g4nd4lf Scott Lawlor's review persuaded me to purchase this Masterpiece. Wings of an Angel is a mad scientist and his work is irresistible. Favorite track: Platonic Self-Control.

Mr_Lamppost This is an interesting collection of contrasts.

Cover image: Complex with much to explore.

Poem: Dark and brooding.

Music:
One-Sided Friend Zone. Even with the synthetic wind suggesting openness the half heard elements give a real sense of claustrophobia.

Platonic Self-Control. Calm with a hint of hidden mystery

Favorite track: Platonic Self-Control.

PadraigC I love the slowly unfolding multi-layered first track. The second track has a darker, more brooding vibe, it took me a bit to warm to it, after the light and brighter first one. Love that cover art too. Favorite track: One-Sided Friend Zone.

Scott Lawlor platonic self-control is a standout track with it's mystical vibe and sonic explorations of gothic cathedral spaces.
I love the way that the multiple layers complexly orbit around each other for this fantastic 34 minutes of imagination. Favorite track: Platonic Self-Control.

about

I embody the enmeshed ugly truth
That's hidden by false smiles and pretty youth.
I am the ugliness that hides behind
The mask of beauty that you all pretend.

I am the murk and mire that dwells within
The hearts of those who seem so pure and clean.
I am the evil that lurks beneath
The surface of what you think you see.

I am the ugliness that you all fear
But cannot face because you're too full of cheer.
I am the truth that you all try to hide
But cannot escape, no matter how hard you try.

Of Beauty and of Truth, a pair
Of twin-born sisters, one is fair,
With cheek of rose and brow of snow,
The other wan and sad and low.

On Beauty's cheek the blushes play,
And in her eyes the sunshine stay;
But Truth has sorrow on her brow,
And in her eyes the shadows flow.

A grotesque, enmeshed, ugly truth,
Incarnate in a hideous youth.
A satyr, with a demon's face,
And yet a woman's in its place.

A body, like a beast of prey,
With great, red lips and teeth that play
With every movement, like a snake,
To tempt the onlooker's gaze.

A soul that is a burning fire,
That sears and scorches all it tires,
And leaves a trail of blackened pain
Behind it, like a funeral train.

A mind that is a labyrinth,
Wherein the lost soul wanders on,
And never finds the way out,
But sinks at last in endless doubt.

This is the truth Incarnate,
This is the monster of my mind,
This is the thing that haunts me still,
And drives me to the land of disquiet.

I cannot kill it, I cannot drive it out,
It is a part of me, and I of it.
It is my shadow, and I am its,
And we must live together in symbiose,
till we die still.

about

Wings Of An Angel Israel

My own identity feels like a construct, a collection of roles and personas worn like so many masks. Who am I, really?

Perhaps in the end, we are all just characters in someone else's novel, puppets dancing on strings we cannot see.
