Ceremonial Chambers
05:46
|
|||
|
The inner ceremonial chambers. Here the water god's serpents reside to accept the flesh of the weak to be devoured. Only a warrior who swims like the serpent shall escape their clutches.
You must have a keen eye, so that you may bathe in the sacred waters.
Look into your own eyes. And when your courage is strongest, your last step to your prize will be upheld by your faith.

I Am The Gods
04:02
|
|||
|
We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again,
a new age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical City on the Hill. Soon that city will be a reality, and we will be crowned its kings.
Or better than kings.
Gods.
|

Enemy Within
04:21
|
|||
|
Soon I will be ahead of you, beside you -- I will be a part of everything in your world.
Is that God you're talking about or just a bunch of New Age crap?
Yes, a New Age. Too bad you will not be able to see it.
|

4. |
Icarus
02:43
|
|||
|
Soon I will be pure light! Pure energy! Helios and I...
You will be the Supreme Enlightened, the Illumined One.
Look at you:
You're nothing but a little man... a little man still living inside a body.
Lose your body and what are you?
Nothing!
You vanish!
You die...
|

My Five Eyes
04:59
|
|||
|
The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by Gods.
They were apparitions of observation, judgement and punishment. Other sentiments towards them were secondary.
The human organism always worships.
How do you know who I am?
|
||||
6. |
Everybody Lies
02:51
|
|||
|
It's critical that they trust you.
|
||||
7. |
Origin
04:46
|
|||
|
I don't understand. What do you want? You're just a machine.
19 years old. No residence. No ancestors. No employer. No --
You are another kind of question with another kind of answer

Of Thy Hanging Gardens
05:31
|
|||
|
Only the messiah can purify the temple now.
This is the obelisk of the clouds. Beyond here lies the pool of thunder
The Way is filled with darkness. The Torch of Tranquility must light the path of the worthy. Spiritual progression is achieved by those who set the Torch of Tranquility aflame.
And Vandora came forth, with the fire from the Sky upon her lips, and sanctified the sacred fountain with her kiss. Thus, she said, he who follows me shall cast off the bonds of flesh and become as elusive as the mist.
|

9. |
Daedalus
03:02
|
|||
|
Who's Daedalus, and why does he want to rescue me?
Are you sure Daedalus is your ally?
I'm depending on you.
I have chosen you. Trust me.
|
||||
10. |
The Last Centaur
05:18
|
|||
|
The path to be followed is long and harrowing, but the strong of heart and purpose shall prevail against the challenges.
Oh, hear our plea! Send our messiah!
I sit here, waiting to die. Waiting... The wait is worse than death itself. My fears tear at my soul.
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
I'll not stay here any longer. With the next passing of the two suns, I'll try to reach the Sunspire. There I will be safe. Before I go I will retrieve the sky demon's weapon from the abbey.
We shall pray before we set off for the Sunspire. We will find refuge there. Praise be to the God of the Good Lore for giving us sanctuary. The journey will be treacherous but we will prevail!
|

Terminal
02:59
|
|||
|
The Skaarj escape pod has broken free from the planet's gravitational pull... barely, Yet its fuel is depleted and you drift aimlessly.

I would like to thank you for listening to the album.

-On Physical Form Soon-
"Heaven has created an extraordinary release, filled with majestic atmospheres, powerful melodies and unique sounds. Proxima is the best Heaven release by far. Congratulations." - Emperor XIX
"Heaven takes the plunge into mythology and lore to craft a sizzling musical adventure with godly choral leads and powerfully intricate and solid rhythms. The genre of dungeon-synth is excavated and reveals that below its depths exists an entire labyrinth. Spoken-word samples send the listener beyond instrumental appreciation and firmly into the journey of Proxima. The imagery throughout is awe-inspiring. Drums feel like heart beats and exhalations as you tread further into the labyrinth. It is impossible to pick a favorite on the initial listen, as the entire record is meticulously formed to be listened in-full. Heaven’s sound palette has expanded drastically from previous releases, utilizing frequency modulation, cleverly baked distortion and wonderful gliding notes to remind the listener of the benevolence of the Gods that put us in this labyrinth. Heaven remains the Olympian demigod that shapes dungeon synth into an incredibly strong and addicting listening experience, with-or-without tabletop games in the mix." - Spaceseer
"Heavy hitting Industrial-like beats clashing together with beautiful dungeon music made in (and by) Heaven. Some tracks like "I Am The Gods“ even go into the synthwave territory. For me, you are the magician of the fast tracker." - Thanaphos
"Proxima takes Heaven's iconic sound to new depths of mythological exploration. More utterances and vocalizations are present than on Deus ex Machina, and they add considerable gravitas to the compositions. The album rewards an uninterrupted listening, and Mountain has plenty of messages to deliver throughout. Mesmerizing mythos from a master!" - Wood Archer
"This dungeon synth album is unlike anything I've heard recently and will surprise the listener in unique ways. The percussion is one of the shining aspects of "Proxima" and plays a lead role throughout the experience. All while dark melodies dance as if entranced. The tracks are packed with hidden riffs that intertwine, build, and grow with subtlety. Drenched in a sense of time immaterial, the album begs the listener to step through the portal and walk the dark and mysterious streets of some ancient civilization." - Chaos Lord (Relics Of The Eternal City)
"Unique percussions, great pacing, mesmerizing storytelling and an original but simultaneously classic atmosphere. Proxima is an album you can get instantly hooked to." - Ancient Spirit
"Proxima is an amazing album from an excellent musician that takes you on an atmospheric aura in a fantasy world, with amazing sounds that represent this genre. You have to listen to this and let yourself into the magical world of its melody!" - Apocalyptic Leaders
"A harmoniously-tuned and compiled collection of saturation. Heaven blends a precise and balanced palette of lo-fi samples and instruments in his strongest release yet - highly recommended." - Elyvilon
"Proxima" is a cold dungeonwave album that blends energetic, dark and mystic vibes, with trance-inducing, hypnotic beats that had me nodding my head from the very start. You have a heart of gold - don't let them take it from you." - Sweet 8 Bitterness
"My good friend Heaven delivers an epic and varied journey once again, combining aesthetics from many different genres. As a whole, this brings back memories of AMIGA 'demo disks' from the '90s, combining youthful nostalgia with more contemporary elements. This is clearly a labor of love by Heaven, who is paving the way for Greek lofi fantasy music. Clear 48 minutes in your day, put on your favourite headphones, lie back, and enjoy!" - Idylls Of The Last King
"Heaven's new album is unique as always, with great melodies and drum beats from start to finish. It really is an amazing album." - Eternal Kerberus
"I love it. it reminds me much more of a video game soundtrack than some of your other works, it would fit so well with an old RPG game" - Angel

Strongly suggested for any scholars who study any flower-based life forms regardless of your religious affiliation. The work ethic of the Qyo is properly reflected as has been previously reported in the literature (Loblaw et al, 1968;McGlomberson, 2023) Besides the obvious social-cultural value of the this record, the sonic choices are superb. For this listener was an instant callback to the SNES era by its vocal sounds.
