Forward-moving rhythm patterns paired with vocal diversities from screams, demonic growls to polyrhythmic rap parts lead you through a tale of a man who loses his understanding of what is a good or bad way to help humanity. The forthcoming EP "The Pantheist" first's single “V: Quintessence” heralds a new era for Progressive Metal!

“V: Quintessence” Lyrics:
Beyond the moon, it floats, it connects
Unconditionally
Beyond the moon, it floats, it connects
Unconditionally
Does it stay when you see it from another perspective?
High above us
Does it exist in other dimensions?
Far from home
Looking into the sky, take a bit from it
Be my teacher, oh timeless companion
Help me to understand the 5th
I can save you
Does it stay when you see it from another perspective?
High above us
Does it exist in other dimensions?
Far from home
Climb up the sky above the terrestrial sphere
Following light, the answer is waiting
Tell me what fills the void?
There is an infernal night sky.
Give me the knowledge about the quintessence that lives in me
Beyond the moon, it floats, it connects
Unconditionally
What has guided the light and
Can I see the stars dying
Because of it?
When the clouds are moving,
The blue never changes
...but it keeps teaching me
I'm feeling empty but filled up with darkness
What is it replacing inside of me?
Once again there is a thought, I couldn't explain
But everything around me pushes me to create a base
A fundamental element as a recipe for medicine
The poison next to you is just a part of the experiment
Follow my instructions and stop calling me a nihilist
I'm the alchemist, the next-generation scientist
And I'm feeling it increases chances to heal
When it connects universes, why it is talking to me?
Another part of the metatron cube,
Balancing the elements
(balancing the elements)
A dodecahedron,
Drawn into the book of existence
Another part of the metatron cube,
Balancing the elements
(balancing the elements)
A dodecahedron,
Drawn into the book of existence
