(C) 2017 by Call the MothershipALLIES - CALL THE MOTHERSHIP feat. KILL THE LYCAN & WE BLAME THE EMPIRECall The Mothership2021-08-26 | This track was created and established over the last year in isolation, quarantine and under the siege of a threat, not visible to us but very real and dangerous, not only threatening our life but dividing us all. We decided to show solidarity and that creativity still brings us together and that there is a community out there, waiting to be brought together, to create, to overcome, to heal, and to rise and rise again until the threat is no more and we shall be free once again. This cannot be achieved alone, but only with the help of others …
… and our allies are:
Stefan „Stevo“ Eberl – KILL THE LYCAN (Co-writing, recording, clean vocals, ambience, orchestra, creative juices, fleet command)
Sebastian “Borsti” Penninger – WE BLAME THE EMPIRE (Screams, shouts growls, additional lyrics, cooking & sustenance, teleportation & deepstrike)
Norbert Leitner – NORBERT LEITNER STUDIOS (edit, mix, master, positive attitude, long range support)
Julius Kössler – SPIRE OF LAZARUS (visual art and content, cover, social media graphics, animations, FTL navigation)
Additional GRATITUDE goes out to: The fans, followers, supporters, crewmembers, our families, our friends and companions, everyone who still keeps up the resistance and fights the good fight, who still believes in dreams and a great future to come.
Our SHOUTOUTS shall be heard by: Their dogs were astronauts, the last cell, in this temple (RIP), hate may return, all your sorrows, thus I end, chaos for the masses, counterweight, street to the ocean, a new chapter, Peter Gordebeke, Paulus Reiffenstein, Florian Kössler, Pawel Manko, Michael Schachinger, Dr. Oppenheimer, Oryx and Crota
Following the call of the mothership are: Ermis Holletschek – Vox Gary Kamper – Vox Thomas Fèanis – Bass Jörg Varga – Not guitars Mike “Commander” Svaton – Drums.
Lyrics: Gaians unite
From darkness to light we stand up to fight Contending an endless war for what we know is right Gazing – gazing into the black abyss Blazing – the total eclipse of our future
Threatening – witness the reckoning A bleak repulsion of our righteous intentions For it’s Everything – We had to sacrifice Set ablaze the heart and mind Together we will thrive – darkness to light
Standing tall – fighting through it all Stand your ground – for all we know is falling Standing tall – fighting through it all behold the final dawning We see the light and for me the light comes from the example of others. Another person, another human being, who despite all the powers of darkness stood up and rejected all that wickedness and proved
Gaians
We all suffer for too long We have to forge ourselves together Feel the passion, create something bigger Bigger than yourself The Inspiration: Just look around to the ones you love Determination: singularity of the unit behind Soak in your last breath, and fight together Stand for your nation Cohesion, till we die
Darkness to light
Standing tall – fighting through it all Stand your ground – for all we know is falling Standing tall – fighting through it all behold the final dawning Standing tall – fighting through it all Stand your ground – behold the final dawning Standing tall – fighting through it all Reconstitute our broken hymn
Realize we are together – for we forever are… Gaians Gaians unite
I hate this failure for being real These open wounds are too much to heal My failure led to this decline No one to witness this downfall is mine. I am fighting my inner demon In a bottomless pit Broken scattered bleeding This life… it doesn‘t mean shit
Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate Hate leads to suffering, no shelter no covering Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate Hate leads to suffering, no shelter no covering Abandon your faith – there’s nothing left to believe in Did I drag myself here, just to die alone?
Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate Hate leads to suffering, no shelter no covering Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate Hate leads to suffering, no shelter no covering
I’m down on my knees screaming towards the void One last look of this life I have destroyed Deluded I can’t trust anymore Bled out until I can’t bleed anymore I should have stayed where I belong I was pleased though I was wrong Deceived but happy – drugged and sappy Blinded by glory – in memento mori
Seeker of truth what have you become? Evil lies beneath – phenomenon Vitam impendere vero – et veritas odium parit Vitam impendere vero

