Immerse

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.

bmurator Argentine & Belgian & US Black Metal. After the release of Acathexis, these guys can do no wrong as the tracks amply show! I totally agree with Ippocalyptica & have the higest of anticipations! Highly recommended!!!

Ippocalyptica Acathexis dropped the most pleasant surprise of an almost impossibly contradictory melodic and depressive BM album at the end of 2018, and yet as quickly as they materialised, they disappeared. Now they are back, and based on the available two tracks, they are here to wipe the floor with the field. Full thoughts to follow on 20 March.

daparker077 Based on the 2 songs released so far, a bit disappointing, however, nothing could have topped their first album anyway. I'll always listen to whatever these guys put out.

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.
