Sight begins in simple forms
Receiving light, benign in its many shades
Warming the lifeless rifts of void
Within the cracks of a desolate world
Nothing can be questioned
And nothing can be seen
Corruption festers from within
Blinding with the warmest light
Ignorantly striving higher
Higher to the serpent sun
Corrosive plagues afflicting further
Ruminate the deluge of sin
Nothing can be questioned
And nothing can be seen
Corruption festers from within
Blinding with the warmest light
Lumination
Revealing rifts corroding in the deep
Constellations
Burying the withered aeons of the past
Lumination
Revealing rifts corroding in the deep
Constellations
Burying the withered aeons of the past
Lingering within the shadows
Obscured beyond the vibrant lights
Beacons of inherent truth
Veiling themselves in our pride
Are they peering deep within us?
Have they known us long before
While they aim to blind us
We do not turn away
Our deepest terrors are revealed
Strewn across the radiant sky
As we wither in the shadows
Eclipsing all the selves we have created
Are they peering deep within us?
Have they known us long before
While they aim to blind us
We do not turn away
Lumination
Revealing rifts corroding in the deep
Constellations
Burying the withered aeons of the past
Lumination
Revealing rifts corroding in the deep
Constellations
Burying the withered aeons of the past
To have traveled so far
Only to be left in blindness, wandering alone
Witnessing the crucifixion of the self
Leaves nothing to be sought on these worlds
Yet as heads are hung in mourning for the end
Open hands descend in offering
An understanding of the utmost consciousness
Revealing paths into future realms
To have traveled so far
Only to be left in blindness, wandering alone
Is not enough to conquer the soul
It is a beginning

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

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-

This whole album is flawless. This is music for walking in the rain and letting your thoughts run. It's not just a collection of songs, but an actual album. yakbone

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli
