... The Earth now ashes beneath our feet, for far too long we've escaped our own defeat
Our self destructiveness has brought this on us all, Where we built to fall?
A solution lies among the stars, the clocks must be reversed; turn back the hours
To a time when the earth was still at peace
Far from humankind's destructive reach
We are the ones who've brought on this all
Architects of our own downfall
We've been cheating on death for far too long
in the jaws of fate we don't belong
Machines tear holes in the sky; a final chance of survival for humankind
The universe collapses as time rewinds, as we leave the corpse of the earth behind
Through time and space we will rewrite the fate of the human race
It's haunting. It's chaos. It's energy. It's fatigue. It's happiness. It's sadness. It's love. It's hate. This is close to the perfect black metal album for me. Marcello Velasco
The album title is appropriate: this album makes you feel like a cosmic explorer as you approach the edges of our universe. Contemplating taking a leap into a potentially dangerous new universe, you admire the celestial sights but also go through significant introspection to determine whether such an adventure will be worth it. Masterclass ambient progressive metal for the sci-fi/space nerds out there! Challenging Apathy
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
