Altered Zones

An onslaught of burst beats, pagan riffs, and searing guitars pummel headlong towards the void, rejoicing in every fall, worshipping every grimace, venerating every slip of the bloody hands as they try to grip icy crevices lining their endless ascent up the holy mountain. "Immortal Life" is a hymn to the infinite ubiquitously sung through the sharp teeth of the finite world. In the words of Hunter Hendrix (Liturgy’s primary architect), “I think there are two ways to [glorify the infinite]. One is to float around in it in a blissful stasis, and another is to take it as a horizon and eternally approach it via finite steps, as a more dynamic sort of thing, ‘not this, or that, or this, or that, or this or that’, always towards it.” That horizon is no nearer than your death and no further than this moment. Your vision is rendered obsolete by its blinding white light. (via 20 Jazz Funk Greats)
