If this is all there is; and compassion's but fleeting in a sea of mediocrity.
We'll tread water in futility. We're all nought but fucking ragdolls to gaia.
Why has it become so acceptable to display a consummate aggression
Spat in the eye of progress; all in the aid of an existence as leeches?
They become more anesthetized by the hour, succumbing to a spiritual sterility.
Compelling those with beating hearts to sew their eyes shut with but a second thought.
More concerned with petty insights of extravagant intoxication,
Intravenous injections of venom to poison every man, woman, thinker or feeler.
Blind, Idiot Gods of their own creation, survival as parasites.
Consuming the roots of the pure and draining the life of the few;
Nothing more than weeds in the garden of Eden, tainting the apple of knowledge.
Pure insipid spite in all its twisted glory;
We are a race of roses, natural beauty encased in a crown of thorns.
But, this was not to be.
Gaia be damned, Gaia be cursed.
Gaia be damned, Gaia be cursed.

Constantly breaking expectations and listening habits, this album doesn't get boring a single second. Wish the clean vocals were less drowned in reverb and the drum sound less sampled, while the timing is feeling joyfully lively and not killed by quantization. Killer bass lines and sound. These creative, interwoven layers of music demand attention … and reward it! Philzen

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on.
10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come. Magnus Blackwood
