Note:
With ‘Vexamen’, the transfiguration alluded to with ‘Vastitas’ had begun. The heightened ambition reflected in the album’s title was sonically captured through urgency tinged with the desperation of a nonconforming production style tethered by flowing interludes. The urgency of grasping at something formidable within an abyss of black mirrors, yet not fully comprehending its immensity.
Not to be neglected are the masterful visuals penned in collaboration with artists artem grigoryev and bethany white for the artwork and calligraphy respectively.
With vexamen, the proclamation of upheaval was made.
“For none evade the absolute that pierces the heart of matter. Transmigratory zenith; for most, death is the revealer.”
