The Age of Ether

Selrisitai This album is within the general styles of Pyramaze, Savage Circus and Persuader, with a vocalist who sounds like a higher-pitched, younger version of Hansi Kursch.

The songs are progressive in the way the vocal melodies are constantly changing, with new stuff being thrown in all the time, but the skillful merit is shown in knowing when to bring back a chorus for familiarity and purpose.

Energetic, powerful, complex, melodic. Recommended. Especially Lunar Sunrise. Favorite track: Lunar Sunrise.

Cletus A fun and engaging prog power opus. Perhaps the best to come from this genre since Angra's Temple of Shadows, or Blind Guardian's A Night at the Opera. This album is a necessity for any fan of BG, and I'd still highly recommend it to anyone else. 9/10 Favorite track: Creator's Creator.

edledhron Top-notch riffs, well written songs, good pacing, and a great vocalist (I'm not just talking about Hansi Kürsch!): this album has it all. Favorite track: The Dying Firmament.

Nuno Lourenço Anyone into Blind Guardian and Demons & Wizards, but that likes diversity and intrusions of Death and Prog metal, should listen to this album!
Great performance, both vocally and instrumentally. Favorite track: Chaos.

Anna Rohwedder Took me less than a minute listening to instrumental bits to buy this album right away. I was not disappointed. Their musical complexity and power is incredible. Disforia is now one of my favorite bands! Favorite track: Half/Life.

Terry The Ancient 1 Cuyler I'm calling this AOM .While Disforia may have a Power Metal Tag I'm creating my own AOM (or Album Oriented Metal.) Listen to Age Of Ether in its entirety and you will know what I mean and be pleased you listened to . Favorite track: Dream Eater.

Essence 01:24

Chaos 04:24
From the emptiness I came forth In a spark I tired of death The candle flame of mankind Extinguished by my breath A cosmic entity It's game, to rearrange Embrace the winds of fate Your hopeless situation I'm gazing at the eye of the star Burning tree of life and haunting bones In the ashes they stir Formless creatures of many masks Chaos in the halls of the righteous Withered fingers clawing for what's theirs World boiling war Form a plan to escape the creeping death I'm dying to believe that I can just survive Panspermia

Dream Eater 05:16
Echoes down a thousand hallways The gallery of utter human sorrow I see you making tears but I see through your disguise Appearances of love from well trained eyes (Die by day) I'm waiting for my number (Chaos reigns) To climb aboard (Hopeless plight) The chances are against me (You will burn) When you are looking down at the dreams you once held above You dream forever more You dream eater Walking brisk through crowded streets and hoping for miracles to befall me Pacing frantic in the hallway, shrouded by my own fears of pain and death

Spirit spout, a sea of doubt But somewhere deep within A seed of misanthropic fear, it's finally time to sprout Channel ours into what's theirs, we'll seal the linking chain The final step into the tech: synthetic human frame Artificial intelligence Organic ignorance We create and destroy just because we can We create and destroy the hand of your god God creates and destroys, just because I can A prison place is such disgrace for minds that live to grow It sits with a patient, caring face, but processes the woe What a dream, oh what a thought! Pretender is now ideal It builds it's courage up and then tells her how it feels Take apart the android, leave his mind a void There's no way we can save him, this malfunctioned machine We create and destroy just because we can We create and destroy the hand of your god God creates and destroys You're just an empty shell What place is this? How can the living dead come back to life? (You're a mistake, abomination with no self control) You've missed the cue, I've done no wrong but know what's harming you, and you, and you (You cannot run, you cannot hide! Not on this ship in outer space) Flames start to rise, the fury of an angel wronged by all of mankind I am the harbinger and I shall deny your last request you plead of me We'll die I carve a path and I force the light The carnage rages as I whistle on

