Brachyptery, the condition in insects of having vestigial wings and having lost the capacity of flight.
This is the cult of the dewinged, of the downcast and of the condemned.
With its ruinous sensorial assault, “Cultus Brachypter” initially evokes the war-torn bestial insanity of bands like PSEUDOGOD or TEITANBLOOD but as the onslaught progresses the listener soon realizes they are being drawn into a desolate, void-like inner world of dehumanized alienation reminiscent of Death Industrial acts like BRIGHTER DEATH NOW and MZ412.
“Cultus Brachypter” went largely ignored upon its original 2022 release, but its obscurity can be solely attributed to the hermetic extremism that defines it. In reality, a world is contained within these sixteen minutes and six movements of absolute eschaton. A world so impenetrable it takes complete sacrifice to enter it.
