Part 1 [bad word] of black metal, without which Altar of Plagues would not exist. The [bad word] throughout this portion of the ‘mixtape’ relates to music I have been listening to recently when looking at Mark Rothko’s ‘Maroon’ series. I have always loved to listen to music in suitable environments (I invite everyone to sit and listen to Deathspell Omega’s “Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice” in their nearest cathedral).
This selection of tracks goes hand in hand with the dissonance, loss, and distance I feel when looking at those paintings.
