Reborn
06:51

|
The poison crept into our state of mind
The sands of time run low for desecrated earth
The sky was darkening, the water running dry
From the ashes, a new resolve to take control
Are we out of time?
Breathe life
Reborn
A state of mind
Breaking the paradigm
Relight
Revive in time
Waning wisdom rise!
Oblivious to oblivion
Hurtling toward self harm
Strangers to self awareness
Stranded on the skeins of time, but maybe there is space to
Rearrange
Rewire the brain
Can we learn to breathe again
Or are we racing to the end?
Are our minds too closed to make this change and throw all caution to the wind?
Can we finally see, beyond our selfish hopes and dreams?
Will we blindly keep on dancing on our grave
Or determine to improve?
Improve!
Striving to improve our nature, to save us from ourselves
Mandatory mutation of the mind
We know we’re all guilty, we all have our share of sin
But in the dark there’s still a waning light
Before we face the starless night
Breathe life
Reborn
A state of mind
Breaking the paradigm
Relight
Revive in time
Waning wisdom rise!
Oblivious to oblivion
Blind to ruin for so long
Now starting to turn the corner
One more time before it's gone
Only one Technologist
Designing constructs to bring life
Can we learn to breathe again
Or are we racing to the end?
Are our minds too closed to make this change and throw all caution to the wind?
Can we finally see, beyond our selfish hopes and dreams?
Will we blindly keep on dancing on our grave
Or determine to improve?
Improve!

Deception
06:07
|
|||
|
Blurring the lines of morality
Perpetuating cycles of need
Manipulation of the truth
Deception
To further an agenda of greed
A plague of deceit comes to swallow us whole
Shrouded in secret and hidden far beyond control
Something is stirring, ancient and vile
Humanity’s need to corrupt, to drain, to use and to defile
Something is waking, the air has turned sour
Shadows are shifting, voices are scheming behind the doors of power
He worked himself to the bone
Throughout the night
Designing machines to help create life
But in the back of his mind
A fear, a doubt
A feeling that something here is not right
Blurring the lines of morality
Perpetuating cycles of need
Manipulation of the truth
Deception
To further an agenda of greed
Eyes drawn to restricted zone
Covert program, aim unknown
Undetected he crept in
To discover the hidden secrets within
Behind the doors
Sterile in white
A cavernous research lab
Towering biodome bathed in light
Inside the glass, shrouded in gas
There stood a vast machine
The engine he designed brought to life
A moment of wonder, now quickly turned grim
For as he drew near, his eyes adjust to reveal the scene within
This garden oasis, for nature's rebirth
Now turned to a wasteland, hundreds of species lay dead upon the earth
Confusion ran through his mind
The guilt, the shame
How could his engine bring so much doom?
‘Til he laid eyes on the core
Corrupted design
His engine perverted, set to consume
Facing down the overlords
Deceiving leaders
Why build a tool that deals in death?
From our dying earth
They mean to harvest all of nature for our gain
To fuel our needs until there's nothing left
We must keep harvesting resource
So man's consumption can go on
We'll artificially replace it
When all of nature's gone
Many protest while others deny
Their morals are shook to the core
But as he dissented, brutality came
The man was surrounded
And thrown onto the floor
Blurring the lines of morality
Perpetuating cycles of need
Manipulation of the truth
Deception
To further an agenda of greed
Those defiant brutalised
Before they could expose the lie
Many silenced for evermore
Left for dead upon a cold distant shore

Brothers
04:43

The waves keep rolling
Stones rushing with the tide
Small golden grains of sand the bed on which he lied
Each bone near broken
Dull aching from the fall
Still motionless in pain, his mind relives it all
Each breath so shallow
Whole body tense but still
Anticipating judgement
His fate sealed
Pleas fall on deaf ears
All freedom here refused
Brutal penance for his dreaming
Cast down to earth
Now divided, though our gifts came from the same hands
These fragile minds that fail to understand
Up high, where you think you all belong
Blindly following the path that's been designed
Up high, where you can do no wrong
But my brothers, it is conscience that you leave behind?
Internal struggle just to navigate
For comprehension of the shifts and the tides of the soul
Where every act has a consequence
And soon you’ll reap your own mistakes in the undertow
So when you're fighting just to stay afloat
And you struggle with the pain and the weight of it all
Will it be worth the self-delusion
When you're drowning in the depths below?
Now divided, though our gifts came from the same hands
These fragile minds that fail to understand
Up high, where you think you all belong
Blindly following the path that's been designed
Up high, where you can do no wrong
But my brothers, it is conscience that you leave behind?

