@thebluepill2713 Milkman by Deerhoof, Where Young Grass Grows by Huun-Huur-Tu, Congratulations by MGMT, Pure Guava by Ween. There are others I've found and enjoyed by those are the ones I ended up really liking. I found one album that was just some guy's static-filled recordings of distant radio signals coming from Japan or something.
Amazing piece of art. Everything here is just perfect. I love so much how in the end it feels like some string instruments(in reality probably keyboard or electronics but who knows) are playing in the background building tension with rhythmic single notes.
This song is often called among the most accessible of DsO's material along with Fiery Serpents; but for some reason this took me a long time to get into. That main riff in the start though is just addictive; it sounds nonsensical at first but then you just can't stop listening to it.
Pure darkness from the heart. Their energy and execution terrified me when I was getting into this. It seemed incomprehensible at first listen, but even then I felt dread and intimidation. My all time favorite

@@gmsiralonne6951 In really simplistic terms, I think its somewhere along the lines of: there's all this bad stuff and people still cry out to God (the temple) even though there is no hope for reconciliation (up for debate). The star could be what leads people to God since a star was the guide to infant Jesus. Again, this is a simplistic take and could also be entirely wrong.
@@buddyrogers2919 That's a good interpretation too! It's my 2nd pick, just because it's talking about the temple still standing and I take that to be referring to God/Christianity. Again, I could be wholly wrong😋
One of my favorite memories is after I drove my brothers to a service project my parents’ church was doing, I blasted this EP to torture my brothers. Considering in the past, I’d mostly play prog metal around them, this had them very shooketh
@@Hrvo182 I wholeheartedly agree, those are the albums I come back to the most by them these days. "Onwards Where Most with Ravin I May Meet" stands among their best works in my opinion.
I was drawn to this band after I saw him wearing a DSO shirt in an interview. I thought if Luc Lemay of all people was giving this band praise, they had to be incredible. Even his praise didn’t do it justice tho
Scrolling through the comments, everyone has a different timestamp as their favorite point. Pretty much sums up how absolutely incredible this giant is.
"HOSANNA" - pure ironic blasphemy. "No place to cover from its rotten light" - the problem of evil is unsolved and no amount of philosophizing and word salad can resolve the issue. The star of course being the representation of the cause of evil in Lucifer who was the "brightest star in the sky". Evil is not the absence of Good but something having its own essence since Evil is not a darkness but a light here. "Still a temple stands and a star shines" - people who still believe in an all merciful God even though the light of the star is apparent to anyone who looks.

I totally heard what you are talking about. Seems to me like a hithat sound, maybe a hithat hit played backwards or distorted or something. Really interesting detail anyway.
The katechon is a word employed by Saint Paul in the 2nd Epistle to the Thessalonians to designate that or the one who restrains the advent of the anomos/the lawless one (the Antichrist). It's an enigmatic figure, there was and still there is a big debate on its exact identification. The more traditional version identifies it with the Roman Empire. A more secularized version simply identifies it with legitimate authority. The way Saint Paul phrases, in the original Greek, the sentences referring to the katechon seems to point to an ambiguous relation between the katechon and the anomos. Since the Antichrist must come before the end, in restraining the Antichrist the katechon also delays the final parousia of Christ and the Last Judgement. Chaining the katechon would then mean to restrain the restrainer. In the lyrics the katechon is emprisoned inside a temple.
by the way, mikko aspa doesn't sing in this band....by the way (again), who is the drummer? is it a drummer? it sounds too human, but why is the drummer unknown?...anyway i will love this band forever
I've loved every single thing that DSO has put out, even the early primitive stuff. But this is the one song/album I just cannot get into. It just doesn't have the same level of quality, imo. It's actually kind of bad/below average imo. Hard to believe this was the same year as Kenose, which was an absolute masterpiece.
This song is brilliant. An attestment to individuality. A fist in the face of tradition. It also ends in an absolutely remarkable way, completely defiling christian culture with Aspa's chantings about man's true nature.
I actually think it's pretty damn good, personally. Takes a little longer to get used to than their other EPs, but still magnificent, unique, chaotic, brilliant work. In any case, this was actually a 2008 release, originally on a split with S.V.E.S.T. whereas Kenose was created in 2005, the same year as Mass Grave Aesthetics and Diabolus Absconditus.
![TOOL - Disposition, Reflection, Triad [REUPLOAD]](/img/n.gif)
I just love how this song skips the typical "20 minute song intro build up" and just jumps right into the chaos.
agreed. full fartedley
Jake Martell Exactly. The music is telling you to buckle up because you're about to go on a fast paced Dantean journey through the underworld.
Same with Paracletus
It’s pretty cool that from a theory perspective the real chaos begins when they slow down
It is known.
Such a ridiculously violent change at 6:44, so masterful, the riffs and composition, not many can top this.
It's referencing minute 18:26 too!
Buying this vinyl without having listened to it at all, just drawn by the amazing cover artwork, was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

