about

Mare Cognitum is a one-man black metal band creating dense atmospheres in epic-length songs that explore the cosmos and humanity's place within it.

marecognitum.bandcamp.com

Black metal that stoops so low as to target marginalized groups is guilty of the same crime as the religious dogmatics that it pretends to rail against. Black metal is one of the last bastions of true freedom of expression, and defending it against bigots who would want that spoiled is a worthy fight and one that I am happy to be a part of. My hope is that one day black metal becomes wholly accepting of its own diversity and rejects the arbitrary intolerance of many of the genre's forebears. Peace and love to my LGBTQI+ comrades in black metal.

lyrics

Beacon of light, illuminate us
Burn away this oppressive darkness
So we may breathe in the elegance
Of the lives we have been given,
And of the life we can create

On a noble throne, she awaits
Gazing into the fathomless depths
Ever facing inwards, to the cradle
Where our existences began.

Patiently she has endured
years of provocation
At the behest of those
Who would see her kingdom ruined

Yet her veil of tranquil clouds
Which lies so gently
above her countenance
Conceals a storm of brilliant fire
One which cannot be quenched
By the hands of doomed men
One which cannot be quenched
By the feeble ways of old

She strikes across the sky
Glorious and unwavering
A righteous retribution
That shines for those who burned

Beacon of light, illuminate us
Burn away this oppressive darkness
So we may breathe in the elegance
Of the lives we have been given,
And of the life we can create

Brilliant beacon who oversees the stars,
Who flashes like lightning above the highlands,
Who splits apart the greatest of mountains,
Behold the glory of your righteous wrath.

Let your anger descend in shining conflagration
Let their transgressions become kindling for the blaze

And her veil of tranquil clouds
Which lies so gently
above her countenance
Conceals a storm of brilliant fire
One which cannot be quenched
By the hands of doomed men
One which cannot be quenched
By the feeble ways of old

She strikes across the sky
Glorious and unwavering
A righteous retribution
That shines for those who burned
