The first proper album from the duo of prolific Swedish industrial artist Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (Mz.412, Folkstorm, etc.) and Margaux Renaudin, released in 2017 on Malignant Records. After a collaboration album titled "Anima Nostra" released on Cold Spring the previous year, the two solidified the project on this release with a heavier, more foreboding sound that combines elements of death industrial, dark ambient and doom metal with tribal rhythms and ritual sounds. Also features artwork from Thomas Ekelund of Trepaneringsritualen, another project exploring similar sounds to what's presented here.