(C) CALL THE MOTHERSHIP 2020 We believe. #earthcoreHOPECall The Mothership2020-09-10 | "Even in the face of darkness, evil, despair and even your end, there are always things you can take control of and turn the situation around. We faced the end a lot of times and we never gave up. This is because we find the energy to push on deep inside ourself and our allies. We always have hope. Hope for tomorrow, hope to create a better place, a better situation, hope that we can push through and go further together. Do not give in. Find hope inside you. Find hope in each other. It is out there."
We want to thank our Primer Sven "Sid" Schellander for his yearlong service aboard the mothership. Since "Lights:Out" you have been an invaluable member of our crew and your energy, motivation, humour and colourful personality will be missed. The mothership is incomplete without you and we will never forget your actions.
Also we want to thank our manager and top content creator Peter Gordebeke for beeing the visual engineer of this mothership. You capture us in our strongest and brightest moments just to amplify them even more. With your intense way of transposing your vision of the crew and the ship you establish a bridge between us and our followers and never cease to amaze. Thank you for your service, your motivation and your drive. One love, brother.
"We revel in joy, for we know the certainty of imminent peace Enlightened minds that finally can release The shades of the past falling for eternity At this very moment we glanced the end of our journey
A glimpse of light emerging from the distance A place we never thought could come into existence Raging towards the guiding light The heat of joy, it burns so bright Raging towards the guiding light
We revel in joy, for we know the certainty of imminent peace Enlightened minds that finally can release The shades of the past falling for eternity The shades falling for eternity"

We believe. One Love. #earthcoreCALL THE MOTHERSHIP - OF COMING HOME (EP-Stream)Call The Mothership2020-02-02 | "We're pushing further for we have come so far."
Chapter 2.) Hope What we acknowledged In our years of travel, horrors and hopes a single mind cannot bear All the things we have unraveled Our time is fading away
Heavy lies the feel of everlasting incertitude A darkened mind dwelling in solitude
Anxiety, following every step that we make This burden upon our mind How much more will we have to take? How much longer until we find – (till we find)
A place to rest our strung-out bones Exhausted from moving onwards Fading memories of a place we called home But always escaping forward Chasing our provision, we bared the storm We found solace in distance but no savior to guide us home
We are pushing further for we have come so far Trailing the guiding light of a star We’re pushing further for we have come so far Defying the end with what’s left of our force Guiding this ship through the storm, holding its course
Chapter 3.) Contact [Instrumental] “We are all searching for home. Amongst the stars and in ourselves. All these battles fought to preserve what was already lost so long ago, to find the spark inside… and to elevate this existence into a higher purpose, into a journey without end. This is a message to the crew, who began as the dreamers of a modern madness and traveled from the abyss through the occulus astralis to face the hypersleep nightmares and to become the lightbearers. You have witnessed the regicide, you have been in the eye of this storm that will finally carry you home. And you have come so far…and the times has come to lay down your arms and to rest. It is time to come home. Please. Come home.”
Chapter 4.) Home I cannot tell what it means to me A place to rest, a place to be But I know now where to head, because now I can see Reminiscence of a place so familiar
With a future in hands all seems clearer Sheltered from the storm a place to call home Setting an end to our mere endless roam
We are pushing further for we have come so far Trailing the guiding light of a star We’re pushing further for we have come so far Defying the end, with what’s left of our force. Guiding this ship through the storm, holding its course
Chapter 5.) Peace We revel in joy, for we know the certainty of imminent peace Enlightened minds that finally can release The shades of the past falling for eternity At this very moment we glanced the end of our journey
A glimpse of light emerging from the distance A place we never thought could come into existence Raging towards the guiding light The heat of joy, it burns so bright Raging towards the guiding light
We revel in joy, for we know the certainty of imminent peace Enlightened minds that finally can release The shades of the past falling for eternity The shades falling for eternity

I am the traveler, as I seek for purpose. I am the drifter, as I sail beyond the abyss. But all I ever desired, all I ever craved for I had all along as experience opened my eyes: Gaia, cradle of the spark, name of my home.” – Second Book of the great travel, Chapter 2

