The French label Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions announces the exclusive release of Mare Cognitum's full discography in cassette tape format in a limited edition box set. Mare Cognitum is a brainchild of Jacob Buczarski, the one-man band based in Lake Forest, California explores the depths of space to deliver a multifaceted form of atmospheric and melodic black metal. Mare Cognitum takes the listener on a cosmic journey. From one track to the next, the album's breathtaking beauty is illustrated by fast-paced, captivating melodies and cyclopean parts which echo the vastness of space.
Each of the three albums is a chapter in a space odyssey, illustrated by its own sumptuous artwork. The Mare Cognitum limited edition box set includes The Sea Which Has Become Known, An Extraconscious Lucidity and Phobos Monolith as well as a collector patch and is exclusively available at this location. Be quick with your orders, it's limited to only 100 copies.
In other news, Mare Cognitum will release on 16th September via I, Voidhanger Records, a brand new album entitled Luminiferous Aether. Luminiferous Aether is a mere fragment of a larger contemplation of humanity's state, a reflection of its current position where it finds itself surrounded on all sides and even threatened from within", explains Californian multi-instrumentalist Jacob Buczarski. "In the face of an indifferent Universe, the hubris of man dictates that solutions come from self-destruction. The resulting rumination is a binary lamentation and musing on both whether or not and from where we can find hope, and also an investigation into what compels the human spirit to conquer the insurmountable, and to change in a deeper way than the catalyst of evolution would seem to spur."
More violent, nihilistic and intense than its predecessors, Mare Cognitum's Luminiferous Aether dissects mankind's dark nature and ponders its peculiar impetus for masochism. And by doing so, it glances at a problematic future, at our final destination. "In an attempt to pierce to the core of sentience and its significance", Buczarski concludes, "the light and darkness of man is weighed and considered, and one begins to realize that in all of this, the hourglass of time swiftly empties, marching confidently towards humanity’s inevitable end." In the player below you can give a listen to the new track named "Occultated Temporal Dimensions". Link
