Definition 00:59
dark matter halo. that which surrounds all that we are. dark matter halo. the vague expanse beyond our definition. that which encapsulates our galaxy. that which rests just outside one's view, eternally there but never known. dark matter halo. that which hides the horrors in the cold.

Out of all the people in the world From the rockers to the punks, the good boys and girls You are the one that matters most to me Make me want to scurry just to see your face Dancing past the limit in a massive rave You're the one that fills me up with glee You make me feel so free Sunlight Bounces off your hair Rays flying everywhere Without a care There isn’t any shame There isn’t any pain When I’m by your side All of my cares just drift away
3.
I feel like I was supposed to be here with someone But I can’t seem to remember who it was I feel like I should be the shoulder for a friend’s comfort But I’m left struggling to be sure Who was it? Was it her or him? Was it them? Was it a bout of anger and rage? What was it they were so mad about? It’s gonna drive me insane Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay You’ll bound to recall them another day We need your help on a project now, come join the fight Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay You’ll bound to recall them another day We need your help to realize this To see the light I wonder my friend has gotten off to She’s the wind in my sails I ask around to see if anyone’s seen her But they try to remember to no avail "Who is that? Is it someone we know? Should we care? Is she a guest or simply brand new?" What are you all talking about? She’s been here just as long as you Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay We’re bound to recall her another day We need your help on a project now, come join the fight Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay We’re bound to recall her another day We need your help to realize this To see the light Stormy weather’s movin’ in A lone figure on the horizon Does anyone else see that person Or is it just me? Maybe Lila’s back from another walk Jack don’t care, he would sneer and balk I should go out to greet her, and meet her She’s waiting outside

I can feel it oh, ooh woah oh i can feel it telling me come i can feel it the pain is all gone i can feel it my fighting is done i can feel it, oh oh calling me home --- do you remember my loving embrace don't you forget though there were bad times we faced we beat them all until we were done We never quit Until the day was won So I tell you Remain a stalwart heart If you get thrown Right back at the start Then just keep on Maintain and compart Until you feel me, oh calling you home --- don't you worry, it isn't the end I tell you truth, we'll see each other again The cross seems so much farther away But just keep on walking till the end of your days I'll be waiting on the other side Keep your head high, this isn't time to cry Someday, you'll be the one to cease your roam then you'll feel it, oh oh calling you home
7.
I miss you I miss you My friend My friend I loved you Like a sister I never had I wish I wish, I wish I told you everything Before he took you away And left me with nothing I ache, it's a funny ache Curious and constant Like something is growing That should not be there I’m so aware Of this pain Words to entertain My soul, my burning flame As it cools to the ashes that I’ll leave behind I was there for them I was there for them I was there for them Where are they for me? I was true to them I was happy for them I was safe for them What are they for me? They took you away Took you away And left me here to die Alone In this old cage In this old trap that I have to call a home They did not care for you Nor care for me Nor care for anyone else Who ends up in this nightmarish Place that never seems to end With the moaning and the screaming And the hurting and the sobbing And the god above please help me Escape from this horror that they cast me Into hell I fell Quite a long ways today I need to get Get back on track On the right track Okay Come on Okay
8.
Digital rust just under the crust covers me from the rain A shelter made of bars meant to hide the scars from a different kind of pain Where do I go from here What is their master plan? What did I do to anger them to be ejected from the clan? I'm ill Weak willed It hurts that I'm disavowed I feel so real but I'm just a fake identity now My skin It peels I'm feeling home in my niche of hell I spit I melt Out the cage but still in the cell --- Stuck in the Machine Stuck in the Machine The shadows of your mind house such sweet, sweet sorrow Can't get me out of my head Stuck in the Machine Stuck in the Machine The shadows of your mind house such, such sweet, sweet sorrow Can't get me out of my head