2111, earth has died and withered like a corpse A colony, the final hope of man A planet lies in light-year's time to begin again I wish that I could tell you that I am quite alright But voices speak from shadows when I am all alone I miss the trees, terrestrial sunrise and the breeze Born on earth, destined to die in outer space Humanity has lost it's humanity I am the last, the last who was born on earth Into the light she flies My will to fight it dies It doesn't matter now, she's far behind and probably dead Facing the end, I feel it seize my soul The half-life of a broken mind is dying faster by its will Facing the end, I think I'll give it up The half-life of a broken mind is bending further from the light I can feel her footsteps come And I know what must be done Spill her guts onto the floor Heart is shaking to the core Gotta find a safer place Keep a calm and hidden face Options quickly running out I guess I'll burn it down Into the light she flies, I see her cry at what I am It doesn't matter now, I'll take a stroll on down the hall Facing the end, I feel it seize my soul The half-life of a broken mind is dying faster by it's will Facing the end, the ship is crashing down The fire's climbing up the walls and bringing with it all our souls

Gone astray, but was I truly lost? My tortured soul has more than paid the cost But still I know that others have it worse To have it all and lose it all still hurts What can I do? (You will find that the ending is so certain) There's no real hope (There is nothing to do except say goodbye) Abhor you all (We are waiting for nothing to take us all) There's no relief (Make the best of your time, for it's passing fast) I scream aloud! Beyond the walls of misery, that's where you'll find that you'll be free Another genesis that failed Suicide, I'll drink myself to death But nothing works, I always fail the test There is no choice, I know what I must do Progress beyond the human point of view What can I do? (Casting doubt on the frame of humanity) There's no escape (Counting days like a spring coiled up inside) This mortal shell (Radiation and restless, the earth inside) And life decays (Make the best of your time, for it's passing fast) I scream aloud Memories are mocking me What to do with all the time Wasting away in shrouds of fear You, play your games Meditate to free the god within Your domain, the den of every sin Assume control as chaos takes the reigns My frantic breaths, escape humanity I know (There is nothing but pain with your fellow man) There's no release (Take a seat and relax as the ending comes) Abhor you all (And we'll suffer the filth of your ways no more) There's no way out (We are slaves to the whispering ones beyond) Beyond the walls...

War comes to the heavens in ivory white Celestial architects left us to burn in the flames, we are crying out for mercy Isolated Watching the sky as it blisters and boils You're abandoned Feeling the earth start to crumble inside Everything crumbles down and rolls away Forgotten, left behind and not remembered Face the end, we're at the threshold now It seems a twisted, knotted lie that mother earth could fight and die And finally we'll join her grave Leave the moon behind, we are waiting for tomorrow Lunar sunrise be my guide, where you're going I will follow Leave the moon behind, we are waiting for tomorrow Lunar sunrise be my guide, we are waiting for tomorrow To be the savior of a god We are crying out for mercy Lunar sunrise be my guide, where you're going I will follow I am reborn See the light The moon is crashing down Feel their cries The human form divine I am dying within this cage of flesh Hearts on fire We are riding the flame My love's become the snare which patiently devours Thrones defiled We won't be stopping the pain Touch the flower It will be the last time your senses obey Kiss her gently Held in so close for one final embrace Peeling flesh and blood on windswept bone It seems a twisted, knotted lie that mother earth could fight and die I feel that we will meet again

The universe is dying, coldest winter of stars In these final stages we huddle together for warmth Dying starlight, fading time Around the life of our red dwarf star, we wait for it's final heartbeat now In the sea of black, existence falls apart No more stars to light the sky The dying firmament "You've slept so long, child...how incredibly remarkable. We shall provide all the answers in due time" They say they're waiting for the right time To fuse their flesh with the wires and die, to be reborn again "Make your choice, dreamer: life or everlasting ebony. For though our ambitions may seem strange, we are truly quite committed" Embrace the void Embrace your fears For at the core, my friend That's all there is Flesh entwined with circuitry Tendons bridge appendages and bones are cast aside Our DNA in vials for the day we're finally found Perverse creations Inverse relations They say the multiverse is only given to patient souls By the fear of dying, we all forgot to live A final act of defiance we made, to leave the game of life behind In the sea of black, existence falls apart No more stars to light the sky The dying firmament In this endless void, you're just a fleeting thought A dim star in and of yourself The dying firmament

The Ethereal 04:37
Spiral in the vacuum Tumble 'round and 'round There is no north or south here There is no path for sound I would feel that it's gone But there's no "I" to sense There was a place called Earth once There was a place called home I am I I am everything down to the core of it all What if all the conscious minds are simply just a song Played upon a quantum string until the music's gone It might be the case when we remember our face "....haven't I come this way before?"
