An unbiased and indiscriminate annihilation
An unforeseen force, a diaspora
Propagandized as self inflicted abandonment
Unprecedented deeds unforeseen
Have led to this mission for another life
Banished from a dying world
We have journeyed through worse than this
For many lifetimes
To this odyssey we must submit
This will be our pilgrimage
Unprecedented deeds
This will be our legacy
Survival is pertinent
But it is not guaranteed
Searching for a lighthouse
In this celestial ocean
May we not drown
In the depths of this emptiness
To the stars, we must embark
We must take flight
Ignite the flames of journey
Elevate this life
These feelings of abandonment
And this new hope
This thought of enlightenment
Has swallowed us whole
Our old home
Buried but never forgotten
The memories
Of everything that we tried to save
We must preserve
On this new flight of exploration
Our only salvation

Do not surrender
This epic rock from which we’ve
carved our history
Lost but not forgotten
Faded through horizons of infinity
Is this the path our ancestors crossed-
To write the math of who we are?
We seek an end
To our pain
Can we survive
This endless abyss?
To fight or flee,
Who are we?
Our offspring of the universe
That has given us birth
We were one
But now we slowly say goodbye
Farewell to our Earth
We are the last of our kind
Our kingdoms have fallen
Now our time is this space
The void is calling
Do not surrender
To this timeline we have lived through
Survival in this unknown openness, this abyss
We must preserve what we have fought for
Do not surrender; we must preserve

Divine entities,
the only light in these empty skies
We feel your energy
It is our compass through this
Endless distance, seeking our terminus
Our final purpose, in your eternal creation
We are but a glimpse
In your limitless existence
We must preserve
We must persevere
We must conserve
We will shape this frontier
Interstellar giants intertwined
Bound to the sovereignty of our path
Not a certainty for fortune of circumstance
Nor an assigned destination of our doom
These majesty’s of invisible lines
have surmised a destructive power,
Through loathing and divisive indoctrination
Our nations have succumb to extermination
Does luck exist in this future ruled by the infinite?
Or is there no familiar moon to pull the tide of our fate?
No heavenly oceans’ current steers this course we create
Is there something more to these astral bodies?
A zodiacal energy, angelic beings
like the ancient stories of old
Guiding our intergalactic chariot into the unknown
The organs in our chest aren’t unlike your inner core
A fire shines in time and space
until it burns no more
But this day it’s bright beacon
Helps us find our way
Reaching for the sky, an innocent delight
As cosmic lights shine so bright,
We fly our final flight
On this cosmic journey we dedicate our lives
Can the fire of man truly die?
We skip across the stars like a stone
Searching until we find our new home

We strive for a new world
A new place to call our home
This blackened sea will bring us
To our terminus
This journey shall bestow upon we
The rightful home to our species
Our new place in this galaxy
We shall find the pieces of the puzzle to this universe
We shall forge a new path forward
This vessel will deliver
Our message to the stars
Our journey will not be forgotten
Ad Astra!
Who are we to question
The judgment of the stars
Is our existence merely a glimpse
In space and time?
No!
Our destiny is intertwined
With the heavens
We must bring the future
To our children and descendants
[ERROR] [SYSTEMS FROZEN]
[REBOOT SEQUENCE INITIALIZED] [ERROR]
Can we build back
From the ashes of all we lost?
Will this celestial mission
Bring life to our cause?
The fire of humanity
Will never exhaust
Our salvation will come
But at what cost?
We will not die
We will not falter
Our fate, our future
Our destiny remains unaltered
The future will be met
This voyage will bring us home
"Captains log, number 261;
Our ship has taken irreparable damage,
Survival seems unlikely,
And success lies just out of our grasp
We were Earths only chance
Have we failed?
The future must be met
This voyage must bring us home
Per Aspera Ad Astra”
The future will be met

Out of the dust
Our journey is born,
We will not be the Starscorn
Though our bodies will rust,
Our will is untorn
We will be the Starborn
Through this endless sea,
We brave the storm
We will not be the Starscorn
Out of the dust
Our journey is born,
We are the Starborn
This is what we have died for
This navigation is our new Bible
On which we place our survival
Holding faith in our new trials
We are the new disciples
Discovery and inspiration
In this emptiness
The stars bring thoughts of ambition
We have achieved divine intervention
We will not surrender
We are the angels of Moirai
The stars tying the strings of fate
In time we will spread our wings
No more gods, no more kings
Fighting for the future we deserve
Will we perish, or preserve?
Riding on the waves of time,
Escaping Earth's fatal crime
Searching for our Eden
We will find the promised land
Grasping to life, we must fight
Destiny is ours to command

Through the ashes, we come to light
Under embers, we grow towards the light
Revealed is the dream I once remembered
The world we knew is no longer there
Through the void
Your name is now called
Pulling towards the nexus point
And now our fate
Our design to align
With the distant call
Anointed chosen ones
You’re children;
We call you home
Through the ashes, we come to life
Under embers, we grow towards the light
Revealed is the dream I once remembered
The world we knew resides only in your mind

To the ones we lost
To the ones we left behind
Your memories live on
Still seen by the blind
We leave the cinders and ash
Of a world turned to dust
And the cold corpses
Of the homes we had crushed
We’ve spent centuries
Spilling our own blood
In the name of religion
In the name of hypocritical righteousness
In the flames we burn
In the flames we die
Will we ever learn?
This our last lullaby
To the flames we return
Eternal voices cry
To ashes we turn
This is our final goodbye
We have preserved
We have persevered
We have conserved
We have shaped this frontier
From the stars, we’ve come so far
We’ve found our light
This land is not unlike our own
Fate has shined upon our plight
We have found our new world
Our shelter from the storm
This blackened sea has brought us
To our terminus
We have carried the torch
That lit the fire of humanity
We have found a home
Free from the chains of the old gods
This cold, unforgiving sea
Has delivered us the future
We are starbound
We will survive
Invenimus Eden

Feelin' like it's over,
Feelin' like there's no love
Feelin' like it's not easy,
Breathin' life in the dust
On a countdown to zero,
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything
Oh, here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
When we all fall down
When we walk into silence
When we shadow the sun
When we surrender to violence
Oh, then the damage is done, put away that gun
I don't want to be there
I don't want to be anywhere
Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for?
We're fightin' with the gods of war
But I'm a rebel
And I ain't gonna fight no more
No way!
On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
Whoa, there ain't gonna be anything
Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for?
We're fightin' with the gods of war
And I ain't gonna fight no more
Stop!
We're fightin' for the gods of war
(Stop fighting for the gods of war)
But what the hell we fightin' for?
(What the hell we fightin' for?)
We're fightin' with the gods of war

SAT312: Abigorum - Vergessene Stille (2021)
by Satanath Records
supported by 13 fans who also own “Endoterra”
Doom metal in tone and lyrics steeped in a dark, haunting world. Wicked cover art to magnify this sweet, sweet blackened treat. Abigorum grows stronger by the day. Satanath once again offers another obsidian gem!

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

Voluntary Exile is on repeat! Haissem has upended my expectations with this album. Whatever you want to label them genre-wise they do it all well.

Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.”
