Wings of Thanatos is a solo project based in Adelaide, South Australia, incorporating elements of Blackened, Progressive, Melodic and Symphonic Death Metal.

lyrics

There is an absence within you,
a void which must be filled to continue
unto the threshold of absolution.
Your soul lays dormant and must be awoken.

Beneath this skin we are free from the bonds
that shackle us to a reclusive form.
Our physical bodies may be bound to a prison,
but the mind’s transcendence can silence the storm.

Everlasting – the will to overcome.
Unrelenting – the mind’s upheaval.
Abandon this dying world.

Vessels of flesh, now obsolete in the scope of celestial lore.
Vessels of flesh, sculptures of bone,
from this decaying husk I construct my throne.

Eyes transfixed with a piercing gaze,
searching for a path through the blackened haze.
Cascades of despair will plague you no more,
as your soul flies free into evermore.
Transcend into oblivion.

Open the gateways to worlds untold.
Silence the storm, let ascension unfold.

This eve of ascension – it pulls me through,
pulls me closer to the truth.
The third eyes sight must be revived,
free your mind, extinguish life.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228

Terrifiant, ravageur, l'album vous en met plein la g... pendant plus d'1 heure. A ce titre, il est sans doute un peu trop long, et difficilement assimilable. Néanmoins, cela reste un très bon album sur le plan musical - mais j'avoue écouter très peu de tech-death... baudelagon

Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
