6): Hardcore band from Bruchsal ( http://www.siteworld.de/ascension )
Ascension was formed in summer 1998. One year later the "BREAK THESE CHAINS" - Demo was released. The "ONE SHOT IN HEAVEN" - DemoCD came out in 2001. After three years of playing shows they gone back to studio in 2004 and recorded the "ASCENSION" - CD.
7): Perhaps lesser-known during the "holy terror" wave of the 90's, Ascension (from Cleveland, OH - probably the "holy terror" capital of the world simply due to Integrity's presence) was another band whose relationship to hardcore was fairly minimal from a musical standpoint, as their riffing was very directly influenced by straight up thrash metal - while still retaining a certain level of that undeniably effective 90's chug. And believe me, they more than earned their status under the "holy terror" banner through a raging assimilation of awesomely apocalyptic artwork, bitter lyrical themes, and even by quoting Anton LaVey on the back cover of this CD, "The Years of Fire", which was their 1996 debut. While both of the band's records were great, there's a certain level of unhinged energy and aggression on the debut that always stuck with me a little more, and the opening track, "Transit", is an outright fucking classic - easily the band's finest hour. Seven tracks, barely under 30 minutes... they just tear through and leave it at that. It's a quick listen, but one that still deserves a nod even today. Ascension guitarist Matt DeVries and bassist Jason Hager later went on to Chimaira (though Hager only played on their first EP)
Ascension

Grey Light Sibling
Ascension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounded by lethal light
Dreaming, undead, seeing none
Blindly moving towards a fixed sun
Poisoned by the love of god
In his golden cellars you rot
The dreamwinds of an apparent eden
Call for no resistance
You have learned how to breath
Now learn how to lie
You can not as you want?
You will not as you could!
The chains that lay around your neck
Are too heavy to resist
Resist to struggle
The chains of life
Will you do as you believe?
When flesh swallows dreams
When the lie suffocates your breath
You manifest
I reveal you
I welcome you
From the depths of my heart I detest you
Oh aplha almighty
A thousand wounds to heal
Alpha almighty
A thousand hearts to steal
Grey light surrounds your mundane halo
No fire to be seen
Sacred keeper of the kosmik order
Bow your head in shame
Your tongue tells no truth
Your skin never touched fire
Your ears never heard the voice
Of the One to aspire
I reveal you
I welcome you
From the depths of my heart I despise you
Guardian of their prisons
Seven skies so blue
I reveal you
I welcome you
In grey mirrors
I am you
The song Grey Light Sibling by Ascension depicts the struggle of an individual who has been trapped in a dark labyrinth, where he is surrounded by a lethal light. The person is in a state of undead, dreaming and seeing none. He is blindly moving towards a fixed sun, poisoned by the love of God, and is rotting in his golden cellars. The dreamwinds of an apparent Eden are calling for no resistance, and the person has learned how to breathe but now needs to learn how to lie. The chains around his neck are too heavy to resist, and he is struggling to do as he believes.
The lyrics reveal the singer's detest towards the individual, who seems to be a sacred keeper of the kosmik order. There is grey light surrounding the mundane halo of the person, and there is no fire to be seen. The individual's tongue tells no truth, his skin has never touched fire, and his ears have not heard the voice of the One to aspire. The singer welcomes the individual from the depths of his heart but despises him as well. The guardian of their prisons is now revealed, and there are seven skies so blue. The singer declares that he is the grey mirrors and that he is the individual.
Line by Line Meaning
Enshrined in darkened labyrinths
Trapped in a complex maze of darkness
Surrounded by lethal light
Enclosed by harmful brightness
Dreaming, undead, seeing none
In a dreamlike state, lifeless and without vision
Blindly moving towards a fixed sun
Advancing towards an unchangeable destiny
Poisoned by the love of god
Hurt by the affection of a divine being
In his golden cellars you rot
Decaying in the luxurious captivity of an entity
The dreamwinds of an apparent eden
The illusions of a false paradise
Call for no resistance
Demand no fight back
You have learned how to breath
You have mastered the art of being alive
Now learn how to lie
Time to acquire the skill of deception
You can not as you want?
Can't do what you wish?
You will not as you could!
You refuse to try your best!
The chains that lay around your neck
The limiting forces that restrain you
Are too heavy to resist
Too burdensome to oppose
Resist to struggle
Try hard to fight back
The chains of life
The shackles that bound existence
Will you do as you believe?
Will you act upon your faith?
When flesh swallows dreams
When materialistic desire takes over aspirations
When the lie suffocates your breath
When fibs prevent you from being truthful
You manifest
You initiate
I reveal you
I uncover your identity
I welcome you
I greet your arrival
From the depths of my heart I detest you
I loathe you with my entire being
Oh aplha almighty
Oh all-powerful beginning
A thousand wounds to heal
Countless injuries to be cured
Alpha almighty
Dominant creator
A thousand hearts to steal
Numerous souls to be won over
Grey light surrounds your mundane halo
Dull illumination encompasses your ordinary aura
No fire to be seen
No passion is present
Sacred keeper of the kosmik order
Revered protector of universal arrangement
Bow your head in shame
Be ashamed of yourself
Your tongue tells no truth
Lies spill from your mouth
Your skin never touched fire
You have not experienced intense emotion
Your ears never heard the voice
You have ignored the call
Of the One to aspire
Of the entity to look up to
Guardian of their prisons
Protector of their confinement
Seven skies so blue
Multiple lofty realms
In grey mirrors
Amidst dull reflections
I am you
I and you are alike
