COSMICATHEDRALUMINATION

Space. A lot of bands have already explored this topic. And that's fine with me. Star-Thrown does not explore space in a science-fiction sense, however. The concept behind the first song entitled CosmiCathedraLumination is part science, part personal belief. It sums up my perspective, that while I DO NOT believe in an afterlife, eternal life, or anything of the sort, I DO believe that I am part of the universe and will continue to exist as part of the universe even after I have died. And when the sun dies, the Earth ends, and everything that we know as Nature, will be thrown to stars. There's a possibility that something from Earth will one day create life on other worlds. Now, that is all just science, of course, and that's not very interesting for art.

So, I instead used the song to create an atmosphere that I'd imagined - A Comic Cathedral. That of the universe as a spiritual place made up of both reality and spirit. I conjured my version of space ambient. I conjured my version of a literal cloister of monks chanting the lyrics. All of this surrounded by Earthly metal, of course. Because I really like metal.

The lyrics will not be in the CD booklet because I wanted this album to be much more obscure and amorphous. So, with this in mind I was able to create many of my own words and experimental phrasing. At one point, I thought to make every song title one long blended word similar to "CosmiCathedraLumination", but that felt a bit silly. So, please feel free to create your own words when hearing the track and experience your own Cosmic Cathedral Illumination.
