Ultra Heaven 08:04
lyrics
Who do you think you are to carry away my ghost? Should have thought twice before that endeavor Who do you cry for when you overbend? Crossing a stretching path where lies are left behind Patternal bystanders gather in profane exhibitions Bathe in ether springs, rejoice the birth of life Lustful sentinels prowl, looking for anomalies Calculate and derivate them to the other side Preventing the corrosion from bringing on extintion Breathe the æna to be completely satisfied Breathe the æna to arrive inside ultra heaven Who do you cry for when you overbend? Halfway in, that's how it is now Halfway out will never be again Let it in, embrace the outside All you have to do is to pretend Pretend you're her and you'll feel alive again Let her feel the flood coming Don't you dare look the other way Arise, chin up and grab my hand Lift the storm and bring it to an end Halfway in, that's how it is now Halfway out will never be again Let it in, embrace the outside All you have to do is to pretend Pretend you're her and you'll feel alive again Let her feel the flood coming Don't you dare look the other way Arise, chin up and grab my hand Lift the storm and bring it to an end

Primordial Echoes 09:04
lyrics
Be critical, a permeable being For love hovers low At the center Swallows the days Blows a breeze with haste Across the barrens Washes the soil Of foul interference Waits for closure And hopes for a change Limbs wrap around the kind Witnesses the goodbye with a sigh Suffocates in the miasma Waits for the end of time With eyes in the sky The embryo cries for another day Maker makes to coast Barefoot yet still breathing Nothing left to do but to contemplate the wind Troubled blows the breeze Watches the leaves drying Nothing left to care but what's unvital Sets like the shrouding of a life Inanimate and persuading Leaving the body to the earth Delivered to it's outcome With eyes in the sky The embryo cries for another way With eyes in the sky The embryo pries in primordial echoes Courage has been lying somewhere With eyes in the sky The embryo cries for another way With eyes in the sky The embryo pries in primordial echoes

Permeable God 12:04
lyrics
Eye on eye, in a realistic way Dreams of tenderness warm the daylight Strengthens the will to push thru So invaluably better than mundane advice Carved are, in mind, the caring faces Of loving strangers present in the eye The very least for a whole life alone Embraced a whole life in love But here all men come to be fooled By the beauty of a wormlove sun Down to swallow our peri-feral vision And hard earned breath Down to strip a man of his element Shedding cold tears for the one Becoming a permeable god Flying by all the senseless mortals Looking the doubtful divines in the eyes Made love to their sight, turned flame to water I know what you are made of You bounce right thru me I see your insides Your ways won't turn the wheel Striped of empathy, to become aware Striped of compassion, embrace pain so eagerly Now, to be permeable Watching from a distance Grow to see things differently Embrace pain so eagerly Striped of empathy, to become aware Striped of compassion, embrace pain so eagerly The very least for a whole life alone Embraced a whole life in love But here all men come to be fooled By the beauty of a wormlove sun Down to swallow our peri-feral vision And hard earned breath Down to strip a man of his element Shedding cold tears for the one Becoming a permeable god Flying by all the senseless mortals Looking the doubtful divines in the eyes Made love to their sight, turned flame to water A look is enough to unite two souls in love

Flow Of Human 04:04
lyrics
Are we safe without our bodies? All is blue and all comes back To make sure we don't forget What it means to be human Why would I care If this turned out to be the end? Why are you still here? Haven't I told you it was enough?

The Abyssal Æna 02:04

Transient Meaning 11:04
lyrics
You lied, you lied What did you expect of me? You lied... What were you thinking of when you lied? Now that you've been safely taken You should know that I cared And while you spiral to the abyss Perhaps you're still unaware You're dead... You're dead... If you ever come back You'll be back as burned as I am You should have known better There's no room for love in lust You Lied, you lied, you lied, you lied... Clouds rolled by, and you were getting more arrogant That was all my mind as I saw your eyes roll back Now face the consequence Tired of waiting for calming impulses Bend and prepare to face the bottom Clouds rolled by, and you were getting more arrogant That was all my mind as I saw your bloodshot eyes roll back Trust me dear, it was much easier to love than to despise But clouds rolled by and now two caring souls decay Trust me dear, even I'm not certain if this was the better way

Too Soon 04:04
lyrics
One day you'll be alone All you care for will either die or flee And you're not getting any younger now Escapism is truly your only friend I wish that I was wrong Warmness would feel nice for a change Wherever you go, it's already a part of someone else For now you're safe but you feel the cold outside Sooner or later all of them freeze in the blizzard And you'll be swimming in cold suspension Sure would be nice to turn back time So you'd stop reaching for the void and stillness To start caring for the ones who gave you life You're inherently the epicenter of death Yet, I wish I could spread life like you did Still you're condemned to be the only left

Surface 10:04
lyrics
Being back home Fast-light flashes come and go Wrapped in tragedy Young man cries for the screen Memories of a living tree Now pass by as it succumbs to him Young girl dies in a foreign place Yet care comes like hurt goes Lonely arms, pledge and open to the earth All is blue and all comes back eventually Swimming against the tide, another way Memories come, rememberance goes Nature is violent and unpredictable

about

"Who lied to you?"
~ Lying Figure

⌬

At a very young age I took an interest in sharks. A great part of my childhood was dedicated to collecting information and drawing them, and today I can probably still name most of the known species and a great deal of other interesting facts. I wanted to be a marine biologist, but life didn't take that course and I'm headed another way. The artwork for "Ultra Heaven" features perhaps the most well known - the Great White. Movies are movies, but the rising trend of sensationalist, uninformative documentaries portraing these animals in an ill manner has been extremely detrimental to the conservation of the species. Take the time to inform yourself about these graceful, yet powerful creatures and to clear any erroneous preconception you might have. Sharks are in danger, and their biggest foe is how we view them in the wrong light.

On another note, making "Ultra Heaven" was good fun and I hope it's something you find worth of your time!

Special Thanks:

A big thanks to Inês Lacerda for singing in "Too Soon"; and to Johny "Ozzy" for providing some neat breathing samples for "Lower Proxy". Also, to José Brås for offering to let me borrow his 7-String guitar.

To my Family and Friends.

Production, Mixing, Composition, Lyrics, Programming, Performance and Artwork: Duarte Miguel
Additional Performance (Vocals - "Too Soon"): Inês Lacerda
Additional Performance (Raw breathing sample - "Lower Proxy"): Johny "Ozzy"

How was Ultra Heaven made?
Vocals: Recorded inside my closet, with a cheap white-label microphone;
Guitar: Jackson JS11 Dinky, played through a Boss KATANA 50 amp;
Drum: Programmed to the best of my ability;
Bass: Downtuned 7 String guitar I borrowed from my friend José, played through the same Boss KATANA 50 amp;
Keyboards: Various VSTs, played with a common desktop's keyboard.
Where and how? This record was recorded in Rock Bottom. The absence of light, overall loneliness and the head trauma caused by extreme pressure contributed to a perpetual sense of confusion and detachment, to the point I forgot how to write the word "already" correctly somewhere in the artwork book that comes with this record.

Recorded from the 2nd of September, 2019, until the 13th of September, 2020
