Transhuman Ascendant

by The Design Abstract

supported by

ZekeNigma thumbnail
ZekeNigma The final chapter of TDA's epic sci-fi saga, and perhaps even the band's swansong as well. Transhuman Ascendant perfects the signature TDA sound, and even somewhat calls back to their earlier material with some light cyber-industrial elements, giving the album a slightly cyberpunk edge.

Peak Design Abstract is to be found here, with their most killer riffs, and most soaring, epic symphonies to date. Favorite track: Unleashed.

Never give up hope It’s too late to turn back now they know the truth; our fate is sealed surrounding the walls to the temple they’re outnumbered but we’re wide open secrets uncovered this won’t be the final fight never surrender push through to the temple of light it’s too late to turn back now storm the gates and don’t back down flashes of weapons and blood commands are sent from above we are so close to within… this war has only begun secrets uncovered this won’t be the final fight never surrender push through to the temple of light
2.
An unholy shrine the sacred temple is alive and breathing we invade seeking answers we fight for the truth this mechanical blasphemy stands as a testament to our ignorance power unknown… defile the hallowed light dethrone the faceless masters degrading the sacred by simply existing here, we are the symbol of unending war pushing deeper to the hidden underground synthetic screams among serenity guided by the voice of the beyond yet we leave with more questions is there any way out? or will these secrets die with us? defile the hallowed light dethrone the faceless masters degrading the sacred by simply existing here, we are the symbol of unending war degradation of the sacrosanct defile the hallowed light dethrone the faceless masters degrading the sacred by simply existing here, we are the symbol of unending war this mechanical blasphemy stands as a testament to our ignorance power unknown… our presence defiles their sacred temple yet what do we have to show for the bloodshed?

Exile 04:33
the sprawl of the city linking distant planes in a sea of poverty the depths of this place, the light has abandoned receding omnisphere presence is a sure indication in the eyes of the core, this place is a wasteland make blind the eyes in the sky ever-present abandon the world so drenched in the light we have been abandoned so we must abandon: a life of exile the price for freedom our future is uncertain as the connection is strained no more will we have the insight to guide us severance from the sphere brings mortality to the angel who guided us through everything make blind the eyes in the sky ever-present abandon the world so drenched in the light dehumanised we live in exile, escaping oversight we have been abandoned so we must abandon: a life of exile the price for ultimate freedom

all who dare to face the temple will be stripped of their digital lifeforce the victims of the retribution clog the streets retching with the plague of their punishment unfaithful and blasphemous to the temple decaying with the stench of enlightenment those who worked against the sacred seeking answers they weren’t meant to find the bold aberration who pushed deeper into secrets now pay with their lives morality imposed by ones who use cryptic, lethal force bleeding out on the streets of the city blasphemy brought retribution the dead and decaying victims were the ones simply looking for truth anaemia and a loss of consciousness bodies decay and soon collapse countless examples made by the temple a brutal warning to stay in line lifeforce attacked at the cellular structure a plague draining all energy the light of the temple revoked by the sacred the traitors left to decay morality imposed by the ones who use cryptic, lethal force invoking the rage of our unseen digital deities the ones who seek answers in the light are shorn of any trace of it left to die the ones who seek are getting too close to the answers… bleeding out on the stairs of the temple bodies kept as a warning the dead and decaying victims were the ones simply looking for truth blasphemy brought retribution a sacred cleansing of digital blight the dead and decaying victims were the ones most fixed on the light invoking the rage of our unseen digital deities the ones who seek answers in the light are shorn of any trace of it left to die

The Seer 03:42
Behold the voice of a digital god bound to the voices of the great beyond a prophet-conduit for the machines a computer made from human components twelve sacrificed and blinded to dictate divinity enchained and binded to eternal devotion the words of the seer spoken as one singular entity the voices of the omnisphere bound to bio-synthetic framework a prophet-conduit for the machines a computer made from human components twelve sacrificed and blinded to dictate divinity enchained and binded to eternal devotion the words of the seer spoken as one singular bio-mechanical entity the voices of the omnisphere proclaim the truth: know that the light has been weaponized this power is abhorrent perversion the true balance will destabilise everything they use to control creation the sentinels invade without warning the connection is lost in the bloodshed but the message is understood
7.
Unleashed 04:50
serenity disrupted the final message lost to the storm eradicated with no trace of warning connection lost to never reform the message is incomplete but the truth is waiting to be unleashed (go) return to the world behind you and show us there’s still reason to fight bring down those who spread deceit prove to us we haven’t misplaced our trust show what’s left of the world that they will fear us an enemy of those who fear progress the message is incomplete but the truth is waiting to be unleashed (go) return to the world behind you and show us there’s still reason to fight behind the veil of eradication the messenger is awash with light bring down those who spread deceit Born from a heritage of parasitic entities the voice of guidance takes a dying breath a violent hunt and digital eradication the great teacher, in pain, cries out: “there is another. but it will be too late” our suffering will not be in vain our final cry will soon be unleashed with your power we will infiltrate together we will break the chains break the cycle unleash within us the power to end this fight

eradicate the few survivors still hidden destruction of the aberration is impending blackened smoke chokes the sky (the onslaught) the image of truth has shattered the illusion of divinity keep the pressure forced on the crusade the machines have come with an omen the screaming harbingers of pain (now) we are forced to face the end… fuel to the fire the force is overwhelming machines of death after a war unending contaminate the innocent with lies and diseases of bio-warfare (keep the masses crippled and afraid ) their punishment for higher knowledge a genocidal crusade (now) we are forced to face the end… fuel to the fire the force is overwhelming machines of death after a war unending all that’s left is total destruction they forced our hand this is annihilation this is the end fuel to the fire the force is overwhelming machines of death after a war unending eradicate the few survivors still hidden we are the only ones left to face the end fight to your death the agents of retribution stand

Pathways 04:20
the sacred throne is soaked with the blood of the chosen (the blood of the chosen) enlightenment in the depths of the suffocating darkness (darkness) bleeding out the angel of atonement has opened the gateway the passage to our ultimate salvation breaking boundaries of thought and machine the universe for the first time breathes… pathways are opening connecting minds to the great beyond singularity sacrifice for awakening individuality no longer a sacrifice a singularity absolute now reaches to the sky the unity created in body and in mind the void linked forever blending intelligent life the sacred throne is soaked with the blood of the chosen (the blood of the chosen) enlightenment in the depths of the suffocating darkness (darkness) no choice but to surrender for we all share the pain discrete compound mind will never be the same pathways are opening connecting minds to the great beyond singularity sacrifice for awakening
11.
were we not always the masters of our greatest creation? did we not create the means to our digital salvation? we devised the blueprint for utter devastation yet we refused to surrender even after certain annihilation it is now time… this is the path to enlightenment and rebirth connection in elation this is the awakening of a final form engineering our total salvation the light between now binds us all a singularity unparalleled awakening of every single cell our identity maintained and honoured: forever ourselves (yet forever one) this is the path to enlightenment and rebirth connection in elation this is the awakening of a final form engineering our total salvation now witness all that we’ve achieved we’ve created a god gone are the days of romanticising fundamental blasphemy the surrender and enslavement within now banished to history within this salvation that we have created we will know true unity we devised the blueprint for utter devastation yet we refused to surrender even after certain annihilation it is now time…
