K. Hungus Lives I am not a super huge fan of atmospheric black metal but this and a few others this year have won me over through sheer grandeur and stunning song writing. Doesn't hurt to pack it with killer riffs and leads, down tuned vocals to match the heavy af weight of the guitars. This one shakes the heavens and chills the soul. Superb. Favorite track: Call of the Ancient One.

I live beneath your thoughts and ego Witnessing all of what you manifest I am the fire in the center of your mind I am the stone sought by the alchemist A messenger of the elder ones Conceivers of your cosmic universe I am no thing, I am not of the flesh But merely the guide of your consciousness Wandering the darkest depths of this world Conjuring my power Summoning the presence of the Void Beyond the manifest world I rest and watch A spirit arousing and evoking your presence Magnified by the torch I bear in my hands Traversing the physical world, guided by my flame divine I stand at the tip of this frozen mountain peak As you traverse the dark horizons down beneath Ever more magnified by the torch I bear in my hands By the fire within which guides you across these treacherous lands Atop the highest mountain peak I sit with torch in hand Sitting upon my hyperborean throne of astral ice Let my light guide you, may it illuminate from afar As you forge your path across this universe of which you soar

Evokation 10:50
Hearken, mighty Ancient One Dweller beyond our abyss Illuminated by the fires of worlds beyond Thee we evoke, Ye most primal star The essence behind all forms Thou who art fleshless Thou who art deathless Thou who dwells beyond the light of the stars Past the furthest reaches of dimensioned space Beyond mortal consciousness where Thou lurk and devour Come forth, mighty Spirit Oh ancient demon imbrued in divinity From the thousandfold nucleus of uncreation Rise forth and awaken in purity For we heard the voices of the precursor world Speaking to us in unknown tongues They told us of our destiny, of our dawn of glory Of our ascent into an age of gnosis and radiance Bless us mighty ancient one We who are reflections of Thy flame Rising from the shadows to consume us all Praise be Thy Name, praise be Thy Name Amen

Whispering prehistoric spirits Upon thrones of astral frost and rime Their hypnotic voices, as loud as thunder, I can hear at this precipice of spacetime Raising my chalice to the towering inferno An embrace of death with open heart A ritual of blood and flame, of human sacrifice To return to the depths of the precursor world The summoning has been fulfilled The arcane precursors awakened Channeled by the dissonant chants Of this holy evokation The gates have opened The portal has formed To devour my soul Forevermore Rising…. Through endless wormholes Falling… Towards an unending singularity Awakening from a century-long slumber A cosmic hibernation An end to this dream masquerading as reality An acausal ascension The closer I ascend towards the kingly realm The clearer I can see, the greater my soul becomes Until my soul is one with the ocean of eternity Formless and void, at one with the source of all life This fate I chose long before My cosmic self was conceived Illumination of the highest magnitude, Forever at one with the ageless uncosmic sea

Separated at birth from Thy un-cosmic womb Cast from Thy heaven, fallen from Thy domain Bound by a vast illusion masquerading as existence By a cosmic creation ensnared, by cosmic tyrants impaired In flesh and bone I have been wrapped To this abysm I have been confined An offspring taken away from its guardian Its cries piercing the silence of all spacetime Wishing for re-unity Screeching in agony I shiver in the darkness of this strange realm Scratching at my birthmask and fleshly prison As a shadowalker upon this world I’m left staring deep into its trenches Magnified by the darkness of the abyss Yearning to become one with its currents Ages have passed yet the emptiness remains No light of this realm has pierced the inner darkness Visions of immortality caress the sorrows of my mind Caught between two opposing worlds, Thy kingdom I shall find I shall ascend beyond matter and flesh Towards the precursor world buried by our cosmos I shall rise to become one with Thee once more And over the ruins of this cosmic dominion I shall soar The memories of Your colossal and mighty presence remain As blurred and obscured as they are My dreams of unity with Thy boundless, ethereal kingdom Fills my hollow soul with love and warmth For it is my fate: to end this life devoid of hope To transcend beyond this realm To reach beyond this mundane world Guided only by the light of elder spirits My epitaph and final word: Into the Void and Far Beyond The longer I live, the stronger the separation The greater the desire to reach beyond mortal consciousness The longer I live, the greater the desire To leave this world behind in search of Your forlorn kingdom Far beyond the Earth, far above the night skies The precursor of this world of matter glows pristine Awaiting its disciples and watching over all An immortal universe obscured and unseen Ruled by an elder king, the god who casts his flame Into the hearts of those who yearn to pierce the Veil It is towards this precursor world my spell is chanted It is towards this kingdom I now forge an endless trail My epitaph and final word: Into the Void and Far Beyond Transcendence beyond this matrix forged of matter and stardust Transcendence to the formless sphere of light, to realms of non-matter To leave a world of tragedy wrought with despair and anguish To leave a meaningless existence in search of Your forlorn kingdom My epitaph and final word: Into the Void and Far Beyond!

about

Void Alchemy presents:
“Beyond Mortal Consciousness” the long-awaited followup to the first demo “At the Eye of the Cosmic Cyclone.”

Musically heavier and more colossal than the band's debut, this demo incorporates many atmospheric and melodic soundscapes accompanied by guitars downtuned to drop B. The demo explores the path of gnosticism, with lyrics that speak of a realm beyond the cosmos; the "precursor world" which predates our existence.

Beyond Mortal Consciousness was an undertaking that took almost a year to fully manifest; a long awaited followup to "At the Eye of the Cosmic Cyclone" (released in December, 2017).
