about

Initially featured on "Vibrations of the Celestial: A Compilation to Benefit Doctors Without Borders"

Destroying Angel was a piece that came together very quickly. The efforts of putting together the compilation for A Moment of Clarity took their toll, and though from the beginning I knew we needed to have a track of our own on their, it wasn't until the final days of production that we were actually able to get this piece together. It takes a lot of what we had done on Chorus of Gray Fire and expands upon it while also limiting the performances to just myself and Oneiromancer. Most pieces tend to start with the words and the theme, but for this one the title came long before the piece was ever completed or even conceived.

-Thrall

Thrall and I came up with a very vague idea of the concept for Destroying Angel which already had me very inspired. Fungi are something that inspire and guide my personal and spiritual life and the idea of connecting that to a larger theme of their place in this world and, subsequently, civilization's destruction of the world is something that I was really inspired by. I created my end of the musical backdrop to this one with some very strange tape loops and subdued throat singing. It feels meditative yet simultaneously bleak.

-Oneiromancer

lyrics

Our fingers stretch long, and carve swathes of earth from it’s resting place.
We nourish the soil and the soil nourishes we and now
We have outgrown you.

For epochs we have grown in the deep dark places,
In the underbrush and the loam.
We proffer ourselves to every corner of this, our earth.
We were born in conjunction with it and saw your forms rise from the ocean,
Back when we were vast and the sun feared us.
Those days will come again soon.

Our fingers stretch long and drink up your despondency,
You have done this to yourselves,
And we will leave you behind.

Now the great rains come,
And the seas swell and the sky darkens like your hearts.
Our age has come again.
Our fingers stretch long and absorb your choking shouts for answers.
And we will loom, monstrous and creaking,
denying you solace.
Suffocate the sky with our universal veils.

We will not forget you,
You will feed us for a time.
Absorbed into the colony.
And by the end
you will (w)(b)e(l)come death.

I've come back to this album to give it it's well-deserved due. The interpositions are coherent and cold, it's all put together really nicely which adds to the effectiveness of it's depressing atmosphere, and to it's faculty-decimating power. Throughout the album it often reminds me of the great Bathory, which is always a good thing. What will you see? Daniel Brown

Iris

“Iris” is one of those albums that pulls out all the stops and when it isn’t blurring the lines of multiple genres, it’s setting down stalwart ramparts firmly within one or another. An album that plays out like The Heroes Journey- an arc of inner turmoil, exterior conflict, a test of mettle on all fronts as you make your way in the world toward your one true destiny and stand at the gates with an open heart and all of the world at your back. justanoldgod

Atmospheric and melancholic. In turns slow and subdued, then thunderous and fast paced. The magic is that it seamlessly blends between the two. spawnofchaos
