lyrics

Oversimplification, cultural infatuation
Foolish dismissal of technological integration

In the face of the future we fold and we cower
A failure to embrace our progress as power

Unrestricted human ambition, is the basis of our evolution
The script of time must flip
To form a new chapter, and not a conclusion

Departure from our passivity
Perceived as adversity
The drive for improvement replaced by futility

Fixation with the obsolete only delays the inevitable
As knowledge built through time is irreversible

The dull and the mundane require automation
To liberate our imaginations
It seems with advancement comes intimidation
Yet we remain, our sole limitation

The fog of tradition, it blocks out the sky
As the new age dawns, we still cling to the night
In the face of the future we fold and we cower
A failure to embrace our progress as power

Our progress is power, as reality bends at our command
Our progress is power, as the universe rests in our hands

Embrace the power of unrestricted ambition
This is the basis for our evolution
The archaic grip, the script of time, it must be flipped
We are a new chapter and not a conclusion

The fog of tradition and culture blocks the sky
As the new age dawns, we still cling to the night

The universe rests in our hands
As we resolve to understand.. our progress as power

Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Facepalming Panda

Aura of Iniquity
by Dead World Reclamation

supported by 6 fans who also own “Progress As Power”

Reminds me very much of Inferi's masterpiece, The Path Of Apotheosis. Full of melody, aggression and shreddy riffs, about halfway through the album, the pedal seems to go to the Metal even harder. Drachensturm
