about

The fourth E.P. by veterans of "blackened heavy mettā", INTRINSIC LIGHT.

"The Abyss of Hallucinations has Law and Reason; but in Truth there is no bond between the Toys of the Gods.
This Reason and Law is the Bond of the Great Lie.
Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations."
-A.Crowley, The Book of Lies - LIBER CCCXXXIII

Combining low-fi entheogenic improvisation drone with occasional blossom-bursts of raw necro-fuzzed blackmetal, INTRINSIC LIGHT forces mindfulness mantras straight into the Third Ear, dragging one's spirit simultaneously North of Nirvana and South of Hell.

Note: as the band constantly weaves heavily improvised psychedelia around their distorted drone brutality, the version of "View Obstacles as Teachers" presented here is very different to the version that appears on "Indestructible Sanity".
