the world became another since the release of »decadent yet depraved« and belief defect's reflection of it: now darker, political, honest - end times in cinemascope.

When the duo reunited in the studio after the 2 year fracture covid inflicted on reality, the album that had been on pause all this time seemed insufficient against whatever life had morphed into, while humanity hid from itself.

Finishing an album coherent to the present moment took prolonged studio shut-ins that proved to be as cathartic as the struggle sessions of the cultural revolution must have been.

»desire and discontent« unfolds like a parable, structured by subsonic frequencies that give arrangements a solid gravity, dissonant chord progressions resulting in coherent movements, punctuated by human-like voices over slow, suspenseful melodies that come into being without the listener's awareness.

contributing to the album with machine-like precision drumming is merlin ettore, vocals from anna gartner and the artwork of juan mendez (silent servant).
