about

ANBA is extremely proud to present Parhelion, by Æthereal Arthropod x Seraphim.

Written, recorded and produced between New York City and Galicia over the course of two years, Parhelion finds each musician sharpening and elevating the other's sublime sound design, with the resulting record being a singularly unique and brutal amalgam of extreme music of all genres.

As a cohesive whole, this record is punishing in both its length and musical intensity -- tracks spiral well towards the 20-minute-mark, and rhythms shift and metamorphosize faster than they can be perceived. Tempo is immaterial. Human voices roar with such sun-burned blasphemy that they're almost unrecognizable. On a microscopic level, narratives and images emerge rapidly, before cohering into a deranged insectoid mass.

In the words of the musicians, the record's conceptual grounding is a nexus between concepts of the afterlife and lost histories; incomplete creation myths and an obsession with dread, chthonic beings. This is a useful prism through which to view the record itself; if what you're hearing is the incomplete creation myth, what else has been lost to time? If what you're hearing represents what is merely the perceivable carapace of some world-eating beast, how large is the rest?

As the vacuity of ethos recalls on the ambiguity of space, the antithesis of duality corrodes itself in search of the absolute meaning, the separation of in-between from within, as a hyper-destructive force of catharsis suited for blasphemous triggering to the unknown terror of the abyss, tearing apart shredded knots, untangled reality deathly grasping almost the internal noise of god, dimensions of mythological animals wide open into atemporal manners, sacred guts, the quantic expression of the micronesimal level of cognition fractalized through deity itself as an A.I. periodical pilgrimage, condemned to loop itself until absurdity obliterates the meaning ov man, broken to its core air won’t flow as clear as imagined, freedom from dogma may be harsh and vile.

Their eyes were extirpated, so we could see the light.1
Their head severed, so we forget to care.
Their heart was burned, so love turned into immortal meat.
(and their intestines dried and cleaned, to live splayed across the stone.)

/To vomit-shred the internal.

“Oh twin dawghters of Tanatos who’s to blame for the abstract betrayal of this flesh-devouring time”
/as the insects eat the forgotten fruit, its crust of spoiled nectar, oxidated vanta-black daemons glow with contempt.22
The reek of petrichor and arcane sexual ritualistics, Golgotha & Gargantua. Oceanic aether, whale sperm infected saurian land.
Seraphim.
the machine.666

Elementals of metal and plastic please be to swallow this soil, carved in bone with thunders of the storm, cast upon, destroy, lets rejoice and dance beneath the mud and the worms.
/all humans are gone, all fish are dead.23
Rays ov aurora iridesce the scales on the Archangel wings, shining in extatic anataraxis.
Be not afraid.22

So the people worship thee.
And the kings rott them throne.
The holy bird burns in silence.33

/To Begone the sun dog.

Saturnus TanatoPantocrator, breaker of the world, bestow this Azraelian nightmare of the ethereal blood, of these forbidden suns. Liberate us from the paradoxical by consuming our skin and bone.
Aeons of mass, the old titan´s body blasting, piling astronomical density, tonns of muscled rott crawl away as fructiferous realm, rott away as universal death, rott away the ephemeral self.
Total thy Demiurge.
Total thy Death.999

Pleased be the unraveled to be engulfed by the desert ov ants.
To the sacrificial beginning the broken must endure its upmost disruptive wars, the stream of holy days once supersonical shall rest. As dust ash below long ferment with once was gone.
Noun non to be known, noun non to be known.
Two were whose thrust crushed the rock & flashed thee amalgama, twenty-two degrees amongst the two fake stars
/overwhelmed by the sun dog.
Behold the Parhelion.

Soul. Ghost. Should. Holy Spiritu.
