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

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.
