My good blade carves the casques of men,
My tough lance thrusteth sure,
My strength is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart is pure.
The shattering trumpet shrilleth high,
The hard brands shiver on steel,
The splinter'd spear-shafts crack and fly,
The horse and rider reel
Sometime on lonely mountain-meres
I find a magic bark;
I leap aboard: no helmsman steers:
I float till all is dark.
A gentle sound, an awful light!
Three angels bear the Grail:
With folded feet, in stoles of white,
On sleeping wings they sail.
The tempest crackles on the leads,
And, ringing, springs from brand and mail;
But o'er the dark a glory spreads,
And gilds the driving hail.
I leave the plain, I climb the height;
No branchy thicket shelter yields;
But blessed forms in whistling storms
Fly o'er the windy fields.

Civilisation is hooped together, brought
Under a rule, under the semblance of peace
By manifold illusion; but man's life is thought,
And he, despite his terror, cannot cease
Ravening through century after century,
Ravening, raging, and uprooting that he may come
Into the desolation of reality:
Hermits upon Mount Meru or Everest,
Caverned in night under the drifted snow,
Or where that snow and winter's dreadful blast
Beat down upon their naked bodies, know
That day bring round the night, that before dawn
His glory and his monuments are gone.

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian)

Mesarthim ne communique pas de maniΓ¨re directe. The Great Filter est une des trΓ¨s rares exceptions puisque le duo australien utilise le morse au dΓ©but et Γ la fin du morceau et ce n'est sΓ»rement pas Γ nous que ce code est destinΓ©. The Great Filter, c'est une bouteille Γ la mer β ou Γ la Voie LactΓ©e β qui permet Γ Mesarthim de montrer Γ d'Γ©ventuelles formes de vie ce que l'humanitΓ© sait faire de mieux : c'est une Εuvre Γ©pique, plus rapide et agressive, avec un sens du spectacle et du sublime !
