Drowning the Light - "Enslaved by the Cave & Paradise Slaves" Vinyl LP
12" marbled coloured vinyl LP with insert.
"Paradise Slaves" & "Enslaved by the Cave" are two EPs bound together by different concepts of mental and spiritual enslavement consuming mankind, now brought together on one 12" vinyl!
Spitting forth raw, melancholic and majestic Black Metal in Drowning the Light's unique way!
"Paradise Slaves" delves into the weakness of mankind being slaves to their delusions of paradise, enslaved by feeble dogmas of corrosive and crumbling belief systems, as well as exploring the darker mindset that some serial killers have expressed, that those they kill will become their slaves in the afterlife.
"Enslaved by the Cave" focuses on the herds blind grasp of "reality" using Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" as a point of reason but with a Setapophian twist on said allegory.
We live in a time of spiritual decay as civilization further erodes and humanity enslaves itself within that cave. When presented with the Black Flame burning bright, the weak close their eyes and grasp onto their mortal coil in fear because their whole reality is just an illusion and they are but slaves to it.
The sonic aspects of both these EPs are much like the burning light outside of the cave. For many it will sound like a wall of raw noise, putting the herd off and making them retreat to comfort (returning to the shackles of the cave). But for those who allow their ears to adjust, the harshness soon becomes something else - melody, truth and spirit hidden within!
Limited to 150 copies and only available through Dark Adversary Productions.
