Darknight Stunning album from start to finish,its a majestic piece of art and so spacey. Pothamus have created the masterpiece of a journey into our souls. Absolutely great album,must have FFO Spaceslug or Slomatics. Favorite track: Raya.

Lorenzo Semeraro I perfectly know my opinion is worth less than zero, but i don't care: this one is my album of the year, its sound comes directly from the bowels of the earth like an earthquake in my stomach, it reflects the materialism of the existence, therefore the only thing it matters.
No track above another, a unique flux of restlessness from the beginning to the end.

Orath 11:08
Orath, Raya. Molding sons of Burr soak through dust and root. Come forth, Ogdoad; Roam through clay and soil; loam to raise and grow, Ādi-Nidāna Svabhāvat. Gap Var Ginnunga, yawning void. Grounded in the bottomless, Anchored in the infinite. Scorch, Orath! Surge, Orath! Flood, Orath! Burst, Orath! Burn, Orath! Blow, Orath! Flow, Orath! Grow, Orath! In this end lies new time In this death lies new life Mounting to ground this depth, One descends in search for land, To make this dust grow into a path. Raya, Orath

Viso 09:26
Gaia; Earth and Sky. You form What has been born, What will be born. From this soil, Form this soul, Form these bones. Embody Raya.

Heravis I 03:14
Become denial Become denial, disbelief I’ll land beside you, I’ll fall beside you, carry me Are you shunning me? I’m getting close now, yield with me I’m getting away, I’m getting close now Bury me

Heravis II 04:35
Aura, let Light in; See, Eyes widened. Heravis / worship Alleve – I’ll be there. Shine, let Light in. Breath, and whiteout. And I will see clear what steers this being Reach, Reach, Reach, Heravis

Raya 16:18
Dismiss time Form nor void Transcends Boundless Rootless root Âdi Tattva Panta rhei Raya; all is now Amūlamūla Chaos Theos Cosmos In (y)our eyes From within the now We reveal the all Far within the now We reveal the all
6.
Varos 04:53
Antarabhāva; Hibernate, I’m awake. Exister / n’existé Abandon this vessel, Discard now; Unnestle. Desert this earthly veil again. Call me Aeon; The Sacred way, The Seven Rays.
