Ritual Ascension – Profanation of the Adamic Covenant
In the meantime. I like how deep these guys reduce conceptually. No, they’re not simply breaking the Christian covenant or the Abrahamic covenant. They’re going all the best way again to the start, to the beginning of human existence. I’ve to think about this is able to make a becoming soundtrack for Earth’s violent formation, as there’s one thing distinctly volcanic about loss of life steel like this.
