about

Welcome to your first strange therapy session. Eight different artists crafted this cruel compilation of eight tracks, for those whose minds wander off into the weird and wicked too far and too often. For those who deserve nothing but a rough treatment.

Operant gives you a cold welcome to the A-side with Cheekbone Element. The threatening, melancholic synthline guides you at a steady pace passed clattering contraptions, while you get injected with a continually increased dose of schizophrenia inducing voices.
Restive Plaggona raises the heat with Fire Is The Only Way. The soundtrack of a sacrificial gathering. Ritualistic drums, scorching synths, and distant tribal yells included. Be engulfed by its flaming sounds as you feed the fire and burn away.
Unhuman stretches time, space, and minds with Wormhole. This slow but strong track sucks you up with its creeping and crawling arps. Feel the suffocation, hear the heavy breathing and wailing, and get warped into cold, dark, outer space.
Violet Poison shoots you straight back to earth with Human Asteroid. A high energy chase of waves with fiery tails, that makes you want to move faster and faster. Yell out, fall down, and feel the rush until your imminent collision marks the end of Side A.

Katran provides the first B-side track, Transformation. A thick veil of cold, rumbling noise, pierced by sharp percussive hits that keep on echoing against the insides of your head. You won't realize your mind has been radically reshaped by the sound, until the metallic mist ebbs away.
Verset Zero definitely does his dark duty with Cãro. A beautiful, spacious choir blends seamlessly with a rising wall of feedback. Feel the wall crumbling onto you with rhythmic destruction, once it gets the pummeling and pounding distorted-drum-treatment.
Shrouds brings in a beast of a track, titled He Raised His Voice, The Earth Melted. A giant, legendary creature cries out his loud, epic, sound from ancient times. The tight but rolling drums carry these roars all across the earth's surface, and far into its depths.
Sortsyn gives you the final treatment with Worryor. Starting with words like a witches spell, this tense, flowing soundscape builds up until the hard hitting horror comes in. This one is capable of crushing the last bits of sanity in your soul, perfectly marking the ultimate ending of Side B.