"In a war no one ever wins. It's just about who is willing to sacrifice more for the annihilation of the other."
lyrics: Behold the inescapable flood Exodus – endless black Altruistic surrender Sacrifice yourself Exodus – into the unknown
Armageddon made flesh, The incarnation of death The prophecy made reality An ancient predator – forgotten – distant A Virulent exploitation from system to system Armageddon made flesh, Born from the womb The manifestation of death Desperate – violate Start the meltdown, Induce the plasma-fired Armageddon
Mankind standing before the abyss Frozen by the embrace of death Waves over waves Maelstrom of flesh Burn the palace, incinerate the living Survival is only for the unforgiving
Armageddon – incineration Virulent exploitation Witness the ruination Witness the scathing relentless abomination Armageddon made flesh, Born from the womb The manifestation of death Desperate – violate Start the meltdown, Induce the plasma-fired Armageddon
Desperation as the proclamation arrives You are to be sacrificed The vilest horror risen from imagination to self Birthed from the chaos like birthed from a star Invocation of ashes, your hope burnt to char
Only this time man tries playing god And the spawn forces his hand Weeping faces as the light takes away Civilization in ashes, a morbid display Are we to kill our own humanity?
To save ourselves – without ourselves To save ourselves – without ourselves To save ourselves – without ourselves Who are we to kill our own humanity?
Start the purge – start the purge – start the purge – start the purge – start the purge
Armageddon – incineration Virulent exploitation Witness the ruination Witness the scathing relentless abomination Armageddon made flesh, Born from the womb The manifestation of death Desperate – violate Start the meltdown, Induce the plasma-fired Armageddon
Desperation as the proclamation arrives You are to be sacrificed Armageddon – survive You are to be sacrificed Start the purge – justified By a man’s most human desire To survive

We have been through a lot over the last year and we made a ton of content (and still we have not released it all). We started to play live and our next outputs are already in the queue. Everything we put out was well received with a lot of positive and constructive feedback, everywhere we’ve been people and fans have been kind and embracing even though we are far from perfect (or far from our rareform ;) ). With this track and this video we want to thank you for your energy and positivity and your support over the last year. Thank you for your motivation and participation of this endeavour, for there will be many more … see you on the other side.

Lyrics: I have locked you away - waiting for it to decay Forsaken you and denying the truth A part of myself I never wanted to believe A part of me I always want to leave Like a disease, infecting my mind Forced to hate myself until I’m resigned The weight too heavy to carry it alone But no one to help me am I the only one? Like a dream flaring up just to be forgotten before you realize There is no relief, no cure and no ease until this part of me dies
Devouring my body from the inside Eaten alive by the things I have denied No reason to forget just a flare to burn it out For I want to live without any doubt Dismembering myself but unable to heal the infection Frozen to the core, when I’m in need of affection So I lock myself in drenched in fear Building a wall cause I just can’t come clear
Self doubt my eternal companion A threatening haunting phantom
I am waiting for it to decay Denying the truth I never wanted to believe I always wanted to leave Infecting my mind Until I’m resigned The weight too heavy to carry it alone But no one to help me am I the only one?
Rage, fear, anger, hope, pain Will I be able to live again? Chaos within myself Disorder within parallels Obsession of obscurity Blackness is security Haunting illusion Accompany my reclusion No spark, no light, no silhouette in the lighting I’m losing myself though I am struggling, and fighting Just chaos of emotion a never ending ocean I am the cursed chosen, full of devotion
Mark my words as I’m about to fade away Mark my words as I’m about to break away I have locked away a secret, deep inside myself, I chose to forget
Like a dream flaring up just to be forgotten before you realize There is no relief, no cure and no ease until this part of me dies

Thanks for trying!) (AETERNITAS-EP)Call The Mothership2015-02-12 | " ... and it simply defies the human nature to go towards danger. Every living animal tries to survive by fighting or fleeing, it's just a reflex, but not with us humans, I guess. We travel to the most dangerours places someone can imagine, we discovered ways to survive in the cold, we discovered ways to deny gravitanional laws, just to travel the most unhabitable place there is: the vastness of space ..."
*STATIC NOISES* * DAMAGED TRANSITION*
" ... so we succeed often, but we also fail because to discover means to hit walls and to discover failure. But does it feel like failure to the one who finds his end in something that truly fulfils him? At least it is not an end in terror and fear. It's a transition, just to connect with something that is great than oneself. And he is not alone when it happens. We are always there ... every time."

