Album Notes & Community Reviews

The prolific Italian experimental trio marks a radical departure from their abrasive jazzcore roots with this deeply atmospheric instrumental release. The recording consists of two extended compositions inspired by traditional Tibetan sky burials, relying heavily on solemn acoustic instrumentation, chanting, and vast, dark synthesizer drones. The album functions as a profound, funereal meditation on death and ritualistic transition.
