Wretched Connection

I can see the future
Your next mistake
Stop contemplating and move over
I'm in your head now
Just pull the trigger
I'll give you want you want
No more inner isolation
I'll put your mind at ease
How much more can you take
You're dying alone, lifeless in space
An innerverse where truth still lies
Seal the past and close your cage
Plug you into my Phylactery
Push me through your neurons
Guilt creeping in
Gaze upon the Grand Scrutator
I'll fill you to the core
Punch you full of dopamine
My head's in a vise
No more desperate self confessions
Leave the past behind
How much more can you take
You're dying alone, lifeless in space
An innerverse where truth still lies
Seal the past and close your cage
Plug you into my
Plug you into my
Plug you into my
Plug you into my
How much more can you take
Plug you into my
Personal, virtual hell
Send for me in darkened thoughts
Freewill slips away
Don't speak, nothing to tell
We can find the flaw
Resist me and I'll push you out
Caste the die
Everyone's a slave to their own device
Just you and me
I can see the future
Your last mistake
Peel the eye wide open
Every thought comes back to you
In my final judgement
I can't waste away
Phantom breath, soul possessed
I'll chase you to the ends of time
How much more can you take
You're dying alone, lifeless in space
An innerverse where truth still lies
Seal the past and close your cage
Plug you into my Phylactery
Escape
Deeper is the only way out
Innerverse of despair
Break my brain from this cage
Strike fast
To the dark side of stars
Where they never burned
Artificial shadows ignite
Trapped
Pierce the back of my eyes
In an image that lies
Malformed realities
Rot
Imperfection eats him alive
Unholy generation
A wretched connection lures me back one more time

Clarity of Thought

Backed into
A corner by your crux
Misinterpreting your past, and now you're lost
Where's the line
A million lifeless eyes
Crumbled down and build back up
Denial weaponized
Spiral down, feeling senseless
Losing grip as you watch the silence grow
Your mind begins to close
Time will wash away the voices
Fading off as echoes in the void
Liminal place where you're left destroyed
Submit
Completely
Nightmare trance, your convinced you're dreaming
Here's the line
Marshalled side by side
The searing pain of the sun fills your final sky
Spiral down, feeling senseless
Losing grip as you watch the silence grow
Your mind begins to close
Time will wash away the voices
Fading off as echoes in the void
Liminal place where you're left destroyed
Lying to my face
Debt you must prepare to pay
Has my life gone to waste
We must ascend, you cannot stay
Individuality
A single truth you must obey
Drained of energy
Clarity of thought slips away
Your truth
Hiding in the light
Believe
Collective state of mind
Devolve
Ascension into dust
Carve the path
You got here on your own
Fulfilled forever more
Wanting to find yourself
Only to lose what was left

Post-Modern Terror
05:44
|
|||
|
Victim of the universe
An inside assault
Beginning of the end
Enlightenment is lost
Into the final dark age
Collapse from within
A new world order
A vain cathartic revolution
Fanatics tell you how to see
And nothing is believed
Enigmatic subjectivity
Obscuring everything
Choking words
Call it what you will
Perversion of reality
Terror reigns, sick fantasy of hate
Look deep inside yourself
Preach humanity
Can you stomach what you say
Teacher of insanity
An ugly inquisition, forever debased
Postmodern delusion, defy all reason
A power crusade
Condemn us all to dark illusion
Fanatics tell you how to see
And nothing is believed
Enigmatic subjectivity
Obscuring everything
Choking words
Call it what you will
Perversion of reality
Terror reigns, sick fantasy of hate
Sycophant
Enlightenment is lost
Millions will rot
Under the sun for a meaningless rock
Judge me, condemn me, take a good look
Say what's on your mind
Monster of philosophy
Religion in disguise
All your lies
No more lies
A spell to
Compel you
To rule the weak for the rich
Divide us
In silence
Into the next dark age
Shackled to insanity
Never asking why
A monster ripping free
Fight to change the world
We're gagged and bound
In your twisted vows
Pushed back through the mud
Vanity flash before your eyes
Forbidden to speak out
Now you die
What you were born
Tossed into the grave

