I crawl across the sea of glass i gaze upon the visage of of figures gathered and cloaked in shadowed mass Screams of Torment echo deep inside gathering souls the allied Fathering the great wound flesh symphony is attuned Sharpened points are numbered 9 cryptic law is now aligned all my memories are enshrined the unholy temple of the mind withering thoughts have poisoned me left my eyes blinded cannot close the gate the door is one sided I continue to search in the dark Grasping faded dreams you left your cursed blackened mark a symbol of your schemes Hate now dwells within my icy heart A portrait of my grief destitute soul Must find a way to close the gate I’m still feeding on mistook the lies for fate late to realize the omen I crawl across the sea of glass i gaze upon the visage of of figures gathered and cloaked in shadowed mass Screams of Torment echo deep inside gathering souls the allied Fathering the great wound flesh symphony is attuned Sharpened points are numbered 9 cryptic law is now aligned all my memories are enshrined the unholy temple of the mind

about

Historically, self titled projects are a statement of intent. An indication that what you're about to experience is the purest form of an artist's vision. What we have here presents the listener with more than that: the most personal expulsion of cosmic USBM maestro Myrdin Cerphas’ mind to date.

The debut album of his eponymous orchestration Cerphas, Animus Meus exists somewhere in the otherworldly space between ambient drone like Common Eider King Eider, the black conjurations of Sutekh Hexen, various hints of myriad industrial/electronic atmospheres and the artist’s own idiosyncratic work with prior projects Synodic, Somber Ire and Revelation None. Across nine wretched compositions no punches are pulled as disembodied howls scream agonies into an abyss of his own creation; black metal guitars seethe under immense ambient structures and masterful aural illustrations of lyrical themes that will remain unprinted for a reason - this is a soul laid bare as it burns, and some things are best to remain hidden.

For this isn’t the result of any vision. It’s far from intended as mere entertainment. Cerphas is not only the sound of a man cracking his head open to let all the hate, fear and loathing spill out onto the page, but also splaying his ribs wide apart for the listener to witness as he slowly crushes his own still-beating heart.
