Vocalist Saul Castillo Quotes “Aether is a journey of one’s inner self through a series of scenes interpreted as a visual flight through a storm. With this concept I wanted to take a certain lyrical approach that a listener or reader could easily connect with and understand yet leave a certain mystery, not towards the song it self but towards the listener’s own perspective of their lives”
lyrics
Aether
(Soar) through everlasting cloud formation
(Seek) Advantage through adaptation
(Lost all sight) up as i indulge in exploration
weakened nearing the tides of skies (the storm approaches!)
As i move through the clouds into the darkness
releasing what it feeds
slowly losing control
becoming a target
our fall is guaranteed
(Find me)
into the darkness i will come to peace, (At last)
fight through regardless
(regardless)
At last i find the clearest of skies
As the storm seems to die
The clouds splitting a course
open my eyes to see the sun
the spaces closing all around me
(sudden traumatizing shock)
the massive electronic charges
(becoming difficult to block)
slowly losing control
(become a target)
(Asphyxia )
so i’m fighting for air
the altitude lost in seconds
(infliction) of brief moments portrayed
(my worn out wing have failed again
At last i find the clearest of skies
As the storm seems to die
the clouds splitting a course
open my eyes to see the sun
As i look back i stopped and stared
at the storm that forced its way
this trauma gently sinking in
makes it hard to understand
relieved by blinding sunlight
I soar away
(SOAR)
As i move through the clouds into the darkness

Lyrics by Saul Castillo
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
