Gazing upon
A spectacular display of objects
It is not what the eye can see
Needed to capture this
Upon it’s arrival
A glowing creation
The mind thrived
To create such a thing
Leaving vibrancy of emotion
The lingering sense of self, present
It is neither what was before
Or shall be
This is infinite
For it is not the illusion
In which we conjure
But only a print of the soul
Let go of all known wrong
Feel the mark of the natures song
Capture the moment
Let it unfold
Behold
This is the sight
Of light
Dans Invicta, Theophonos reprend une formule qu'il maîtrise bien : un black metal furieux s'inspirant de thèmes antiques grecs qui aura vite fait de perdre la personne inattentive. Mais en même temps, il sait comment changer cette formule — et il ne fait vraiment pas semblant — puisque cet album est en grande partie instrumental. Theophonos, en vrai virtuose, a l'audace de créer une ouverture de 14 minutes qui passe comme un ouragan. Comme quoi, le titre de l'album ne ment pas : il est invaincu. Jordan Vauvert
The dissonant bleakness of the first track is less weird and more hypnotic than on the second track. That's why I like it a little more. But both songs together make for an extraordinary experience and a journey to the arhythmically beating heart of darkness. mourner
If “atmospheric black metal” implies majestic comedowns and dramatic dynamics, this powerhouse instead constitutes anti-atmospheric black metal. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 23, 2021
