Embark on a mythical journey in which you are killed and your soul becomes trapped within the depths of hell!

These pieces are remastered versions of previously released material, some originating from as far back as 2005. Their original release featured a very eclectic mix of genres which, in hindsight, did not fit together particularly well. This included some downtempo electronic pieces which later became the basis of my other music project, The Primary Phase Principle.

Journey to the Underworld

Doomed Escape

The Revelation

Your Demise

-----------------------------------------------

This album captures my return to the style that I originally started out with over 20 years prior, before I transitioned to a slower, fully-electronic sound (which would eventually become The Primary Phase Principle).

Some of these tracks are based on riffs that I've had in my back pocket for years but had never fully developed. Others are entirely new, written in 2024.

Download from Bandcamp to get a digital booklet with additional background information, plus a cover of Operation Overlord from the Quake II soundtrack.
