1.	Proclamations Designating the Birth of Innovation 03:35	lyrics
Proclamations designating the birth of innovation, take heed! Through synthetics we have climbed, creating intangible truths. We must revert back to the natural order.
2.	Recitations of Notable Seismograph Etchings 06:51	info
3.	Psalms Rejoicing the Salt-Water Grave 09:40	lyrics
Humans will never stray from the path of least resistance; Helpless creatures destined for the womb. Psalms rejoicing the salt-water grave. Amen.
4.	Harmony Triumvirate with the Devil 04:17	lyrics
This is your harmony triumvirate with the Devil. We bring about our own end! We bring about our own end! Devastate and destroy what we have not worked for to ensure our fucking end.
5.	Prologue : Mors Humanitas 03:00	lyrics
In a time archaic and perilous due to delusions of material necessity, one soul viewed the ways things COULD BE instead of as they WERE. Thus initiated the beginning of the end.
6.	Air: Sporastic Tolling Bells 03:00	lyrics
Outside the walls of constructed boundaries, where order is determined not to conceived ideas; to the fields and streams of sacred grounds. The vision of rebirth floating like mist through the AIR...
7.	Earth: Impending Thunderous Roar 03:00	lyrics
Across desolate landscapes and cities deconstructed; charcoal skies overhead, atmospheres of doom linger like fog over the decomposing aura of a swamp. The core of the EARTH rumbling to signal imminent demise...
8.	Sea: Subterranean Oceanic Cemetary 03:00	lyrics
Damnation rising in the final crescendo as pummeling waves crash down, a symphony of enlightenment turns into an all-encompassing sheet of sound. A most worthy grave to eternally rest; the blackened depths of the SEA.
9.	Void: Society's Infernal Holocaust 03:00	lyrics
Distant hallowed screams plague canyons of the abyss, the fiery glow of flesh and mineral burned from the surface up. A self-destructing VOID consumes all within it...
10.	Epilogue: Renavatio Naturae 03:00	lyrics
As eras passed, so too did the topsoil churn and the ground REBUILD, the ashes of man-made failure fertilizing the ever-expanding growth. A new chapter in the history of NATURE unfolds.

//////////

An excruciatingly complex masterpiece of epic proportions, Herald the Harbinger… contains a timeless narrative of humanity’s inability to overcome in times which demand great sacrifice, continuing the cycle of destruction and rebirth which nature has triumphed over throughout time. With a concept that parallels our modern synthetic society against that of ancient civilization, a storyline cohesive in all eras arises from the ashes of mankind’s self-wrought tragedies.

Two albums worth of material on two appropriately chosen mediums present a high-fidelity compact disc recording of Hail Architeuthis! in their chaotic and crushing live format captured live to vintage 2-track 1/4″ tape, the other a low-fidelity cassette which serves as a multi-dimensional cinematic soundtrack to the accompanying literature.

Five inch white reel to reel box with 3 color black/white/silver silk-screened wrap on light-grey or ice blue cardstock. Professionally replicated & glass-mastered CD’s with full color offset printing on the disc face. Brushed metallic nickel spray-painted cassette tapes with rubber-stamped artwork in white ink. Scroll inkjet-printed on silver vellum in 2 colors. 2-color inserts in base of each side of reel box printed on clear vellum. Vellum obi-wrap around box with blue or black inkjet printing; serial number stamped in silver silkscreen ink or black ink and sealed with a silver wax seal.

Limited to 150 copies - 65 blue / 85 grey

about

Hail Architeuthis! Bloomington, Indiana

With an emphasis on exploring variations of musical extremes by enlisting every attainable audio frequency, Hail Architeuthis! aims to overwhelm the listener both visually and audibly with an excess of acoustic and electronically-amplified instruments and manipulation devices where the theatrically-layered dynamics of classical arise from beneath walls of ear-shattering harmonized feedback. ... more
