Lekiwi I'm in awe...and also disheartened that this has flown under the radar for so long. I hope they write a new album soon. This is one of the few albums that comes close to the cinematic perfection that you can find on Xanthochroid's last two albums. More should listen to this if you like extreme prog!

unidual You miss Shadow Gallery? You'd like Green Carnation to go extreme?

Ok, pulling references doesn't do these folks justice, since here the total is more than the sum of the parts.

Stellar discovery! Favorite track: Through the Cosmos II: The Arrival.

spawnofchaos A fantastic experiment, exploring different genre hybrids and pushing the definition of metal and extreme music as a concept. Interesting and musically brilliant. Favorite track: Through the Cosmos II: The Arrival.

Asterisms 08:50
Trees, gnarled they twist Making my way Through this labyrinth of mist Frost to the bone The words of the crone Cruel fates cast upon the stone Tears well inside Grief multiplied Yet my will remains untried Faint light breaks through Hope is renewed Lakeside falls within my view I see waves fall on the shore Mist obscures my sight Barren wastes surround my being Darkness falls at last Stars burn bright to guide my way Ancient wisdom rise Cosmic knowledge come to me For my soul to fly In the dark I see so clearly What I have to do Ride and journey to overcome fate Find the answers before it's too late Arcane knowledge will stave off this doom Find the mystic and shirk off the tomb Rise and search the starlit sky Untold trials and death you'll abide Descend through the depths To the altar, beleaguered and vexed Fight through legions, fight for your life Find the gateway through toil and strife You will find the key Through boundless sorrow and deep misery You will be set free At the end I come to find I cannot change This final sea It will rise It will fall As will I As will all Fall All shall fall

THE OBSERVER: Fire rains from the sky As the heavens scorch the earth I hear voices cry As the mountains tumble down THE ASCENDANT: Hiding from the bitter truth Even death will come to you THE DEAD GOD: Gathering the wicked As the wheat fall from the tares All the chaff shall burn As they see my righteousness Sunlight shall be darkened As the moon turns into blood Stars fall from the heavens As my judgment sweeps the earth THE ASCENDANT: Pass through the veil That now darkens your sight Stars hold the key No dead god could create Expanding Dust Mother Nebula We have come forth To transcend mythology We will stand strong To defeat the odds Freed from all chains Reason guides our destiny THE OBSERVER: Fire rains from the sky Seas turn into blood Mountains tumble down Judgment All shall die

We try to begin again But reach the same end When we try to come clean again The scars won't mend Looking up to the sky I see where we could go When will we overcome The things that bar our path Born from the stars We were meant to break free From the chains of our past To arise from the depths We are luminous Forged from light We are radiant Rise take flight

Subterranean 06:36
Rays of light Fall onto my skin But I feel no warmth Lost in the white Once I loved one here But now I'm all alone I turn away From the sun that shines on me Cold dark embrace As the shadows fall I know I won't return Leaves coat the ground Leaving trees stripped bare They shiver in the cold Rocks at my feet As the fog engulfs I leave this life behind Liberation in the darkness My salvation from the sunlight As I crawl into the depths Isolation now bereft How the void consumes my thoughts Wilted form I now am lost Alone I make my way To the cavern, to my grave O, darkness take me I turn away From the sun that shines on me Cold dark embrace As the shadows fall I know I won't return

Lunar Sea 05:00
Stay Stay with me I’m drifting through The darkness all alone So cold Left to suffocate This crushing weight Drowning in the Wreckage of my mind Stay Stay with me This vast expanse holds nothing for me now I fall Through the cosmic sphere I find you here Rescue me from this abyssal night Save me From the void As I fall into the stars Save me From this vast Lunar Sea Stay Stay with me I cannot feel I cannot breathe Longing for Release from binding chains of solitude Stay Stay with me Please keep me warm As light drains from my eyes Please stay with me until the end Save me From the void As I fall into the stars Save me From this vast Lunar Sea

i. Mother Nebula (Instrumental) ii. Expanding Dust (Instrumental) iii. Voyager / Ascension Kept from the truth upon this sphere The scope of my journey now is clear A voyage for meaning is at hand A search for the knowledge to expand Fly beyond the stars To find the key Fly I’ll fly across the sky Through unknown universe Surpass the speed of light Transcend through thought and time I’ll travel through the cosmos Through singularity Through fabric torn asunder This quest shall set me free An unknown world Waiting for the dawn Waiting to find the truth I will prevail I will find the key Fly I’ll fly across the sky Through unknown universe Surpass the speed of light The answers shall be mine iv. Formless Depths So dark All around Waiting for a sun So quiet In the night Waiting for Nothing No light Not a star Is there nothing more? No life No truth I’ve come here for Nothing Behold the void Null formless depths Why At the end I’ve found there's nothing Nothing more No truth No purpose I’ve lost my way Wasted all my thoughts Left them here To die alone v. Path / Return But what if I could find The truth within my mind Could I go on And forge my own way home The truth lies inside my mind Inside I find The will to carry on Hurtling through the boundless depths I've found the strength I’ve found my path Feel the dawn, arise again [Define] Feel the air and breathe again [Define] Define Your meaning in this sphere The truth is inside you Do not fear Break the chains and pass through the veil Ascend through the cosmos to prevail The time has come The time is now Return and flourish Make this vow Feel the dawn, arise again Break the chains and pass through the veil I will return I will prevail I will prevail Prevail! Rise! Stand! Fight! vi. Beyond the Stars Fall I fall across the sky From unknown universe Surpassed the speed of light The answers in my grasp I’ve traveled through the cosmos I’ve finally found the key Embrace that you will die Embrace finality Rise and break from the chains upon thy might Unite under reason, truth, and light Find meaning within, our story begins Ascend! Through the cosmos we will fly! We will fly beyond the stars! Fly beyond the stars To find the key

about

Named Dead Rhetoric's #1 "Sifting Through Bandcamp" Album of 2017, The Innumerable Stars takes the listener on a progressive voyage of discovery. Rooted in the sonic soil of Mellotron-drenched progressive metal acts, Naeramarth explores a variety of progressive spheres. From the frigid and earthy lands of progressive black metal, to the forlorn melancholy of melodic death and doom metal, with a cinematic bombast and theatrical spirit. The Innumerable Stars features the harsh vocals of Paul Black and culminates in the over-16 minute long epic, Through the Cosmos II: The Arrival.

"An album that came out of nowhere and simply stunned with its progressive glory, The Innumerable Stars is an emotive yet cerebral trip. Taking a sound similar to bands like Leprous and bringing it towards more extreme waters (like Dark Tranquillity or Enslaved), the merger of familiar elements into unique territory is exquisite. A clear labor of love (this is a one-man act mind you), Naeramarth shines brighter than many label-backed and highly publicized releases this year. A real diamond in the rough and just a sheer joy to listen to." // Dead Rhetoric
