Der Ohlsen
"Fossa Magna imprisons the global failure of man, the painful inevitabilty of mankind’s self-destruction - and unleashes it back upon us in relentless waves. [...] There’s no escapism, no cathartic channelling of aggression. We’re just taking a merciless beating with the bleak bat of existence."

"It is believed that the Japanese archipelago was once divided into east and west, and that tectonic movements gradually fused the eastern and western land masses.
The fusion of the two is Fossa Magna, which is connected by a series of volcanoes that contain vast amounts of underground energy.
I named this project Fossa Magna in the hope that, like Fossa Magna, the three of us will fuse our individual personalities and cultures to create a new, unique, and powerful musical energy."

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
