Immerse

by Acathexis

DeepBoredom Acathexis & Déhà are back with another four stunning pieces. The first half is as miserable as their first release, especially "Adrift in Endless Tides". But then they alter to a completely different style, you need to listen repeatedly to these 2 tracks and understand this different kind of beauty. They are still one of the best extreme sounds in this epoch.

Dave Aftandilian There is a peace in knowing how little our lives matter to the universe—and, suitably reflected upon, this knowledge out to make humanity much, much humbler. We have to let go of everything—our grasping and self-aggrandizement, our self-pity, our fear—before we can achieve the transcendence of true nonexistence.

delirium trigger Ohh shit! So pumped. My only regret is I didn't pre-order on bandcamp Friday. Their self-titled has been one of my most returned-to albums of the last few years, and this will probably be no different.

In the hand is a trembling pulse that weaved a tempest in the tides of blood and through the piercing rhythm of the heart, yet tired of beating my inner storm was unleashed remaining invisible to others as a silent wind that precedes death. What do the others know? Those who assume calm for silence? What do they know? those who have never dared to look behind the mirror? Those who never turn to look upon themselves those who never found what is not sought those who have never delved among the wreckage of what was thought to be known... When the crime belongs to everyone no culprit can be blamed The deceitful mirror feigning to be full Eternally condemned to show things that never were It shows me standing in the shadows of an empty room As the enigmatic waste In which the red pupils, once in flames, nowadays find shelter drowned in a useless cry In the presence of an irrecoverable absence That writes on the wounds of a body suturing with the needle and thread of words the pain that inflicts the cruelty of the other Who trembles before the existence of the emptiness when death gets bored of playing with me all the mirrors will melt And I will take my steps into the void But will I get rid of you? Or falling into darkness will we become one weaving in a macabre dance the thread of an invisible cloth? Like a farewell letter my eyes look one last time to the world consumed in flames in a fire that cannot touch me I am indifferent to it, I have become used to burning Now the dagger slowly makes its way through the flesh setting loose the imprisoned blood When the crime belongs to everyone no culprit can be blamed

And the dark night swallowed me in its eternal memory of the things that were and those that will be. How can we know how long we have been swimming in a dream that has been regurgitating us since the beginning of time? How long have we been part of this eternal gloomy night? How long have we been shipwrecked in a life that the swaying of the waves turned into a nightmare? This endless ocean which we can't get out of. The useless attempt to reach the shore without knowing we are destined to lose ourselves in the darkness. It drags us to the depths to once again dissolve us into an impersonal shadow feeding on our hopes. An eternal monster devouring our souls and we are nothing but prey wondering about reasons and causes. Looking up at the sky I wonder if I can understand it. Perhaps the answer is whispered in the wind like an almost infinite word being said but it is so long and our life only hears a fragment, thus, unfinished, we will never be able to understand

The Other 09:37
I saw him slowly fading out For years he visited me in dreams Dreams that my memory struggled to erase. Retired into the peace that oblivion confers looking to evade its memory, that follows me like a dark litany Even with the hastened step of the years, each day has lasted an eternity deceiving us in its succession. We are nothing but prisoners, of an infinite trap that we strive to name It doesn't matter anymore Soon we will be gone There is no rush. Closing my eyes, I wake up and passing through that fog that clouds reason I find myself in the other, of whom I only know the small pieces that I recognize in myself In that escaping dance like an endless cycle Who escapes and who pursues? Condemned to never find one another Maybe it's the eternal night that connects us in its emptiness finding in us its expression of pain But the light refuses the stares and the awakening fades into regrets Do you really think your suffering matters to the universe? Look at the sky and tell me if a star has ever wept for you It doesn't matter anymore Soon we will be gone There is no rush. How is one to know if those dreams were nothing but the awakening of the other who dreams of me? Who knows if I'm not the other who begs for death … And I will become one with all, and I will become no one Maybe I have been the other perhaps, I am no more.

The light curtain fell over me and no one will hear the muffled screams That sound will remain inside of me like an echo that tears me apart The last page has been written a long time ago Unaware of it my time has ceased forever I have already taken my last steps on this ground That no one will remember Pain let me go, let go of my hand, let me go once and for all Ashes of memories, memories of ashes all in vain, wiped away eternally erased How much longer will this take, shattering me into pieces the one who wants to leave and the one who lies here dying I will enter that ancient world forbidden to the living While my body keeps fighting futilely trying to hold me back Pain let me go, let go of my hand, let me go once and for all Let me become that slow weary wind that carves the stone ties to life torn to shreds fading as the shadows on a sunset absorbed by the eternal cloud of darkness the extinguished torches do not light the way Pain let me go, let go of my hand, let me go once and for all swallowing me into oblivion forever Let me become that slow weary wind that carves the stone

about

Sometimes in a band's history, there's a moment where the calm comes after the storm – when their first output burns brightly, making itself almost impossible to compete with. To simply repeat it would be a mistake, so it's time to change. A significant change, but not in the core of the music, just a change in tonalities, from harsh to smooth, from pained to beautiful…

This is not the case with Acathexis.

Jake, Dany & Déhà return with their searing style of atmospheric black metal. Like the ebb and flow of the human experience, light-speed blast beats interweave with introspective passages to express a flurry of emotions and energy, with heartrending screams, harsh guitars that veil solemnity, produced triumphantly but with the mark of each member imprinted clearly upon it. They haven’t changed, and they have much more to say with the sound which has become their signature.

Produced between their three studios in Argentina, USA & Belgium, the intercontinental band managed another tour de force with distance and discipline that, 6 years later, makes Acathexis a band that is more than just the coalition of members behind Mare Cognitum, Los Males del Mundo or Silver Knife, but a beast of its own.
