1.
Lonesome megalith standing erect like the tallest peak  Tall cenotaphic stone augury for whom they cannot speak  But I (could)...although I have long since died  Under the blackest feathers of mourning ravens  And the rain clouds dehydrated of snowy teardrops— The unknown warrior:  Nameless in eternity;  Beneath the weight of winter, forgotten memories Covered in wilted petals and decomposed autumn leaves  Lonely warrior, in life and death alone in the infinity— Sole stone, standing alone, I, the aforementioned monolith.  [Upon the epitaph:  “Look to the past to build for the future”.] 
2.
Frenzy—raging rapids of blood Through the arteries constricted with blind fury Stronger than the blizzard’s gale whipping the faces of Vikings The berserker Erratic trance as they advance Past modern day Copenhagen Adorning cloaks of skinned boars, bears, or wolves Spirits as raging flames in the subzero.
3.
Blinded by mortality Victim of carnality Dead eyes see no lies There’s truth only in death Because nothing else will be left ¡See no evil See no evil Live on ees Live on ees! Now decomposed— Freed from misery, I suppose? No one truly knows; But I know this: dead eyes see no lies The world has dissipated Succumbed, we have, to the hatred.

5.
The unbound fertility of untouched wilderness Soaked in the sunshine—Gaia’s green dress In the otherwise deserted Arizona plain Two Turkish turkeys seemingly lost on their way [Inquiry: where from you come?] “I came from Ankara without a care”; ‘til Tuesday arrives and the weather could be bared, Settle on down in Tucson, sojourning sons “Give my thanks to the Franks”.
6.
Disembodiment—my soul becomes the serpent Coiling as the mortal coil through which the tongues seep On the Asian minor peninsula Lie these petals of magnolias Who carried from a distance A thought which to plant... The maqam of a madman.
7.
Obtuseness—stubborn idiocy, viewed as sacrosanct Perverted pedagogy cicatrizes the Sisyphean rat race Coercion in the imperfect square maze (The candor of labyrinthine life) Fractal skin crawling with goosebumps The neoplasm that is inhumanity: Ambiguity is the impetus of wrongdoing Two unequal sides of every coin and story Perspectives from the right angles Lost to an acute Machiavellian inequality Like the liar who leads the blind Down the long street of (non-Euclidean) inequities— And calls it paradise.
8.
Resolution? 03:04
Metaplasia... “Man” laughs himself to tears... of his own everlasting, crestfallen misery To form the faceless seas...

about

This full length album is split into two sections:

Tracks 1-4 are stylistically more technical/progressive death metal and grindcore influenced, played on a 9-string electric guitar.

Tracks 5-8 are stylistically more influenced by Anatolian Turkish maqam music and the compositions feature microtonal playing on 5-string fretless bass.

The album was recorded November-December 2019.