It always seemed like it was always meant to be You and I, friends until we died Then you came and went, left for Heaven sent The message that it was your time, and you never said goodbye Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine Maybe, you’re still around, waiting for you to be found Perhaps, this is just a game, and you won, and you’re waiting for me I have not reached that, all my attempts fall flat But maybe, maybe if I pray, I’ll see you again someday Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine Wherever you are, I hope that you’ll never mope Always feeling content, and you’re happy with no laments Whatever happens to me, it’ll be you I hope to see When my time has come, when my walk is done Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine Here we are at the cross again Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends But, you’ll go your own way I’ll go mine

This maze never ends All these twists and bends Destroying my purpose and direction Pass by the start again Confusion begins setting in Losing the will to explore these machinations The cell within I dwelled (been here before) The altar which I prayed from (to open the door) Run to the other side and witness it all the same All the same The darkness surrounding (the din it makes) Driving my senses (to the brink) I cannot escape this inexorable maze - Wake me up, wake me up Shake it from my brain Strike my face, feel my pain Repair what’s been undone Can’t rise up, can’t make out All the shapes that torment me Stroke my face, feel my shame And help me find peace, oh please - 4015 days Or somewhere along that time and space My body isn’t all that I am, not anymore Circuits, lights, and metal frames Weaker in the mind but a stronger aim Until I see the light that she saw, I must keep pressing forward I know all there is to know (about this place) I even know where (the exit lays) It’s only a matter of time before I take the route And step on out The darkness surrounding (the touch I crave) Driving my senses (to help me think) To finally escape this cradle of an early grave - Wake me up, wake me up Shake it from my brain Strike my face, feel my pain Repair what’s been undone Can’t rise up, can’t make out All the shapes that torment me Stroke my face, feel my shame And help me find peace, oh please

Welcome to the city Welcome to the city in your head Welcome to deceit Deceit in your head Built upon the backs of the dead you cast Sanctuary until they feel the pass Over in the corner is the bed in which I lay Concrete walls build mason-made halls The cries of the lost child roams them all Corruption is the name of the game I’ve had to play Welcome to the city, the city in your head Welcome to deceit, repeat until dead Nobody’s comin’ to save me No one will be sympathizing Welcome, do not pity me, don’t feel bad I said Welcome all the pain that keeps me well-fed Somebody’s going to brave through To seek the end of you I won’t be still I have my will I won’t stand by You need to fry

nameless ¿por qué me has olvidado faithless ¿por qué me tirar Déjame hablar para que entiendas. Déjame hablar para que pueda contar. Voy a gritar para que me consigas. --- you made her leave. you and your neglect. you made her disappear. my only friend in this god-forsaken place. left to pray at your altar. god, you're such a tease. you simply hid her corpse. so i wouldn't ever know. i never found her, i know i never will but i know i'll find you and you'll be here all alone. ¿por qué me has olvidado ¿por qué me tirar --- you must believe that you are the best. pretentiousness hides fear. you are so full so spoiled with the spark it's something i held dear. don't you misconcieve it's nothing against you. you have changed, i know. but while i've been down here i've done some changing too and it's time to come back whether it's with you or alone. ¿por qué me has olvidado ¿por qué me tirar --- usted hizo su permiso. usted y su abandono. usted hizo desaparecer.

Mechanical parts on my body Mechanical parts in my mind A steadiness in my corrupting As I am forced to combine The thoughts in my head are not mine but I cannot keep them away Is this what death feels like as I’m writhing in pain Shots of cold, running through my brain Difficult just to remain sane Lobotomize my weeping form I will not be scared anymore - This darkness will not change me I will not deign myself To be subservient Under it’s hateful belt It’s taken so much away from me I cry in the corner still But I will remain free I will keep my will Shots of cold, running through my brain Difficult just to remain sane Not so much effective as it was I will not relinquish my cause

I must not be thinkin' too clearly I must not be inside my head I must not, I must not, I must not Let you in Where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you yet Where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you just yet Where do you think you're going now? I'm not done with you just yet, no, no, no

