The God I Can Touch
This city, it reeks of you; every place I go, the smell of you fills my nostrils, pulsates, like a heart beneath the floorboards, with...
"What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, an imbecile worm; depository of truth, and sewer of error and doubt; the glory and refuse of the universe.”

The Cyclic Reckoning: Transcending Antecedent Visions
In its entirety, this album is something to behold - a 45 minute meditation on blackened death metal that is not so much macabre as it is somber, and titanic in its presence. Especially, I would like to pay my respects to track number two, which is nothing short of a siren song, how it steals me away from the waking world and into its beguiling snare. Transcending moves like the bore of an ancient tide in thrall to some lunar sway; it is languid but mighty, and it cares only for the destruction of men, whose bodies litter the deep well of its belly.
