According to the guy who made the album, its about mankind reaching its fullest and greatest potential or something like that. Kinda makes sense since the record begins in the typical black metal despair and accumulates a growing sense of optimism with each following track

As I said before it ends on an optimistic note. Also notice the bits of electronic noises poking their heads?

Emester is right, here's the direct quote:
"Lyrically and conceptually 'III' marks a passage from the internal to the external, from the individual to cosmic destiny," explains Ayloss. "It aspires for humans to discover the importance of their own existence and the potential of their effect, negating the pessimism and existential nihilism that are ever-present in black metal. It aspires for Man to ask the greatest questions and to come up with answers, even as naive or limited as they might seem at the moment. The deepest, most beautiful dream is that which is in tune with the Universe."

That why I may 5 it. It progresses from violence and fury of early man (Omphalos) to a vast yet civilized conclusion
(Cosmic Significance)

easy 4.5, likely more
this is basically everything i like about metal: folky acoustic guitars, buildups, crushing doomy passages, tremz for days, tons of melodies, a bit of spacey ambient, thick bass guitar, good production, and just enough heaviness to keep it all from being silly. not to mention the whole lyrical concept which is very appealing and definitely unique. the way the album progresses from really heavy in the beginning to really melodic at the end is fantastic.

Thanks for that correction, I can see what you're getting at. Editing now
Those trems in Spiral Fountain are fucking incredible. Glad you enjoyed it so much, it's probably going to turn into a 5 for me with a bit of time

Just a moment to appreciate how incredible the guitar is throughout the whole record. Probably the most varied and technically impressive guitar performance I've ever heard on a black metal album
