This album marks a visceral return to form, channeling the raw essence of inner torment and transcendence.Though the project has remained largely silent, Vestigial has never truly ceased to exist. In moments when the spirit was haunted by helplessness, a spark of catharsis inevitably ignited. That spark has now coalesced into Descending Vastness—an atavistic, liberating chant echoing through the oppressive ruins of contemporary society. It is both a confrontation and a requiem, composed at the intersection of horror and serenity, destruction and renewal.The album is a descent, a journey inward, into the deepest shadows of self and structure, where the grotesque and the sublime coexist. Yet within this vast inner descent lies a paradoxical glimpse of peace. That elusive serenity, always on the horizon, hints at an inevitable ascent: a transcendence beyond the constraints of human nature."Descending Vastness" is forged from fragments of time. Some tracks were written years ago; others have been reimagined, while many were reconstructed from remnants of vanished sessions. Despite, or because of, this fractured process, each composition stands as a vital part of the descent and a precursor to the ascent that follows.Sonically, the album oscillates between moments of seraphic contemplation and devastating force. It is an immersive experience of contrasting extremes: ambient stillness disrupted by cataclysmic power, subtle textures giving way to monolithic intensity."Descending Vastness" is not merely an album, it is an invocation, a mirror, a ritual.CD edition of 300 copies in 6 panel Digisleeve. 7 Tracks.

In the vein of Inade, Land:Fire, Lustmord and Loki Foundation outfits, this mysterious act propels the listener into an insane abyss filled with nightmarish soundscapes and experimental bliss.
