nikhilbejai Amazing music. The chemistry between the layers; the parallely evolving soundscapes, go beyond the skull cracking skill wankery; go beyond a mash-up of improv sections coaxed to sit next to each other. Potentially one of those acts that have a no strings attached relationship with metal. If you appreciate the structure, intricacy and surprises (think BTBAM, Opeth, TDEP, old Born of Osiris), do support them! If you prefer hammers relentlessly crashing down on you, go to the hardware store ;) Favorite track: Venusian Death.

Lekiwi It's been a while since I've been exposed to this level of originality and passion from a band that draws its influences from the extreme prog legends of old, particularly the likes of Cynic and Opeth. This will sit well with anyone who partakes in the heavy and challenging manifestations of prog. Favorite track: Venusian Death.

Civic TV 03:46
The TV screen: retinas of the mind’s eye One with the physical structure of the brain A false, illusory world of shadows we live in Elite factions unknown to most operate above the law Perpetuate propaganda, disguised signals on broadcast Causing tumours and hallucinations, programmable drones Nothing outside the perception of reality of a hive Dissolve into the anonymous whole Waking dreams give way to violent delusions Televised automatons flood your mind An elaborate hoax Transcend to the new flesh
2.
Crash landed on a jungle on Venus A group of four men Stranded in perpetual rain Led by the Lieutenant They trek through the rain To the sun domes Search to no avail Scepticism sets in quick Victims to catatonic states Dissociation Minds turn suicidal The loss of sanity They move in circles Compasses thrown off By electrical storms They slowly perish Venusian vegetation Even takes over the corpses In the rain Bodies shrunken Wrinkled like primitive apes Their shadows seem to stalk them all Colour of skin washed away Bodies shrunken Wrinkled like primitive apes Their shadows seem to stalk them all
3.
Disorder 05:47
Succumb to stimulated desire The contemplation returns Eradication of thought The manipulation of self Impulse control disorder Reiterate impulse Swayed. Induced. Convinced. Enticed. Coerced. Lured. Pushed. Lead. Influenced Manic state of being bipolar Or a sense of being invincible People don’t understand this strange disorder Their behaviour characterized thought Chemical imbalance in the brain Decreased blood flow to the cerebral cortex Higher reasoning and judgement suspended

Migrate 04:05
Enter the portal to cyberspace Enter the net so vast Enter this interstitial space Migrate to the net, evolve
