In 2008 the band released its Magnum Opus entitled The Serpent’s Manifolds (2008) unleashing an unprecedented attack of post-modern symphonic black metal. The album is an occult musical journey in the wonders of the stars, the coils of human mind, the construction of self and the mysticism of chaotic structures.

Irreversible
Transcending Bizarre? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chaos rules once applied
Thousand principles brought in life all these creatures
"Gloria! Gloria!"
Countless shapes, colours, species
Gathered to obey your command
Chaos devoured all individual wills and
Heaven and hell in cosmic strict elegance
Coils unfolded shaping mosaic bizarre
Creating heaven and hell in cosmic strict elegance.
Never free to ignore them
Discipline in it's purest form
Past and future in a withering sky
"Gloria! Gloria!"
Nothing could be like it was then
From an end will occur different start?
Chaining my mind to these idiot conception
Vanished in dusk, aeons dusk
Heaven and hell in cosmic strict elegance
Coils unfolded shaping mosaic bizarre
Creating heaven and hell in cosmic strict elegance
State of lifeless matter
Where freedom lies dead
CHAOS
The TERMINUS AD QUEM
Of all!
"Gloria! Gloria!"
Nothing could be like it was then...
The lyrics in Transcending Bizarre?'s song Irreversible are complex and beg for interpretation. The song talks about coming back through life and ascending, where chaos once ruled but was replaced by principles that brought life to all creatures. The creatures are of countless shapes, colors, and species, and they obey the command of the holder of the principles. The chorus screams "Gloria! Gloria!" as a sign of praise to the one who created and controls everything.
The song goes on to talk about how this cosmic strict elegance created heaven and hell, and no one is free to ignore it. Discipline is in its purest form, and the past and future are withering in a sky that reminds us of our transience. Despite the success of the principles, the past can never be recaptured, and different opportunities will arise. However, the song reminds us that our minds remain chained to these idiotic concepts and are never truly free.
The song ends by reminding us that freedom is dead in the state of lifeless matter because chaos reigns supreme, and it is the Terminus Ad Quem of all. The last words of the chorus, "Gloria! Gloria!" signal that amidst all the chaos, there is still a force controlling everything.
