Note:
The development found in ‘Vorant Gnosis’ was the direct result of the grasping exhibited in ‘Vexamen’. By this time, a greater understanding of this nameless, soundless, formless, timeless essence had been reached. Urgency was cast aside in favour for obsidian grandeur—for a monolith was to be raised with ‘Vorant Gnosis’, achieved through improved production standards, playing time and further expansion from that base of ravenous death metal presented with ‘Vastitas’.
At its core is this aforementioned essence—its grandiosity expanding to an ontological scale. Metaphysical non-dualism and the throes of transfiguration towards nought. The visual manifestions were created by enigmatic artist ars alchymiae.
‘Vorant Gnosis’ is the crucial junction from ‘Vexamen’ to what would come next...
“To cross the threshold and wander on. The black sun leering; and wander on. Scorched flesh falls asunder; and wander on. Memories to ash; and wander on. I welcome you; I am one with you; in the thoughtlessness of sleep; in the silence of the grave.”
