Note:
Faced with the unknowable nature of the transcendent, man toils in the desert of its perceived absence. Within this labyrinth, his inescapable tendencies for submission and worship are glaring—especially amongst the self–proclaimed ‘godless’. ‘The Apophatic Wilderness’ chronicles his descent into the pit.
At its core, the instrumental layering was reduced in comparison to ‘Adumbration of the Veiled Logos’, and vintage audio gear (some analogue equipment dating back to the 1960s) was utilised during the album’s recording and mixing process for sonic colour.
Layout and typography came forth from an open grave; ars alchymiae once more manifested the artwork.
“You have forgotten death! From this ignorance—and how you bask in the soothing numbness of utter despondency—you forfeit meaning.”