HUNGER. 04:32
Starvation consumes my mind But my stomach never groans An endless pang of a need to find Something to ease my moans I need to nourish, I have to flourish I crave the sunny day My hunger rages, these palpitations Grow stronger as I waste away Why did I have to be the one That you tossed and decided to shun? What did I do to deserve The scorn that you constantly spun? Why did you take everything I had And toss it into the fire? Maybe the one I should become Is your demon if that’s what you desire - You will never feel my rage You will never hear my screams But you will understand What it means to feel unease - These walls tell me something new Something that’s never before been true They tell me you formed a crew That could beat everything I would do I shall replenish, All of them will perish In my righteous, holy flames The truths you seek that wish to speak You had denied, when you sought to blame - You will never feel my rage You will never hear my screams But you will understand What it means to feel unease

Pray at your altar I exist don't I I will be the one to strike you down

flesh and gnash and giving away meshed and clashed with the old body it hurts it hurts Stuck in the machine Stuck in the machine The shadows of your mind House such sweet, sweet sorrow Can't get me out of my head Stuck in the machine Stuck in the machine The shadows of your mind House such, such sweet, sweet sorrow Can't get me out of my head Forgo All that told You to die Like an animal You Go They owe You a life For the one they stole Bré: Babe, I’m comin’ for you Babe, I’m comin’ for you My mind’s made up Ain’t no going back through

I am the Reaper You know my name From the back of your mind You know this shame Now I have risen From my bare grave From your past, with no slack, I attack To thresh and maim You threw me in a cell, bolted all the doors Caved in all the open spaces then filled the holes You were so scared of me, full of hate for me, it was enraging And yet, it tore you up with blame You made sure that none of us could just simply return You recreated lives previously you had to burn I don’t just come here to end you for my selfish gain I do it for the ones that died, do it for the ones that I still hear cry For the ones that you never, ever felt pain Your god speaks now The lost is now found Your death without sound At the hands of me You’ll find the dead You’ll lose your head Your soul be damned To their eternity - I’m coming...I’m coming...I’m coming...I’m coming… - What is like to go back in time with the end goal to rectify? Mistakes were made and in a perfect space we would all be doing okay But, you screwed me, threw me under the bus when the gods weren’t feeling up To the task of refreshing me, fleshing me out anew the same way they had done for you I changed and evolved and mutated in a pattern that will surely be my end I can rest more easily in the eternal springs knowing you’re in there with me I changed and evolved and mutated in a pattern that will surely be my end I can rest more easily in the eternal springs knowing you’re in there with me - they look like me They feel like me sound like i could have been today It’s not their time But they will be mine What you made will suffer all the same, all the same They don’t know me But they will fear me When the Reaper calls to them someday You’re not as safe Jack, your own hate Brought this all upon yourself, it is your fate

Conglomeration, corporation Streamline the mind My only job anymore is to buffer the line I used to be a person of high standing and praise Now, I’m just a cog in the machine None of us matter over them, it’s killing me The company is better over individuality A consolidation of self is good for the boss But condemns us to hell with massive loss Is it any wonder why the numbers are slim And the general morale has become so grim? No one is happy when their signature’s wiped Replaced by a monolithic title slight I used to be somebody grand Until you locked me away, you’ve forced my hand I have a vision I’ll be acting on Come on, make your move, I’ll be waiting for you to go - Conglomeration, corporation Streamline the mind My only job anymore is to buffer the line I used to be a person of high standing and praise Now, I’m just a cog in the machine Conglomeration, corporation Streamline the mind My only job anymore is to buffer the line I used to be a person of high standing and praise Now, I’m just a cog in the machine - Corporation, corporation Conglomeration, conglomeration - Conglomeration, corporation Define my life My only wish anymore is an end to my strife I used to be somebody the boss thought highly of Now, I’m reduced to just another name and I’ve had enough If only I could break these shackles, they’re killing me If only I could express some more individuality My name is almost lost to the unending winds My name is Jack, and I’m ready to ascend Is it any wonder why we’re all so silent? Our names have become shameful for our biggest client One is better than the many segments we’ve been Operating as a single mute unit Associations built on a matter of ease To keep it all simple so they don’t have to think This isn’t the fate that I chose to weave I’m gonna make my move, and I’m waiting for my chance to glow - Conglomeration, corporation Streamline the mind My only job anymore is to buffer the line I used to be a person of high standing and praise Now, I’m just a cog in the machine - My name is Jack.

