Within our very own being, I often believe we are but travellers yearning to discover, to be filled with the wonders for which eyes do not see. Our minds become the very clay which is sculpted by hands of art, it’s shaped cemented in the fires of emotions and what is bestowed becomes an experience that only our spirit may discern and recall. An experience that transcends even this physical realm, for still beings,we are naught, but voyagers we are transformed into…
‘Between Eons’ by Constellation Void becomes a communion with the unknown, and that which is gleaned becomes transformed into esoteric sound, a sound that bewitches the mind, removing the proverbial veil from stained eyes. Drawing upon the cosmic energy from Black Metal, the atmospheric and ethereal ambience, Constellation encodes their message in a similar resonance to that of bands such as Mesarthim, Dark Space and even Lazerthrone. However, though a similar DNA strain is shared amongst these entities, Constellation Void emits a different signal, one whose tongue utters a speech which transforms the null space into that of art and wonder.
The illumination of the musical elements presents themselves in a cathartic manner, a juxtaposition betwixt the somber yet peaceful vibration intertwined with the chaotic transmission, the fusion in turn giving life to an aural organism which appears natural in its alien language. Tracks such as ‘Between Eons’ and ‘Novastral (To Infinity)’ exhibit within their cadence an astral aura to their atmosphere, a trait which bleeds into the album as a whole. Achieved through the unification of the strings and percussions where a metallic yet raw tone is fostered in its playing,which in turn invokes a desolate yet calming energy to be inherited through one’s journey. The very landscape erected in sound becomes adorned with many wonders erupting from the melodies, where each note feels as though it was etched from a mind in repose, a mind that communes with the celestial sea.
Tranquility in its most potent form becomes the zenith of this album, for the voice which becomes the conduit transmits a feeling of drifting aimless into the nether, but it is within this act where peace is rediscovered. The track ‘Cosmic Woods’ is an attestation where the coiling and undulating atmosphere is stippled with the frigid temperature of the vocals, rendering a rather tangible feeling, as though one may stretch their arms to caress such contours. Adding to this tangibility is the production for it graces the ambience with an unpolished texture that accentuates the sound, take for instance ‘Autumn Memory’, the manner in which the sound is uncloaked feels honest yet natural in its echo.
Let the soul become drunk with stillness as it surrenders itself to the message of Constellation Void, for when mind and art copulates what is bred from such magick is a world crafted from thought, speech and sound,a realm that only can be felt not seen,for what is experienced is a profound journey.
