A beautiful rawness. A delightful stench-ridden atmosphere. A deeper knowledge and acceptance of the vast universe out there. Stories of battles, victories, defeats, journeys, enlightenment, sorrow, madness, monsters, inner torment and catharsis.
There is a fascinating aura surrounding the sounds brought forth across all the 4 projects within (Putrid Presence, Gozu, Visitor and Oathless One). This collection, presented using RVDL's ever present motto of 'Stay Weird' shares 6 tracks from each project.
It is a heavy, intense, long listen (clocking in at 132 minutes), with the variety spreading across black metal (raw, ambient, punk, atmospheric), dungeon synth, doom, drone, space ambient electronics and psychedelic noise.

"One-human DIY outsider sounds from my brain; mostly improvised, warts and all. Cobbled together into semi-coherence through technology and random chance. Headphones recommended."