Power Eternal
04:11
|

|
Unbound
No longer forced to sit and wait
Power grows, the sky draws black
Tension wrecks your brain
A rumbling from the deeps of time
The heinous being awakes
Claws rip your chest wide open
And steal your soul away
Offer up the weak to the pyre
Surging life into the infernal spire
Now it's too late
Breathing life once more
Retaking form and shape
Wretched cries from below
Dreamer
Step into your place
A massive rush of pressure knocks you back
Your life erodes away
Traversing lost eternities
The collector claims his stake
One by one enact the oath
Once enrolled
Forever enslaved
Offer up the weak to the pyre
Surging life into the infernal spire
Embrace you darkest hour
Sacrifice granting him eternal power
Now it's too late
Breathing life once more
Retaking form and shape
Voices calling him home

Alternate Histories
05:46
|

|
Losing grip
Forgetting who I am
And reaching out
For how I'm suppose to be
Lost and cold
Time has passed us by
If you could do it all again
What would you change
Looking back
What was said and left undone
What could be
No more
Another time I let you down
Alternate histories haunting us all
Masquerade in lost time
Memories are all we had
Take control
Innerverse of lies
A living nightmare
Changing shape and form
Human in disguise
Phylactery closing in
Trapped inside
Stories to tell yourself
Looking back
What was said and left undone
What could be
No more
Another time I let you down
Alternate histories haunting us all
Masquerade in lost time
Memories are all we had
Over and over
On and on
I am going to change
Promises spoken, dreams broken
I will break free
From genetics that inherit me
I'll never let you down
Hold onto every word I say
The truth is something else
Trapped inside immaterial walls
Tomorrow is a new day
Crumbling down
Hidden history of a man
A timeless maw
Truth is point of view
Buried in his lies
Phylactery opens minds
Total simulation
Into the warm distant hell
Looking back
What was said and left undone
What could be
No more
Another time I let you down
Alternate histories haunting us all
Masquerade in lost time
Memories are all we had

Parasite, The Bitter End
09:34
|

Parasite
Taker of all things pure
Only one will remain
I won't give you up so let me in
A power struggle
Taking control of you
With no compromising
Try to rip me out, I'll sink my teeth in
Twisting deeper
I fester in you
Eating your will to leave
Rotting from within
I infect our love
Your patience is
Host to a wretched spawn
Parasite
Prisoner of flesh
The destroyer of wills
I'll tear you down and use you up
A change inside
I'll inhabit you
You're losing control
Convince yourself that I can change
Can't run away
Twisting deeper
I fester in you
Eating your will to leave
Rotting from within
I infect our love
Your patience is
Host to a wretched spawn
Running away
While you still can
Was your last chance
Only one will remain
Injecting words
So Selfish and cruel
Death of romance
Bitter resentment feed my hunger
Smothering you
Fighting for air
About to explode
Shock your system
Parasite
I'm always needing more
Like a cancerous growth
Cut me out or I'll be the end
Lowlife
Manipulating you
In condescending form
Always fighting, never give in
Perfect host
Wrapped around my finger
In a state of flux
Never happy, wanting more
Bleed you dry, looking for an end
What happened to us
Holding on as tight as I can
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Inside your cage, surrounding me
No more dances with angels
Ten thousand halos in the sky
And we're so far from heaven
We should be dancing with angels
I'll live inside of you forever

Emporer meets Absu meets At the Gates. The full spectrum of extreme metal (and beyond) on display here. Excellent stuff.

J'espère qu'on me passera cette référence datée et de plutôt mauvais goût mais ce premier album éponyme d'Autonoesis me rappelle le portrait de la femme idéale brossé par Pascal dans Les Trois Frères (grosse référence, hein ?) : on a principalement du thrash metal exécuté à la perfection avec des solos de guitares incroyables qui s'enchaînent, avec une production et des thèmes du black metal atmosphérique (jusqu'à suivre la philosophie de tout faire seul) et du chant black metal. ET TOUT TIENT !

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore
