I.
Gaze
Not at the stars
But between them
Where the light only flickers
Between the sky’s peak
And the ocean’s breath
Where the blackest depth
From the farthest reach
Soaks
In the overcast gray
In the drenching downpour
Of the purest rain
II.
And should the heart of the sun
Beat
Through the fog
Blinding
With rays of fire
Beaming
Through the leaves
Burn
Hold the heat
Piercing
A path unknown
Charring
Edges upon gold
III.
Help
Find a way
Help
Fly away
Soar
High above mountain peaks
With worn, withered wings
In the cold, frigid air
Sacred air
Against winds that cut eyes blind
Like shards of broken glass
Cut into self
Cut into earth
IV.
Lust
Wander lost
Without hope
Without care
Dare
To disappear in thin air
To tie in knots
To tangle, twist, and tear
Be
Mangled
Be
Forgot
In the art of loss
V.
It’s lying all around us
It’s dying all around us
It’s all the same
Time has to show us
That it’s not in vain
That it’s not insane
That I’m not insane
It has to
VI.
Gaze
Into the heart of the sun
Beating
Through the fog
Into the blinding rays of fire
Burning
Through me
Never again
Will I
Run away

ION San Francisco, California
"Ion deal in a form of progressive, stream-of-consciousness Black Metal which merges visceral fury and immersive ambience in a manner that should appeal equally to fans of the feverish ferocity of Krallice, the psychedelic soundscapes of Orannsi Pazuzu, and the wandering atmosphere of Wolves In The Throne Room." ... more

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 45 fans who also own “A Path Unknown”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
