Facepalming Panda Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Favorite track: Timeless Splendor.

sachavonkarl74 I think that all tech death lovers will be huge fans of this album and STORTREGN in general. I mean, my Swiss fellows are touring with Archspire and Inferi, need I say more? Give them a listen, especially this album or the new one. Will be released soon but a few preview (or prehear? 🤪) songs are already available. Very highly recommended!!! From Geneva with love - Stay Tech 🤘🏼🤘🏼 Favorite track: Grand Nexion Abyss.

MarshMelody stellar tech death. gorgeous, but still terrifically dangerous. I STILL can't get lyrical refrains such as "ashes to ashes, DUST TO DUST!" out of my head; and the barks never cease to produce a headbang. Favorite track: Grand Nexion Abyss.

old, weak and frail your body starts to crumble sad and filled with regrets your mind begins to struggle years of torment, of shadows and deceit haunt you to this day nothing can make up for all the lost time nothing left to say cry out to the void! beyond the sun, beyond the stars lie the cosmic plains beyond the light, beyond the night impermanence remains ashes to ashes dust to dust suffering and misery have lead you to live your life in pain now that your light is dying you realise it was all in vain you could have gone the other way but you left your vision behind you should have chosen to turn around tried to save your mind cry out to the void but there shall be no answer the ghosts of your past will haunt you forever
2.
under the great arch where all flesh rots dwell the rancid germs of the Earth cold and dead with their offspring the seeds and the tomb o! moon, o! sun, o! stars! enlighten the path for this soul tonight! trampling the soil with heavy stride the virus cleaves the crypt through the night straight to the old trembling graveyard while forgotten spirits are dying surrounded by shadows this soul now belongs to the past o! moon, o! sun, o! stars! look! stare into the abyss as witnesses of the carnage done in your honor the boundless void will stop quivering
3.
beyond the lightless horizon consuming all things lies an unfathomable catacomb a cemetery for life and death falling through the dark reflections i destroy what i become, i kill what i love architect of deconstruction devourer of worlds an infernal darkness surrounding all trembling stars the adorned abysmal dark creation drifting since the dawn of existence cosmic remnants of a crimson void condemned to oblivion herald of death's construction a stellar genocide all hail the cosmos eater consumer of all laws and illusions the image of true death a flaw in the genesis harbinger of daath's constriction collapse of the universe

our empty gaze scours the night dead hollow worlds fill our eyes light itself dies with the spark letting the night grow from our breath years have passed and centuries followed ancient idols were assailed by time their golden facades have crumbled revealing the absurdity of what we are a black fire burning bright consumes the flesh of our being desolate nucleus lost in a starless darkness decaying in agony, howling in vain from which no one can arise as distant screams assemble together forming new and unknown melodies psalms of nil - hymns of extinction dissipate into the nether
6.
o! cold expending cosmic havoc we are your absurd victims sacrificed to a higher power servant of another truth lost in the haze of your womb see how we amputate ourselves multilayered chaos! while the void grows in us see our heart rotting o! painless slaughterer,
 a wild mating of ferocious beasts
 the pale substance of a world
 at the edge of a multilayered megacosm o! messenger of the other side o! bringer of destiny o! sanctuary of the lost souls o! abyssal vortex of nothingness
7.
carried away by the breath of the wind the cold, the winter in this timeless splendor tree limbs are shaking like a scarecrow attacked by ravens the crust of the trunks crumbling piece by piece farth sinks below the waves of human chaos, captives, under the oppressive grip of a ruthless nature in the most absolute submission, there remains just shells devoid of life even souls will never find rest and shall fall into oblivion the dark forest in its pure quintessence reveals the darkest secrets of gaia beyond the insolence of this delicate nature a massive and quiet strength slumbering beneath the surface

Nénie 06:47
Lyrics : from “Nenie” (1936) by Rene Daumal un soleil inconnu brille dans la poussiere qui vole tout autour de vos cheveux seches, les vents de la folie portent a vos oreilles une musique amere a vous briser les dents. des fleuves remontant a leurs sources jaillissent de vos mains disloquees de vos tempes trouees, et le sol qui vous porte a des lueurs de soufre, se creuse sous pieds et vous mord aux chevilles. votre rire a cree des etoiles nouvelles que nous ne verrons pas, et vous pouvez sourire a de nouveaux oiseaux, a des fleurs impossibles, mais vous vivez derriere un mur de houille et nos yeus saignent, nos prunelles se fendent quand nous voulons vous voir quand nous voulons vous voir avec des regards vides, quand nous ne voulons plus sourire ni sangloter dans le ventre celeste, nos bras tournent grincants dans les chambres de plomb. la nuit de verite nous coupe la parole.
