Star’s End is the longest and most sonically diverse track of Intrøspect’s entire discography to date, and tells the story of spiritual awakening and enlightenment - finding a deeper purpose in the creative process of transforming life experience into beauty through art. This is the purpose we live for as artists; the whole reason Intrøspect exists in the first place - our mission statement.

LYRICS
I came across the wreckage of foregone empires
I knew that stone could never hold the stories that must be told
Deep within that ruin dwelled a guardian in white
And the seer spoke to me; “This is where you’re meant to be”
On the path to beauty
These may just be melodies images and words
but they point to what can’t be named
A formless and divine fate, this is how we remember what we are
Space and time intertwine, as words leap from my mind
On the path to beauty templed by the light of dawn, illuminate the way
Resonate, a higher vision, illuminate the way
Floating, dreaming
At last, I’m coming home to eternity
Floating, dreaming
At last, I’m coming home
We’re trying to be heard, so much more than words
They rise from deep inside
Beyond you or I
We are more than this, the earthbound ashes of stars
Love is stronger than death
So this is not the end of the sacred dance that you are
I’m in love with this masterpiece
So grateful for the air in my lungs and the light of the midnight sun
I’m not faithless anymore!
“… And Everything In Between” was a great introduction to the band, and after having listened to it 2975295 times in a relatively short while I could appreciate “Artificial Void” (which is perhaps a bit more intricate?) better. Alice M.
Me encanta este album porque refleja el gran esfuerzo y dedicacion que Daniels ha hecho en su carrera, y se nota lo mucho que le gusta. Las personas no se comprenden al 100% entre realidades, pero la música es un lenguaje indescriptible. Felicidades Dan, te lo has ganado. dxgrid
Very ambient only slightly existing metal influences and so exactly the music I like.
Great vocals despite a bit of unnecessary grunting on one track.
A really good album. Boris Stalf
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform.
Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail
