Mitochondrion
The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek μίτος, mitos, i.e. "thread", and χονδρίον—, chondrion, i.e. "granule" or "grain-like".
Mitochondria are commonly between 0.75 and 3μm in diameter but vary considerably in size and structure. Unless specifically stained, they are not visible. Mitochondria have been described as "the powerhouse of the cell" because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in other tasks, such as signaling, cellular differentiation, and cell death, as well as maintaining control of the cell cycle and cell growth. Mitochondria have been implicated in several human diseases, including mitochondrial disorders,cardiac dysfunction, and heart failure. A recent University of California study including ten children diagnosed with severe autism suggests that autism may be correlated with mitochondrial defects.
Mitochondrion (band)
Mitochondrion is a Canadian death metal band from Victoria, British Columbia, formed in 2003. The band has undergone some line-up changes, but since 2006 Mitochondrion was solidified as a power trio with Shawn Haché (guitar, vocals), Nick Yanchuk (guitar, vocals, bass) and Karl Godard (drums, keyboards). With this line-up Mitochondrion has recorded two full-length studio albums, the self-released Archaeaeon (2008) and Parasignosis (2011), which was released through Profound Lore Records.
According to music critics, "What makes Mitochondrion stand out is their ability to bring order to chaos. [...] It is a trait they share with Deathspell Omega, who craft a dizzying amount of sounds and influences into something palpably evil and eminently listenable. When most other bands try this, it sounds like they are toying with forces they do not understand." The musicianship on Parasignosis has been defined by Decibel magazine as a "dense, not-so-easily-digestible labyrinth of frightening mindfuckery." While Parasignosis itself was praised as a "mind-blowing, highly individual album."

Through Cosmic Gaze
by: MitochondrionOverwhelming foreboding - A glimpse into eyes of
potential
Ancient immutable master - Harkening at the ocean's
command
The deafening roar of silence, come, wash over desires
Impotent sense reawaken, once in contempt of the call
Essence drawn upward on gusts of released whispers
Imparative forces acknowledge all thoughts upon thee
Deep majestic void ascend forth
Enhanced with fires eternal
Natures forbidden knowledge
Discover in darkeness, roll hidden aeons
From the banished realms of the psyche
The gnostic messenger issues forth
Wherefore transcends this ethereal majesty?
Fixating the unwavering gaze
Deeper still into oblivion
The boundary of the intrinsic value flickers in
seclusion
Ecstasy and fear reach paramount, clash in dual
absolution
Waters! Cleanse the progenous pathway
Waters! Carry the flames on waves of will
Tempest! Stir the ancient slumber
Tempest! Sunder this realm into chaos
Summoned guardians uncover the secrets long darkened
With weapon and crest dull the blade of prevention
Elements and symbols cast out all doubt and
consciousness
For subconscious will must guide the left hand's path
Sea, the wind, and the void - Combine thrice in furious
fervour
Unrestrained, omnipotent, thunderous - Ever flowing
gaze revealed
Tributaries direct knowledge on the course of existence
The source of all that is and all that will ever be
Overwhelming foreboding - A glimpse into eyes of
potential
Ancient immutable master - Harkening at the ocean's
command
The deafening roar of silence, come, wash over desires
Impotent sense reawaken, once in contempt of the call
Essence drawn upward on gusts of released whispers
Imperative forces acknowledge all thoughts upon thee
Deep majestic void ascend forth
Enhanced with fires eternal
Natures forbidden knowledge
Discover in darkness, roll hidden aeons
