The Searing Eye

The searing eye of the two horned moon
The chalice fills for the last king,
Thoughts of the anxious dead night
Disgusted, a leaper of this sickness
Raise your glass, fill your insides
A revelation of euphoria
Deceive, with ignorance
To blind us eternally
Quench your thirst of self-loathing,
Hear your call
Between silver linings,
And the divine sanctity in pain
The weight over my dreams
In light I see no shade
Nothing binds me to this realm
Existence remembered with burden
As the glass is raised, the walker sits
For the last king, the sleeper dreams away

Awaken
Truth disguised as dreams
Kaleidoscopic heights
A calling heard, eyes set on gleams
While the mountain is reached
A duty disclosed by the sky
Inner bloodshed must be spilled
Forsaken, the weak
Awaken, what remains within
Truth disguised as dreams
A path bathed in stars
Just above, a grand shadow sees
The portal is open
The great summit
The chimera glances at me
The specter beyond dunes
Thunder and time

Onward to Penumbra
05:16
|
|

|
Oasis entangled in sands
A chimera hindering thoughts
Dragging me towards yesterday
Myself hindering my thoughts
Ascending, crawling towards
The great summit
For earth and stars
Are deceit in disguise
What withers inside the heart
The passing of a doomed path
Inward my mind envisions
Onward, with tunnel vision
Sore feet, close to the end
With existence to set ablaze

“...Consciousness wasting away into the great infinity, nearing the completion of the cycle. Near the great nothing, but not yet done...”.

6. |
|

|
Magma clusters burst
Tremors convulse the earth
Carcasses thrown to the void
Rogue waves cleanse the earth
Conjurer falls
Drenched in salt and faith
To the soil above
Buried and decimated
The elements within
Their only purpose now
To oblivion be fed
Volcanic visions
Flesh becomes one
Ruin burns deep
Sulphur rise
|
||||
7. |
|

|
The great flood sweeps all deceit
Earth's pressure is breaking free
Conjuring from beyond, the vision, she pleads
This fractured land it bleeds
Chalice crushed
Awaken! Monolith! Obsidian! Rise!
The beginning of the end
As colossus, they wake
High tide and sulfur rage
fate of future flesh
Witch's vision, now fulfilled
She pleads for them to carry on
As colossus, they shatter
Poisonous gold dripping
Death chimes vomit
The final transformation
High Tide
Sulphur
High Tide
Rage

A pilgrimage to nowhere (Primal gnosis, away!)
Taken all from me (The odyssey awaits)
These echoes betray (The string of genesis)
From ashes within (Life blooms again)
A pilgrimage to nowhere (Relinquished from pain)
This dismal space (As drifting through naught)
The bright light strayed (Time has a witness)
Free from my flesh (Freed from death)
A shattered prison
With spirits undone
The power held within
Anointed in stars
String of genesis (Thread of creation)
Left behind (In spiraling waves)
Spiraling away
The two horned moon
Perpetual motion ignited
Sacred cosmic husk

PURCHASE VINYL IN THE USA / REST OF THE WORLD:
barrowhoardrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bhr009-a-pilgrimage-to-nowhere
Cognitive Discordance Records, in conspiracy with Barrow Hoard Records, is proud to announce their seventh release, the sophomore album from Costa Rican Sludge/Doom/Post-Metal act Age of the Wolf, titled “A Pilgrimage to Nowhere”.
A journey of devastation and creation, a thunderous decision that entangles all living things to a dire path. In this new release, the band embarks in a conceptual adventure along with the album's protagonist, into an introspective journey, which leaves you with heavy, raw, and nostalgic feelings, all with the expected experimentation and psychedelia the band delivers.
This release will have a 140 Gram Black Vinyl, two-panel lyric and art insert, black inner sleeves, band and label stickers, download card in a polywrap bag.
"This Costa Rican sludge quartet sound darker than ever. Amid the rolling grooves, burly growls and resin-stained riffs is a more pensive and atmospheric vibe, which the band wear well."
- Metal Hammer UK, May 2023 -
"With another massive record under their belt, AGE OF THE WOLF have once again pummelled a fresh sense of excitement into the doom scene. Perfectly balanced between classic, heavy metal style doom, psychedelic sludge and contemporary post metal, all tied together in some very clever arrangements, A Pilgrimage To Nowhere is one of the best doom records the year thus far."
- Distorted Sound Magazine, May 2023 -
"The band has eclipsed their debut in every way possible. The music still has the stoner atmosphere to the sludge riffs that move at a doom’s pace but this time around the band goes so much darker. Anything related to the stoner doom/sludge genre isn’t usually known for being dark and deep but there are exceptions to every rule and ‘A Pilgrimage To No Where‘ definitely is."
- Doom Charts, Peroration April & May 2023 -
For fans of: (early) Mastodon, High on Fire, YOB, Inter Arma
Drums & Bass Recorded @ Stereorat Studios.
Guitars, Bass & Vocals Recorded @ Cabin in the Woods Recordings.
Guest Vocals by F. Garcia.
Produced by Age of the Wolf and Jose Rodriguez.
Cover Artwork by Mark Erskine (@erskine.designs).
