Ferenc Somlói just can't believe how good this album is.
listened to it more than 200 times and I still can't get enough of it. You can find small new details every single time. The best thing is that you have the feeling of smashing something with your fists, while you feel that life is good and there so much more to discover. this is how I imagine peaking behind the veile. One of my favorite bands for sure! <3 Favorite track: Immersed in Green.

Hadean 04:13
Barren wastes Which can contain no life Scorching earth Is this worlds only light For I am No god but pocess allmight I am all I am none Everything Everything’s alive I am Telos all’s in my sight For i’m father of high and low Forever i will smother this Hadean glow Swallowing The flames Mountains Arise Rivers flow free Forests burst into bloom Everything’s alive I am Gaia all’s in my sight For I am mother of high and low Forever I will smother this Hadean glow Creatures spawned long ago But this one is of the deities of the sky In the image of gods A being claims my surface for itself I’ve reached my goal Although I fear destructive nature of this kind Blossom
2.
Ape 05:11
Structures towering high I will not succumb to beasts I will not succumb to this Smoke and ashes blotting out the sun and sky I will not succumb to beasts I will not succumb Blinded by supremacy With no fear Is it worthy of my world? Born of sin Driven by lust, by greed, by power Born of apes Perverted ascendancy False idols and pretenders rule it’s path With no compassion Leaving the stench of tar and decay in its wake My children What hast thou done? Is this the fate You have decided upon Your own progress Before all else Before your creator Before your self You defile me, you destroy me Why? Why? Selfish being, greedy being Why? Why do.. For the merit of none but yourself I hold truth I’ve known from the start I must eradicate all men The beginning of the end Is upon the being Unknowingly caused by it self As I march unto forever
3.
The final straw drawn Natural order broken Damage done Irreversible I have seen the disdain of man Followed by hatred, destruction and death I have ached, quaked and I have wept I must end it All Dawn of The last day Of sentience Draws nearer Landmass crumbling Oceans drowning Pest resisting Its demise It withstands Its right to life Right to self Right to deny Everything Obsessively obeying ought but might But light shines brighter than grandeur Light burns brighter than forges Light stabs harder than steel Landmass crumbling Oceans drowning Pest resisting Its Demise It withstands Its right to life Right to self Right to deny Everything I reclaim your right to life Your right to self Your right to exist The last day of man is here
4.
Day breaks As the sun sets for man Reconcile Face your sins Time awaits None but me I am forever Sentience is not Defied me Soon its naught Time awaits None but me They will perish by my hand Or wither away I see the beast cowering in dirt As its life crumbles to dust Bodies stacking Fermenting the earth Seas are freezing over The sky rains sulfur The pest is meeting its demise And as sentience ends A new reign begins Clenching the last sparks of human life Once again I am the sole master of all A new reign begins Life will move onwards But not yours Your time is over The end of man Your sun has set The days of man Is over and done I pay you no ill For I am your creator Your all, your one Your none

I build From rubble and clay From this day Eternally An all engulfing canopy Once more I control the landscapes Vermin eradicated I’ve become free of my aggressor Your extinction my salvation I crack, I break I destroy, I create I am all I am none I am all You are no one Fires for the eons Extinct Lights reflecting lights Cast the shadow of ambition Lights rendering blind Veil the purpose of blossoms From soil you have come To soil you’ve returned My children my nemesis At the last we’re one Your extinction my salvation I crack, I break I destroy, I create I am all I am none I am all You are no one The totality of your being immersed in green

about

Face destroying Blackened Hardcore monsters TELOS present their debut of the same name. Drawing significant influence from contemporary blast merchants Hexis and angular, chaotic riff titans Converge TELOS create their own sound through an alliance of these concepts.

This masterpiece shifts from rushing breathless sections of hasty drums and frantic riff to super aggressive hyperblasting to sudden melodic drops and back again. Coming in at under the 30minute mark this output does an admirable job of exploring the concept presented under the title; TELOS being Greek for 'End', the release follows ideas of environmental collapse, the problems of post-modern society and overpopulation, and plays with ideas of metaphysical beings as metaphors, embodying the eponymous TELOS as a deity-like humanity destroying creature.

Following this almost sci-fi story like structure is refreshingly unusual in this genre and the band pulls it off remarkably well. Their sound is certainly comparable to that of a destruction deity. In short this is a brutally effective release in the blackened hardcore genre that will satisfy anyone looking for their blasting dissonance fix while at the same time offering interest and depth for repeated listens with a strong conceptual leaning and unusual instrumentation.

First released on CD and Digital on 11/11/2016
