skylandsea Epic album all around, but Black Apples!! Hell yeah. Can't wait to listen to the bass again and again at 3:11 to the end on that song. Favorite track: Black Apples.
Harry Harrison

Harry Harrison Again G&P produce the goods. From the beginning of ‘Eye in the Sky’s where they sound like their name’s inspiration, Monster Magnet; to the Iron Maiden-ish ‘Universe’ (think the Dance of Death album). But at every turn they make the sound their own. Blending Heavy Psych with Jazz, Stoner with Doom, Heavy Metal with Shoe-Gazer; and then somehow turning this melding pot of sounds into one spectacular soundstage for your listening pleasure. And the song Gravity??? That’s just absurdly brilliant. Favorite track: Gravity.

Eye In The Sky The solid smoke fills all the holes in the sky Like as you choke and slowly wait till you die Your mind it drifts away into the unknown Merged with the universe by rhythm and tone As lust flows through your veins it clears you of thoughts And you become someone you thought you were not Past lives fill you with memories you forgot To see them you must unsee all you have sought The seas will rise The stars will fall Eye in the sky Celestial call The sacrifice Eternal Fall Eye in the sky

Ejection 03:53
Ejection Visualize Tides calm down Polymerize Into one Filter the lies Of your thoughts Free your soul Break the chains Nowhere to go And no time to run Open the door So it comes undone Ejection Lost in a cycle Life still and idle Trapped in a bubble You sunk so low

The TUSK 04:05
The TUSK Still don’t know where to begin Knocked on the door but God just won’t let me in This trip left me bloated and tired I need to boost my mind up higher and higher See the sign that I made with my hands Showing you how I came from the end This whole thing might be ready to blow The transport unit system key has gone cold Gone, gone too far Gone to waste Gone to mars Outer space Turned to ash Turned to dust All it’s steel Turned to rust Gone, gone too far Gone to waste Gone to mars Outer space Turned to ash Turned to dust All it’s steel Turned to rust Now my body Meets disgrace any my stories Out of place Shattered down By my lust As i kneel before the tusk

Nebula Haze 06:20

Black Apples 04:34
Black Apples At the wake of the night In the silence alone Would you look at my eyes And step down from your throne Leaves are blown by the wind Under dry hollow trees As the planets they spin And their satellites freeze You were offered a way With a high price to pay Nothing's really for free Close your eyes and you'll see Black desire embraced Feel the presence and curse Look to me with disgrace Look to me with disgust
6.
Dimensionaut 04:22
Dimensionaut Travelled through the stars Got where you were last Now your memories Aren’t past A voice inside your head Says you must eject Into wormholes Wide and vast Went from sand to throne Spinned the wheels so You could rocket off Above It all fell apart When it all turned dark And the sky cried for Your name How many times have you Gone though the hourglass? When did this all begin And until will it last? Oh Dimensionaut That great big life you sought Is withered, wasted, dead and gone That blood moon ritual I think it got to you And now you ride alone On Through the skies The sand And tombs and ruins of ancient doom Alone through time And space Forever til the end of days

Universe 03:50
Universe The sound of the chimes will echo in time Across the expanding universe I still hide behind the depth of my rhymes Across the expanding universe You hold up your tears and tell me you're fine With the blackness of the universe I look to the sky and imagine the size Of the one expanding universe Existence in doubt, a silence so loud The vast emptiness of the universe Alone after all, in a distance a call Unanswered upon the universe And for how many life times will the millions of suns shine? Across the expanding universe You cease to exist, from dust turned to mist Across the expanding universe God throws a joke and lucifer smokes As they stare at the box called universe For every stone left unturned, for every soul hell has burned There's a star fading in the universe

Gravity 08:38
Gravity You spinned the orb of the blind You messed with the unknown I found what I could not find And now the seed was sown It ain't gravity drawing you to me Must be chemistry, do we both agree? It ain't gravity drawing you to me Could be sorcery, baby can't you see? So light 'em up now My protons will elevate Their state in dimension And I will disintegrate Along with your tension It ain't gravity drawing you to me Must be chemistry, do we both agree? It ain't gravity drawing you to me Could be sorcery, baby can't you see? Go now! Find your love, don't keep him waiting You showed me the depth of your thoughts Go now! Turn around and run away 'cause You gotta go before they rot Cause what we both got is like religion We just repeat these empty words The Stars will align with all of our love and Suns will collide with every touch It ain't gravity drawing you to me Must be chemistry, do we both agree? It ain't gravity drawing you to me Could be sorcery, baby can't you see? It ain't gravity drawing you to me It ain't gravity drawing you to me Oh my darling, give up your mind And embrace the way you were designed Oh my darling, give up your mind And embrace the way you were designed

about

Back when we released our first full length studio album, Into the Dunes of Doom, we decided to embark in a multi-album progressive narrative we called the Voyage Series. We knew there was a chance we'd never finish it but, that was the goal.

The story was pretty much written since day one, and it suffered very little alteration since then, going through the next chapters, the dark, depressive and dense Enter the Ceremony of Damnation, and the deep proggy trip of And the Celestial Ascension.

Now we're finally releasing the last piece (and first chapter) of the voyage. The Sounds of the Universe was composed to be our Dopes to Infinity. This is us turning up the spaciness to lysergic levels like never before, introducing better and reimagined versions of a few songs some of your might have heard before back in The Sounds of the Earth, plus new tracks that came to be right after The Ascension Tour.

Look to the Story Arch Order in every Voyage Series chapter cover art to rearrange the songs and follow the journey.

This ties it all together.
