Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.
Imagine,
a suspended ocean,
riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
All souls have drowned in it,
and now dwell there.
One drop of that ocean is hope,
and the rest is fear.
(Neil)
See em coming
Neon blue eyes
Hear it humming
Fatal disguise
Fear made into form
Each man to his own
Save me don’t wanna die
A key in stone, this unfound door
A way inside
Manipulate, this sense of self
Just close your eyes
And feel the words, we plant inside
It’s me, not you-
-who turned the dial, who brought this on
And guts your name
Reverse the sun, not two but one
Don’t wanna die
It’s me or you, it’s me or you
SOS now they’re coming up from right side
SOS now they’re coming up from behind
SOS now they’re coming up from left side
SOS or we ain’t goin home tonight
(Eden)
...and the rest is fear.

Plini is a one-man project I enjoy the crap out of. Guitar driven, borrowing from jazz and progressive metal without butchering it. Makes you want to take to the skies. Gru guest solos! <3 Instar
Star Ark is delightful, nuanced prog. Skillfully crafted ambience, heavy grooves and full of soaring / furious vocal hooks. Guest drums from Anathema! Check it. Instar
incredible ep and outstanding musichanship, this is really inspiring, the way Istrumental (adj.) play with rhythm is really engaging and I'm loving the slightly more midwest emo vibe on these tracks. Gata Vrangr
