Polar Shifts Due to the Change of the Gravitational Pull of the Sun Anonymous: The north was not always where is today We men are in danger, we’ve lost our path (poles are gone) Construction, functions? That’s uncertain Magnetic towers, heavenly machines Oh God! Where are you now? Suspiria, planet! Suspiria, shelter! Suspiria, sera! Isolation Insolation Get up down nighter! Sky dialation The rich and the powerful ones will aboard While working masses stay in the globe Almura spaceship is here there and everywhere But what can we expect? What can we expect? Suspiria, planet! Suspiria, shelter! Suspiria, sera!

A Place Like Home Narrator: The earthling man, he was dark as snow The lone wolf walked by night just with his soul Scientific curiosity, was the blessing that then turned into a curse He was the only one who could see all those lies inside this dirty world The only one. But she, oh! There’s always a she Gave him hope and then she threw the guy away No one cared for him anymore; he did not care for the stupid human race He hated what he was, he needed an escape and it was project 8 Suspiria… (Chorus) Brian Nicole: Go away, go away, disappear I’m alone, on my own, with my soul Escape from here, world not home, is it me? Go away, go away, disappear Be alone; be alone, in the dark Cut ‘em all, burn ‘em all, shut ‘em all Escape from here; is it space the new horizon? Cut ‘em all, cut ‘em all, cut ‘em all … that’s all I want! Narrator: So he boarded in the spaceship Cause was the only one who passed the test Biomechanical engineer, the profession that will make him build a dream A dream that’s not for him. But walking on an Earthlike planet sounds like fun Let’s fly! (Chorus) Brian Nicole: Born in here! Stuck in here! Born in this world! In this rock! Stuck in this planet! In this God damn prison! Born in this world! You shall die now!

Blaring Space Brian Nicole: So I had this dream Like no other I remembered life I used to have on earth In this eternal trip I hope for nothing Just to find a new beginning The priest: Do not worry my child I won’t hurt you I won’t use you Trust in me my friend… (I lie)

The Arrival 10:07
The Arrival Almura passenger: Seems we’re here, seems we have arrived I look through the window and I see the planet there Feels so strange to be out of my world Light years of distance human kind is from the Antique blue Brian Nicole: They think they are gods but they are not Arrogant souls show confidence but they full of fear Time doesn’t run, there’s no day or night I can see rain and I see the Axis of Life… Narrator: And the door was opened to a livefull wasteland They couldn’t hide their fear behind their souls (mixed feelings) Slowly walk through the aisle Electric plants, light forms Dark gas comes, animals flee…

Building at 360mph I. Air Agitaria The crew: Excuse me Mother Nature we’re building in this place We’re the chosen people from space Excuse me Mother Nature we’re changing the prospect To make it look like planet Earth! Brian Nicole tell us what to do Send us lighting send us volt On bleak moorland sky of draby grey Hill and valley, sea and river Narrator: Call, from your cutting edge station Call, make them all build your city Make them all build your great Make them all be your head Make them all be your arms, mind, soul, heart Your all fate! The crew: How long we can break down? And how far we can fly? How long will our dreams come true? And how far we can cry? How great are all those mainland stars! A cutting edge outlandishness! ii. Brinicle Brian Nicole: Approaching the cold side To expand our city We have to drill down Meters and meters of ice Cold death will reach you Freezing your brain while you cry These oceans are naughty and crude Starfish are passing away Twee ice columns greekly done by nature’s entity, entirely Inside we find our holy water or so they said so they claimed And they bowed and cried like young to thank God for its grace, for its grace And they blessed the priest who found it but I know, water’s dark, so so dark So so dark… Heavenly paradise Humans don’t know what it hides Diving, exploring, swimming trough seas Drinking, tasting, filling bottles Submarine riding Discovering life forms tonight Luminic creatures lighting our path Infinite deepness Twee ice columns greekly done by nature’s entity, entirely Inside we find our holy water or so they said so they claimed And they bowed and cried like young to thank God for its grace, for its grace And they blessed the priest who found it but I know, water’s dark, so so dark So so dark… iii. Waterfalls The planet: Water falls Waterfalls Water falls Waterfalls Crew member: I feel more than excited I feel more than delighted Admire and drink from this water now! We´re surviving in this planet that’s not home Wise old chemical system Great magic within this liquid Dim dot deeply invading our minds We destroyed GAIA now this is our fate My eyes, luminous marbles Landscape heavenly pretty The sky coloring mountains, sun light! Heating all over my body, beautiful, or is it wonderful? Down my throat… (He was the only one) Dark water Death, coming now!

Side Effect 09:16
Side effect Brian Nicole: How it hurts to be alone, in the silence On this blackened cave of stone, in the sadness The moment I went out, the moment I saw the truth Man have lost the way, is not that hard to explain (The euphoric being became the great madness) Miles of massive side effect (outside) Life is fading, thorns of death (Inside) Sadness burning, smiles are gone All I can do is survive (useless) Crew member: Crawling through my brain comes the pain! Caught on hands of insanity! Losing human sense, feel the rain! Ripping all I see before my eyes! Brian Nicole: I am the only one who still fights! Damnation came to everyone! Desolation land Isolation Plain Red river flow Freezing air runs fast The “beauty” of my race They all are gone Narrator: He needed and escape And it was project 8 Disaster came They’re all death Brian Nicole: Silence in my ears The wind is all I hear The only thing I know Is that I’m alone Crew member: Evil inside Losing my mind Trying not to fall That’s nonsense Narrator: Suspirian dream Gone fast as wind End of this beam The lone wolf is back…

about

Walking on an Earthlike Planet is their first concept album; the original idea was conceived by Joshua (guitar) and later developed by all band members. It tells the story of Brian NIcole, a scientist born with a brilliant mind and insatiable curiosity. The story is set in a pre-apocalyptic world in the midst of a society in which everyone lives only to satisfy their own pleasures.
Brian grows as being misunderstood and after suffering the betrayal by his beloved, he loses all of his humanity. However, and thanks to its unusual intelligence, he is invited to be part of Project 8, which is meant to save the most powerful and intelligent people in the world and bring them to the planet Suspiria, in order to preserve the human race. Their destiny is still uncertain...

"They are really young and ambitious and have created an incredible record, with lots of intricate arrangements and crazy time signatures. Very proud of this one, new blood in the prog genre!!!" – Billy Sherwood

Story and characters created by Joshua San Martín.
Written in México, D.F. between August 2013 and March 2014
Recorded in California, USA, between July and August 2014
