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.

The Beginning
Transcending Bizarre? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the ocean of void
An infant burst into tears
He knows his future drama
A miracle, a wonder
No one has seen before
This cocoon carries sadly,
A miracle, a wonder
No one has seen before...
[Chorus:]
"God is a fairytale
Where humans fail and evil prevails
Your wisdom soon will spread
As you cross the land
Cause you are divine"
In a blink of the cosmic eye
The earth was meant to change
All life is futile now
But will be meaningful soon
Infant Descarte is harmless
His will is clandestine
[Chorus:]
"God is a fairytale
Where humans fail and evil prevails
Your wisdom soon will spread
As you cross the land
Cause you are divine"
Thousand years had passed since the Great Bang
Minds on Earth were stale and miserable
In the spiritual field no progress had been made
But DNA evolves and seeks revenge
Thousand years have passed
And DNA seeks revenge
[Descarte:]
"Who am I
What is this?
Am I the same with all things?
I have some limbs, saliva,
Some eyes (that) can see around
I'm not the same with this
I am supreme, divine
We are seemingly all humans
Just wait and you will see
Just wait and you will suffer"
As soon as his 'I' came into being
He realised his oddness
The earth puppets thought that they were free
But he knew he was nothing more than nothing
The key is to know one's self
And he already knew more by comprehending his nothingness
The song "The Beginning" by Transcending Bizarre? is a story of an infant who is born and knows his fate. The beginning of the song presents this child as a miracle and a wonder, crying and carrying the burden of bad news. The chorus of the song speaks of God being a fairytale and that the infant is destined to spread his wisdom and divine nature across the land.
The second verse brings the listener thousands of years into the future, where DNA has evolved and seeks revenge. The child, now named Descarte, questions his existence and realizes his oddness. The earth puppets believe they are free, but Descarte knows that he is nothing more than nothingness. The song concludes by stating that the key is to know oneself, and Descarte has already accomplished this through comprehending his nothingness.
Overall, the song is a metaphor for the struggle to understand one's purpose and existence in the world. It questions the notion of God and posits that humans must look inward to find answers to their existence.

Once the creation became aware of its own existence as an individual with unique qualities
He realised his oddness
It was clear that the creation was different from everything else that existed
The earth puppets thought that they were free
People on earth thought they were in control of their lives and their world
But he knew he was nothing more than nothing
The creation felt insignificant in the grand scheme of things
The key is to know one's self
A central principle is to understand one's own identity and place in the world
And he already knew more by comprehending his nothingness
In realizing how insignificant he was, the creation already understood more about himself and the world around him
