A Timeless Sacred Art
05:25
|

I AM, WE ARE
A Timeless sacred art
There is a spirit hidden
in the darkness
a Divine spark buried
in the darkness of matter
The wholeness of our being
wounded, inferior and unconscious
Stunning cosmic perfection
Our wounds, are indispensible
for the accomplishment
these shadow parts
the timeless dimension of our being
To come to understanding
the Totality of our being
the Wholeness of our being
the Vastness of the Self
Give rise to all creation
the Highest value is to be
found in the Lowest
the Blessing is to be
found in the curse
the Wisdom is to be
found in ignorance
Salvation
scorn and revulsion
Contempt and division
The art has no enemies, except the ignorant
Become accomplished
in the Sacred Art of Alchemy
Connect and conspire
to co-inspire
For I am thou and thou art I
It is a living paradox
It is in the flesh - our flesh
It is clear
It is of the art
It is of the man himself
A Timeless Sacred Art
The deepest blessings are found
in the distressing dark shadows
It is beyond understanding
and thou art lost in the Mystery
Lost in the womb of the mother
the human soul
What nature left imperfect
the art perfects

Titan Souls

MEN BORN FROM THE TITANS' BLOOD
Light, Day, Waking, Life
Darkness, Night, Sleep, Death
Titans and Titanides
as old as the ages
born of Earth and Heaven
the first polarization
the Unifying force
Where did the Titans come?
The body - The Titan
The soul - The Divine
Titans
In six males with six females
As male and female in Unity
Still in unity
Where did the Titans come?
From the deep human
cosmic unconscious
Titans
In six males with six females
Souls of infite passion
Those of the fire
I stand eye to eye with
Those of the fire
The Titans
The Shamans
The High Priests
Where did the Titans go?
It is unknown
Titans
In six males with six females
The primordials, our souls
Still waiting

Ageless
05:10
|
|||
|
Aika, Sielu, Ajaton
The Soul is Ageless
All time is simultaneous
From outside of time
as we know it
Outside of yourself
add time
a reference point
of before and after
no reference point
no time
Ether - Matter - Forever
Outside of time
Beings
from outside
of our time
are we confronting
our Dark Side
ARE WE?

The Uncreated
05:56
|
|||
|
Their world was my world
both Cosmic and Spiritual
The Instinctual
Increatum,
an Uncreated
the Unconscious
Autonomous
an Uncreated
To recognize this universe
is not speaking literally
but,like in a dream
is speaking to us symbolically
Our experience of suffering
Limiting, problematic and reinforcing
Recognize the origin
Transpersonal and archetypal
These shadow parts
Descend into the unconscious
Into the depths of our own darkness
Into the blackness of death
A night sea journey
Like the dragon [uroboros]
A being without beginning or end
The darkness darker than dark
The seed for the future birth
The journey that all of us must take
Our own intrinsic wholeness
A great uncreated mystery
The ungraspable
The virginal mother
The root of itself
And rooted in itself
The arcane substance
The true man
The Self
Suffers
Is tortured
The Uncreated
Transformed (and then)
Rises again.

Where the beginning starts
where the end ends
or are they just the same?
What is the end of the Universe
Is there one?
What if there is no end
Can there be a beginning?
Whatever the truth is
I want to end where I started
I stand at the center of creation
The very origin itself
Is lost in the dim mists of time
You and I we are just two
Invisible specks in the cosmos
But also we are the cosmos.
A singular nowness eternally unfolding
In endlessly
diverse and novel patterns
The true man, The Self
The shaman, Ecstatic techniques
of dreams, of visions and trances
The realm of invisible
Causal reality
The death of the body
Eternal existence
Confer upon the wisdom
Confer upon the power
Confer upon existence
Secular spiritual existence

Surrupu
03:36
|
|||
|
When gods were in the ways of men
Records burned in stone
The gods grew discontent
Tired of the incessant noise
The plague
It will come
the Surrupu disease
Where are your gods now?
Make sacrifice
to the plague god
The god of the Plague reigned
The goddess watched and wept
The lungs of the earth
will have room to breath

Magick And Numbers
06:02
|
|||
|
Understand
the significance of Numbers
the whole scheme of Universes
how they function
the Messenger - the Illuminator - Transformation.
Understand
black and white
Composites and primes
the movement of the Zodiac
Through revelations and intuition
to entire planetary octaves
It is of little consequence what they do
Will you remain in occlusion?
Understand
A change is needed
On a societal level
in consciousness
within ourselves
The old ways work no more, things need to go.
0 - Cycles, cycles, cycles
the limitless ALL
1 - The singular I
the individual
the straight path
the line of continuum
2 - Duality and polarity
Two merge to become one
3 - The point of trinity
of fire, action and will
4 - Solidity of form
function - endurance - permanence
5 - the Pentagram
the Elements
Tuli - Vesi - Ilma - Maa - Henki
6 - I have felt the waters of chaos
I have birthed what will flow
7 - The Seven Sacred Vowels
The Seven Major Chakras
The Seven Dragon Queens
8 - This is the point of sacrifice
what I have gathered for myself
I came upon a Path of choosing
held by the Gates of Time
9 - True wisdom
We test our strengths
We refine our weaknesses
the threshold of our glory
10 - The truth of my beginnings
the knowledge of my final end
The All that has been and will be
the Spirit of the Limitless All

Khanus Oulu, Finland
Exploring the boundaries of matter, spirit, consciousness and the universe with the Metal of death as the instrument since MMXV
If you like Khanus, you may also like:

I only discovered IKU-TURSO by a split release with Kalmankantaja and was overwhelmed afterwards by their latest release "Pakana". As the Finnish atmosphere, the piercing guitars and perfect interaction of melodies and harsh black metal thrills me, I ended up putting all releases of this Nordic horde to my collection. I can only recommend doing so, as grand songs like "Bleached Bones in Utter Darkness" should simply be heard by all real black metal enthusiasts!

Now, here we have an exceptionally solid piece of northern pagan metal!! Like early Emperor with a folkish touch, this is too brilliant and well composed to be missed.

Apocalyptic thrash? Check. Fist-pumping hooks? Check. Unquestionable evil? Check. The Norwegians' ferocious new album has it all.
