Ataraxia
A cosmic horror genre-blend at 62 BPM in C# Phrygian with microtonal bends. The intro opens with sub-bass pulses and reversed whale-call choirs, layered with theremin glides. Verses throb with down-tuned 7-string guitars—Ebow drones and fretless slides—beneath layered guttural and falsetto vocal textures. Tension rises with ambient synths before a colossal drop: down-tuned guitar chugs and stank-face bass groove, driving syncopated drums and aggressive screams. The bridge isolates into a swirling ambient break—modulated reverb and granular pads—setting up an epic finale where the tempo swings to 74, guitars and full orchestra descend into dissonance, euphoric chaos, and cosmic noise textures.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Rising tide of sickness, resistance
Skating on the knife edge of madness
Clinging to my ghost before I dissipate (Dissipate)
Into the abyss
(Devolving)
(Evolving)
Mechanical reflections (Synthetic shadows)
Behind my eyes (It's presence follows)
Chorus
Clinging to reality (Captivity)
Translucent wings carry me (Into the sea)
Mind confined
Material captivity
Verse 2
A labyrinth of brutality
Encoded and nurtured (Nurtured)
The inheritance of intrinsic lethality
(Devolving)
(Evolving)
Chorus
Clinging to reality (Captivity)
Translucent wings carry mе (Breaking free)
