The first matter,
The salt of salts,
Celestial water dissolves
The subtlest fluid sustains
The burning of sulphur.
Squaring the circle,
Spirit and matter
Driving the triumphal chariot,
Scattering treasures for the world
Blackening to become whitened,
Transmutation accomplished.
Squaring the circle,
Zero equals two
Aliquem alium intermum, quadratura circuli
The blood of the lion, the eagle's tears,
Result in the stone of millions of years.
Squaring the circle, solve et coagula
Omne superius sicut inferius

Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas, the inner becomes the outer.
In my nekromanteion I summoned a son of smokeless fire.
The rebis transmutates into azoth, the pull of Ahriman is overcome.
Visita interiora terrae rectificandoque invenies occultum lapidem.
In the psychotronic model of reality telluric power is valid.
Harness it, treasure it, in a hypnagogic state of mind.
Trapped in the space-time continuum,
Nympholeptic for the numinous.

I am the unlearned and they can learn from me,
I am shame and I am boldness.
I am the shameless and I am ashamed,
I am knowledge and I am ignorance.
I am falsehood and I am truth,
I am the ruler of my offspring and my power is from them.
Whatever I will happens to me.
What you see outside you, you see inside you,
It's visible and it's your garment.
In my weakness don't forsake me,
Don't be afraid of my power.
I am the knowledge of my inquiry.
I am the one whose image is great
And I am the one who has no image.
I am the first and the last,
I am the utterance of my name.
Nothing is true and everything is permitted in our observer-created universe.
Thought is the sickness of the human mind and knowledge is the reward of action.
Let our every act be towards personal and collective liberation!
Accept nothing, assume nothing.
Always question authority - especially your own.
Matter imprisons the spirit to force it into an effort to free itself.
The instant you speak about a thing, you miss the mark.
Now that I have shed my skin completely,
One true reality alone exists.
Out of the gravity-well of Hiidenvuori rises the crowned Kundalini DNA fire-serpent to the stars.
Its each mirror-like scale the history of a sentinent species.
Making again for the first time its cosmic trip to the all-source.
Ride the snake.

[translated from the Old/Middle Kingdom Egyptian]
CITY OF THE PYRAMIDS
Thine is the land and glory and greatness forever, forsooth. Dua-mutef, Qebeh-senuef, Imseti, Khapi.
Everyone is a star. Behold! A sphere of stars. Great is the great one whose great ones are great.
Thine is the land and glory and greatness forever, forsooth.
I was a barge without a rudder, loaded with woe. Then I was put on the island of Myself by a wave of the Sea of Life.
There I discovered a snake; then I was illuminated. I saw it was a great secret; they will learn his terror is great.
"Behold!", said a voice, "This is Seth, the God of Confusion. Thou art to be a priest of this god and thy name shall be Ni-Khet-Maat."
I spent five days alone and everything belonged to me when I was in solitude.
I learned that life is probably a cycle and the monument of man is his goodness.
This god addressed me friendlily, as I was like a man seized in pitch black. My soul had gone, my body trembled. My heart was no longer in my body.
"Light in extension! No-one is born wise, don't be arrogant about thy knowledge nor trust that thou art one who knoweth."
"Behold, the age of Osiris is over. Hail to thee, Crowned and Conquering Child!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law; love is the law, love under will."
Osiris is a black god.
Then I made my way at night across the desert to the City of Pyramids and Scarlet Woman.
Now I shall truly live, I shall truly exist.
Osiris is a black god.

Aarni Oulu, Finland
Aarni has of course always existed, but the current incarnation's story began in the autumn of 1998 e.v. when M.·.M.·.
suddenly began solitarily developing his vague musical ideas further. He got telepathetic messages from the unicorn dolphin elder of Sirius B, who begged M.·.M.·. to reawaken the ancient Xothian aural technology tradition called 'aarni'.
Soon other dodgy entities joined him. Grok?

Alonside its sister album, Bath is definitely a must-listen for any fan of prog or avant-garde metal. It can go between serene tracks like "The Blue Ghost" or "Geography" to pummeling ones like "They Aren't All Beautiful" and "The Ferryman", and yet the whole album remains incredibly cohesive.

Leaving Your Body Map

You know an album is good when even the interludes are golden. One of the greatest metal albums of its time, and that's saying something.

Sludge is a mood drug for me, and we’re matching up nicely right now. Heathen is at the top of the list in this genre. The last two songs are what I would describe as beautiful torture.

The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between.
