Ascension Codes

Advosary One of the most spectacular albums I've heard since Lateralus. Amazing that this came as the output of a person grieving the loss of people whom they built lives and careers together with. The pain yet exuberance of this music is so enlivening, full of need for empathy and sympathy yet also hope and joy in carrying on to be an awakened person and express the highest good. Favorite track: Aurora.

Ralph Rivera A gem. Uplifting. Thrilling. Musicianship that is off the charts and compositions that reveaI something new with every listen. And thank you Mr. Masvidal for the background "Death" vocals of "Mythical Serpents". It warms my Metal heart knowing that you havent forgotten where it all started.

6th Dimensional Archetype I was floating through a beam of light Saw the edge of a ship in the sky Entered through a port from below A crystalline machinery exposed Before my eyes A spacecraft guides Metamorphic shaped Inside a sphere Telepathic teaching Nothing to fear I looked upon them as guardians Protectors of nature train my heart Four beings around my head An evolution of consciousness Like a seed under the Earth A continuum Metamorphic shaped Inside a cube Telepathic teaching Right HemiSync fused Metamorphic shaped Inside a sphere Telepathic teaching Nothing to fear Tomorrow never knows Tomorrow never comes 6th Dimensional Archetype

Dangers on the road I’ll scrutinize the four directions One by one And when I stop to rest I’ll turn my head And look behind My back along the path A sorrowful parting The karmic traces rise like weeds Beat my body bruise my soul But I guess I’ll have to face it Roll up my sleeves and take it No mind here to erase it Aurora A crowded little room You could have the sky But the inner paints the outer world And you’re cozy in your tomb Fatigue a locomotion Adversities a strong potion The demons come to pollinate But I guess I’ll have to face it Roll up my sleeves and take it No walls here to contain it Aurora I guess I’ll have to face it Open my arms embrace it My liberty is patient I’ll step right in and face it Open my heart embrace it No walls here to contain it I guess I’ll have to face it Roll up my sleeves and take it No mind here to erase it Aurora Stargate

Better far for me to die today Than live a long and wretched life However great may be my length of days The face of dying will be the same fight One man dreams He lives a thousand years Of happiness And another dreams Of only suffering But they must both awake On each side in all directions Stirred by every breath of wind In a Multiverse Where Atoms Sing I alone am free He shall be rich in worldly goods Delighting in wealth for years Deprived and stripped as though thieves would We must go naked with empty hands and no fears One man dreams He’s burned alive Beheaded, fed to snakes Another dreams Of a battlefield The bombs drop then he wakes On each side in all directions I will abandon every thought In a Multiverse Where Atoms Sing The light body activates A multiverse where atoms ring I alone am free I Am 4th dimension Cube inside your mind I Am 5th dimension Octahedron guides I Am 6th dimension Star tetrahedron light

about

CYNIC has made its long-awaited return with ‘Ascension Codes,’ the highly anticipated follow up to 2014’s critically acclaimed ‘Kindly Bent to Free Us.’

'Ascension Codes' is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth. It is, throughout its 49 minutes, a vivid and highly cosmic journey into the very core of every impulse this band has ever explored. Its nine main songs are infused with explosions of color and energy, and throughout these compositions are embedded the “codes."

Ascension Codes is a TOTALITY, a dense, must-listen-all-the-way-through experience.
