As tall as trees do these beings stand
But firmly rooted in arid soils
Hardly able to sustain
Anything that resembles life
As no light shines through their crowns
And no winds rustle their leaves
They let loose their seeds
To more hopeful grounds
But never again, they know
Will they themselves move
As lost as ships in starless oceans
Are these beings, navigating
Through the blackness, anchorless
As though on a mission
Of any consequence
Their anchors have not been lost,
No – they have never existed
Not because they are not needed,
No – But because there are no harbours
In which to cast them

This is a beautifully scorching multilayered atmospheric black metal album that I loved at first listen and still grows on me even more with every spin. From beginning to end it doesnt let up with the riffs and the multi howl attack. Im looking forward to the next one and really anything Mare Cognitum is involved in. stevenbeverage

I don't really like black metal much. But... this is pitched far enough from the archetypes of the genre that I can actually enjoy it as the beautiful piece of progressive metal that it is. Lethologica82
