11 - Track concept debut album from Yesterday's Saints
It is the story of Satan throughout time: from his desire to usurp the throne of God to his modern infiltration of all mankind, with the indication that everyone on Earth is now a descendant of Satan. The album opens with a flashback: what corresponds chronologically to a third song is actually listed as the first track. The story then resumes from its chronological beginning starting on track 2. The final song alludes to two theories of the universe: the one that asserts we are all a figment of a man's dream; and multi-dimensional membrane theory, where the "Big Bang" was/will be the result of an intersection/collision between our current dimensional membrane and a parallel one. As a result of either theory, whether "the man" waking up or the collision between dimensional membranes, the end of days is the outcome. Time is then reset again by the man falling asleep again or the explosion of another "Big Bang".

lyrics
Exterminate the vipers till you reach the sea carry the crimson cross
A pledge to the deity segregate the masses divided into classes
Conversion by force a holocaust of sorts a fein of the holy to seek out the snake
Strike at the vein dissect it from the corpse sangreale the empire’s living hell
Find it where it thrives and burn it to the ground
Guide me heavens and help me see visions of darkness and light to be
Quatrains of lives in the distance believe
Silent still slow in motion four leaves effortless the ocean silent still slow in motion
Flying high above the sea falling to drown eventide repeats twilight breathes life
Take you will my family my throne my land I’ll take from you your life at my hands
Raise them high on stakes ‘til dawn then let them rot the others be warned
Roast their children the mothers feast as queens
Dissect the mothers their fathers will feed
Silent still slow in motion four leaves effortless the ocean silent still slow in motion
Flying high above the sea falling to drown eventide repeats twilight breathes life
Diabolical machines coarse the earth again tearing at the seems of the afterbirth again
Ready to launch the mother is now in peril despair for naught we sail
To the heavens and beyond we search new beginning a rebirth
A world like ours to reap start over again we seek
The event horizon breathes in the leaves of the clover collapse
Flying high above the sea falling to drown eventide repeats twilight breathes life
The harvest is our to reap pulling out the tares light pieces the veil
Light pierces the veil
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
A truly epic saga told in clean vocals and death growls, wrapped up in death, black, power, and doom metal. There are no defaults here: genres and styles are just tools used to convey the desired mood, and Khemmis interchanges them effortlessly and with purpose. Somehow, it’s incredibly cohesive and compelling. Plus, the artwork is absolutely SICK. 11/10 buying a shirt, or maybe a dozen. Buy this album, then go check out their store before I buy it all… daemoncline
