americaneurosbmlover66613 This album by Infestum attacks your senses with the ferocity of a hammer to the skull, while maintaining conscious atmosphere with Temple of Mirrors and the phenomenal interlude "The Art of the Beast". Infestum invites those who feel at home with Vesania's Firefrost Arcanum and Behemoth's Evangelion, adds multilayered electronic samples and lavish theming from Nietzsche and Jung. Not to mention their fantastic cover of Venom. An album no symphonic blackened death fan should miss. Favorite track: Iron Hammer upon the Skull of Slave.

Among the human ghosts who never lived eternity at last achieved All universe had lost materiality You fall into alternative reality Eternity Duality All previous memories erased There is nothing feels like form and weight And like beginning and the end At once you're rock and grain of sand And what is fiction You had been terrified The cruel instintction The Void of Nebulae And what is real? What is fake? And what to feel, to see, to take? And no more reasons to regret That you where alive and now you're dead And what is fiction You had been terrified The cruel instintction The Void of Nebulae You're dead for all what lives in lies Thinks their feels are real life Thick balance on the edge of knife The crucial moment has arrived On the other side of your mind Where is nothing to exist Only shadows in mist Do you call me your priest? Want you find the way out? Eyes opened wide Deep in the night... Void of Nebulae

I swear to kneel before no one The root of slavery expelled My God is Overman to come All idols of foretime are felled Decision... Decision transforms into destiny The destiny to choose the Path Among the Stars I swear to decimate the scum To be the enemy of all What rots in dungeons of the mind Degenerated world would fall Redemption... Redemption transforms into renaissanse The renaissance of God on Earth The world to come One word that was never spoken. One light that was never lit up. An unparalleled confusion. And a road without end. (Excerpt from “LIBER NOVUS”. C.G.Jung) I swear to grasp the mysteries The ways to rule my universe And puissance of mind reveals The dark reality's reverse Ascension... Ascension transforms into sorcery The sorcery of intellect Behold the God I hail New Order Dedication begins I hail New Order It is time to reveal the Self I hail New Order I swear to sacrifice myself For passage to the Golden Age Apparent omens I observe And ready to escape this cage Oblation... Oblation transforms into Phoenix rise The Phoenix is my Sign My banner of rebirth Amen, you are the lord of the beginning. Amen, you are the star of the East. Amen, you are the song that sounds far over the water. Amen, you are the beginning and the end. (Excerpt from “LIBER NOVUS”. C.G.Jung) I hail New Order Dedication begins I hail New Order It is time to reveal the Self

I stand before the crowds of slaves Poor bastards thinking they are free I hear the clank of their faith To fabled god of selfish dreams Fake believers The truth I deliver Leading the blind To the end of mankind I sermonize the Word of Truth But they are waiting for the tricks The only food for scant belief Like testimony for the weak Fake believers The truth I deliver Leading the blind To the end of mankind This Spire goes through the worlds The Tree of ten Sephirot Here I crucify myself My mind transmits to outer space They need a wizard not a priest Who turns the water into wine And loosing blood in fight with Beast But in three days returns to life I rise upon the throne of flesh Channeling to another dimension My faith transforming to Will The final stage of procreation The God I have the miracle they worth Hard Iron Hammer of the truth Wide opened eyes becoming curse With lash of fears I am leading forth

In Temple Of Mirrors I see The God All World is reflected perception of mine I draw this illusion by paints of my blood The Will to Create is my vital lifeline Soaring the skies, diving the water Enveloped in flames I felt down to Earth To enter the Gates In Temple of Mirrors I see the flesh It borders my Mind in dimensions of Time Without my thoughts it is only a trash Existence turns it into source of Light In Temple of Mirrors I see the Beast My Mind is a vessel with poison of hate It crawls in my being like a shadow in mist The hand of destruction that is my fate In Temple of Mirrors I see no one My World will exist while I am alive Between Here and Nowhere I'm standing alone All Universe falls from edge of my knife Soaring the skies, diving the water Enveloped in flames I felt down to Earth To enter the Gates

Zero Beyond 03:50
lay basic principle is pain And mental suffering of Word Avoid is get into insane Or go with stream of inner world To die is only way of life Prepare to leave your body soon Your future is a carrion rive Pass through the labyrinths of doom You are living in a realm of Pest The only fate to feed my mind. Without goal, without rest And only fortune is to die You need the haven to escape The glamour selfish lullaby Your ideology was raped So what? Tomorrow You will die! I am not your savior I deny your lies Zero Beyond Zero Beyond I am not your savior I am the King of disguise Your soul is sentenced to erase Defined as virus of mankind Annihilating Death’s embrace For putrid flesh and shallow mind The only guilt is you are brute Eternal life for You is fiction All this for You forbidden fruit Your life is prays to crucifixion! Redemption fails There is no mercy for the blind Baptized by nails Your Heaven is recycling plant

I face the eternity Standing at the end. I see the reality With the eyes of blind. Not someone anymore, Not any one at last, Not on the pass, But The Pass by myself. Not gazing the stars But Shining among. Everything in me And I am in everything I dissapear in light, Two infinities till dawn, Nothing endless exists, Nothing mortal resides. Absorbing the substance, Creating dimensions, Evolving misanthropy, Setback of ambitions. Here and now I'm alone, But time doesn't exist, Natural born Messiah, I invocate my priests. Stars on skies are burning Stars under my skin I see Mind and Flesh Reunion Summoning the Father of God in Me. Here and now I'm alone, But time doesn't exist, Natural born Messiah, I invocate my.. Stars on skies are burning Stars under my skin I see Mind and Flesh Reunion Summoning the Father of God In... Stars on skies are burning Stars under my skin I see Mind and Flesh Reunion Summoning the Father of God

Renaissance 04:13
Total reunion of thoughts I see invasion of clear mind Awaken ghosts of renaissance the key of wisdom lies behind All natural beauty shines again The scripts have risen from the dust And celebration of Insane Is gone away to tecnopast I declorate New Age of Man The renaissance of God in flesh Altar of Pride Will rise again embodiment of plebeian crash All mystics of the human mind Reborn from chaos of the faith doctrines of rotten church denied The only law is might and grace The walls of Babylon rebuilt And towers grow to reach the skies Renewal by supernal wilt After millenium of lies I declorate New Age of Man The renaissance of God in flesh Altar of Pride Will rise again embodiment of plebeian crash Awake! Perceived Divinity of being Which holds the power to create Revolted mind will spread the wings To be the masters is Our fate

Ye look aloft when ye long for exaltation; and I look downward because exalted I am. I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over. I love him who lives to know, and who wants to know so that the overman may live some day. And thus he wants to go under. I love him who loves his virtue, for virtue is the will to go under and an arrow of longing. I love him who casts golden words before his deeds and always does even more than he promises: for he wants to go under. Ye look aloft when ye long for exaltation; and I look downward because exalted I am. I love him who justifies future and redeems past generations: for he wants to perish of the present. I love him whose soul is deep, even in being wounded, and who can perish of a small experience: thus he goes gladly over the bridge. I love him who has a free spirit and a free heart: thus his head is only the entrails of his heart, but his heart drives him to go under. I love all those who are as heavy drops, falling one by one out of the dark cloud that hangs over men: they herald the advent of lightning, and, as heralds, they perish. Ye look aloft when ye long for exaltation; and I look downward because exalted I am. Behold, I am a herald of the lightning and a heavy drop from the cloud; but this lightning is called overman.
