Astral Corridors

by Gonemage

supported by

Kris Faust Garry is the kind of artist who delivers both quantity AND quality: working on many projects with a consistently great (and varied) output.

Gonemage is probably my favorite, Master of Disgust and Handheld Demise in particular are freaking masterpieces, and some of the most fun and interesting music I've personally heard in recent years.

I'm excited for the full release of Astral Corridors, it's likely to land a spot in my top albums of 2023.

j-kep Another quality release, this one trading much of the whimsy of previous Gonemage albums for a more intimidating, violent edge. There's still plenty of quirk and fun video game touches, but this one is dark and mean, and it works fabulously. Favorite track: Purple Lurker Bedside.

1.	Dream Surfing in the Astral Corridors 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Entropy Awake in pitch black Abandoned throne, neglected realm Corridors flicker Fantastical visions Paint the dreams Merging realities Remote viewing connected to my soul Invigorated beyond measure A fertile network of nightmares Neural channels, all ensnared So connected Fuel hypersomnolence Dreams infected Mind drip feed indulgence Slumber Cosmic amusement Feeding me Tentacles growing Don't wake yet
2.	Melded Together Like Mech and Flesh 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Otherworldly canvas Paint wet from dream slicing Cruising proxy underground seas and tropical islands Expanding all this world can see Hindrance of flesh and bone Hologram spirit, mind of stone Bruised limb, bristle thicken Bruised limb, paintbrush meld Armored ascension Meld together like mech and flesh Fuse power Seek dimensions Not of this time Not of this place Phase Phase Veil of The One Negated by a wet dream Wake in ooze and cum and piss Plasma fucked into a state of confusion No bliss, no magic Ensorcelled by my bristles Piercing missile from another timeline
3.	Dimensional Breach 1991 02:30	lyrics	buy track
First I must reach 1991 Proxy a bystander's dream Caressing the tombstone Drip purple in the grave Of The Curator's past life Evoke, death, dream Show me the way to Saint Succipio I must reach my counterpart And coalesce Descend Descend into this scape of illusion In the shadows, I am unseen Flicker to the house The House on the corner

Gallblast Bardlock, Artemy Spectrex! I come from another time to entreat you Come with me, come with me In silent retreat Wires crossed YLB emerges from a corner Take me instead, their flesh cannot cross over so easily Who are you? What are you? Man made machine, traveling contraption Timeless companion, you will suffice Timeless companion, you will suffice I shall join you In astral debauchery Depart now before Rex sees Trespasser Invoker Nightmare god? Your mortal analog cannot leave
5.	Phasing Souls 02:38	lyrics	buy track
In the in-between The portals sour Spirit and machine intertwined Maligned in the crossfire Battle with ghosts, sprites of old Miasmic haunters caught in time Latching to signs of life Desperation Terror Paint swirled cosmic error Circuits fired Circuits fired Crossing through unknown territory We're no strangers to nether realms Plowing through unknown territory We're no strangers to nether realms Allow possession, take these souls with us
6.	Nightmare Cartridges 01:49	lyrics	buy track
Like fungus molding trees I mutate straying further from her vision Giving all of my essence To indulgence With an android at my side, I don't need Humanity or a mundane life Create me a game For humans to play But only imprison oppressors in shame Like the Dust Merchant I'll siphon souls While he chose misanthropy I'll plot for vengeance cold Port the predators into cartridges Pit the abused with weapons Take revenge into their own hands
7.	Dark Channelers in the Arcade 02:34	lyrics	buy track
Flash of light Possession of flesh Possession of mind Possession of soul Possession of time Dark channeler Encumbered controller Dark channeler Encumbered Multi-screen armor Reflecting fear Channel 4000 Reprogram the level tier Saving progress Escaping dungeons Burying weapons For future selves Possession of flesh Possession of mind Possession of soul Possession of time Dark channeler Encumbered controller Dark channeler Encumbered Death-defying glove Enchanted with paint Small token from above Worthy as a new mage Dark channeler Replay the game Dark channeler Appease the astral plane

9.	Slime Voltage (Static Umaagos) 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Return of the slime lord Return to the junkyard Unstable current Heaping pile Now juiced with corpses Of humans and undead Harmonic eruption From the planet of waste Unscrupulous agents Of disgust and abandon Giving prominence to Slime Pain of electric malevolence Current down the spineless Energy sapped Undefeated by time Waste not your plea Enter my ooze arena Filled with junk and decay Step into the bright lights Of a basketball game Junkyard Reanimators Versus Human Garbage Two points, three And 1 with the thief Stealing energy from the poor Punishes you with an eternal scheme
10.	Purple Lurker Bedside 03:02	lyrics	buy track
Flick of the switch A night terror Delighted eyes Of the purple lurker Slip Into a gaze of depths Drown Until your last breath Crawl out From underneath Flick of the switch A night terror Slippery skin Of the purple lurker Drift Into the ocean floor Swell Until you breathe no more Crawl out From underneath Dragged out From underneath Smother Embraced one by one Tentacles surround Embraced one by one Wet dream abound Fuse Absorbed by this entity A soul transfer complete No more human dreams But a night terror in heat
11.	Shuffled and Buried Into an Endless Loop 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Shuffled and buried into an endless loop Shuffled and buried into a dreamless soup Spells unanswered Loops uncountered Pitfall of power Vortex forever Pitfall of power Vortex forever Fold Trapped in a game A deck of cards Weaving through planes Concession cannot be obtained Pitfall of power Vortex forever Pitfall of power Vortex forever Sleeved in plastic Contained by magic Limbs flattened Essence enchanted Endless shuffling Bound by a ruling Forgotten by many Now lost to infinity Undetected by human eyes But hiding in plain sight Shuffled and buried Shuffled and buried No one can save me No one should save me

about

Galimgim is taken aback by The Curator's swift act of disapproval (Handheld Demise), and while completely absorbed in a grand denial, a swell of magic glows immensely from the paintbrush as it reaches a nexus of transformative power. Galimgim was unintentionally exiled to a realm known as the Astral Corridors, a neglected realm with an endless array of dreams from any timeline and reality on full display. Setting anger aside, he realizes his power has vaulted to that of a demigod, fully able to observe and interact with other dreams as if changing a TV channel or switching out video game cartridges. This dream-surfing becomes a habitual source of mischief. Even his form continues to warp through this ascension; his left hand now morphed into fully realized purple tentacles while his right hand melds with the paintbrush as if it were a symbiote mech-armor weapon.

The Curator is oblivious of this development as she sensed no bearing of where her banishing spell sent him. His essence is no longer detectable in this timeline. Meanwhile, he plunges into Cara Neir's reality seeking new sights and thrills, swiftly gaining a companion in an android named YLB (from Cara Neir's Phantasmal album).

With the help of YLB, the phasing of souls into dream-generated video games becomes the next step in the Gonemage misadventure.
