Whispers and Stardust

A blanket of stars
Millions of suns burning bright
They cast two shadows that move
Two lives will be changed tonight
An ocean parts
And brings forth dry ground
It opens a path to the past
The circle of life is unwound
A Titan shudders
And now they remember
They fall apart together
Free will: forlorn
Subservient from time immemorial
Their bond has been torn
Humanity: immaterial
Your helix goes on
Through eternity
But can you break free
From your destiny?
A blanket of stars
Shines down on two fleeting shadows
And a third not far behind
With revenge clouding his mind
The Ancient's anger
Will reach out forever
They will suffer together
Free will: forlorn
Subservient from time immemorial
Their bond has been torn
Humanity: immaterial

The Fall of Gellar Elias
13:25
|

|
Poisoned air circulates
and everything is changed
Thousands of frozen years
forever wiped away
As their minds unfold
instincts take hold
In the dark of outer space
two souls hear their psalms
Escape flows through their veins
"What have we become?"
Trying to make sense of this
as their ships gain impetus
Don't run through the dark
Find a way. Assimilate
Impulses: allies
In the dark of outer space
Elias degenerates
Twisted and obsessed
He flies to escape his fate
Watch the sun and reminisce
as his ship gains impetus
Your time has run out
Oblivion: your shadow
Correction: the end

My existence is a lie
And all of you will pay
I know the truth
I've open eyes
I'm not your slave
I'll do what I must
I'll sacrifice you all
What's mine is what's mine
There's no one I trust
It's my call
“I will find my freedom”
We are brothers
You are my family
I'll still find you
You won't get away
or escape your destiny
Keep running Elias
I am right behind
Your trail glows
En aqua veritas
It's time
“I will find you anywhere"

The Funeral Dirge
15:21

Pray, pray for your brothers
They walk alone
Your journey is over
Let us go home
We will go together
Fly, fly with me child
Just close your eyes
Don't fear the darkness
Now is the time
The Cosmos has smiled
Think not of what you have suffered
The pain has gone from you forever
We'll bathe in the icy jets of Enceladus
Then sleep for a while in the arms of the Universe
Think not of your pain, just hear my song
Come back to where you were born from
My tormented love
Can't you hear me singing?
Your time here has ended
A new beginning
In the warmth of the stars above
"Hereafter Elias is no more.
Broken and bloodied he will fly
To a watery grave on the shore
And now, dear brother, we say goodbye".
"May Mother guide him."
"May his spirit find respite."

about
In a different age, there was a planet populated by genetically perfect people. They lived in peace until an accidental discovery, on a distant moon, unearthed an alien weapon that threatened to destroy them all. We are telling their stories.

"I’m impressed. The opening riff in “Whispers and Dust” is an immediate head-grabber, and from there the music pulls you along on a hell of ride that takes you not only through a desert of riff-driven stoner/sludge/doom but also out into the space lanes. The music is both powerfully heavy and densely atmospheric. The crushing riffs are irresistible, the drumwork is explosive, and the vocals are appealingly gritty and thoroughly impassioned."
- Islander, No Clean Singing
---
"Funeral Dirge is the final act, the epic conclusion of Titan’s journey, or perhaps another kind of beginning. The territory, and the sound, in which Antero Sleeps dare to go may be not new or unknown, but that’s not important for me: they are not towed, they are tuning their personal engine, they are telling stories, and I follow them willingly."
- Mortimer Potts, Yours Heavily
---
"This is a band that is perfect for fans of Yob, Neurosis, and early Mastodon. These guys have the music and the concept, and when combined they have something that really can set them apart from the pack."
- Aaron Sullivan, Metal Bandcamp
---
"I have read the lyrics to each song and have to say I’m hooked. As a somewhat writer, storytelling in songs have always given me the warm fuzzies. I was even more pleased to see that the band has full-blown stories written that go help enhance the music and better understand the songs on a whole new level. I have to say I am deeply impressed with this band on every level and eagerly await any new material be it written story or musical."

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme.

Le tocsin n'est pas la cloche de cathédrale dont les harmoniques sublimes font accéder au Royaume de Dieu : c'est une cloche dissonante qui donne l'ordre d'évacuation face à une catastrophe imminente. Tocsin, troisième album de YEAR OF NO LIGHT, ne joue plus sur la dualité : le post-metal du groupe tire sur le doom metal mais reste rapide. Chaque répétition ne fait qu'augmenter un peu plus la pression. Aucune issue et un désespoir total, sous l'indifférence des étoiles. Ce Tocsin est sublime...
