THOS ÆLLA - Deep Within The Hexevoid, For Seven Aeons Slept

From SERPENT ASCENDING "Hyperborean Folklore" (I, Voidhanger Records 2022)

Music: Jarno Nurmi
Lyrics: Excerpts from the Kalevala (1849) poems XVII and IX: Väinämöinen finds the lost-word and Origin of Iron, translated by John Martin Crawford (1888)

*

Do not walk in thine own virtue
Do not work in thine own power
Walk in strength of thy Creator;
Hidden deep for many ages.

Do not speak in thine own wisdom,
Speak with tongue of mighty Ukko.
In my mouth, if there be sweetness,
It has come from my Creator.

**

From the fire-place calls the old man,
Thus the gray-beard asks the minstrel:
"Tell me who thou art of heroes,
Who of all the great magicians?
Lo! thy blood fills seven sea-boats,
Eight of largest birchen vessels,
Flowing from some hero's veinlets,
From the wounds of some magician.
Other matters I would ask thee;
Sing the cause of this thy trouble”

To the court of all our trouble,
To the highest hill of torture,
To the distant rocks and ledges,
To the evil-bearing mountains,
To the realm of wicked Hiisi.
Thence arose the violation,
Thence arose the first destruction,
Thence came all the evil-doings.

To the caverns of the white-bear,
To the deep abysm of serpents,
To the vales, and swamps, and fenlands,
To the ever-silent waters,
To the hot-springs of the mountains,
To the dead-seas of the Northland,
To the lifeless lakes and rivers,
To the sacred stream and whirlpool:

Evil genius, thee I banish,
Got thee hence, thou horrid monster.

From the neighborhood of wizards,
From the homes of the magicians,
From the eaves of vicious spirits,
From the haunts of fortune-tellers,
From the cabins of the witches,
From Ingratitude's dominions,
From the rocky shoals and quicksands,
From the ground with envy swollen.

***

Thou canst find of words a hundred,
Find a thousand wisdom-sayings,
In the mouth of wise Vipunen,
In the body of the hero;
To the spot I know the foot-path,
To his tomb the magic highway,
Trodden by a host of heroes;
Long the distance thou must travel,
On the sharpened points of needles;
Then a long way thou must journey
On the edges of the broadswords;
Thirdly on the edges of the hatchets.

In a perennial search for new talented artists, the path of I, Voidhanger Records could not but cross that of SARMAT, a formidable New York progressive metal band influenced as much by jazz fusion as by science fiction. And, no imagining the Mahavishnu Orchestra playing Gorguts' repertoire doesn't do SARMAT's style justice... though it's certainly a good place to start.
SARMAT debuts with "Dubious Disk," a special limited edition CD-EP recorded live at Colin Marston's legendary studio, featuring bassist/pianist Steve Blanco of IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT and PAK, and guitarist Oleg Zalman of ARTIFICIAL BRAIN. The CD is accompanied by a 24-minute DVD that captures the entire performance of the band, with the addition of interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
The composition of over 17 minutes that SARMAT has ironically entitled "Dubious Disk" is a live improvisation on the main themes of a track taken from the band's imminent first full-length, "Determined To Strike." What surprises about SARMAT is not only the technical expertise and artistic inventiveness they demonstrate, but above all the fluency with which - despite their young age - they handle extreme metal and jazz fusion so that one does not prevail over the other. A melodic grandeur of cosmic proportions holds everything together, with trumpet, and flugelhorn performed by Cameron Carella embracing scorching riffs of guitars and earth-shaking rhythms of bass and drums.
The future of progressive metal is decidedly in good hands.

COSMIC PUTREFACTION "The Horizons Towards Which Splendour Withers" 12"LP/CD out May 22, 2020 via I, Voidhanger Records
Buy: https://metalodyssey.8merch.com/

Lyrics:

Lost in his silence, where the most malevolent threats lurk around, all of a sudden the pride became despair. Then, when he was caught by a sense of inexorable defeat before that boundless unknown, an impetuous spiral enshrouded his body, releasing the glooming murk of his telluric shrieks. 

Covered by an obscure blanket, he moved ahead through forests and oceans of feeble dead stars. He was showcasing a bold impavid gait despite being immersed in a baleful aura surrounded by sinister omens, which were looking forward to take shape any moment.

“Adrift for eons, I aim for a perfect silence, vanished in stillness, undone in perfect quiescence.”
