FAUNA comment: „The portal opens – not without, but within the very center of our being. We tumble inward in toric inversion, spirit turning inside out, outside in; an ouroboros of Being cycled through its own orifice, through and beyond all semblance of possibility“, vocalist, guitarist, and bass player Echtra writes on behalf of the duo. „The vortex ends in neither inferno nor cavernous abyss, but cacophonous silence. A desert of presence, a no-place devoid even of space. Absence so total that it contains all that could possibly be and yet lies barren. Abstract potential, bucking and roiling and spurting forth, overflowing with nothing. No psychopomp beckons, no hand extends. There is only what is not. This section of the work crystallized under the pressure created by a spiritual dismemberment. Plunging into an underworld within, to traverse those shadowy internal landscapes, to discover that which is formless within and fall through it into oneself.“
