The figure beneath the sheets
Beaten brutally
Blows at random, frenzied
Striking down covered limbs as they rise to defend
Dull thuds while the eiderdown is soaked from inside
Forced permanently to silence
Attacker spitting, weeping through stunted and unintelligible screams of their own
Like loose top soil
Sent tumbling by a sweeping hand
The memories of another life
Surface and fade
In a mire of penitence
Strung up and stretched
An elaborate silkhenge
Spun of contrition most oceanic
Is the sumptuous linking ebb
That lashes and batters
In foaming pummels
To erode our wonted ramparts
With an explicating arc of the phurba
We bring granular proliferation of self
And the fervent renewal
That sheds our callow misgivings

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list Dmitry Nevozhay

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
