about

we released it last year as "Apotheosis" but the name made no sense so we reverted it back to the project file title "aperture" which rolls off the tongue better. enjoy

**this song was also recorded with our full line-up, the other members decided to focus on their personal lives. There's no hard feelings and if anything this is a tribute to their hard work and success with us as a band.

thankyou Mike, Lee, & Ethan

lyrics

Perish in transit
Discovering irrelevant ideas

Might we reveal the possibility to embrace?
Omniscience
Surpass the veil to truly see consequences laid dormant spanning lifetimes

These apparitions I see, are they ghosts or memories
Dissipating consciousness
The guise of accumulated tension

Everlasting efforts
Carried out in an hypnotic trance
Conspiracy guides my search through the past

This game of illusive progress
And this resistance to new found knowledge,
By erroneous beings
Coercing the lemmings
Condemning them to lives of
Pragmatic emptiness

Moving forward our mistakes resurface

Break your face
Take what’s left
Scrape it across the earth

There’s everything left to be said perhaps you misinterpret death

Close your mouth and open your eyes

open your eyes...

Supreme Truth

I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora. Catsfist

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
