Into The Voight Deathspell Omega meets Autechre meets Kickback. How can you go wrong with that ?

David Fischer Is Autarkh what I would have expected from the "continuation" of Dodecahedron? Surely not. But was Dodecahedron ever what I had expected? Not in a million years, and that is what makes this mesmerizing. A maddening downward spiral into chaos and atrophy, twisting and writhing in any direction at every possible second. Autarkh delivered a big debut, likely possessed by alienated demons. Favorite track: Introspectrum.

Timbolevium Amazing cacophony of dissonant & industrial powered mayhem interlaced with lovely ambience.

In the grip of a hopeless dilemma, with little indication of the disaster that the future held for us. Focused on the emptiness and worthlessness of it all - an exercise in survival. Many died in various ways. Pierced through all possibilities and plunged into the abyss. Memento mori. What we do unto others, we do unto ourselves. Destructive violent power, greater than ourselves. Potentially everything but physically no thing. Not one prophetic clear view - the talk of God we heard outright repelled us. Devastated and confused by these practices. All eyes forced down. We are prisoners of our own constructs and condemned by our own guilt. There’s no way to graft a new idea on a closed mind. Destructive violent power, greater than ourselves. Potentially everything but physically no thing. The field was responding consistently, but we couldn’t remember why we created all these levels of mind identical to the past. But when it dawned - it was a revelation of a horrendous cyclic nature. We are not punished for our sins, but by them. The falsehearted angel, the demonic destroyer, the clandestine abuser. All of them are real. Destructive violent power, greater than ourselves. Potentially everything but physically no thing. It is time to confront all we so preciously built.

I know that many will still be going down the road of disillusion, degradation and death. Isolation and denial can keep us moving along this downhill path. Unreceptive to a new conception of the fundamental elements that constitute reality. But from the great fall onwards we may be able to discover the principle. Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth. To wade in and work, come hell or high water. To lose track of linear time, and feel the nature of things transform. The energy lowered as a frequency of wave patterns until it appears solid. To change the electromagnetic signature and move into a new line of time. Given a glimpse of the unifying principle through the services of angels and spirits. Given a view on the composition of the physical universe through sharpness and depth of understanding. Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth. To wade in and work, come hell or high water. To lose track of linear time, and feel the nature of things transform. No longer trapped in the ideas gathered from the past. Source and fountain completely enmeshed. To extricate and sense horizons expanding. Mind and matter completely coalesced. Fundamental shifts in understanding. Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth. I must enter as a ‘no body’. I was soon lost to sight, manifesting growth.

ALIGNMENT Words and deeds are aligned. Time and space redefined. Transparent focused mind. No body, no thing, no time. No longer defined by devoid of dimension and vital energy. It is so unlike events that brought us here though they exist simultaneously. This miraculous turnabout is a sign, and more will be revealed. A place of uncertainty is fertile ground in which a deeper truth lies concealed. We cannot expect these things to reveal themselves in an obvious way. I will cause my foot another step and carry the task without fray. Let me thread carefully and try to avoid all vexatiousness to the spirit, in order to create the desired space for the future self I want to inhabit. Words and deeds are aligned. Time and space redefined. Transparent focused mind. No body, no thing, no time. Caught off guard by an event that I observed into physical form. It is reflecting something long forgotten that will now become the norm. Astonished by the inexplicable beauty it allows me to take heart, And behold these ethereal particles organized like perfect art. Elevated by the notion of a true autonomy currently in transference. To live in the realm of the unpredictable is to be all potentials at once. To touch the absolute and align with the divine is how I leave my mark. The balance unspoilt - true government of self - I become the autarch.

about

To misquote Allen Ginsburg "the DODECAHEDRON is broken. But with death comes rebirth." AUTARKH takes a radical approach to their musical assault, consuming the listener with dizzying maelstroms of chaos. ‘Form In Motion’ embodies the word “extreme,” putting forth an intrusive battery of blistering guitars, pummeling drums, spastic math metal salvos and cacophanous electronics that culminates in one of the most robust and daring debut records metal has seen yet.
