Conceived within the lesser-explored, darkest / blackest recesses of the mind and residing on the edge of lunacy, 'Ex | Ist' is an examination of the emptiness, numbness and futility of life.
Bleak, hypnotic, obscure and eerie, this is a harrowing cocktail of anguished, emotive Black Metal despondency.
A maelstrom of melancholy communicated through archaic harmonies and tormented vocals.
Do we live or do we merely breathe? INFESTUS has been streamlined into a one-man entity and Andras' attack on this new exploration is sharper and more intense than hitherto, a soul-searching voyage that brings the listener to the very cusp of schizophrenia (and beyond); to be forever plagued by the tendrils of (un)reality.
As the personal trauma intensifies, the mind is ceremoniously fragmented, leading to catatonia and a relentless decline into an unresponsive state.
The individual personality is corroded; irreversible breakdown takes hold.
The body remains but it is now a shell; nothing worthwhile dwells within.
As past meets present, life as we know it has ceased.
Pure, distilled lamentations accompany the protagonist on a downward spiral to the depths of depravity, where repression and degeneration await.
Pitiful nothingness remains; life transmuted into shallow non-existence.
Ex | Ist ... desist.
