TUNNELS OF ĀH (TUNNELS OF AH) — Thus Avici

" 'Firstly, the punishment is meted out day and night, kalpa after kalpa, without a moment�s interruption or relief. Thus Avici'. �Thus Avici� is the second album from Tunnels Of Ah (Stephen Ah Burroughs / Head Of David). The title references �the sutra of bodhisattva Ksitigarbha�s fundamental vows�, a section of which Burroughs reads daily in homage to Ksitigarbha whom Burroughs pledged �entreaty and supplication� under solemn tantric oath 20 years ago. Tantric buddhism, christian mysticism and personal magick make up the subject matter for �Thus Avici�. Where traces of 2013′s �Lost Corridors� album can be heard, �Thus Avici� is a harder, more focused offering. Shards of distorted noise, ritual drums, caustic drones and haunted vocals make �Thus Avici� a dark hallucinatory swoon into the hinterland of the Tunnels Of Ah. The dull blue light of brute-world calls." [label info]