1:20 and the following 2 minutes has me in tears man. Cannot hope to put into words...
Finally someone points this out. I'm 1 year too late, but that part is timeless!
it is disturbance, and anxiety, as absolutes what the world is becoming. still, a temple stands and a star shines.
In a place beyond all resistance
Devouring the roots of the bush of fire
Forsaken even by the crows
The dream of the abortion of Babylon shivers
And stuttering words
As mere echoes in the desert
Vanish in those lower spheres
Where shame is unknown.
It is a vain Earth.
A vision, final, of deceit.
There can be no refuge
In this grotesque liquid flowing
Where shapes melt into each other
Where cause becomes consequence.
To err with the insane
In hostile immensities
How legitimate is the faith into despair ?
A bond of hallowed essence
between all that pulsates
it is the primeval degradation
the erosion, the crumbling,
the everlasting scission.
It is disturbance and anxiety
As absolutes,
for the world is becoming.
Still, a temple stands
And a star shines.
The slopes slaver pus
Towards the skies and the thorn
Courts the wound.
The sun of dolour shines :
They enter in its brilliance
Those who are divided
With their dazzled mouths,
The eerie ray of exile
Shall be their guide.
Scattered they walk towards
The incestuous womb.
The fertile womb of two
And three and all.
The weight of these bodies
In the shallow waters
Shatters the poise.
There is a tear of fire
In the sky of the worlds.
There is a tear of fire
And your tongue of light
Caressed by the silent leprosy
Of your palate
Whispers about the gulch of lies
The tranquil occupation of agony
The dire liquors of a mass-grave
And the perilous pedagogy of the abyss.
We went to the trough, Lord.
We went bend and convulsed.
We saw blood, Lord. It was glittering.
You dispensed it and we drank it.
We saw your image.
The gap of our eyes and mouths is void.
We went bent and convulsed.
It broke us and dissolved us.
Liable for the core of the origins
There remains a pulsating debt
Radiant in its multiple scissions
It stands between the mother
And her repudiated child
Behind the hand that murders
And amid attempts of reconciliation.
The dispersion of woe on a vain Earth
Is done with equity.
Le verdict ne vient pas d'un coup, le processus lui-même se transforme au fur et à mesure en verdict.
The task to be achieved, human vocation
Is to become intensely mortal
Not to shrink back
Before the voices
coming from the gallows tree
A work making increasing sense
By its lack of sense
In the history of times there is
But the truth of bones and dust.
Thinly grinded to white powder
In the mill of fragmentation
You give it to brothers and sisters
The remains of the Oath
Vague echoes of a day of midnight
The advent of that which never was
The coming of a man from the grave.
Still a temple stands
And a star shines.
Unceasingly, those who can not be one
Exchange their rings
In an arched world
Exhausted by the division
The stale principle of stellar times.
A ford alike
Between the crimson rivers
Carrying along their murky waters
Countless extinct cradles.
Merely a glance ahead
Resonates the wailing of flowers
Under such a suffocating heat
That men entered into gestation
You hold a palimpsest of dolour
Once forgotten that the fall
Is our fall.
That death is no channel
Anymore to rejoin the clay
of a fractioned God.
The act of a free man
Connected to the balance of the world
Projects itself into the infinite
But the fracture
Its ontological ballast
The dispersion and the overcoming
Bring a harvest of increasing conflict
A descending spiral of splinters
Lacerating the meridians.
The temple stands
Its walls a prison
For the Katechon
While the plowshare grates
On the crystal hard and vivid tear
And blood pours from the furrows
While the star shines high
No place to cover from
Its rotten light

In the history of times there is but the truth of bones and dust
Can anyone give me a lucid definition of the word Katechon? Google doesn't seem to explain it well
The katechon is a word employed by Saint Paul in the 2nd Epistle to the Thessalonians to designate that or the one who restrains the advent of the anomos/the lawless one (the Antichrist). It's an enigmatic figure, there was and still there is a big debate on its exact identification. The more traditional version identifies it with the Roman Empire. A more secularized version simply identifies it with legitimate authority.
The way Saint Paul phrases, in the original Greek, the sentences referring to the katechon seems to point to an ambiguous relation between the katechon and the anomos. Since the Antichrist must come before the end, in restraining the Antichrist the katechon also delays the final parousia of Christ and the Last Judgement. Chaining the katechon would then mean to restrain the restrainer. In the lyrics the katechon is emprisoned inside a temple.
