'Formulæ ' is the seventh studio album by Czech black metal band Master's Hammer, released on May 30, 2016 through the band's own record label, Jihosound Records, founded the year prior. The album was composed by Franta Štorm in India and South Bohemia in winter 2015–2016, and recorded between January and March 2016 at Biotech Studio in Prague, Czech Republic.
Formulæ features the same experimental style of its immediate predecessors, with a mixture of melodic black metal and ambient sounds, in the middle of the Štorm's death growl vocals.
Usage examples of "formulae".
There were cryptic formulae and diagrams in his and other hands which Ward now either copied with care or had photographed, and one extremely mysterious letter in a chirography that the searcher recognised from items in the Registry of Deeds as positively Joseph Curwen's.
Willett asked to see the mystic documents, Ward displayed much reluctance and tried to put him off with such things as photostatic copies of the Hutchinson cipher and Orne formulae and diagrams.
The droning of monotonous formulae and the chanting of bizarre rhythms recurred at intervals, while at other times occasional listeners could detect the sound of tinkling glass, hissing chemicals, running water, or roaring gas flames.
Willett now unmistakably recognised from the photostatic copies of the Orne formulae which Charles had once shown him.
On the other hand, there were literally reams of symbols and formulae, historical notes and philosophical comment, in a crabbed penmanship absolutely identical with the ancient script of Joseph Curwen, though of undeniably modern dating.
But far more interesting were the two vacant walls, both of which were thickly covered with mystic symbols and formulae roughly chiselled in the smooth dressed stone.
The right-hand wall was no less thickly inscribed, and Willett felt a start of recognition when he came up the pair of formulae so frequently occurring in the recent notes in the library.
When the room with the formulae and the greenish dust was mentioned, Charles shewed his first sign of animation.
The formulae were as follows - exactly so, as Willett is abundantly able to testify - and the first one struck an odd note of uncomfortable latent memory in his brain, which he recognised later when reviewing the events of that horrible Good Friday of the previous year.
Every single energy group around this thermal core insisted on obtaining the formulae which could repeat those unique emissions.
She'd lost vocabulary in the languages she'd once been fluent in, scientific data including formulae and equations, navigation.
You could be stuck out here with me, watching the swamp gurgle, and listening to the security guards babble formulae at each other.
Narrow Leg said, and his musical whistling described formulae, circuitry, and elemental weights.
He dropped words from formulae, bollixed simple conjurations, stuttered in his reading and rhyming studies.
I used many new and unproven words, many intergrams and formulae rare and difficult to blend.
