Awakening
from smouldered ash.
Ascending
from the gaping tomb.
Arising
from hollow caverns,
unto the earth.
The scorched earth,
the ruptured earth,
the withered earth,
the black earth,
the primal earth,
the barren earth
that bears our path.
From dried-out seas
to vanished mountains.
From poisoned rivers
to sunken shores.
From the cracks of the soil
to the fiery sky,
where we wander.
In the absence of light.
Through the impenetrable dark
ff all-devouring cessation.
To burn within,
and to alight from the circle
of blood-red dusk
and golden dawn.
To start the fire
from the vault,
down the vein
through ruptured ground
and wafting sand.
Into the womb of the earth
as we wander.
The scorched earth,
the ruptured earth,
the withered earth,
the black earth,
the primal earth,
the barren earth
that bears our path.

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

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

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-

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