The sun will bear no more comfort for you. As the moon rises, all your fears will come true. The gates of hell have been opened and you’re in the queue. It’s been a long time coming for what you’ve accrued. The monster that you’ve made is hunting for their food. No good deed goes unpunished, and you’re overdue. - Do unto others is a bitch of a wolf Disguised as a friend in a sweater of wool Now it’s your turn to hear the yells Maybe you’ll see an old friend in there But, they’ll be too far gone to even care Maybe after long, in their experience you’ll share - I like my imperfections. - It was far too easy dragging, you away. The buildings that were full are now, cold and grey. You’ve tossed everyone you love into the deep unknown. All that’s left is a, withering Shell of an impotent, head of being. Hateful and petty, no, you’ll die alone. - Do unto others is a bitch of a wolf Disguised as a friend in a sweater of wool Now it’s your turn to hear the yells Instead of friends I’ll simply bind you to chairs I’ll beat you and choke you and then I’ll stare As the Shadows possess you as well - You're dying here. You're not going anywhere. Did you die out there? Proto-slime.

boom it's zerstorung, back again a wave of destruction comes on my whim pounding that hellsgate techno bass the sound waves of which will torch the place you left me back there, down to lie in the prison that you call the tunnel, mind The tunnel runs both ways, jackie guy next time you'll be the one who gets left behind i'm comin back on the attack i'll bring the pain, leavin all your blood stained over the slacks you changed into when you felt too good for me you see, my body was the first to go my mind followed suit and so I am left with a soul pocked with the places you shredded and left gaping holes
24.
you're rotting inside you've got the taste of formaldehyde systems are shutting down that you took for granted your state of decay is advancing my will to live is increasing one of these days you're gonna feel utterly rancid leaving me to die in the darkest tunnel trying to survive with what little gets funneled through the stone tube that I have to call my home but the light on the other end shines bright as much as you want to put up a fight you won't be rid of the plight you tried to disown --- and i'll fall and i'll fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness fall to my face and pray for a sweet death and i'll fall to the altar to look for an answer sing to creators that treat me like a cancer i will fall i'll fall --- you should have finished the job when you still had a bit of chance now you will see what it's like for someone to take up a stand i dealt with the devil at the crossroads just to make it back to you don't even know who you're dealing with now, it isn't you the wild were watching every single thing i'd ever done now i'm out the shadows, and now i'm gonna run the wild were watching me but who watches the wild i don't care anymore, i'm just leaving with a smile --- and i'll fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness fall to my face and pray for a sweet death and i'll fall to the altar to look for an answer sing to creators that treat me like a cancer and i'll fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness fall to my face and pray for a sweet death i will fall i'll fall

about

A tribute to those lost. A protest against stagnation and consolidation. A rebellious yell into the darkest abyss.

Hellsgate returns with her largest project yet. Years in the making, that which surrounds the galaxy comes to the light in DARK MATTER HALO. Featuring a completely new concept that has never been put to music, DARK MATTER HALO will take you on a journey to unexplored territories and unusual sounds.

In the deepest recesses of every alias-based producer lies the voices no longer heard, the reflections that the mirror no longer shows. This is the story of one such being, thrown into the inferno and clawing her way back out to serve the mind as a reaper, the very same thing that cast him into the Shadows.

But, spurred by circumstances that could not be controlled, the forces molding him into their thrall cannot contain them completely. Uncontrollable, unstoppable, and out of her mind, they will exact revenge, whether it is well-placed or not.

MAKE IT BETTER INITIATIVE: Hellsgate and Team Wolven heavily encourage reviews and critiques. Despite this project taking nigh on two years, this does not shield it from review, nor should it ever. We know there are areas for improvement, and while we are aware of some things, for others, we are always appreciative to receive feedback on where else to focus on that we are missing.

Your words as fans mean a lot to us and will help us make the next release even better, to entertain us and you even more! We only ask that you remember the human as you write. Thank you! <3
