7. Omen, So Sigh Us (37:31)

So here's what happened. Back in June, I posted a new album, Cerebral Atrocity. But I listened to it for the first time since then this week, and decided three things:
1. The production was not great
2. I'd written three new songs since then, which I didn't want to put on an EP
3. The 15-minute ambient interlude in the middle of a blackened-death-doom album was a little odd
With that in mind, I remastered the original tracks, added the new ones, and dropped the ambient (still available on the channel as "Defective Mythologies," if you're interested). Hope you'll enjoy this new redux/remix/whatever.
