Progressiv und aggressiv schließen sich ja häufig aus, nicht aber bei den französischen Hartproggern FRACTAL UNIVERSE, die heute Premiere für ihr ‘Symmetrical Masquerade’ Video feiern. Thematisch geht es um die menschliche Neigung auf ein Leben nach dem Tod zu hoffen.

„the hope humans have of a something, whatever its nature, after death. In that constant denial of the fact that death could equal the ’non-being‘, humans turn this anxiety into an expectation, even a deliverance. But there’s always a doubt remaining. And the most distressing thing isn’t the knowledge of the inevitable, but rather the fact that nothing’s for sure.“

Das neue Album “The Impassable Horizon” kommt am 25.Juni.

Lyrics:

Roaming along a reflection left undrawn

In a time-shaped projection – impalpable

 

We came into being within an empty breath

On the broken line where Chimaera and Medusa meet

 

As the symmetrical basis of a lifelike masquerade

Yet flawed from the point of dawn

 

Though our words hang on this illusion

We long for a horizon that has always been to come

 

Upon the ridge of sharp cliffs, I stare

At the cursing winds of the fixed stars

Under the arch of our cosmological vanity

At this graveyard’s expectations I stare

 

With thoughts of an original autopoiesis

The apostate left with his secret unsolved

 

And from the first step of a senseless reason

We’ve been following the melodies of our blessed corpses

 

Upon the ridge of sharp cliffs, I stare

At the cursing winds of the fixed stars

Under the arch of our cosmological vanity

At this graveyard’s expectations
