Tracklist

1. Earthborne (09:03)

BORNE AND REBORN
Of the Earth, woven form
SOULBOUND IN ASTRALE
All-devouring
WAYFARING THE GRAND TRISKELION
Go forth, you embodied ancients
2. The Time Given (07:24)

I breathe forth with time aweather
My essence, ever entwined

Time slips away
Sifting through the fingers of fate
Wherefore I follow
Whereby I am
Until never

Cradled in the arms of the All
Thence, I was
Blanketed in cosmic fabric
Hence, I am

Time slips away
Sifting through the fingers of fate
Wherefore I follow
Whereby I am
Until I am given with the returning time
Into the still palms of the ancient hands

Hold!
Hold ever your gift lest will depart
For when the giver arrives
We, too, sift
Our gift regiven
3. Elder (10:30)

Stone on stone
Deathweight
Sinking into Earth
With cracking ribs

Bone scythes the will
Wisdom, the dying gift

One last breath
Exhales, accepts
One last grave stone
It quells and quells
4. Petrified (07:37)

Instrumental
5. Under the Ancients (10:20)

Thousands gaze upon us
Whence heaven meets void
Illuminating our lore

Their wisdom, open
A gift of belonging
As kin of the ancients

All life descends from them
Eternal channel
God within

Weaved in heaven's tapestry
Cloaking us children from the awl
Threading us through
Into All
6. Brave the Tempest (08:00)

Hail shatters through these darkened skies
With ice claws towering in waves

Dark Gods and Goddesses aloft
Bestow your chaos upon this vessel

Amidst chaos, order prevails
True does this brave vessel sail on through

Storm tunnels ward off the horizon
And guide us toward the Eye
Enter into the Eye of the All
7. Return (11:33)

Flesh and Blood
Regalia of Man
Glissades off the bones

In these last rites
The great departure
Soul is torn asunder

Welcome, beautiful death
Usher of worlds
With nothing left to give
One becomes a gift to the All

Return to Earth
Return apart
Return as Earth
Return to All

Return the time
Return the form
Return the breath
Return it all

RETURN (we all)
RETURN (apart)
RETURN (to All)
RETURN (as All)
RETURN (we all)
RETURN (we all)
RETURN (we all)
RETURN (return)

Duration: 01:04:27

“ "Ens Astrale" is a journey into the depths of the soul and beyond the boundaries of our world, embodied in the form of sonic landscapes. The album is steeped in the philosophy of the cyclical nature of existence, a return to origins, and a merging with the cosmic, all-encompassing essence.

Each composition is a chapter unraveling grand themes of life, death, and eternal unity. "Ens Astrale" transports the listener to a realm where ancient forces govern fate, where time slips away like sand through fingers, and where chaos gives way to order. Within these melancholic and epic sounds, seemingly frozen among the stars, lie images of rupture and reunion, mortal fragility, and immortal wisdom.

"Ens Astrale" delves into the connection between humanity and the cosmos, transforming every note into a manifesto of embracing the end as a beginning. Whether through majestic riffs or the whispers of a fading melody, the album invites reflection: we are inseparably bound to the Eternal.

For those ready to plunge into these depths, "Ens Astrale" will become not just a musical experience but a ritual.
