Shadowconscious The shadow that grows deep inside... As I left all those weak human emotions behind... The wretched life-definition of a pragmatic empire... ...Dethroned and bleeding... ...Fallen symbols of apathy! As I walk among the mental corpses of "god's" children... Trapped in a dreamless ghagarious sleep My hallucinations become reality... Sleep on, mankind... ...sleep on... ...And never awake! Implated pictures of the future A golden cage... where the mind decays! Profanced hands writing the book of life... The machinery spreads its soulless chimeras! A etheral shot in the head opens my eyes forever Shadowconscious... evening falls inside... The psychic metamorphosis into a life's-trauma... Returning to the graves of birth Shadowconscious... above the fear... I am the misanthropy... Shadowconscious... dead inside... Between these ruins... my will dominates... In the infinite darkness behind my eyes Shadowconscious... dead inside... Discovered lies... the end of light... In my inner domain... where I step into my... Shadowconscious... dead inside... Over life and death... my will dominates... My visionary eyes are released... Into the shadows of eternity!!! It's not my destiny to be a slave... Humanity is a prison for my spirit And in the cosmic streams of the afterlife... I rise out of the ashes of remembrance They have yes but they can't see... The perfect deception of their ridicilous ideals... The sickness in their heads... On which their transitory dreams depent The dawn of a new life awaits me... The end of all what you've created... And finally all will see my traumatic mind... Appears in the shadows of our own Shattered Dreams A chaotic void overruns me... In the last painful moment... Before I open my eyes for the first time... Before I get born... For what I get born? Dark clouds rising above my inner sky... Life's beginning between ashes and ruins... In the mist before life's dawn... The fear awaits me in the light... The solitude of the afterlife is lost... A new order crawls upon the horizon... Throught this ancient doorstep I fall... fall... Into a existence of mental suffocation! The secret of what's behind all of this... Is buried unter fals gods! Shattered dreams beyond the mystery of birth... Does this life only consists out of ridiculous words... Intelligence of words... A child lost between the lines... My destiny sleeps in the depth of the darkness in my mind... In this labyrinth you've creat for us... My path will be signed! From this point of distant view... Eternity is in my hands... in my mortal hands... Your descendants will be lost... Lost in your senseless life-style!!! Metaphysical A dark passage opens for mee... Through the forgotten temples of religious order Leaving those cities of light behind... Where the sky is to far to see the stars... behind In a neverland's dream... In a neverland's dream... A cold wind blows through my slowed room... Another bizarre kind of possession begins... And again I hear the crying voices of the buried human souls... The dead should be quiet if they have nothing to say! As I close my eyes again... The ancient darkness behind the eyelid... Overruns me with the unveiled eternity The endless quest for a own heaven... Ends always in the cruel abyss of a self-created hell Forever you returning in dogmatic circles... While you try to build your private nirvana Infinity end with the blind acception of a limited reality!!! I remember... it was a long, deep fall... And on the other side of "reality"... I hold the secrets of life in my hands... in my hands... Metaphysical perception... And with the dawn of insanity... A new life-cycle begins... In another reality!!! And when the unknown awakes... You're understanding will fall to ruins... ...Fall to ruins!!! ...And I will be the one... Soulwinter My life faces night the oidu of constructed fear... Mino-protestation is what the light prays Close my eyes and return to the darkness... From which I was unleashed upon these flatfields Fan the voice of the wind above these eternal icelands And the last chapter of this macabre theatre will be written... By my hands!!! Paralysed by abstract illusions... wisdom in the falling of the snow... My worldly flesh turns into slow motion... while I step into the spiritual dimension Where flesh and blood crystallize... reality lost it's meaning forever! Ex mortis - the essential solitude... ex mortis - soulwinter awakes... Nur der tod ist ewig... ewig! Under the shroud I fall asleep... ...sleep forever... In the darkness of this abyss... ...where dreams apear I hear the echoes of human castigation... ...far beyond... Forgotten fragments... ...just ashes under my feet... I've defiled all the ethical idles that you've teached me... The euphoric blindness of a faith without substance In the void of soulwinter's breath... I dance hand in hand with myself... Subconsciously... Where the elements of insanity arise! I remember... ...only death remains... Through forbidden thoughts... ...from a mortal reality... Activate the unknown cells... ...into a timeless dream... I've travelled through the crypts of perception... To saw the downfall of your material immortality Soulwinter - the key to the secrets of life... Soulwinter - the peaceful centre of chaos... Where flesh and blood crystallize... Reality lost it's meaning forever... Life's Torture Infected by the flesh of the mass-virus... Cutted by the stream of normality... The breeding absurdity of the sickness... ...We seek for... ...We seek for... I know it's out there... somewhere... Some kind of fear which I want... I hate... ...Understand?... The betraying safety of mortality!!! Now when she stands naked... out in the fields... Here where the cold wind discovers... The white flesh of a deadborn child I watch as the maggots from the inner below of the human race... Writing my final epitaph with red letters from the innocence I've lost long ago... I've lost long ago Monumentum... in memory... remembrance is knowledge... And knowledge is unclean... wisdom brings understanding... The truth is stronger than the lie, but the moment of victory... Opens the inner wounds... for the life's torture Running from dusk to dawn The sanctuary that heals with pain And in the void I can feel your eyes... Watching me from beyond on my stolen dreams When all differences lost in apathy... You can hide your oceans of violence But in the wasteland on the other side... No secrets could be hidden... ...Hidden anymore... At the point of no return... The hunt reaches level zero The hunted will face the hunter... And I see that... I couldn't change a oneway ticket Behind the walls of sleep... The bells of hopeless doom... Are ringing for my inner funeral Never I could escape from the mirror... Which would always be... ...My fate... ...a part of me...

Astorian Recorded in April 13.-17. 92 at Powerplay Studio / Munich Produced by Traumatic Voyage Engineer: W. Hellman Cover / Photos by C. Albien Logo and paintings by M.E. Astorian Review Traumatic Voyage's music is a bit hard to describe. Something like a weird mix of black, death and doom with a very bad production and vague grunts/singing. It also needs some getting used to, but once you do it's very good and original. I don't actually know anyone else who likes this band, but I hardly know people who have ever heard of them. And that's a bit of a shame, because they really deserve more attention... Rating: 7 out of 10
