Tender waves caress frail structures of my creation,
I found shelter in these fragile walls,
I walk along these barren plains in solitude,
Protected from all they have, i crave
The microcosmos, my existence,
The impenetrable calm, though lifeless, worthless
Cursed by my creation, please tell me,
Is this my damnation?
The storm instils fear to my core,
A fear of anything meaningful,
A fear of everything pure
For I can only walk within these walls,
Sheltered from the rain,
For I can only walk within these walls,
Though I walk in pain
If I could only cross the borderline,
And set myself free,
But the landscape is foreboding,
These walls will be the death of me
Will the storm corrode this towering divide?
Release me from this cage,
Enslaved internally, I wonder,
Am I trapped eternally?

Sur An Extraconsciouq Lucidity, Jacob Buczarski consolide son style et, par conséquent, cet album se démarque grâce à ses détails. Tout d'abord, la production est un peu plus distante qu'autrefois. La batterie est toujours aussi technique (vraiment, c'est une des plus grandes qualités de Mare Cognitum) mais son aspect mécanique est désormais indiscutable et, en l'occurrence, ça la rend moins terrestre. La guitare est stellaire. Mare Cognitum passe de black metal à black metal atmosphérique ! Jordan Vauvert

It took me far longer than I care to admit to "get" Mare Cognitum. But here we are, all the way at the beginning, where it all started; and what a masterpiece it is. "Ambient" black metal is seriously underselling this album. It is raw, it is brutal, it will not hesitate to eat you alive; and yet it is musical, it is emotional, and it will shelter you with its wings. I often turn to metal when in times of rage, but Mare Cognitum has shown that rage can still be contained and reasoned with. Faith

thanks Fluisteraars! I just love your music. A very good atmosphérique black metal band with experimental/ ambient passage. This album is literally one of my classics in my black metal journey.
The first time I heard this record, I feel scared and no other album make me feel that. Just, I feel like it's probably my favourite black metal album of all time. Continue in that way ! quentin_milcent
