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

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Here I am sitting in misery with the migraine of my life, and I think I've found my cure. Mare Cognitum is not just giving me relief from my suffering; it is giving me energy as the pure and unadulterated rage and fury of Solar Paroxysm is being channelled through my body. I really regret not giving Mare Cognitum a second chance earlier, but I can now live at peace knowing that I'm lucky enough to be able to experience such an exhilarating and majestic masterpiece of brutality and therapy.