(C) CALL THE MOTHERSHIP 2014CALL THE MOTHERSHIP (feat. Silvi // Lights & Fuses) - Oculus Astralis (AETERNITAS EP)Call The Mothership2015-02-06 | "In all of my travels I faced the force of nature numerous times and I often just walked away barely with my life. Danger is imminent, disguised in all forms, patterns and colors, often it doesn't even hide. But that is the risk you take when you are a wanderer between the stars.
So, the universe seems to be a space to avoid you say? No, because beauty and amazement is as present as danger. Out there, you'll find perfection beyond the human understanding. You can witness time like any other visual spectacle, you'll see destruction and rebirth on the same place and in the same moment.
... but that's just the duality of everything. Nothing is just dark and dangerous or bright. But everything out there is simply amazing. And sometimes even, the universe sings for you, you just have to listen."
Try to have an open mind, let it be like the cosmos ... eternal.

Is it about going where no one has ever sat foot before? Or is it about expanding the mind of oneself to fully understand the size and dimension? Or is it both ... or maybe I'm wrong about everything."

You will find wonders far beyond the human imagination, events that exceed every understanding, sometimes even logic. We pushed our limits further and further but still the miracles of space/time-manipulation never seized to amaze us. Mostly we discovered these wonders. But sometimes the universe reveils its darker sides. Danger is everywhere and it's imminent ... and sometimes even the terror reveils itself as a wonder and vice versa."

We have seen the end that was a new beginning and we were afraid, oh, so afraid what we could find out there. At the same time we could not wait to let everything behind, to leave our tomb and be reborn again, so we can walk the path of the ones who traveled amongst the stars."

(C) CALL THE MOTHERSHIP 2014CALL THE MOTHERSHIP - Transmission 999: SingularityCall The Mothership2015-01-08 | "Transmission 999 ...
I love to experiment with many different sounds and record (mostly) weird stuff. For some reason the band was really fond of it and we decided to make a very deep and atmospheric instrumental song: The Singularity.
The song starts very smooth and silent and with every second it gets more intense and combines more and more mysterious and playful elements sounding like coming from distant worlds to your ear. It feels like drifting trough time and space. It builds up to three pillars, each one stronger in dynamic than the one before, so this symbolises a pulse that builds up to the last big burst, the death and rebirth, which closes the circle of the album.
Sadly this track has been misunterstood as an outro, but for us it's a full song, with a lot of meaning and it shows the other side of this band. We want to create dynamics, we want to create space and ethereal atmospheres to transpose our vision ...
... and this is why we decided to create more content like that, this is the birth of AETERNITAS."
Here are some words about my favourite song of our album "of cold fusions and light mess"
"THE UNCREATION" is definitely the darkest and most metal song of this album. I really love the creepy part of the beginning. The guitars and the bass are telling a story about dark forces that will interloop everything in this universe. That was the feeling I have had when I heard the song for the first time. Goosepumps everywhere!
But my favourite part of the song is the brutal double bass part in the middle. It always reminds me of one of my all-time favourite bands Behemoth. Love it!
I really enjoyed the lyric writing process of The Uncreation cause from my point of view as a singer I always found myself in Death Metal. I love to write morbid lyrics with a big bunch of criticism. The lyrics tell the story of a man who got more and more force and he doesn't care about anything else or his future. He got stronger and stronger till he reaches the point of selfdestruction and he can't stop it anymore.
I'm very satisfied about our massive lyric video of "THE UNCREATION" which was created by our brother in crime Markus Wessig. And I'm also a big fan of the little feature of our captain Jörg Varga at the second half of the song. He devastated everything with his evil black metal voice.
So take a break of reality, get your highness and enjoy the "THE UNCREATION"
„Dreamers Of A Modern Madness“ includes various musical elements I really dig from my point of view as a guitar player because it is very fluent and smooth at the beginning, only to fall into that kinky groove part I really like to dance to. With my guitar to the chin. Of course.
I'm also a big fan of the feature Daniel Fellner gave us because he interacts great with our singer, the mighty Kubinator, and his clean voice is just a welcome gain for the song and reflects its intentions perfectly.
The lyrics are massive and reflect our fiew on the blameful common sense many people have. We live the way we think is best for us and the rest of the world and don't obey to the fashionable rules of modern society. We call the mothership. We make our rules.
The second half of the song is instrumental and was designed to be atmospheric yet powerful until you reach the point of total silence and the only thought you have, is: „This is so good, I want to buy their merch...TWICE!“
Hehe, just kidding. No really, buy our merch or Kubin has to sell his 300 snapbacks for food.

