Jordan Vauvert Une pratique ancestrale de bataille consistait à mordre dans le cœur de son adversaire en espérant acquérir sa force ; alors, en dévorant celui de Socrate dans le premier album, Maïeutiste a gagné une forme de sagesse et ça se ressent dans Veritas. Cet opus est plus court mais aussi plus condensé, se concentrant davantage sur l'esthétique progressive de son black metal ; quand Maïeutiste décide de partir ailleurs, ça n'en devient que plus percutant. Veritas est un album pour ainsi dire parfait ! Favorite track: Infinitus.

YomaBarr FFO highly intelligent and perfectly executed metal. Another amazing find of a band I didn't know before. Don't make my mistake, don't miss out.
And after you have reveled in it go back to the self titled. It'll be probably best spent 80' of your life.

Betsaleel Fort d’une composition subtile et d’une esthétique flamboyante, ce second album de Maïeutiste se présente comme un petit bijou pour les amateurs de Black Metal inspiré et créatif. Mêlant les différents genres musicaux et brouillant les références, son écoute est autant un flot lyrique qu’un déchiffrage mystérieux qui se perpétue jusque dans les visuels Favorite track: Universum.

Veritas 07:14
Nebula, Perceive my soul ! Star dust, Rob my substrate ! I have traveled astral furrows, indomitable strata, Carried the core to the Graal, the Almighty. My frozen heart, tireless vocation. Life and Death are no more, as the journey. (timeless, ceaseless) Kla pa sa na to ley tsa, vey sa na tey, Klo po sa na taï de yi li sah, Vo ka dey sa na tey, kan dey li sey nek tah, Ro lih ey sat, ro lih ey sat, Po li sak tey, Klo no sa na taï, klo si no tra, Ye ri tas, ye ri tas. My frozen heart, Life and Death are no more, as the journey. Opened, As the crevasse! Perceived, It aspires me, binds me. I engulf myself in the heap. My skull is cracked still, Why this Bethel stands here, Which keeps his opacity? Nebula, What is the answer? Nebula, Where is the key?

Infinitus 07:44
Fool ! And now, in this pale void, you derive. Still, you heard cantatas which bruise your cavity. Manifest ! Undeniable clarity ! But which is one? --------------------------------------------------- 0 Rise Combine Spread around Gather the unbound Scatter shining fragrances into immensity Let us unbind the tough, the fleeing, the frantic, a tantrum for eternal radiance Could I see Which is the one? Could I reach Which is the one? ---------------------------------------------------- Step by step you tried, Stranded and corrupted marks, Egress compressed and untied, Step by step you tried, To slip away Confusing landscapes, High and low alike shapes, Step by step you tried, To slip away the round. Mesmerise infinitus Combine Spread around Gather the unbound Scatter shining fragrances into immensity Let us unbind the tough, the fleeing, the frantic, a tantrum for eternal radiance Mesmerisinfinitesimilaritiesomerizing Emphasis infinitus Everlasting principum The tough, the fleeing, the frantic, a tantrum for eternal radiance Mesmerisinfinitesimilaritiesomerizing Emphasis infinitus Everlasting principum Scatter shining fragrances into immensity ---------------------------------------------------- This can’t be tautology, That leads me here. Unformed shapes mirroring void, Can’t endlessly drowned into none, If there is word, For a thought, There is a spark, Into mist shines! ---------------------------------------------------- Many means one ! ---------------------------------------------------- Multitude retains in unity. Every clues in sanctity. Mesmerise infinitus Emphasis infinitus Everlasting principum shading the One by means of space and time!

Universum 07:37
I will speak for those masks of aphasia. Be afraid in this hemicycle to the weight of the words spoken, Those who ignore it shall not be exempt. No struggle is more devastating than between the praticle and the dreamer, the cynical and the stargazer. The sighted, the unperceived embrace themselves into the unfathomable, whom we call misery. It burdens the mindful and the dazed, it tears apart our unicity. Mistery. It devours words from arches of our beings. Universum, a word for a thought, Universum, where does it rise? Is there around us or inside within us? Je ne suis qu’une ombre vacillante dans ton esprit, dans l’infini.

Vocat 15:28
Exploring sezam ! Abandoning notches ! Immersing portals ! Heading forward and backward ! Invariable galleries, duplicated crests, endlessly, Interminable, gaps and columns, scriptures and writings, unfathomable air, hexagonals libraries. We signify By our assembly, we have the absolute Truth, unequivocal. Revealing itself in bottomless chasms, thee should not be altered, thee should not be corrupted, thee should not be degraded; Unequivocal Truth. We declare, infinite Then emerges the horizon to endless possibilities. All the shapes, motives. Our axioms, futile. We proclaim None was, none will be, without destiny. The book of all books is memory. Holy in signs Holy in signs Holy in signs Invariable galleries, duplicated crests, endlessly Interminable, gaps and columns, scriptures and writings, unfathomable air, hexagonals libraries. « You who read me-are you certain you understand my language? »

Veritas II 14:30
I have traveled astral furrows, indomitable strata, Carried the core, carried the core, There is no repentance, in despair. There is no convergence in despair. There is no obedience in despair. There is no love in despair.

about

Through a poetic approach, our new offering Veritas, deals with the notion of forbidden wisdom and the essence of the concept of Truth itself. Unveiling a baroque esthetic, this album makes the promise of a new travel through the limbo of the mind.
