Liberation 15:31
Observing The artifact Icons dance In smoke Close is the time Of Liberation Images are imprints To recognize the divine When drifting through the forms Of the inscrutable Threshold Of mortality's pain Can darken the dying Mind Turmoil of the last breath, Terror devours each thought Feeling of termination Crawling across corridors of silence Setting the Path on fire, Spirit of peace Must be invoked Misconceptions And the fear of departure Blow away the chance To embrace the light Confused and unprepared The consciousnesses leave the corpse Earth of sacred rivers Observed by bewildered eyes Guided by the litany The Self begins to travel, Led towards the passages Where spirits are reborn as Gods Words echo in death's realm The spirit shall not turn back Ignorance calls the preys Away from Liberation...

Resurgence 06:13
From steel vapour, From blindness and oblivion The resurgence. Once again a primeval wailing, I break the hush and the cold Innervated pile of flesh, I must re-learn to breathe Sudden Resurgence, Dying backwards, Sinking inwards From steel vapour, From blindness and oblivion My resurgence.
3.
Gliding Impalpable, Nomad Of the Pillars of Creation Eyes of silver That swallow the light... "Manifold oneness, Answer my call!" Teardrops of arrogance For grace to be bestowed "To reach Thy powers To seize Thy nature To browse through the Golden Pages To forget my death... my humble praises To the Beholder I'm crying out My flesh is my offer, blood of the devout Be my call heard!" Disease of grandeur Hangs over the Promethean The self-magnifying Tries to crawl towards the unapproachable On a quest for power Boundaries are unknowable But all at once the request is heard, Beholder's quiet is distraught Now see it elevate from its watchtower, Furiously churning with its thought The arrogant misunderstands The rising of the entity, He smiles as he waits for splendour to be granted From an indulgent being... Powers are invoked from afar For the retribution And so the Promethean is pulverized into the abyss... The order is silently restored.

about

"The three-song, 37-minute offering is an illustrious combination of early Peaceville-era romanticism and thunderous Finnish death/doom, a la Rippikoulu. It has moments where it is elegant or atmospheric. Then, on a dime, it changes to something merciless and fearsome" (Metal Injection)

"haunting, hallucinatory, and horrific" (No Clean Singing)

"Just WOW. And from literally out of nowhere, meet Assumption, a band who’s perhaps created one of the (if not THE) most majestic, dismal, and crushing death-doom albums of the year. Absconditus is their first proper LP (after two past EPs) and it’s an utter monster, worshipping right at the altar of legends like Disembowelment and Winter." (Cvlt Nation)

"fans of deep, slow and heavy Death / Doom Metal who likes to feel the essence of asphyxiation, this album will please you until death embraces your corpse" (Voices from The Dark Side)
