Ocean Gateways reminds me of MA´s god of the emtiness (Obscura actually plays it on their first album retribution) in a good way, because at the same time i hear the unique siyle of Obscura. The part starting at 9.50 for example is incredible. Since two years i try to understand and the only thing i got is that the first half of it is counted 16 and 15, a 31 so to speak (if i got it right). That part is high tech metal!

I think this is the best second wave of techdeath album ever, even better than Epitaph and Onset of Putrefaction, I've never thought I'd say this but it's true, Necrophagist has been a big inspiration for me and a bigger influence than Obscura but this album it's really the absolute peak, maybe it's the more melodic approach to it or the progressive not only harmonic minor kind of soloing that makes it so great, also the clean parts are memorable and unique, I even think it's better than the classic of melodeath Slaughter Of The Soul and other great second wave techdeath albums like The Aura.

5. Prismal Dawn Behind those halls yonder, above the caliginoous enigma Where soul and spirit unite, there lies buried everything I have Where we left the quiet sanctuary that united us on this side To be separated for aeons, enchained in eternity I lost you when I am chased away yet again Yet your feeble remnants adores them I am torn away even from the area of ground that covers you Which was the very last thing I had of you I lost you when I am chased away yet again Yet your mortal remains rest peacefully and purely Whatever part of this earth will retain them Passing the world beyond, I'll be with you This is our heart, our mind, our conscience Our soul no longer belongs to us Returning home to eternal freedom Begin a new course, ennoble our essence In the latter we find one law and one purpose A purpose that can not be from this world Beyond abyss through which blackness shines in Behind those halls, where soul and spirit unite There lies buried everything I have in the Prismal Dawn

3. Ocean Gateways I consider our Earth as a part of the lowest area We live as we were at the bottom of the sea Where nothing is pure and undespoiled Where everything is eaten and eroded Where the grips of externality is unable freely To emerge beyond a certain space of this one Where nothing is pure and undespoiled Where everything is wet and salt Where earth and spirit unite An opposition to the visible A call of the purified souls Emerges beyond, breaks free Deliverance - an acroamatic halo Deprivation - in particular obedience Eclipsed - shackled and torn apart Emptiness - devoid of heart and soul

6. Celestial Spheres The inclination will become naught When a justifiable longing is accorded to it Within the magnitude of the object For the gain of an everlasting truth Amalgamation will be scorned by both When there is a whisper of faith Within the halls of eternity For a wish of silence in the black eclipse Light and vision, day and night, will break free A night like day and a day like night embrace us all Our wishes find their final resting place in us A moonlit night touches our inner being ...and makes a shudder run through our flesh A night like day and a day like night embrace us all Our wishes find their final place When our mind disappears into a sudden Shuddering movement and leaves behind in his soul A painful longing for its survival Light and vision, day and night, will break free

7. Velocity This is the end, where everything finishes What will be revealed in silence This is the end, where each secret disappears Fragrance of the dead, redemption of the weak Those who arise despite ourselves Where the left hand path begins A fragment is pushing through, enforces my memory My mind has been swaying for some time Your sign, suggesting a pale remembrance Where everything finally disappears This is the end, where everything finishes What will be revealed in silence This is the end, where each secret disappears Fragrance of the dead, redemption of the weak Between the worlds, where the one merge with the other through them Where the growth of an external world amalgamate into a spirit truth Where a transition occurs within death and salvation You'll see the whole, the whole of the undivided one At a stage where you'll lead delightful The one that is fallen awaits frightful