It's basicaly a loop, so the song starts like it ends and vice versa and it was all about the groove and some layers. So clear structure and clears parts were very important. It also got the right amount of information, so you have to concentrate on the song, but you don't get overwhelmed by the amount of content. It was never meant to be a long song, so it's not a leftover or anything, it was always concepted as an interlude, just to concentrate again, to find a center and then to move on to the second half of the album. So I just followed the idea to create something like a mantra. Something very short to regain your focus, something you can lose yourself into, but also wake up to."

It's like riding a raging bull through the eternal beauty of space. A powerful mix of harshness and fragility. A journey into the unknown.
It was my first professional music video shooting, and I didn't know what to expect. But the final result left me speechless (in a very positive way). It always gives me goosebumps while watching it. It's a story of an overwhelming vision of mankind and their scientific breakthroughs to make that vision become reality. And, for me, it delivers a certain message.
A single drop of an ocean can create new life. Like a dying star can give birth to a new genesis. It's a continuum.
Sometimes, a spark is all that's needed.
I'm glad to be part of this magnificent piece of art.

The title got my attention from the very beginning and at first I had to get myself educated about the word itself. In case you've asked yourself: "what the fuck is a killbox?" - In weaponry, a Kill Box is a three-dimensional target area, defined to facilitate the integration of coordinated joint weapons fire - how cool is that? I had to love. It's fucking awsome! But this of course is not the only reason I chose this song as one of my favourites. Out of all tracks on the album Killbox really speaks to me lyrically. Because we ARE all out of orbit. These words are more than fucking true and I really appreciate the message the song holds. So many people are waiting for something to happen, for some shit to go down and release them from their daily enslavement and the routine that seems to slowly kill them. Of course people want to be free from the negative things in minds but its not always up to them to make that happen. The idea of the Mothership arriving is the idea a free human mind. Because we cannot free our minds from all the shit that's been crammed into our brain over the years and in todays society nobody wants you to either. Of course its all about Spaceships, Sci-Fi and laser guns but in the end you shouldn't forget that CTM is not the Enterprise of Djent (I mean we kinda are but...), we are also here to remind people of a thing that is very dear to all of us: freedom. In mind and body we all love to be free. Sadly we are not. The new slavery is to keep people stupid and that really sucks. Because we are all out of orbit and we are losing control of our senses." - Thomas Feanis, Bass

(c) Call the Mothership 2014 www.facebook.com/callthemothershipCALL THE MOTHERSHIP - Transmission 101: EmergenceCall The Mothership2014-11-06 | "These songs are special to me because they were something like my "first contact" with CTM. Like the mothersip leaving the earth for an uncertain journey Emergence/Killbox were the beginning of a new and unexpected path for me. I had never worked with any of these guys before and looking back its a little ridiculous how nervous I was at first. today I consider each and every member of CTM a respectable and valuable enrichment of my life and I not only look at them as musicians, but as friends. We've had a great time so far and hearing Emergence and Killbox always reminds me of the decision I made when I said "fuck yeah I'll be your fucking bassplayer!" because it was the right thing to do and I'm glad I made that choice. the start of Emergence pretty much sums up the feeling I had when playing in CTM for the first time and the riff that kicks off the song was actually the first CTM stuff I learned. so if you want to to draw a conclusion of my rumbling nonsense I think it is something like: don't be afraid to take a chance and try something new. if you feel like doing it than you should fucking do it. because if not you're maybe missing out on something really great and its some kind of an illness these days that people don't do things they want to do because they are afraid of what might happen. don't be afraid of chances...be afraid of a black whole because that fucking thing can fuck your shit up!" - Thomas Feanis, Bass
