This Corrosion (Runs Too Deep)

The final track of the "Vanity" Release. The spoken word and mastering was done by Jacob Ware (Eslavement, Psalms).
The intro is an adaptation of a lute piece by Francesco Da Milano. Later known as "Golden City" by a Russian rock band "Aquarium". 

All That Never Was

This track, as the title suggests, is entirely inspired and dedicated to Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece, "Det Sjunde Inseglet" (The Seventh Seal, 1957). Instrumental and bipolar, from an extended, medieval choirs to extreme metal grind at the end.

The Seventh Seal

The Grand Finale of this album.

"Home? 

Brave, you say. 
The bravest thing I've ever done, 
The selfless act of sacrifice. 
But you're not the only one 
Not the first, not the last. 

It seems, 

the pattern's always clear. 
Deny control, I don't exist 
You have no fear. 
Or was it the other way all 

Along (Long) 

Were the days, repetitive emotion 
As a grind, "it's just a phase", you say 
It's true. 
It takes just one of us to break this cycle. 

It takes one step to begin the descent. 
The hanged man is smiling, the hermit is dead. 
One step at the time, but it won't be too long. 
The waters are rising, the ocean is calling you home. 

We're going home. 
We're going home."

Home?

First track from the "Malum In Se" release.

Lyrics:

Under these cracks I see you 
Burn! 
In your convictions, in your stubbornness, in your faith. 
Torn between the contradictions, 
Of fragile sanity, that still remains. 

You slip away, you fade to grey 
You die each night to rise again. 
Like Phoenix from the ashes; 
But I don't even want you to stay. 

The frailty of monolith, 
The vision set in stone; 
I'd like to take your word for it, 
After everything you've done. 

The beauty of this paradox- 
You reach one hand, you hide the claws. 
Is it your heart that bleeds, 
The one that I ripped apart.

In Fide Usque Ad Finem

The second track, "Oblitus Miseria" is written entirely in Latin. There are parts closer to the traditional feel of Doom metal, however I do enjoy working with odd time signatures (5/8), so the middle part might seem a bit progressive for the genre.

Lyrics:
Et rursus aestus terga vertentes . 
Rituali revelat occulta in te . 
Vos estis ex nihilo, et nihil tibi debeo. 
Simplex verum - 
Durissima intelligere. 


Et paulatim te Recurrat astri circulum 
Inlusio salutis, anchora enim cordis 

Simplex verum - 
Durissima intelligere. 
Inlusio salutis, anchora enim cordis. 

Translation: 

And yet again, the tides are turning. 
The ritual reveals the hidden in you. 
From nothing you are, and nothing I owe you. 
The simplest of truths, the hardest to grasp. 

And step after step, you trace the circle. 
The illusion of safety, the anchor for the heart. 

The simplest of truths, the hardest to grasp. 
The illusion of safety, the anchor for the heart.

Senatio Potestatem

The forth song from "Malum In Se" release. 

Lyrics:
"It happens when you shed the light 
On what is meant to be unseen. 
Your thoughts, like scavengers they glide, your words are branding iron on my skin. 

What if I choose to break the stare, 
Will I be brave enough to lift it off the floor? 
And you... 
Will you remain the same, or fade into the fray forever more? 

Your life, a trivial, recollected scenes: 
Unfinished cigarette, a shadow cast upon a wall. 
Another night spent under crushing waves of guilt, 
Another day to swim back to the shore. 

And if you ask yourself again 
the questions I have heard before. 
There is no answer, there has never been, 
An easy way to save yourself... alone."

Solus

"Cogitationes et affectus..." (Thoughts and emotions) is the 5th track on "Malum In Se" release. It's an instrumental track that follows the tendency of the album to start with a slow and quiet contemplation and explode towards the end. Just like our minds move rapidly from rational thought to emotional outbursts.

Cogitationes Et Affectus...

"Pietate Mea" is the 6th track from "Malum in Se" release. Please check the bandcamp page for additional info, lyrics and album download.

The artwork is a sculpture of Gaius Valerius Catullus, and the lyrics is one of his poems. 

Pietate Mea

"Sagacitas Mentis" (Keenness of Mind), is the 7th track from "Malum in Se" release. This song is in English (albeit, Latin name), and it's a fusion of many styles -from djent, through drum & bass and to traditional Black Metal grind in the end.


Sagacitas Mentis (Keenness of Mind)

This stare, it reaches farther than you ever meant to go.
Beware, these claws will reap you apart, but thorns?
Are just for show.

This stasis, you can balance yourself, but you'll never let go of the fear.
You radiate strength in a fortress of glass,
But it's all just thin veneer.

I never said I have any faith in myself... or you.
Underneath it all -you cannot fix the damaged,
They exist for a point of view.

Whatever it takes? You have nothing to give I have not disregarded before. 
Every single day you will battle chimeras
Just. To make. Sure.
I'll say it again -your persistence is futile, to your very final breath.
But why give up? Nothing will be accomplished, even in your death.

And down the spiral you descent, getting closer step-by-step.
The pattern's the same -you do not need my guidance,
You are the map.
I will stay in the shadows, lurk the depths just to see how it ends.
If you ask for advice -nothing's relevant, but you'll still pretend.

Sagacitas Mentis

"Maestus" is my first track to feature cello. As I get more confident with my playing it should be an often occurrence from now on. 

The Latin part is "Veni, Creator Spiritus" from Catholic Compendium.
