Technopagan DELUXE EDITION

bmurator I was wondering why Ippocalyptica said "words escape me" about this. Now I know... :) This is mental & unique & out of this world good! It demands to be experienced in one sitting. Love the story behind these robots as well! And, of course, I wanted the instrumentals as well. Highly recommended!!!

Old Leech This is great art: moving and cool, complex and unique. The robot players have a unique sound, but the quality of the compositions makes it. Highest rec if you like industrial metal music and themes.

Antifascist Black Metal Network "The best biomechanical band in the land. Assembled from scrap, built by hand, the robot band brings a deeply human tale to life. Ranging from minimalist, expressive, and desolate this album is unlike anything else. 10/10 better than Compressorhead" full review: shorturl.at/bMORV

Jordan Vauvert Un riffing ultra sec et impitoyable, saccadé et très froid à la Mayhem : bienvenue dans le monde d'Electromancy. Bien que vivant en situation de handicap, Satyra décide de programmer des robots qui jouent à sa place, au point où on se demande parfois si la machine n'essaye pas de dominer (sur les "Mechanical Chatter"). Mais surtout, paradoxe de l'artiste, Satyra dépasse ce corps qui lâche prise et programme des instruments qui vont au-delà de l'humain. Magistral. Favorite track: You Cannot Live Forever.

Darkwave It was an intense and fascinating experience for me to listen to this album. Emotions and thoughts were rushing over me, and I’m still trying to find a way to organize them. I like to think of music as the most sophisticated form of communication, and Technopagan fully achieved this aim. Excellent album!

WyvernWinter A unique album! I've not quite heard anything like it before. It's a great album by itself, but the story behind it is also inspiring! I'd love to hear more from this band, and I imagine a live show would be quite something if it were technically feasible! Favorite track: Antifascist Feverdream.

1.	Mechanical Chatter (YCLF) 00:37
2.	The Spark 04:54	lyrics
On the first day And the last day Of the world The queer oracle Leaps From the center Of a cauldron From a fire Kept by fey And mortals touched by the Spark Stir the fire Mince the sage Add cardamom And time There’s a sleeping seed Buried deep Beneath The last fruiting tree On earth This tree will not survive Nor will it die Earth's brew Feeds this seed For rebirth Heat the cauldron Melt the sugar Drink the brew Set the spark We are all Just piles of mud Mounds of flesh Smothering the earth Encased in stone Statuettes, That is at least Until we feel The Spark
3.	Mechanical Chatter (tS) 00:27
4.	Disabled 04:28	lyrics
A recurring sense of grief A passing of myself Pushing my physical limits To face daily life Detached from my body Dissociated, numb My body keeps me safe from the physical pain of being By turning off Disability brings a repeated grief for oneself There is no reason why This is no one’s fault There is nothing you could’ve done This suffering just is Again and again Further My frail body is the ultimate teacher Stripped down to the core of myself By grieving away the parts of me I can hold no more When you can no longer do the things you considered you What are you now? When you can do nothing, What is your value? Intrinsic and infinite Yet we live in a world with a fetish for definition You can only be And that is beautiful Full of awe Powerful enough to crush any other notion I am 29 years old And I am prepared to be old, Wise, And next to death
5.	Mechanical Chatter (tS II) 00:31
6.	Soot and Sulfur 04:48	lyrics
I am A flame I’ve burned bright Burned through many a night I’ve consumed the air around me And the kindling beneath my feet I’ve burned bright For long I’ve kept alight You can tell of my passing From a lingering smell of sulfur I’ve burned hot I’ve carbonized a lot I’ve left my mark on many things My black dust that stains the world I am a flame I am a flame Burning Burning away I’ve burned hot Emblazoned all I aught When my time is over I will be but soot and sulfur When my time is over I will be but soot and sulfur I am a flame I am a flame Burning Burning away Burning Burning Burning Away

11.	You Cannot Live Forever 03:26	lyrics
You cannot stay forever You hardly exist now Your perceptions of reality Are based on a bygone world Beneath blankets of security Rests the soil of this world Viewed Like static of uncertainty From which reality unfurls The grasping at the fabric Only helps it be undone Do not fight your undoing It is your making Mourning transformation Grieve Your passings with pride Accept what is to come The you on the other side
12.	My Body is Failing Me 07:13	lyrics
My hands are heavy ghosts My face is filled with needles My arms have fallen asleep And they won’t wake up My leg burns from no fire My hand can’t hold yours back I cannot itch deep enough The world feels dull through my fingers But Don’t touch me it will hurt There is no reason why The suffering just is My body is failing me My body is failing me My body is failing me My body is failing me Will I die? Or decompose With my eyes wide open?

about

Technical Black Metal composed by human, played by physical robots. In 2018 Satyra became chronically ill. Instead of quitting music because of their disability, they built robots to play instruments for them. This is the result. Technopagan chronicles Satyras physical and spiritual battle facing disability, mortality, and both the fragility yet unrelenting power of human existence so directly.
