Blizzard and Brimstone

Collect and drain the minds
The husk frozen and left to die
Hellbent to survive
A shallow promise is their drive
Numb, dehumanized
Encased in a tomb made of ice
Counting on their afterlife
To validate the years sacrificed
Necropolis retches the misanthrope
These eyes have been frozen
These minds are eroded
Their faith has yet broken
Their fate goes unspoken
Where time can be bought and sold
Who knew that Hell could’ve been this cold?
A life spent in its mould
Tale of a death to be told
Wayward sense of worth
Has become one again with the Earth
Frozen lives already died
Save their blood clots and silent cries
Necropolis retches the misanthrope
These eyes have been frozen
These minds are eroded
Their faith has yet broken
Their fate goes unspoken
(Trapped) In lifetimes of bruises
(Trapped) A suffering, fruitless
(Trapped) A life spent withholding
(Trapped) As fate is unfolding
Feigning life
Icebound in
Sightless Hell
Mer des yeaux
These eyes have been frozen
These minds are eroded
The soul has been broken
Still, fate goes unspoken
In lifetimes of bruises
A suffering, fruitless
A life spent withholding
As fate is unfolding…

Chopin's Nightmare

I’ve seen earth suffocate unto final agony
A requiem’s sanctity, formaldehyde sea
Life passed me by as impromptu fantasy
Marche Funèbre from my reliquary
Hearkening to find, reality or mind?
Is this death, or have I gone blind?
Telltale is heartbeat, coffined, confined
Paralyzed in sanity’s silent unwind
What if I had mentioned
The horrors I’ve conceived?
Faint pounding of soil
Tormentors: the bereaved
Nocturne’s negation
Vivisection salvation
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude to eternity
Eternity, go
I’ve seen God, one who has since abandoned me
Could such anguish truly be of His decree?
Polonaise and waltz in this game of psyche
I’ve composed the soundtrack to my mortality
Woefully entombed, not to be exhumed
Ruin has befallen, erroneously assumed
Terminal opus, concerto for the doomed
By gravest of my fears, this life has been consumed
What if I had mentioned
To rip my core from me?
Faint pounding of soil
Étude for incapacity
This is my nightmare come true
This is my nightmare come true
Nocturne’s negation
Vivisection salvation
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude to eternity
Four-chambered anxiety
A prelude
To eternity, go

The Helix Withers

Phenomenal to be born
(Free will is illusory)
Now time must see these fibres torn
(Ignorance seducing me)
Every choice and every thought
(Consciousness is but a pawn)
Preprogrammed through genic rot
(In life’s game as we fester on)
Some only ponder this surface of skin
Others say a man is but his brain
Its flesh suit cradles an answer within
Twofold helical of molecular domain
For the sentient, a judgment made
Feeling experienced or notion conceived
Like all is a pawn in our DNA’s game
Through its bidding do we all come to bleed
As it withers
Phenomenal to be born
Against all odds to exist
Now all that’s left is to keep these fibres untorn
Although time cannot allow this
A continuance instinct, like every perception
Masterminded by a natural code
Every thought and sensation
Its product until the helical phenomena erodes
It all sheds away
Finite individualism, intuition’s call
A schism dividing yourself from you
To exist as a mind and a genetic thrall
One outweighs the other, prehension askew
With these blueprints in control
Thought is but flesh, and power it does hold
In this ego death, one might find comfort
Or anxiety, this too determined through the genic mould
Phenomenal to be born
Now time must see these fibres torn
Every choice and every thought
Preprogrammed through genic rot
Free will is illusory
Ignorance seducing me
Consciousness is but a pawn
In life’s game as we fester on
As to why sees no resolve
But the helix withers to evolve
Our framework is our opposition
For it has designed us to destruct
Architect of all emotion
These ephemeral minds to instruct
In this world, as abundant as empty space
But beyond, one as rare as us
An anomaly so commonplace
Into two the helix cuts
Phenomenal to be born
Against all odds to exist
Now all that’s left is to keep these fibres untorn
Although time cannot allow this
A continuance instinct, like every perception
Masterminded by a natural code
Every thought and sensation
Its product until the helical phenomena erodes
It all sheds away
It all sheds away
A life could never hope to be severed
From the binds of its heredity
To make sense of subconscious endeavour
Exercise in futility
Every story must once again be untold
Every chapter must be lost in time
Watching as superdeterminism unfolds
Dismaying, humbling, then sublime
Once more, the helix withers
A continuance instinct, like every perception
Masterminded by a natural code
Every thought and sensation
Its product until the helical phenomena erodes

Bleed Me an Ocean
05:07

Let the blackness roll on
Mother's cool reptilian womb
Ain't so cold tonight
My fingers trace the exit wounds
By graveyard light
There's bone dust in my throat and everything is dead
But it's all right
Take it easy
You bleed so easy
Bleed me an ocean
Bleed me an ocean tonight
By electric graveyard light
Bleed me an ocean
Let me lie beneath the sky
Teach me how to die
Bleed me an ocean
As the blossom eats the butterfly
Can you feel the cold death
That rides along your spine?
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
I was sexless in clouds again
I was chasing a cold, cold wind
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The deepest alone
I was riding the turbulence
An ocean of Hades
It's all downhill from here
On the outer nowhere
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
I was stoned to the bone
Of the blackness that hums
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The endless hum of the highway drone
I was riding the turbulence
An ocean of Hades
The taste of dead sex on my tongue
On my tongue, yeah
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Just like a raindrop
I was born baby to fall
And scale these prison walls
It was over before you were born
Sucked into the vacuum of this universal tomb
Old blossom dies
Like a young man breathes
The insects hum with their hunger and grieve
An icon of pale bone
Static white dream
Blind in the wilderness
Everybody scream
I couldn't find my way
Out the door
We all died
And woke up on the floor
We have arrived yeah
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace!
