How does it stack up compared to the other albums? My favorite is still Si Momentum... by far.

It's very similar to FAS material. Got a lot of those progressive elements i love so much. It's a split and the other song is also fucking great..

This is one 22 minute song that is completely out of this world. It's chaotic so a bit hard to grasp. I stopped everything and lied down on the bed to listen to it, that's when I started enjoying it. It's perfect in every possible way. I still find new stuff to enjoy about it after hearing it so many times.

Like Dago said this is like FAS and very different from Si Monvmentvm. I wonder what they can possibly do to surprise me next time. Maybe a completely ambient track? I'm convinced that whatever they do i'll love it so I hope they keep experimenting.

Imagine Diabolvs Absconditvs with the progressive elements of FAS, its perfect, and the lyrics are beautiful. I got the booklet scanned in high quality, if anyone wants the pics just ask :)

And if anyone understands the lyrics please explain them to me. My english and my knowledge of the gnostic stuff are obviously not enough to get this.

That would be interesting, maybe we can draw some conclusions, first thing we must asset is: the concept of Katechon.

Are you serious? That picture? The text is so small.

As for the Katechon, it is what is preventing the Antichrist from taking power and by chaining it, the antichrist becomes free to rise. Wiki tells me could either the Church, an angel, God or the Romans. Who knows with DsO, though, it could be something so much deeper.

Don't mock my study group idea.

I was serious. I can read perfectly from the picture, nevertheless, here are the lyrics. Enjoy this thoughtful, deep and bleak stuff. Btw, I've heard the song for the tenth occasion and it gets better every time, one of the sign of a masterpiece :dio:



CHAINING THE KATECHON

"Le verdict ne vient pas d'un coup, le processus lui-méme se transforme petit a petit en verdict."

In a place beyond all resistance
Devouring the roots of the bush of fire
Forsaken even by the crows
The dream of the abortion of Babylon
Shivers
And stuttering words
As mere echoes in the desert
Vanish in those lower spheres
Where same is unknown.

It is a vain earth.
A vision, final, of deceit.
There can be no refuge
In this grotesque liquid flowing
Where shapes melt into each other
Where cause becomes consequence.
To err with the insane
In hostile immensities...
How legitimate is the faith into despair?

A bond of hallowed essence
between all that pulsates:
it is the primeval degradation
the erosion, the crumbling,
the everlasting scission.
It is disturbance and anxiety
As absolutes,
for the world is becoming.
Still, a temple stands
And a star shines.

The slopes slaver pus
Towards the skies and the thorn
Courts the wound.
The sun of dolour shines:
They enter in its brilliance
Those who are divided
With their dazzled mouths.
The eerie ray of exile
Shall be their guide.

Scattered they walk towards
The incestuous womb,
The fertile womb of two
And three and all.
The weight of these bodies
In the shallow waters
Shatters the poise.

There is a tear of fire
In the sky of the worlds.

There is a tear of fire
And your tongue of light
Caressed by the silent leprosy
Of your palate
Whispers about the gulch of lies
The tranquil occupation of agony
The dire liquors of a mass-grave
And the perilous pedagogy of the abyss.

We went to the trough, Lord.
We went bent and convulsed.
We saw blood, Lord. It was glittering.
You dispensed it and we drank it.
We saw your image.
The gap of our eyes and mouths is void.
We went bent and convulsed.
It broke us and dissolved us.

Liable for the core of the origins
There remains a pulsating debt
Radiant in its multiple scissions
It stands between the mother
And her repudiated child
Behind the hand that murders
And amid attempts of reconciliation.
The dispersion of woe on a vain earth
Is done with equity.

The task to be achieved, human vocation
Is to become intensely mortal
Not to shrink back
Before the voices
coming from the gallows tree
A work making increasing sense
By its lack of sense
In the history of times there is
But the truth of bones and dust.

Thinly grinded to white powder
In the mill of fragmentation
You give it to brothers and sisters
The remains of the Oath
Vague echoes of a day of midnight
The advent of that which never was
The coming of a man from the grave.
Still, a temple stands
And a star shines.

Unceasingly, those who can not be one
Exchange their rings
In an arched world
Exhausted by the division
The stale principle of stellar times.
A ford alike
Between the crimson rivers
Carrying along their murky waters
Countless extinct cradles.

Merely a glance ahead
Resonates the wailing of flowers
Under such a suffocating heat
That men entered into gestation:
You hold a palimpsest of dolour
Once forgotten that the fall
Is for all
That death is no channel
Anymore to rejoin the clay
of a fractioned God.

The act of a free man
Connected to the balance of the world
Projects itself into the infinite
But the fracture
Its ontological ballast
The dispersion and the overcoming
Bring a harvest of increasing conflict
A descending spiral of splinters
Lacerating the meridians.

The temple stands
Its walls a prison
For the Katechon
While the plowshare grates
On the crystal hard and vivid tear
And blood pours from the furrows
While the star shines high
No place to cover from
Its rotten light

Ho-
sanna
