    Recorded during 2020/2021, Beyond the Ethereal Horizon depicts an introspective journey through the omniscient spirit of darkest, most perilous nature. The oppressive and melancholy sentiment within the music can be seen as a dirge for simplicity, a longing for a benevolent liaison between man and wilderness - a longing which ultimately proves to be futile and imprudent. This atmosphere of boiling wrath and deep despair is what truly lies at the core of this album - the inevitable and absolute rejection of simplistic romanticisation of nature and its glorification as a godlike entity. The resulting disillusion of man consequently drives the ever-increasing disdain and contempt towards nature, fuelling his desire to utterly subjugate both wilderness and Gods.
    All of this is meticulously depicted in the artwork, which is meant to illustrate this dark and primeval ruthlessness and overall indifference of these callous forces towards humanity.

lyrics

Aether roars, and throws its fires across the sea.
The kindled horizon alludes to the haven beyond the waves.
The lone soul kept its course along the vale of death,
And follows the birds of spring back to its earthly home.

To roam the sea and the timeless spheres where dead reside.
And the gates release the flow that crushes the mind.
As the scent of the fallen snow echoes in the wind
The psyche wakes, reaching for the deistic light, struggling

To find the all-fulfilling message from beyond.
To grasp its divine lore from deep within the stone.
To writhe under the weight of the sapience so sublime.
To die.

Pontus roars, and throws its fury towards the sky.
The darkened horizon my boon and my tellurian woe.

Hark! The waves revive the songs of war!
As the horrid chants are driven ashore!
And blend with howls first heard back in days of yore!
Behold the astral path - the grandstand of gods!
"And the just man rages in the wild where lions roam."*

*from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: The Argument
by William Blake

That spirit of primal darkness that comes before all thought
