Debut release from the occult / alchemical doom project, Temple Of Gnosis.

There is no enlightenment without traveling through the darkness and the depths of your mind and spirit; deep in our subconscious is where the wisdom is and the singularity of our spirit waiting to be released and developed; light and darkness are not essentially different phenomena, they go together and act as a single dimension of which they are only the poles.

The release presents a musical exploration of Shadow, and it's a peculiar combination of dark ambient, doom / sludge riffs and death metal vocals, all supported by dark symphonies. The aim was to create a dark atmosphere that will introduce the alchemical "depths of the earth," the process of dealing with the Shadow and dark emotions, the way through the darkness to the light. Also, through music and artwork is symbolic permeate and many hidden aspects of mystical and esoteric traditions.

"Search Ye for the Black Dragon dwelling in the caves of your being.
Descend deep into the Unconscious and meet with the darkness of your Shadow. There shall Ye find your true Selves;
Then shall Ye be liberated from your Selves."
- H.M.T.
