Anti-Life
[Alan Watts]: the universe is that sort of scheme, it's a trap
it's the thing that gives you hope, to keep you going
but then it grinds you up and then it revives you a little like a master torturer
keeping a person alive in order to experience pain
there is a kind of inverted mystical experience that people occasionally have
where they see the whole universe as this sort of trap
and everything looks crummy
people look as if they're made of plastic and aren't really people but only make-believe people
they're mechanisms
the fundamentally important philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide
now that's the real question, is the game worth the candle
if you think no, then you 'd better commit suicide
that's the logical thing to do
if on the other hand you 're not sure, then you'd better make up your mind
because if you're gonna go on with the game of life and not be sure as to whether it's really worth going on
you 'll make a mess of it
it's like doing something evil, like telling a lie
if you 're gonna tell a lie at all, you have to make it stick
Life really is
not the avoidance of death
death is the avoidance of death
the constant terror of death, the constant putting it off
that is death
what we call life is
fundamentally willingness to die
constant jumping of being into not being

Terraforming

Creation through destruction
Progress through assimilation
Irrelevance of life
We're dominators of the Terra
Re-animators of soils long lost
We're dominators of the Terra
Creation through destruction
Progress through assimilation
Irrelevance of life
We are dominators of the Terra
We're Salvagers of planetary tombs
We are dominators of the Terra
Vampires of resources, Vampires of all that is energy
Vampires of resources, Harvesters of our ingenuity
Survival through expansion
Ignoring
Shaping our fates by action
Erasing any obstruction

The Apophatic
06:31
|
|

You will never be alone
Because you'll never be whole
Divine reality
Will bend
Through negations
Transcend
Vast horizons spin in trance
To the sound of dissonance
Outer searching
Look inside
Aware of nothing
Deaf and blind
Acquisition
Of blank mind
Aware of nothing
Space inside

Arecibo
07:08
|
|
||
Ones, zeros, paint existence
on canvas of silence
solar appraiser ignores
Inequitable, Inequitable auction
On display for millennia
Uncalled for
Humbled
Arecibo
Fake bidders,
Crop circles deride us
Clueless
Arecibo
Light years away
Light years unclaimed
The Hammer never falls
Inequitable auction
Collusion of the hosts
Inequitable auction

Cosmic Domination
08:47
|
|
||
Apex of the triangle
so perfectly set
designed collision
on course
the sign of infinity
on a black ball awaits
cosmic domination
Concealment of fates
Puppets act on ignorance
The hits serve the plan
chaos unravels, all staged
the sign of infinity
on a black ball awaits
cosmic domination
The cue of the fates

Utopia Planitia
09:09
|
|
||
Dry, isolated
in a desert where each grain of sand flies
light years, away
Kept on stargazing
high, fixated that someone stares back
one way mirror
Utopia planitia

kevel Athens, Greece
KEVEL create unconventional yet coherent sonic boulders, extending away from specific
rules/barriers of
the metal sub-genres.
If the 2014 self-released debut “Hz of the Unheard” was
a progressive sludge instrumental album, “Mutatis Mutandis” explores other musical paths, combining post/black metal, progressive elements and spacey soundscapes, introducing also vocals and synths for the first time.
