Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the first installment of a projected triptych, this colossal release consists of a single, continuous 83-minute composition. The Seattle duo stretches extreme funeral doom metal into agonizingly slow, meditative dirges, utilizing Hammond organ and monolithic bass frequencies. It explores themes of eternal recurrence and the crushing weight of time with deep, ritualistic patience.
