lyrics

Once I thought I dreamt
Of a cartography
Of days yet to come in my life
Where living corpses lined the streets
And aged faces turned to stone.
We took refuge underground,
Served by priests
In aquamarine chambers.
Then I walked along a river
Toward a tower looming
Over valleys less formidable.
I came to its apex alone
A nest overlooking the folds
Lined wall to wall
With maps of the future.

I say that I regret nothing
Yet here is my ledger
With an empty spot
For my former self.

You can have the body of the nightmare visionary.
Drag him around the perimeter
Or hang him in the square.
I don’t care what you do.

Mirror in Darkness
by Serpent Column

supported by 276 fans who also own “Maps of the Future”

What a BEAST of an album. When it comes to blending black metal and mathcore, these guys and Hoplites are the clear leaders of the pack. This album is sheer annihilation of everything in it's path. Pure chaos and destruction. And it is beautiful. Ryan

Kathodos
by Serpent Column

supported by 272 fans who also own “Maps of the Future”

Ultime album de Serpent Column, Kathodos est une perle rare de black metal. Ce qui saute aux yeux, c'est le soin apporté à la dimension technique : Theophonos créé un ensemble d'une cohésion parfaite et utilise des jeux d'échos avec des riffs dévastateurs qui vont et reviennent de manière différente ("Kathodos"/"Anodos", première et septième pistes, etc.). Cet album est en somme un moyen de nous enfermer dans un palais des glaces sur lequel Theophonos tire à coups de boulets de canons. Insane ! Jordan Vauvert
