Lo-fi ritualistic dark ambient. Sinister, whispered incantations, unsettling tape loops, intermittent percussion, and droning, doom-like guitars. Though it compiles tracks from three early demos, Lectionum Antiquarum plays like an album. Great for invoking the unknowable black spirits of the nocturnal void, or just getting high at 3 in the morning 'cause for once you don't have to work OR go to school tomorrow.

We wait for the ancient elders
We wait for them to speak
They speak in tongues
