Oh sleeping creation
Hide behind curtains of stars
Drown your lifeless form
In this screaming sea
Leaving the arms of time
To dream
I am born a lidless eye
A mirror, a thousand suns
A disfigured illusion
Of frivolous wonder
Leaving the arms of time
To dream of creation
To weave
The sky
To mold
The earth
Void shaping void
Into infinite forms
To govern its will
To create the sublime
Light shaping light
Into infinite void
To destine its form
To create its own will
Oh sleeping creation
Hide behind curtains of stars
Drown your lifeless form
In this screaming sea
I am born a lidless eye
A mirror, a thousand suns
A disfigured illusion
Of frivolous wonder
Soon shall this light fade
And nourish the stars
To plant the dark suns
Of future creation
definetely one of my favourite bm projects lately, love the synth elements. makes you remember how amazing, but terrifying, space really is :) scumdrug
Some of the best cosmic black metal I've heard. Mare Cognitum continues to prove themselves to be masters of crafting a vast, celstial soundscape, and the Lovecraft-esque atmosphere present throughout Aureole's half definitely made me want to check out the rest of their discography. honeycombguy
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
