Cosmic Warfare

|
From a vast and tranquil labyrinth of worlds
Grows a star swollen with the essence of time
Roaring from the core
The element of death evoking and summoning
a darkness within our thriving universe
Through the molecules of light
Evolution of life
Omega Nova
Oh prepare for cosmic warfare
Cries the ancient sun
Ethereal plains shall die
in cleansing fire
Behold the dark and haunting chasm
Where the first wave warps the astral mind
Corrupted by a black implosion
Gone is the breathing disease
Now banished to the kingdom of immortal agony
Never to return to the world untorn
Falling through dimensions of time
Erasing existence
From realms so old
Beyond the event horizon
The extinction of light
Following the echoes of time
Now the ancient sun and stars collide
All will be gone when it's done
An endless battle of broken lines
Drifting atoms
Solar winds
Entwine at the speed of light
Revealing secrets from Oblivion
Violent explosions illuminate the tides
Dark matter enthralls celestial minds
Transcendence of a known dire plain
Stars die
In beautiful flame
Eternal solar decay
Dark shadows
Pierce worlds
within the final cosmic war
Oh prepare for cosmic warfare
Cries the ancient sun
Ethereal plains shall die
in cleansing fire
Behold the dark and haunting chasm
When the last wave strikes the astral heart
Projecting illusions of a new world
Following the echoes of time
Now the ancient sun and stars collide
All will be gone when it's done
A Cosmic Warfare
Eternalize
Violent explosions illuminate the tides
Dark matter enthralls celestial minds
Transcendence of a known dire plain
Stars die
In beautiful flame
Eternal solar decay
Dark shadows pierce worlds within
The final cosmic war

Ethereal Wanderer
08:37
|
|||
|
Within the dark plains of time
Twisting shadows of dying light
Frozen clouds embrace the mind
Follow the calling void
Crying out to take a breath
Falling ashes douse the soul
Embers soaring through the smoke
All star filled skies die
In astral flame
In warping time
and waning light
Tear out the life, the love, the hope
Fall back into the boundless sea
Before divine reality
Uncover true misanthropy
Lost in the ether’s maze
Nurtured by transcending phase
Cast away your mortal form
In death, become reborn
Oh forgotten are the old ways
Forbidden from the warm days
Guided by the ghost
Bound forever in endless space
Ethereal Wanderer
Eternal universe
Ethereal Wanderer
Eternal mystery
In the dark
Tear of time
Within old stars
I fade away
Far beyond oceans teeming with life
From the deepest caverns of long, cold, and distant worlds
Roaming endlessly through time and space
Forever adrift upon this place
Fly
Fly to feel alive
Nowhere to hide
Faster than light
I must decide
Where my memories go
Till ancient wisdom grows in my soul
Show me my desire
Hold me now
Oh Give me your power
To rule time
Right the wrongs of my life
On newly formed paths unknown
From the shadows of the past I rise
Welcoming the night
Call upon the broken dream
Where light shines around a crown
This is what I seek
A chance to be free
On the edge of tomorrow
Behind fading sorrow
Show me the path ahead
Dawning horizon
Darkness forgotten
Grant me the power of the dead
The sun, the moon, everlasting memory
Fade away in my mind
A future so still
Guiding light
Follow the one who wanders in nightfall
Between realms of broken lifetimes
Blinded in confusion
By the dark illusion
Promised with a broken fate
Told a tale of lies
By immortal eyes
Flowing from the voice of the Ethereal Wanderer

Spectral Rebirth
10:26
|
|||
|
Binding motion
Drifting vision of an old realm torn apart
Mourning cry
Fading dream in a world bound to endless shadow
Quiet thought
Barren mind
Dark gateways open daunting choices
Ageless one
Desolate void
In a weary journey through time
Ripped from reality
Pulled apart by unknown matter
Take away the mortal burden
Rising shadow
Swallowed in endless gravity
Future embracing darkness
Violence to achieve liberty
Haunting answer
Roaming out toward the black plain of time
Broken mirrors all around the mind
All is gone now
Reaching out toward the blinding light
Ancient voices echo through my head
Until the final day
Ancient voices
I open my eyes to surrounding shades of darkness
What once was there in the fire is now gone
Reborn as a spectral god among this plain of existence
Where mortal life shall be undone
Sleeping stars far below
A quiet home for eternity
Hidden words of long lost frozen worlds
I shall follow
Beneath the dark and embracing sorrow
Return to the constellation
Hold the light far inside the Spectral Rebirth
Before man spreads its sickness through all tranquil worlds
Fall back into the shadow of our past
Where time and all dimensions lay forever still
How does it feel so real
When I open my eyes
Call out to worlds far away
Where I go to be free
Open my eyes
See the stars
Flowing to the blazing light
Follow the stars to discover what came before
Gaze into the void through the eye of the storm
Let go of this life to uncover all things unknown
To awaken from the Spectral Rebirth
When it’s all over and broken
I’ll always remember a way through the night
Reaching the core of an empty void
Forever in the motions of time
Weeping echo by the last soul of the world
It’s time to decide
Where to go
Make a choice
No remorse
Go far away to infinity
And I realize where I must go
Beyond the vast cosmos
unto intertwining worlds around their
fading, dying, hollow star

