Through evocative, bleak atmospheric texture, this album chronicles the creation of “the first fire ever made on Earth that did not have its origin in the Sun”. It shows this to be more than simply the most terrible weapon ever devised, but as the beginning of an epochal rip; a new relationship between humanity and the universe—one dominated by extreme abstraction and haunted by the specter of extermination.
