Density of the Universe

by Thorn Shed

supported by

Tavas667 Not a bad debut EP. Certainly has potential. Good musicianship, solid vocals and interesting guitar leads. I can hear fragments of Gojira here and there which certainly isn't a bad thing. Could be even more interesting if they added some clean vocals here and there (IMHO). Anyway, looking forward to see how this band evolves... Favorite track: Rigidbody.

1.	Lingering Pain 03:22	lyrics	buy track
The strained creature, found in a somber shack, It is torn by uncertainty, The walls whisper hypocrisy, The mind whispers mediocrity, Lingering pain keeps slaughtering the will, Eager to shatter brains, Density of agony breaks my will, No ambition remains! The day is long gone, Crowd resents the truth! The torment’s about to come, The night is to soothe! Lingering pain keeps slaughtering the will, Eager to shatter brains, Density of agony breaks my will, No ambition remains! The struggle is real! Constant fear of being approved, The emptiness consumes all hope, Expectations burn deeply secluded!
2.	Reckoning 07:58	lyrics	buy track
Blank walls, crawl into mind, When you stare back, into the past, Limitation, words like deadly thorns, Agitation, crushes your heart to pieces, pieces! Down in your fractured guts, Unbiased anger smolders inside, Shatter or Embrace, who's to decide, Oppressive nature forces you astray! Initiation! Obedience! Indifference! Humiliation! What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you, All your desires, suppressed to feed the other, What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you! Morbid daemons, feast on your reckoning! The murderous flood, is inevitable... Defiled blood devours to the marrow! The omen stands by your side, Sailing through pieces of sanity! Consume, Efface, Suck-up! No liberty without sin! Produce, overflow, waste! Freedom's hanging on evil monument! Initiation! Obedience! Indifference! Humiliation! What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you, All your desires, suppressed to feed the other, What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you! Morbid daemons, feast on your reckoning! Assailant in the reflection of your fear, Prudently breaks your will, Undermines your beliefs, Seeks for your reckoning, What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you, All your desires, suppressed to feed the other, What you've lost leaves a coarse truth, What you want is always one step further from you! Morbid daemons, feast on your reckoning!
3.	Rigidbody 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Obey the paradigm, example must be set, Sustain yourself through repressive needs, Dull yourself, get lost in greeds, Disappear, hold no regret, Hollow corpses burn with indifference, Determined by their loss, Determined by their deeds, Dismay is governed by the absence, You are the sum of everything you’ve thought, Now you’re broken, You are the sum of everything you’ve brought, Now you’re awoken, Awoken! Nature of despise spreads deep into minds, Flaws bulge out under skin & desire more, False idols whisper sick designs, No deity to keep you ashore. You are the sum of everything you’ve heard, Cut the thread it's all transferred, You are the sum of everything you’ve seen, Cut the thread it's all lies! You are the sum of everything you’ve ever thought, Cast your body away from the poisonous grounds, You are the sum of everything you’ve ever brought, Take your chances and step out of bounds. Precarious gaze towards the unborn, Rigid body arises, its conscious is torn, In the name of freedom, Kill the helpless thought, Affiliations you don't need ‘em, Collapse inside, break the pot!
4.	Agonize 05:29	lyrics	buy track
This world within your body, is ravenous for deception, It absorbs whatever comes in, promising anything but emptiness, Time is running out, reaping the harvest of your deeds, Time is running out, reaping the harvest and sowing again. Each day seems so dull, pushing you down to the ground, The promise of happiness imprinted on your skull, deepens the aged wound, You can’t define what it means, all signs slowly crack your reality, You can’t resist to abandon hope, for you have no belief! I shall be your love, tear your heart out! For the sake of veracity, so, you leave everything and get lost with me! I shall be your agony, slowly watch your failure, The fatigue will take over, dreaded outcome of your decisions awaits! I shall be your death, penetrate the depths of thy soul, Memories loom on the horizon, taking your last weakened breath! I shall be your purge, wipe off all that remains, No man will remember, one more world is crashing down! Do you remember, what it means to dream? Do you regret, falling into the stench of routine? The moment you understand, the despair will take over, Time won’t go reverse, time won’t go reverse! I shall be your love, tear your heart out! For the sake of veracity, so, you leave everything and get lost with me! I shall be your agony, slowly watch your failure, The fatigue will take over, dreaded outcome of your decisions awaits! I shall be your death, penetrate the depths of thy soul, Memories loom on the horizon, taking your last weakened breath! I shall be your purge, wipe off all that remains, No man will remember, one more world is crashing down!

about

"Density of the Universe" is a profound exploration of the dark underbelly of modern society and the human condition. The album delves into the societal issues, showcasing how these problems are furthering the divide between individuals and the collective consciousness. Our music, lyrics, and themes are intricately woven to create a tapestry of despair and introspection. The heavy, groove-laden riffs and bleak tonalities serve as a backdrop for exploring these deep societal and personal issues. Each track not only tells a story but also invites listeners to question and reflect upon their own beliefs, principles, and the society they inhabit. The album is meant to be a stark reminder of the paradoxes and dichotomies that exist within modern society. It questions the illusion of equality and justice propagated by those in power and underscores the widening chasm between the haves and have-nots exacerbated by technology. It is a call to acknowledge and confront these realities, challenging listeners to ponder their role in this complex, ever-changing world.

Beyond The Palest Star
by VORGA

supported by 8 fans who also own “Density of the Universe”

From the first riffs and notes you are entranced by the majestic power of VORGA. Beyond The Palest Star is among the best black metal albums of this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lands at the top for a lot of fans. Get out of their way; album three will no doubt be pantheon level for the genre. The growth from the last release is quite substantial. Cosmic Judgement comes for you! Metallurgical Fire

Let's see...On the plus side: great musical ideas, great arrangements, lots of potential. On the downside: lyrics too cheesy, songs are lacking a bit of length: they always kind of fall short. There are great riffs, but the songs need more development. overall, very interesting: let's see what comes next. 7/10 SEBASTIEN COTE
