flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) A very strange and experimental mix of black metal, death metal, and other elements that above all 3else emphasizes a penchant for the avant-garde.

karpsmom Through Mists embraces a blend of intensity and a particular type of vocal "weirdness" I rarely hear now. Musically, reminds me of Bal-Sagoth if they didn't have orchestral elements, and Sturmgeist. Vocally, reminiscent of Cornelius Jakhelln in the 90s in Solefald and his work in G.U.T., and Aldrahn's work in Dødheimsgard. Just genuinely unfettered and willing to explore every facet of voice possible. Very recommended.

The Ride 03:00
Versions of us, paling in the sunlight Everything has changed today This is what I'm going to say A missing taste on my lips Losing it when you move your hips One more look to start the night Heart's flame to set alight Libidinous desires Take me back To the place I want to Be inside Lusting for the taste My hunger can't subside Impulse control, taking it for granted Sweet scent lingers everywhere As I run my fingers through your sultry hair Lusting for the taste My hunger can't subside I'm an open book, take a good look And see what's inside Take this ride To be inside... Lusting for the taste My hunger can't subside Take me back to the place I want to be inside Lusting for the taste My hunger can't subside I'm an open book, take a good look see what's inside, climb on and take the ride

Self reflecting in shattered mirrors empty vessel, carrying promises longing for the improbable Whose to say what it would mean to carry out, what's in my dreams? self reflection, in shattered mirrors empty vessel, carrying the weight of yearning for a twisted fate whisper to me through fractured reflections validate my thoughts for this improbability longing hanging from my every word sorrow filling up the empty spots of my soul Whose to say what it would mean to carry out, what's in my dreams? craving parallel reflections heartache, constant and pure brings me to your shore empty vessel, carrying a dream that he's waking in a digital dream, in these dark reflections tearing my mind apart, making me forget where to start drawing the line, in my subconscious mind I'm brought back here by my own accord afraid of what I'll find Thirsting for a glimmer that reflects back torment only I will know

Light, calling me in the night I feel everything set before me bowing at the feet, of the golden goddess I'll carry your cross As my thoughts repeat, and my mind plays tricks on me visions of the past, things that we had breaking down, into dust, reforming into this cloud I can't see now, anything that was there I just have my mind, calling me through the night I feel everything set forth, and changed in the past I can't decide if it's illusion bowing at the feet, of the golden goddess I'll carry your cross As my thoughts repeat, and my mind plays tricks on me Reward me with your salvation a simple taste, without condemnation we always want, things that cannot be learn to hold what is actually there cast of the masks, or you'll lose yourself the one thing you actually have, with no strings attached bowing at the feet, of the golden goddess I'll carry your cross As my thoughts repeat, and my mind plays tricks on me

ending the ones who defend closing the lidless eye bleeding deep as i keep running out of time find me at the bottom of this lake i can't afford to be fake say it with me now say it with me now! this is where I die, where I stood to fight Alone in the light Fate loves to deny forge my name at the bottom of the list then you ask me why I'm pissed say it with me now say it with me now!! time to die... this is where I die, where I stood to fight Alone in the light Fate loves to deny there is nothing i haven't given for a moment of respite in this swirling tornado that we call life another minute gone, never to come back this is what life brings another moment frozen in time take me by the neck bury deep the nails of yesterday take me by the hand lead me to the gates of consequence another salvation, wasted again this is what I do another hibernation, sleep away mortal life take me by the neck bury deep the nails of yesterday take me by the hand lead me to the gates of consequence take me by the neck bury deep the nails of yesterday take me by the hand lead me to the gates of consequence doesn't even matter, anymore it doesn't even matter anymore, why I've come here or why I'm bleeding on the floor One more trip around the sun who knows where the energy comes from? paying the price for fruition every time I turn around One more trip around the sun who knows where the energy comes from? paying the price for fruition every time I turn around bless this mess, the jokes still ringing in my ears taking everything, whatever's in my head One more trip around the sun who knows where the energy comes from? paying the price for fruition every time I turn around blame myself again, because I bleed the world that I've created dirt stained with their entrails as I rub the ashes of the fallen over my pale body blame myself again, because I bleed the world that I've created dirt stained with their entrails as I rub the ashes of the fallen over my pale body Looking for a way out of my own mind looking for a key of the prison I've made for myself Looking for a way out of my own mind looking for a key of the prison I've made for myself bless this whole world for the mess I left it in permeate the pain I created Looking for a way out of my own mind looking for a key of the prison I've made for myself

about

Through Mists is very excited to share this ep with the world! It feels like a fresh start, as we have wrapped up the long running storyline in the previous album, Summon The Severed, and feel like we can explore different themes in a more elastic sense, without being tied to one particular over arching narrative. It's time to tear out our own insides to be displayed!

Prolific signals both a fresh start thematically, while it does follow up on the increasing aggression that Through Mists has ramped up over the last few releases (Starkiller, Homicidal Hamsters and Summon The Severed). Musically you can expect more focus on guitar and bass, with only one song, the 14 plus minute title track diving into the usual mainstay of adding piano and synth for melodies and ambience. Lyrically, the first 3 songs on Prolific explores the thought of giving yourself over physically, mentally and spiritually to an ideal that may destroy you, while the ending track sums it up as the pursuit of fulfilment through persistence and creation in a material world that is constantly decaying
