Grunthor This is one sickkkk, trong, stirring, concept album that's also riveting enough to keep you looking forward to what's up next.

The melodic edge to all the tracks keeps them fresh and memorable. Can't talk about the level of technicality since I'm not a musician, but musically this album is a feast and the intensity doesn't drop for even a second.

AOTY Lister for me, easily!

Fave tracks:
• Evolutionary Knowledge
• The Depths Of Consciousness Favorite track: Evolutionary Knowledge.

Taylor Henderson Mystic and melodious, the instruments flow harmoniously while still retaining the complexity you'd expect from tech death. Though at times just a bit low in the mix, the lows and highs are both well done and distributed evenly throughout each track. Virvum seems to be an obvious influence in their sound.

Solipsism 03:27
The conception of reality might be enslaving us
2.
Into the abyss, they were thrown A peculiar recognition Some ideas and echoes, parts of my intellect Simply wasted by the choices I have made in the past But they live, I am certain, that they maintain their state of existence Alternate personas, reflected ideas, mirrored upside down Into a world I cannot see. Are those multiple dimensions crawl into themselves? To shape consciousness and all the things we do not understand Are those choices really form the person I have become? Or are they lost, concretized in similar realities Unexplored constructs Instantly one with the self, and all those mere copies of myself On the edge of existence, trespassing the limitations imposed in this realm The sensations experienced by man Foundations of another world, far away, still so close A sphere of colors circling every interacting substances As shadows revealed presence of the void Creating, assembling into every possible structures Connections between spaces unveiled by the oblivion Altered reality, sculpted by dreams and expectations A voyage through immensity, the impossible formation Sustaining this illusion of perception I have selected only one of those infinite timelines Different reasons of being, Contrasting entities But in contemplation, I rest my tired eyes Those other lives are here, by my side Shadows and reflections Silent and waiting for the discovery To transpose themselves in a unique body Shadows and reflections Silent and waiting for the discovery To transpose themselves in unity Mirroring alternative aspects of myself Are those plural universes, converge into a single one? To constitute consciousness and all the mysteries we observe Different paths I have actually crossed Lived by another self Elementary particles, in all your grandiose secrets Reveal me the truth Who am I really? A transposition of quantum mechanics To this vastness, out of my reach What am I really? Materialization of all decisions I have discarded In those other dimensions, we do not understand Parallel universes, yet to be discovered Reconnecting with my primary composition The absence of distinct boundaries Illusion of truth Elementary particles Is there really a difference between past, present and future So, we are the same being, perpetrating its existence in every moment A paradigm shift So, we are the same being, perpetrating its existence Elementary particles, in all your grandiose secrets Reveal me the truth Reflections of the past and the future Combined in infinite realities A Paradigm Shift Reveal me the truth

Wandering in this vast and infinite valley The dreamer never expected to face the limits of his reality His own consciousness, his own mind Deconstructed in the collapse of time Devoured by the relentless moment Repeating itself in infinite cycles A self-induced salvation, awakened to the unknown The absurdity of all manmade constructs never appealed his concerns The limits imposed by those false illusions, insidious perceptions The concept of being alone in a cellular machine working in symbiosis with nature never seemed realistic for this entity Universal creations blended in the absolute Transitioning to this timeless existence Floating to everlasting knowledge Limitless, Immaterial Eradicate the cognitive mechanism of sensation To concentrate energy in intellectual capabilities Human senses are barriers to supreme cognition Wasted in a cerebral prison Disconnected from the physical world Retracing the path, the development of structured mentality Finally transgressing the human state Within the void, connections beyond imagination The answers would certainly lie in the outer limits of reason forged by experience Above sanity, divine knowledge would reveal to me The key to decipher secrets of singularity Synthesis of those surroundings Emergence of the final form Between the mind and nature Spiritual fusion Convergence, Reconstitution Altered genetic code A necessary degradation Replacing our so-called wisdom with superior learnings Overflowing capacities Reaching the frontier of thoughts, of all possibilities Is this the true world revealing its existence before me? Unknown mechanisms behind the process of creation Of this Structured mentality Transgressing the human state Synthetic thinking, metaphysically growing The answers would certainly lie in the outer limits of reason forged by experience Transcending the limits of thoughts Above sanity, divine knowledge discovered in the altered mind Made prisoners by the self-conceptualization of the universe Thus, the only reason we exist is to transform Energy and matter, Chaos engines We should reform the model Disappearing in our thoughts To conquer all realities Sophisticated brain florescence Beyond the limits of imagination Finally Reaching the frontier of possible thinking Unknown mechanisms behind the process of creation Transgressing the human state All connected, diversity is the continuity of a simple and unique body Through the depths of his own consciousness He realizes that everything is the same

Expansion 04:02
Deconstructed physical structures Development of the mind Eternal salvation, Fragmentation of thoughts The purpose of truth, discovered Through this rearrangement of the world, everything will be simplistic Disruption of existence Altruistic deformity Space-time as a whole, unity prevails Concentrate through this process Every souls and minds of this world More time there is, less mass will be Immaterial, dedicated energy Ethereal Cognizance Through Infinity Procreation of this alteration of life Interconnected through eternity Invisible intellect Abstraction of flesh Inflation of this uniform substance A great return to singularity Transformation of the initial energy A moment separated from the void Where indefinite creations were still to evolve Enslaved to time and space Infinite cycle of birth and death Intrinsic ideas, Abnormal structures within the essence Properties of matter’s changing at an excessive rate Unification of all minds Extensible knowledge Properties of matter’s changing at an excessive rate Unification of all minds The fusion finally completed Losing my life, as a dying star Melting, liquifying Becoming one with my surroundings Those who enter my multiple souls Infinite and singular Incorporated in my gravity Will never be set free Inanimate things Incorporated in my gravity Will never be set free Consciousnesses out of the bodies Floating to nowhere Trying to reach the perfect state Into this pool of voidness Distinct horizons Assembling peculiar structures Intrinsic Ideas Empowered to elevate the state of being ARISE

