about

Full cassette ultra limited to 10 hand numbered copies available direct through us by Samhain 23.
…
Movement. A cry of terror.
So much sweet love, an ecstatic experience. Elevation of elements.
The icon had a brittle iron head.
Will a big, ambitious, hedonistic man understand the divine?
God is invisible.
The gentleness of pain is the best teacher.
What excesses did the saints indulge in?
Religious ecstasy is immersed in the flesh.
A life of fornication, lustful gluttony, and ecstasy.
God will be satisfied.
God who gave me the most holy desire to penetrate holes through me.
Shall I pull my skin over my shoulders?
...
