Track Name: A Gift From Theia: Oh mighty Titaness:
Theia of many names,
Mother of the moon,
Selene bears your smile.
We thank you for Luna:
Our light that shines at night,
Orbiting companion,
Among the stars (that have a different birth).

Gravity:
She danced along the Earth’s orbit.
Collision,
And a new sphere is born.

Magma dust and frozen rock
Explode into the air:
Luna takes her form
When Theia gently kissed the Earth.

Oh, mighty moon:
Our shining silver lantern
Glows with the light of her golden crown.
Her rays beam clear:
All-wise, all-seeing eye of night:
A satellite
To call our own.

Oh mighty Titaness:
Theia of many names,
Mother of the moon,
Selene bears your smile.
We thank you for Luna:
Our light that shines at night,
Orbiting companion,
Among the stars (that have a different birth).

Gravity:
She danced along the Earth’s orbit.
Collision,
And a new sphere is born.

Magma dust and frozen rock
Explode into the air:
Luna takes her form
When Theia gently kissed the Earth.
Track Name: Lurking in the Boötes Void: Empty sphere,
Where these creatures hide.
Expanding across the universal plane:
Relics of an old race,
As ancient as the universe:
Artifacts that feast upon the stars.

Suns trapped in Dyson-spheres:
Automated megastructures:
Architecture to harvest the stars.
Light-years of emptiness,
Dark matter's force increases:
More substance to nourish the void.

Artificial intelligence
(calculating to)
Create colossuses,
(A virus-like)
Hivemind
Procreating to procreate
An unnatural empire,
Reaching across galaxies:
A desert in the cosmic sea.

Unrelenting mass production;
Lay the framework for extinction:
Millions of machines that move as one.
Damage that can't be undone:
A beast that doesn’t think or feel;
Only exist to multiply:
Lurking in the Boötes void.

The void is growing larger:
(a barren)
Darkness in an ocean of light.
More Dyson structures created,
More resources consumed.
Unrelenting as time itself,
Poisoning all it touches:
Absorb the galaxy,
Absorb the universe.

Ancient evil lurking in the darkness,
A mystery consisting of nothing:
Lurking in the Boötes void,
Dark matter pushing us further.
The unknowns of our own universe:
Lurking in the Boötes void.

Locked in time,
Corroded stardust:
Reach out for answers inside.
Light-years from us,
Yet drawing closer,
Lurking in the Boötes void.
Track Name: Caught in the Ergosphere: Trapped:
This devastating swan song.
Imploded star:
Ripping, tearing,
Force of an absolute dark:
Light cannot escape,
Manipulating space and time.
Black:
Gravity contorting,
Challenging known physics:
Infinite regression of distortions.
Sphere:
Shaping the cosmos:
Its greatest power
Is its greatest mystery,

Traveled too close to the event horizon,
Our thirst for knowledge will drown us this time.
Captured by a force (that) nothing can escape,
Pulling us in the sphere.
Space dragging by negative energy:
Penetrating the static surface:
Infinite rotations, infinite energies.

Revolutions growing,
Universal Power,
Physics contorting,
Caught in the ergosphere.

Time is slowing,
Revolutions growing,
Universal Power,
Physics contorting.

In this moment, I leave my flesh behind:
Transcended in the center of this wormhole,
Unlocked the secrets of the universe.
I re-materialize in this unknown galaxy:
A portal to other worlds or other realities:
It’s ripping and tearing, contorting,
As we travel through alternate dimensions.

Birthing Homunculi
by Equipoise

supported by 6 fans who also own “Planet Storm”

Un EP qui vaut surtout pour Le Birthing homunculi, morceau en 3 parties, puisque les 2 autres sont sur le terrible Demiurgus. Réellement impressionnant ! Un groupe qui ferait passer Obscura pour du punk ! Nicolas RESSOT

The Odious Construct (EP)
by The Odious Construct

supported by 5 fans who also own “Planet Storm”

After the EP Shrine of the Obscene ravaged my conscience I made the rookie mistake of forgetting to check the discography. While I'm pained to find only one EP, I'm still nonetheless enthralled with the brutally melodic assault and pleasantly surprised at the quality of their debut. Arrogant Bastard

Mechanical Manslaughter
by Oppressor God

supported by 5 fans who also own “Planet Storm”

Super brutal technical death metal that has extremely talented musicians filling all spots. From the Insane guttorals and squeels to the barrage of blastbeats from the low end and the endless technical guitar sweeps and breakdowns. This is simply really good metal. Dig the crazy guttorals and sludginess of the track Void. Rhokeheart

Grievous
by Convulsing

An assembly line of crushing doom, blistering death-rock, and misery-laden black-metal, powered by a one-man torture machine. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 30, 2018