Time, Now I am Space And beyond those dimensions Adventurous exploration Confined into a lonely mind Reality, ephemeral and subjective Transcending the limits of thought Amongst the gThe approach came from a new language A pattern written in everlasting sentences Shapes, signs and colors Above and below Existence of life itself Connected to the cosmic web The stars that ignite molecular reformulation Remodeling the world Shaping complex identities Cosmic communications allowed me a path to infinity Now I am iants, divine evolvement Elementary processes, design of a god Creation, apocryphal condemnation Finally, free from Occhiolism In this kingdom of reverie Perhaps, I am the only The beauty of creating, fantasy of existing Solipsist, Singular, Master of my own destiny By Introspection I have deduced my realm To procreate alterations Patterns of certitude Ephemeral and subjective Finally, free from Occhiolism Now I am Time, I am Space And beyond Dreams, where the stellar constructs are being made The faces of nascency, inception of worlds I am stardust, children of time Engineering the matter’s complexities Lost into the unknown, obscure falsities Celestial architects, painting with thoughts As dark matter entwined itself in those molecular clouds Astronomical scheme will soon be revealed Revealed Galaxies colliding to form those spiralling shapes Exalting the path of chaos, the geometry of nature Stars burning, nourishment of the cosmos Exploding and forming cryptic structures Existence of life itself Connected to the cosmic web The stars that ignite molecular reformulation Remodeling the world Shaping Complex Identities Inevitable dualities Invented mechanisms Between reality and imagination Behind the existence of the multiverse At the gates of event horizon I am bending infinity The comprehension was wrong, even reality was none We were kept from our true potential Slave to this universal philosophy Inside, we are humans Outside, we are still native

An open book in continual writings A manuscript of ancient times Archaic code sculpted in cellular matter Fragments of knowledge surviving through genetic duplication Never achieved structure of a substance Capable to demonstrate the way to create We are evolution We are the product Consequences of adaptation A transcript of early cognizance progressing through generations We are this assembly, an aggregate of relentless mutations The recipe for an absolute being is maybe written deep in genetic structures Encoding experience within the essence Memories of the ancients forever coded in the core of all cells Transferring heredity through the texture of DNA Genesis of unconscious strategic alterations To discover the real purpose of humankind Is to search deeply inside, Molecular landscape Existence is simply the awakening of genetic, inherited characteristics Given by nature Empowered by the sun Distinctive species encountering the common ancestor Parallel origins exposing an identical message Unfinished creations, a profound desire Expressed by the godly forces Foreign, mysterious conception Delivering the truth, advanced decryption We are evolution We are the product Immature organisms, limited creatures Fundamental ideas, irrelevant existence Natural selection We are evolution. Immature organisms, limited creatures, natural selection We are the product. Fundamental ideas, Irrelevant existence We are evolution We are the product Consequences of adaptation A transcript of early cognizance progressing through generations We are this assembly, an aggregate of relentless mutations Memories of the ancients forever coded inside of us Essential, to discover our true purpose

Negentropy 07:01
Asymmetric molecular physical processes A Condemnation by the inevitable movement of time The penitence emanates from the confinement The obligate perpetuation imposed by nature Eternal prisoners of time Tormented by the obvious Reversing the arrow of time The purpose of all mankind Negentropic, all the matter rearranged Lost between dimensions, Collapsing into nothingness Universal structures have restrained the formation of exquisite forms of organisms Exponential chaos expanding his control, in a ferocious way The progress of existence, interrupted by this temporal oblivion Timeless being, mystical architect The great discovery of creation Decrypting the paradox of irreversibility Imaginative delusion becoming reality Trapped in the mechanics of the universe Bypassing the perpetuated illusion Expanding the deep field of consciousness through eternal beings Eternal beings Life is simply a property of matter malleable at ease Inhabiting a peculiar realm Redesigned abiogenesis correcting the limitations Imposed by cellular ageing Immortality, now in the hands of the creator A subsequent distortion on reality Alternate existence emerged against emptiness The formation, hazardous, created the parallel conceptions Appeared in a singularity Inherent structures disappearing The great collapse, enormous reconstruction Living creatures taking over the physics that dictate nature Evolution of the mind To finally control the reality surrounding us The perception of an inexorable flow, gone for evermore The insatiable growth of entropy, dissipated like dust in the sea The astonishing expansion of the universe, reversed until the singular point Reflections of timeless events Glowing on my everlasting presence Alterations in the process that create all this life More deconstruction leads to a brightest illumination As I recompose, I comprehend the basic laws of nature Controller of time Creator of life The progress of existence, interrupted by this temporal oblivion Decrypting the paradox of irreversibility Controller of time Creator of life Singularity Insurgence of Negentropy

about

Occhiolism means “the awareness of the smallness of your perspective, by which you couldn’t possibly draw any meaningful conclusions at all, about the world or the past or the complexities of culture, because although your life is an epic and unrepeatable anecdote, it still only has a sample size of one, and may end up being the control for a much wilder experiment happening in the next room.” – taken from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

The album explores the unknown, incomprehension in the consciousness and in the dimension of time. Some elements of modern sciences were taken to create fantastic stories questioning the purpose of humans and the foundations of reality, all in a casual way.

With the arrival of Hubert Gagné (Guitar) and Anthony Caron (Vocals), Hatalom defines itself in a more melodic way then its previous EP, Of Sorrow and Human Dust. Some elements from the Black Metal genre were also incorporated in the mix, giving the album a more refined sound, a bit more technical than before.
