Cryptosis comment: “We’re thrilled to unveil “Ascending”, the fourth and final single from our new album ‘Celestial Death’! The full album is available as of TODAY! This track dives into a future where humanity uploads its consciousness to a vast digital cloud, blurring the lines between reality and virtual existence. “Ascending” captures both the allure and the unsettling consequences of this technological leap. It is reflecting on the haunting permanence of a life disconnected from the physical world. Musically, it blends ethereal melodies with steady old school rhythms, building toward an epic climax at the end of the song. This song marks a powerful conclusion to the journey leading up to ‘Celestial Death’. An album that’s darker, heavier, and more atmospheric than anything we’ve done before!”

“Ascending” – Lyrics:
Running from a dark nature
Seeking immortality
Drawn by the grasp of identity
Move to the digital worlds
Enter no matter the cost
This is the beginning
I can see it now
Tearing from the space, so hollow
There are parabolic lights to follow
Like a chain that pulls harder and harder
No control, my grip is slipping further
I let it go
Ascending to the clouds
Extending me
Ascending to the clouds
Unending me
Hearing the echoes faint
Whispers from a bright, dormant past
Bound to this realm
I slumber ‘till all is gone
Ascending to the clouds
Extending me
Ascending to the clouds
Unending me

This album is so good. A very great next leap from the previous one. Not that the last had anything wrong with it, just feels like the band has worked really, really hard on their skills.
