I am the winding stair that reaches through me. I like the waters I swim in. My home, this is here and everwhere. I am tomorow and the sunset breeze. I wait for no one. My skin does not save me. Calls came in like a storm. I sat and waited for lies. I am the spent wick. Dropped from a higher flame. We search for anything. We search for anything. For the pain of all that there just is. Someday I can see it, I will realise this cardboard jungle has no animals or trees. I am tomorrow and the sunset breeze.

Highly variable black metal with a lot of progressive passages, a good amount of atmosphere, and splashes into the avantgarde. Captivating and attention-keeping music. 7/10 RJ
Heretical Sect use blackened death-doom to deconstruct the tropes of the American Southwest, turning cowboy culture on its head. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 23, 2020

i havent listened to this band since the Old Chamber released. Life happened and sadly I forgot about this band for a bit. coming back and theres been a couple other releases I need to check out. Ive always loved prog and always loved black metal, however for the last 6 years, finding high quality prog has really become difficult, as it seems many bands have just become formulaic and thats not what prog is supposed to be. This is exactly what I was looking for! 4/5 ClassyMusicSnob
