Note:
Written in the years of 2011 and 2012, ‘Vastitas’ attempted to present a form of death metal most ravenous and most ruinous in nature. The vision for verberis at this early stage was draped in uncertainty—the conceptual ruminations were still forming, and though the evocation of aural darkness was determined as the lodestar, it would soon be understood that the template of primitive death metal had to be transcended—but not cast away completely.
In 2024, a limited run of 50 cassettes were produced to mark ten years since the initial release of ‘Vastitas’, with the music re-mixed and re-mastered, and including an unreleased version of ‘Fangs of Pazuzu’.
“Reverberations from the chasmic depths, eliciting the desolation that precludes transfiguration.”
