Corpus 04:52
Parasites Exploiters Work Push Move

The soil here is fertile with your fear of death A vile invocation their theatre foretold Speaking the tongue of production What spectacular production to behold Delirium

Cast before a pneumatic force In an arcane district of cold duplicity While nefarious uniforms gather within its courts Bellowing a structure of ecstatic efficiency The reverent stench of the working day Drawing nigh upon mechanical temples Where artifice stalks in nervous fertility As our trembling limbs grasp for sedation There are eldritch engineers in our midst Spectres ardent with crooked visions Conducting hymns of material assembly I'm dancing in their corroded halls As this gaping chasm tempers our solemn inheritance Vicious subjects make companions with artificial limbs Witness our worship of this pulsating ontology: The union of death in absolute resonance

about

Vinyl release by Virtues: virtueslabel.com

HAUNTED BY SPECTRES OF THE 20TH CENTURY.

"True industrial music from Vancouver, Canada. Norillag uses scrap metal percussion and heavy machinery hand in hand with atmospheric classical instruments; channelling the early years of industrial while bringing a modern touch to the genre. Frenetic stomping anthems intertwine with cinematic and mechanical ambient passages. With a resolute focus on acoustic sources, Norillag expresses a thirst for more tactile aural forms in the age of digital music."

-Virtues Label

"Dedicated to my dearest friend Raven Salander.

"This record wouldn't be possible without the great number of talented artists, collaborators, and engineers I had the pleasure of working with, as well as all of the support from my closest friends and loved ones. Thank you: Echo, Wren, Vincent, Cassidy, Heather, Hallow, Test Dept., Virtues Label, Phage Tapes, and to so many more."

-Natalia