Divine Destruction
08:53
|
|||
|
A whirlwind of fire
So vivid and pure
A blinding phenomenon
For which we endure
A death of a star
Malicious and cruel
For all that’s known
Shall vanish under its rule
There above the dark clouds in the sky
A light appeared to me
Where voices of ancestors call forth names unknown
I reach out into the old flame
Silently pray to the gods
Searching for secrets untold
so alone
Gone in the light for all eternity
Fly far away where dreams flow as one
When the burning chains are broken
I will see beyond the veil of time
To unknown realms afar
By utter Divine Destruction
In a sudden flux
All taken by fire
Become eternal
Through a cosmic funeral pyre
Blaze, the blaze rains down from the stars
Incendiary storm
A blowing and twisting inferno
Obliterate
Eliminate
Down to the core
Of all things under the sun
I’m out of time
Voices lurk over the flame
They beckon us all home
Ignite
The blasting monsoon
Burn it down
To ash
The construct
Of all life forms
Before dark matter
Swallows existence
Cleansing the cosmos
Beyond dimensions
Through time and space
Lo a solar sacrifice
With absolute power
Rid the holy paradise
Where promises of peace go to die
The promises
Of paradise
Circumvent reality
Broken chains
That held the truth
Of a quantum afterlife
Burning matter
Of a whirling
Ancient fire all around us
Floating to the ever pulling event horizon
Fall
Through the void
Lie on the waves circling
The final maelstrom
Pulled apart phase by phase
Under atomic riptides
Conjuring dark spells of bleeding lunacy
Warping visions of time within forces of gravity
In this sacred soul cremation
Gone in the light
For all eternity
Fly far away
Where dreams flow as one
When the burning chains are broken
I will see beyond the veil of time
To unknown realms afar
Forever gone from this world
Nothing remains behind the Divine Destruction
For no tranquility will be left in silence

Forgotten Silence
11:29
|
|||
|
Long ago before we all crossed over
Into our known mere existence
There I was lost in the growing darkness
For I knew not where to look
Touched by the wicked fire of creation
Oh there is no sound beyond broken lines in spacetime
Walking alone to the silence
I no longer hear
Calling voices
Lull and soothing winds
Breathing oceans
Long before life
Dreaming whisper
In the moonlight
Teeming life forms
All around the
Solar heartbeat
Rolling soundwaves
Through the comic
Great vibration
In a construct
Far within the
Forgotten Silence
Longing for a noise
Will you release my voice
Dark rings circle over my thoughts and visions
Blackened mirrors all around me
Follow the ancient ones who carved a path
So old a quietly cold
Before the stars were born
From the pre ancient times
Before the light
There was no Hellfire
Destruction nor war
Seeking out the calm
On the other side
Of an imploding star
Ride through the gate
Drain out the blood
Strip away thy flesh
Pull apart all matter
Down to the final
Molecules of life
Taking of the soul
Drift away in time forever
Crossing over into a new realm
Where no thoughts are left alone
But I cannot feel my own existence
Eternal night
Cast from the olden flame
Become the stardust of a quiet place
Searching for light
Frozen in forgotten memories alone
Lost in this dimension
Seeking the core
Embarking through endless space
Losing my mind
In deafening silence
Vanishing skies
In it’s dark, haunting face
Wither away in fatal delirium
Go
Wither away
Into the void
Of the black star
Chasing a sound
Of what used to be
In this journey
Through the universe
Come and open your eyes to see
What lies beyond this life
Now feel the fading hand
Take you away in death
Fly through the heart
Of a great northern star
Become one with
All o’ everlasting time
Calling voices
Lull and soothing winds
Breathing oceans
Long before life
Dreaming whisper
In the moonlight
Teeming life forms
All around the
Solar heartbeat
Roaming soundwaves
Through the comic
Great vibration
In a construct
Far within the
Forgotten Silence

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun
supported by 62 fans who also own “Cosmic Warfare”
The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun
supported by 61 fans who also own “Cosmic Warfare”
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here.
