Frozen Star Divinization
Mare Cognitum
Frozen in time The shell of a neutron star Collected among The event horizon’s edge Universes connect An edge between two realities Hypersurfaces linked Transforming to codimensions Comingling the traits of paired existences Across a stretch of suspended time Properties pass from one cosmos to the next Macrocosmic aspects replicate and disperse Resplendent emanations Simulacrum transposed New logic is formed Laws of nature transform Time’s anatomy shifts Gravity ceases to exist All constructs All meaning Wiped away In the consummation Transfiguration Divinization Energy disperses Rupturing through the cracks Among the surface Intertwined intrinsic bonds Elements exchanged Through tunneling wormholes Distributing instantly Across the empty expanse Planting the seeds of formations unknown Depictions upon the empty canvas of the cosmos Properties pass from one cosmos to the next Macrocosmic aspects replicate and disperse Resplendent emanations Simulacrum transposed New logic is formed Laws of nature transform Time’s anatomy shifts Gravity ceases to exist All constructs All meaning Wiped away In the consummation Transfiguration Divinization Energy disperses Across the surface This reality is birthed The foundation is laid For creation of future worlds What once was is shattered The shell is cracked and worn To this new reality we submit New logic is formed Laws of nature transform Time’s anatomy shifts Gravity ceases to exist All constructs All meaning Wiped away In the consummation Divinization

From the depths of the outer rim to solid footing of green earth, Solar Paroxysm, cosmic black metal entity Mare Cognitum's fifth album proper, finds itself moving from the impossible to the familiar. Now occupying himself with the failures of humankind over the past epoch, Jacob Buczarski's frustrations with humankind and politics find a new voice through five aggressive, metallic songs.

With a more human focus comes a shift in style -- Mare Cognitum sheds layers of cloudy, nebular atmosphere to reveal the exploding star beneath it. With a musician's flourish and mastery of songcraft and his chosen instruments alike, Solar Paroxysm lifts the veil and reveals the true musicianship which has fueled the Mare Cognitum project since its impetus a decade ago. Now suddenly so outwardly truculent and antagonistic does Mare Cognitum reveal its true essence.

Solar Paroxysm releases March 19th on I, Voidhanger Records (CD, LP [EU]) and Extraconscious Records (LP [US]).
