New Age 03:17
We arrived to deserted sphere Fluttered with broken wings through the dark Headed for the blinding light Wouldn't stop to find our hearts Abolished the obstacles Destroyed everything in the way Our thirst for renewance Was always unfulfilled Across the pale universe Beyond the curved horizon we gave our plea And wished for some mercy From the greater archaic unknown This is the new age This is the new world This is the place where we don't belong Out of this realm Out of this time We must bury our yesterdays alive now At the edge we witness The pulse of our world closing And we can't hold each other 'cos that time has gone We never had a second chance A chance for an explanation Why are we here? Why were you with me this long journey? Across the pale universe Beyond the curved horizon we gave our plea And wished for some mercy From the greater archaic unknown Across the pale universe Beyond the curved horizon we gave our plea And wished for some mercy From the greater archaic unknown This is the new age This is the new world This is the place where we don't belong Out of this realm Out of this time We must bury our yesterdays alive now

Red clouds spread, it's silent The last leaves have fallen White marble crumbles in rain In acid that burns it away Emotion is emptiness The motion quietly towards The picture of myself Adolescence of my thoughts lost Broken winged statue Appears before me I fly away To another dream I fly away To another dream To begin to wither as none Draining me to an enigma Endless phrases circle me like vultures I feel nothing in this storm Broken Winged statue Appears before me Broken Winged statue Appears before me I fly away To another dream I fly away To another dream Blood red Is my Falling Sky

I've concealed the light you gave me And drown myself in shadows Despair feeds me with narcotic lust Without any reason to survive And I see There is no going back I am deprived Of sensible feelings Why would I turn around with the tide Thoughts remain as mystery I kill the glory of overcoming my mistakes And force myself through the storm Within the waves the sickness thrives There is no search for consolation Plunging into a fake catharsis And falling into the darkest pit I wanted to be the one The pain, the storm, the love But it was never meant to be And between us It is forever lost And I see There is no going back I am deprived Of sensible feelings And I see There is no going back I am deprived Of sensible feelings Why would I turn around with the tide Thoughts remain as mystery I kill the glory of overcoming my mistakes And force myself through the storm

Can you see me? With my two faces Another half in a skinless grin Another with a bit of joy Every morning I wake up To the taste of bitterness I hide too much from you And from myself They are dragging me Into the dark playground Those memories left behind And buried ever deep deep down They dance in the dark Their skeleton dance No lights can be lit in this night They wait for me... ...to wake up To the sense of danger The fear of losing something Too much of the living me They are dragging me Into the dark playground Those memories left behind And buried ever deep deep down Deep deep down They are dragging me Into this haunting night Those memories trapped within Have carved my undead skin My skeleton grin

The Cubicle 04:03
Lost in a walless maze Days hurried in a haze Stressed out, utterly spent Stretched too far and bent Living in constant fear Losing purpose here The huge amount of work Gets me nowhere It's no longer in my hands All my paths are dead ends It's no longer in my hands All my paths are dead ends You ain't free if you don't feel free You ain't free if you do To break those strangling shackles You must unbind the whole world Falling in a bottomless pit Must stop the fall before the hit Nightmare goes on through the day I have to get away My release My disease Reaching out Into the end My release My disease Reaching out Into the end My release My disease Reaching out Into the end My release My disease Reaching out Into the end It's no longer in my hands All my paths are dead ends It's no longer in my hands All my paths are dead ends You ain't free if you don't feel free You ain't free if you do To break those strangling shackles You must unbind the whole world This space is a vacuum Where I can't breathe I reach out beyond my dreams Flying away Is the only way Go beyond the dreams Beyond the dreams

Boiling and burning The cups are turning Cauldron sizzling and brewing for me Water to wine, Bread I don't like And my thoughts and ideas are pure gold Enjoying and singing My head is filling Nothing can stop my high now Enraged and wasted There's no end to this madness I have no reason to pass out Believe me There's nothing out there to see But my potions - they can bring release Chemical ecstasy I create thee A whole world of fantasy Where nothing is real But feels better than anything could ever be Twisting and turning My guts are burning But I know what can take - take the pain away Water to wine, Bread I don't like But I know what will be pure gold Believe me There's nothing out there to see But my potions - they can bring release Chemical ecstasy I create thee A whole world of fantasy Where nothing is real But feels better than anything could ever be You know what can take the pain away Oh yes, you do Believe me There's nothing out there to see But my potions - they can bring release Chemical ecstasy I create thee A whole world of fantasy Where nothing is real But feels better than anything could ever be

about

Cerebral Mist was a melodic death metal band from Joensuu, Finland - or barely had time to be.

Its founder Antti Parviainen died abruptly in February of 2018, leaving behind him six demos, which were to serve as the backbone of an upcoming album. Parviainen was 32 years old.

The band’s vocalist and other composer Antti Argillander, bassist Erno Venäläinen and current music producer Erno Sallinen - all of whom had played together as teenagers - met at the funeral and swore that one day they would finish what Parviainen had started.

In the summer of 2021 Sallinen finally took the bull by the horns and started the production of the EP later to be named Age of Mist. Apart from the vocal recordings plagued with calendar problems, remote work and even a corona case, the production was finished in a couple of months.

“The project was interesting due to the fact that everything needed to be arranged around Parviainen’s demo guitars”, Sallinen recollects. “No guitar tracks were re-recorded, unless absolutely necessary.” The final product is not without changes, but - thanks to studio magic - 95% of the guitar tracks are still played by Parviainen.

Finally the project ballooned in to a full-blown work party, when others wanted to support a good cause as well.


Argillander’s vocals were recorded by Elmo Kröger (also currently in Kings of Guilt) and the backing vocals were sung by Nevicate’s Anni Kokkonen. The record was mixed and mastered by Joona Muistola of HAW Studios, and the cover art was drawn by Sinni Jensen.

The EP is released by Inverse Records, and it’s available on all major streaming platforms on the 31st of March 2022. For those interested to dive deeper, the original untouched demos of the songs are available at Cerebral Mist’s Bandcamp site.

“Parviainen was a wonderful person and a great friend. Making music with him was a privilege. I believe he would have been proud of this release”, Argillander states.
