BEING into HAVING

no longer beings,
accumulators.
every last truth,
inherited guidance
enveloped by spectacle,
an autonomous image.
a weapon can’t be raised
against itself
when’d you realize
the joy of the hoard?
the emptiness of want?
the connection of surplus?
extraction,
introspection,
all life feeds
the hungry maw
"submit or die."
embrace this truth:
you cannot escape
from within or without.
every guidebook,
every tool
was written by the enemy,
forged by the fool.
when’d you realize
the joy of pursuit
had become
your real death?
your surrogate birth?
extraction,
introspection,
all life feeds
the hungry maw

HAVING into APPEARING
04:01
|
|

|
take this axe,
split this tree
between molecule and
category.
struck down by thirst
for the real
by an augmented stream.
appearing
alienated,
mediated.
gilded private moments
hammered into replicas.
can't circumvent
the viewfinder
that's implanted
inside your skull.
"that which appears is good,
that which is good appears"
what lies beyond
commodification
is the deep black rot
we hold inside.
so disappear into
formlessness,
disappear into rot.
still, a wretched thing
is squirming in a factory.

ATOMIZING
06:28
|
|

|
"the spectacle is nothing more
than an image of happy unification
surrounded by desolation and fear
at the tranquil center of misery."
separation perfected,
a mesh network of splintered beings.
false consciousnesses connected:
spectators consume with no meaning.
wide area synchronous grid,
a scatter plot cooked up in secret.
a life encapsulated in a
two dimensional blip.
a remote handler collecting
biometrics.
line of best fit
marching in place,
alone and equidistant
atomic units - atomic age
tendril stake interconnection
emerging only to transfer value,
reactionary reproduction
of the only social relation left.
zero day identity hijacking,
lonely meltdowns in
parallel timelines.
embalmed in future proof
cemetery plots,
rotting alone
surrounded by thousands.

GENERALIZING
05:47
|
|
||
|
the body
appears without reply.
hegemonic integration.
we harmonize into
meaningless impotence.
renounce your aberrations.
the body,
it yammers for us.
everyone a cellular member
of a screeching tongue,
howling with no directive.
a decoy,
a false consciousness.
renounce your aberrations.
obedience to the blur of time,
obedience in the time of blur

TRANSFORMING
04:40
|
|
||
|
sheared, grinding
transmission
transforming into curls
of bright stainless and
black oil.
gunmetal blue marshland,
caution tape swamps,
lit by yellow flame.
signals signifying nothing,
creeps in this petty pace,
day upon day.
death’s dusty candle has
finally gone out.
generator combusting the
last cemetery coal.
human oil feeding an array
of neon signs.
self driving big rigs out of the
shenandoah.
low fields, low fences
blot out the miles.
textiles into nests,
predators grazed upon,
deer grow accustomed
to the highway.
boxcars into dens,
incinerators broken down,
perched over holy lands

VIBRATING
04:02
|
|
||
|
volcanic cavalcade rumbles,
vibrating across savannas.
jungles lying flat as the ocean.
with rafts of swords and spears,
unspent nuclear shells
pierce the horizon.
pyroclastic songs
clanging throughout the caldera.
echoes of the dead,
echoes of the dying.
ten city blocks abuzz with music:
sickened glass resonators,
hurdy gurdy loopings,
angle grinder blues.
lava flows where subways
once snaked through ancient
burial sites.
wash your feet in a hot spring.

FLYING
04:18
|
|
||
|
flying on wings of carbon fiber.
hubris.
luxorious downward spiral.
the first life of the new.
the last plane crash.
the sun setting on the years.
the fates surmounted by
growing scorn.
the first life of the new.
the last plane crash.

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well!
