Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as an instrumental companion piece to their 2011 metal record 'Celestial Lineage', the Weaver brothers completely abandon their guitars and drum kits. The album consists entirely of sprawling, analog synthesizer drones and dark ambient textures inspired by the pioneers of 1970s Berlin School electronics. It provides a peaceful, cosmic counterpart to their typically blistering cascadian black metal.
