1.	First Light 01:30
2.	Creation of a Planet 10:11	lyrics
Once the Earth was young Birthed three children, Land, Air and Ocean When Land grew he took the name Pangaea He was alone His brother Ocean screamed storms His sister Air blew fleeting He created a world to keep him sane Created plants and trees but they were too quiet So created animals that ran and hunted Life was a circle balanced from molten core A magnetic movement of instinctual momentum Forests from his mind, species from his mouth The evolving creature lives by the word of the weather The separation of space a condition of perception The speck of this planet in transient vibration Elaborate mutations in the essence of beast The imagined projection of survival’s design The animals do grow and change A million years become a new Finally Pangaea is not alone
3.	Fragmented Body 07:30	lyrics
The brain is chiseled from stone tools Hallucinations befell you On plants of wisdom sacred caverns are reached I paint what I see with blood of hunted The angry mother does not trust The creatures forming, fears what they’ll become So separates them, the animals Puts Ocean between them My body ripped apart into pieces Separated by miles of vindictive Ocean Body is fragmented but my creatures thrive But the creatures do survive Extend their life force to the mountain’s edge Harness the quaking Earth into transcendence The ape became strong of body and mind I may not be whole but my power resounds As the ape grew and grew Became the smartest creature alive Human ascension A trilobite on the ocean floor But my bones are buried never to be found The thought continues though the flesh is ash Transient monuments succumb to flood Stars are falling constellations warn The seed of Mars is thrust upon the scorched of war Ceres claims thee, she the rightful owner Return to soil No longer in competition We always win in cunning Unlimited is our appetite We will take all you have One day we will control the waves Control the sun in the sky Authorship of time our mission Behold the human transition
4.	The Human Transition 02:27
5.	Reciprocity of Disrepair 07:25	lyrics
Air made their home cold forced them to leave Became weak and dwindled, dwindled in numbers Eventually recovered, made the whole world their home Became smarter than Pangaea had imagined Scoured resources and grew Proud of the world he created But naïve to the truth Every ingenious thing celebrated An equally negative produced Other animals abided by the laws of Earth But humans created their own and expected Earth to abide Crave eternally the face of deity Adorn the walls illusory security Progress devoid Transient monuments will be gone Desire will fail to provide solace You are deceived and your mind is beyond repair Programmed sentience, subservience Your symbols injected Your words of obsolescence Belief proceeds the animus Suppressed instinct is coiled Proud of the world he created But naïve to the truth Every ingenious thing celebrated An equally negative produced Other animals abided by the laws of Earth But humans created their own and expected Earth to abide
6.	Storms Continue On 08:47	lyrics
I of the mountain - wage war I of the bird’s flight - wage war I, ruler of trees - wage war I, suppressor of quake - wage war I of the sea floor incite the wicked storms - wage war I, the new world simians avenge the great apes’ scorn - wage war I of the extinct rise in conquering force - wage war Storms hide the Earth’s clandestine purge - wage war The loudest lightning crash ever heard The perished become food to nourish scorched soil Blizzards in the night freeze all life to stone The dawn of man presents at the fateful gates Asks forgiveness for planetary malice Earth’s body gave you life Return to no other when you die Your mind works like lightning Your bones are trees adjoined Eventually you become the technology you formed I must stop you before it’s too late And all organic are enslaved My skies evoke unseen terror The grounds open their mouths The prophets in your mind take credit for creation They will die with your thoughts My body made your flesh work No more confusion In this cataclysmic season of planetary insurrection Earth shatters illusion Tellers of the future stare into a moon unchanged Through a million phases it glares back And bestows the night upon My skies evoke unseen terror The grounds open their mouths
7.	Into The Inevitable Night 01:49	lyrics
Creation, destruction, cycle infinite Planets burst from the howls of space There is an energy we cannot comprehend On a distant universal plane Our laws of matter all we know A transient fire in the night is gone by day

about

"Pangaea" uses a mythological point-of-view to tell the story of a planet at war with its occupants. The tortured main character, Pangaea, is ripped apart into separate continents by Earth so as to prevent the begetting of creatures with potential too powerful to be trusted. Acting out of spite, Pangaea nurtures humanity's rise to power until their passive occupation mutates into indefensible planetary malice. Using wide dynamic shifts and changes in meter, with “Pangaea” ECFERUS creates the musical equivalent of an accelerated planetary evolution, depicting the fury of the elements and an Earth painfully coming to life.

ECFERUS is ALP - all instruments and vocals

Resonance: Crimson Void
by Mare Cognitum / Aureole

supported by 27 fans who also own “Pangaea”

Some of the best cosmic black metal I've heard. Mare Cognitum continues to prove themselves to be masters of crafting a vast, celstial soundscape, and the Lovecraft-esque atmosphere present throughout Aureole's half definitely made me want to check out the rest of their discography. honeycombguy

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 26 fans who also own “Pangaea”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 25 fans who also own “Pangaea”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
