Deep Sea Gigantism
02:34
|
|||
|
Diving deeper
Seeking giants
Crushing blackness
Ancient titan
Drawn out hunter
New definition of most dangerous game
Be careful not to be claimed by your claim
Pressure building
Evolution
Nature’s dark side
No place for man
Strong arms crush life
New definition of most dangerous game
Be careful not to be claimed by your claim
Sinking vessel
Fatal mistake
Entombed in trench
Deep sea demon
All life despised
Death!

Sundertow
06:00
|
|||
|
Ebb and flow
Shift the currents
Tides advance
Ripple, wave
Vortex binds
Eddy stirs
Smother
Endless sea
Depths, unfathomed
Light can’t reach
Chasm
Pressure builds
Power holds you down
As you drown
Life conforms
To the current’s path
Tread the sea
Fight the flow
Swim upstream
Beware
Its malevolence
Hold tight
Don’t be swept away
Here lies
Mighty sundertow

Lungfish
03:51
|
|||
|
Soul lifts, vessel lost
Drift, fall, death’s approach
Lights fade, taken down
Sleep, drown, bring me home
Limbs are still now
Swimming nowhere
Dark seeping in
Bliss takes me now
Lungfish
Rising
Sky comes down to
Meet with water
Now

Ocean's Call
05:58
|
|||
|
Pulled from
black hole
Rise
Breathe
Saviors
Cursed men
Eyes
Plead
Panic gripping their minds
Horizon blurs
Cold waters are parted
Reality distorts
Death, like it rises
Breaching the surface
of memory
Built by ancient ones
Archaic form of madness, lurches forth
I can see the shore through splinters and waves
Blood mixes with water and comes down like rain
A terror of the old world here to ruin the new
I leap from the deck, this will not be my tomb
|
||||
5. |
Common Ancestor
02:51
|
|||
|
Crawl away
Head Down
Cleansed of the animal
Starve the reptile
Face it, and never look away
|

Forest of Eternal Winter

Hypnothermia
06:33
|
|||
|
I feel the roots beneath my feet
Shifting soil as they reach for me
A compost ocean with floating trees
They are calling me back
Grow, Decay, transform
Earth takes what she wants
Return what is not yours
Feed those you’ve fed on
And give them life
The air is made of whispers now
So many words, I cannot hear
I peel the bark and count the rings
A thousand lives in one
Feast on flesh and bone
Breaking down your body into
Earth, absorbs your life
Become one with all around you
Stare deep in my eyes
Know me for you’ve always been my
Son, now take my hand
Do not falter
Do not fear me.
Darkness and frozen trees
closing in on me
but my fear gives me strength
Warm liberation
Now overcomes me, and I see my escape

Copelandia
07:05
|
|||
|
I found my mind beneath the snow
Left trees and Earth behind
Skin of white
Bruises blue
Scattered my soul, to set you free
Sacred shard, come back to me
Follow my familiar frequency
The cygnus arm tears through my soul
As I fight against the tide
Leaves erased
Flee this night
Scattered my soul, to set you free
Sacred shard, come back to me
Follow my familiar frequency
Lost but not afraid
The shepherd abandoned
Death now surrounds me
Moonlight will be my guide
Trees growing legs
Wood shatters and mends again
Caps coursing through me
Time stretching, endless
The forest is burning
Godflesh will ease my pain
Psychotropic fervor
Colors my stained glass brain
Trees growing legs
Wood shatters and mends again
Caps coursing through me
Time stretching, endless
The moon becomes a ball of fire
That burns a hole in the sky
The sun smells too loud
Its voice brings a sting to my eye
Burn these lands
Curse these sounds
Drive these hands
Into the ground
Burn these lands
Curse these sounds
Drive this face
Into the ground

Bees
04:52
|
|||
|
This cannot go on
Hivemind
We are strong as one
Keeper makes his rounds
In our swarm he will drown
Keeper, reaper
Treasure stealer
We will break through
We will break you
We must take from him
Revengence
As he took from us
Keeper makes his rounds
In our swarm he will drown
Family
Now the time has come for us to strike

Demon
Touches down
Search this
Cratered ground
Fury
is unmatched
They can’t
Understand
Why red waters flow
So much like him
Not safe in my skin
Innocence lies bleeding
Shattered by the fist
Of this savage life form
All it knows is hate
All it knows is hate
I reject
my nature
I am not
a beast
I am not a beast (We are all just beasts)

Planet Requiem
07:58
|
|||
|
As our silent planet sleeps out there
Blackened and alone
Strange life travels far from home
Trying to understand
One less drop in a cosmic sea
Our tomb is held aloft by gravity
Shadows of what came before
Our monuments to dirt
They see us for what we are
Alive to spite the earth
One less drop in a cosmic sea
Our tomb is held aloft by gravity
All life
Gone now
Sinking back into the clay
Learn from mistakes
Our past
Has gone to dust
Though we have ceased
Mem’ry lives on this Earth
One voice combined
Seven billion screams
|
||||
13. |
Hypersleep
06:45
|
|||
|
Can’t tell how long that it’s been
Since I left my skin
Eternal movement guides me
Extended from within
I left my shell to orbit the sun
Punch holes in space-time before I’m done
I’ll see it all
What this planet hides
Transcend time
Laws of physics fail
Sever
Silver cord
Project
Sail the void
Shell cast away
Universe is mine
No return
Missions fade away
|
||||
14. |
Photon Wave Collapse
09:01
|
|||
|
I feel the wave
Crashing
I see the path down
Illuminated
Eternal recurrence
Infinite progression
Spiraling end to end
Unwavering traveler
In perfect parallel
Moved to action
By the birth of awareness
To perceive defines existence
Open your third eye
And know the one way down
Ego absconds as you hit the ground
Hope has left you alone for too long
Selfless, eternal, and future-bound
You are coming through in pieces right now
You will carry this load on and on
You will carry this load ‘til it’s gone

Phase Meridian Minneapolis, Minnesota
These boys seek to become the collective "best man," in the wedding of beauty and brutality. They want nothing more than to make it big; if only so they can pool their collective wealth in an insane plot to purchase the elephant man's remains.
Phase Meridian recommends:
The perfect black metal album for people that hate black metal.
go to album
Instrumental prog teeming with life and personality served up with some buttery smooth production.
go to album
Minnesota's best tech-death band. Vertigo inducing riffage that just won't let up.

I’m sitting on the “edge of the horizon” at dusk, jamming out to this album. DAMN, THIS SHIT IS GOOD!!

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
