  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Deluxe double LP of "Decreation" pressed on nice quality, heavyweight 180g black vinyl, housed in a 350gsm deluxe gatefold jacket, hand-numbered and limited to 50 copies. This is internally the same vinyl as the 1st pressing; the pressing plant alerted me of an accidental overage and sold me the remaining records at cost, which allows me to offer them to people at a more affordable pricepoint. Externally, these records will be numbered from #51–100 in silver ink, to distinguish them from the gold ink of the 1st pressing. They will also not include prints or stickers, because I ran out :(

    Includes unlimited streaming of Decreation via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Astræa is the Greek goddess of innocence.

lyrics

midnight calls, groping me with sodden fingers.
the rain tears black tendrils out of the gravid clouds.
and as the embers devour, coruscating on the wind,
the lovers reduce to boneblack cinders in the urn,
and a shadow on the street stares, languorously agitating.

she cries out to the concrete, to the ruins, the rubble, and the grime.
her words spill and run down the walls in droves into the gutters.

she calls out to the night sky, teeth shining amid black planes of paint.
the lover is brutalized by her beloved innocence.

with ink soundlessly staining the golden dome of a wretched cathedral,
I'm tied to the steeple of a burning firmament.

hurling panicked distress into a heavenly abyss,
she’ll fade away like frigid vapor, like the holy wisp of winter’s ghost.

I can’t forget this architecture, a monument to souls betrayed.
I can’t forgive this annihilation, an unforgiving antidote.
