my heart and slay us all
His scaled whip will peal my skin for eternity
The liquid fires will burn, consuming my soul endlessly
As we both ascend
Be there at the end
Night falls with his song
Sparrow of the dawn
The night falls
The wind blows
Amid the sky the moon glows
Vanquishing thoughts of remorse
On a trail of deceit and decay
Returning back to the source
Of where it all began
Walking through fields of waste
A fathomless scenery
This pathway leads to my grave
Not my return
Vesper
Night falls with his song
The cold enters in
Vesper
Sparrow of the dawn
Abysmal ascension
Drifting with the acheron's flows
Until I reach the other side
The book tracing all my woes
Is soon to be forgotten
These pages filled with empty words slip out of my hand
And disppear in the water
At peace I lie on my back , facing the sky
Waiting to see you again
Vesper
Night falls with his song
The cold enters in
Vesper
Sparrow of the dawn
Abysmal ascension

Drifting in the celestial realm
Before me an open door
One last wreck shall overwhelm
I hope to find you once more
I'm stung by the hurled sand and the broken shells on the shore
Carving lines on my face where there were none before
Shape me an altar from the cliffs of my crippling madness
Stone by stone tear down my fortress
Hear my lament
It's my final cry on this earth
To hell-fire I'm sent
My voice has become a fading echo
Far off beneath the dark blue waves is a promise of sleep
Unquiet are the graves of those for whom we weep
The sea of solitude reflects a pale image of the past
Strewed denial lacerates as broken glass
Nocturnal streams give birth to slack water
and with great force lift me from the depths in
Silence
Where no sound may be
Shadows are wandering free
Idle grounds harbor the shrine of the faceless god bound to decline
Vesper
Night falls with his song
The cold enters in
Vesper
Ssparrow of the dawn
Abysmal ascension
Morning rise a premature advent
Seductive words that bolster my lament
The crying shadow in the funeral dance
Hellish visions of my withering prance
Pristine clarity in the black
Lost inside a reverie
Thriving shadow on my back
Resurgence of the tragedy
Pompous scrutiny from envious eyes
Sowing seeds of treachery
Vast conspiracy for my demise
The messenger of sorrow will then
Drift with the acheron's flows
Until I reach the other side
The book tracing all my woes
Is soon to be forgotten
These pages filled with empty words slip out of my hand
And disppear in the water
At peace I lie on my back
Facing the sky
Waiting to see you again
We are lost in a dream
Trapped inside my own fantasy
I've witnessed what I could not believe
These liquid lines and shifting imagery
Push back the stones of reality
Shattered to pieces, I'm trying to hide
This moment of weakness has torn me up inside
Falling fast
I didn't survive
This is where I died
I rose up far beyond the sky
To peace I'm headed on the other side

supported by 9 fans who also own “Liquid Imagery”
An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs.
