This mainly ambient album and collaboration with a Swiss Ambient Black Metal project, deals with the hard Faustian struggles and mental antagonism of contradictory strivings of the human nature at the crossroads of madness. The particular songs deal with the desperate attempts to close oneself to ones own truths and contradictions who take shape as perpetual ponderings, life-draining resignation, depression, and self-mutilating deeds. All the synthesizer pieces were traditionally played by hand and not, as it is common nowadays, generated by computer software programs. Synthetic sound spheres like the ones on this album have from its early beginnings been elements of Black Metal in service of the sacral and transcendent. As the antipodes of the rather mundanely oriented guitars they – not only in the spiritually-mystical sense of an absolute reality – complete the sound picture which makes Black Metal unique among the musical genres.