Purge the Earth
06:16
|
|||
|
Shapes gather at the sunrise
Souls stirring in the light, fixed on their course
Marching with purpose
Feet pound the scorched earth beneath them
Clenched fists by their sides, bound to their cause
To oppose destruction, and regain what was lost
Rise now, sons and daughters of creation
Resist the purge of the land
Bury fear, summon strength, feel your anger rise
Our destruction is at hand
After the aeons of man’s exploitation
Draining the blood of the earth, without remorse
Unnatural extinctions
A tool that we made for organic generation
Forged to replenish the land, taken by force
Held in reserve, while they drain all the earth
Rise now, sons and daughters of creation
Resist the purge of the land
Bury fear, summon strength, feel your anger rise
Our destruction is at hand
In the silence before the storm,
Comes a moment of waking dream
Lucid visions of the past
All the colour of life in bloom,
Nature’s creation in every form
An ocean of green reborn, his perfected intention
But delusion is fading
Like the shards of a broken dream
And reality dawning
Brings a sickening feeling in
Now the hatred is rising
For those who tarnish and turn to dust
And conviction returning
To regain what was lost
Slowly advancing, prepared for the fight
Corrupted intentions lie raw in their minds
Unleashing their anger, releasing their rage
They strike at the heart of the bastards who reign
Rise now, sons and daughters of creation
Resist the purge of the earth
Bury fear, summon strength, feel your anger rise
Before this land becomes our hearse

Embers

Rays of light return to shade
Over this landscape, this ill-begotten death parade
This is the end, the extinction wave is close at hand
The grip of nature slips, destruction nears
Brought on by man
Extinction caused by man
Powers that be
Destroy with grand machinery
Gears set to grinding, fires are lit
Fragile humanity fights to reclaim it
The last of those who resist
Approach the firing line
Impending violence to defend
The right to exist
A headlong charge into the fray
The lines of soldiers prepare to keep the hordes at bay
The first wave hits, and the impact shudders flesh and bone
A mighty conflict rips to enter the restricted zone
Sinews strain and muscles tear
The scent of blood fills the air
The rend of skin, teeth on the floor
The scene descends into a sea of gore
Casualties mounting, unbearable loss
Authorities winning the day
Reclaim technology at any cost
The rebels re-enter the fray
Deluded dreams lead to the grave
In denial of the sacrifices that we should have made
Treading the embers of our home
We’ll mourn and drown in shame
As the sky is wreathed in flame
Battle rage, vicious fight
Human life is ended
Bodies pile up in the mud
Sacrifice, giving lives
But still getting nowhere
Every inch is paid in blood
Standing his ground, the defiant Technologist
Fighting like a man possessed
Lifting his eyes to a hecatomb all around
Piles of human flesh
Rebels now outnumbered, rapidly losing life
To avert disaster, needs a greater sacrifice
Tears in his eyes as he faced the machine
Sorrow, it burned through his heart
All the engines he made to create, now he must tear them apart
Chemicals rush in the core, unstable power source
Destroy this glowing sphere to silence the machine for evermore
He gazed into the orb one last time
His sad eyes reflected its light
Slowly with purpose he lifted it high
And brought it to ground with such terrible might
The sphere lay shattered on the floor
Rare chemicals mix in its core
Chain reactions take their course
The orb explodes with brutal force
Devastation all around
As he fell lifeless to the ground
Deluded dreams lead to the grave
Marching blindly to decay
In denial of the sacrifices that we should have made
Treading the embers of our home
We’ll mourn and drown in shame
As the sky is wreathed in flame

Pour un premier album, Konom fait montre d’une maîtrise franchement impressionnante. On pourrait leur reprocher d’être encore très classique dans leur approche du prog, mais ce serait pinailler. Ils ont déjà une identité reconnaissable. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org)

The Canadian crushers leaven proggy, dissonant death metal with graceful, atmospheric progressions across five hulking rippers.

Atmospheric, dreamy, melodic death, prog metal. 7 tracks that total approx. 55 minutes, with the longest clocking in at over 11 min. It's strange, different, and grew on me. The musicianship is outstanding.
