I feel like I’m flying again. My skin tingles, electric and feverish. This time however I have better control. I have adapted to the chaos, the swirling, nausea, shaking and trembling. There is pain but, oh, how it thrills me - the mastery of my body in this vortex.
I open my eyes and hurtle through galaxies. A veil has been removed and I can see further. I am enmeshed and submerged in something vast; coiled up in the shimmering guts of a dimensionless darkness. Black holes sprout before me, tearing through the fabric of the void, shrinking and bulging throughout the limitless expanse. How sad to see them swell in size only to drift and evaporate. Nothing escapes the disease of finitude. However, my destiny lies beyond this. I know it now.
Leaning into my heightened senses, at the horizon of my vision I feel new beings enter my realm. Crawling horrors with gaping jaws, hundreds of twisted mangled limbs. A cacophony of voices wail at me bellowing and howling, millions of agonised beasts ready to engulf entire worlds in doom. Comets and asteroids speed past like arrows alight as the infinite deep fills with perverse abominations. These dens of horrors exist outside ordinary perception but I see them. I see them clearly and erupt with mad laughter.
Vibrating in ecstasy, my senses are overwhelmed. A kaleidoscope of shapes and angles, prisms and organic chimeras glint and transmute.
Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
