Description
After seven long years Sentient Ruin orchestrates the towering return of Hell to the full-length album format through the monumental achievement of "Submersus", a masterwork of scope and vision that is destined to immortalize the legacy and magnitude of the project's unparalleled immensity and imagination. In yet another feat of unrivaled auditory heaviness which will further cement his status of visionary, MSW takes the listener once again deep into the abysses of inner turmoil and life's struggles, reaffirming the Oregon musician's inscrutable and unique ability to transform emotional torment into a masterclass of crushing sonic burden. Across its five abysmal movements "Submersus" recaptures the unfair and woeful essence of life which has driven the project from its inception almost twenty years ago, embobdying the affliction that shapes human existence as it's perpetually torn between ephemeral and fragile moments of respite, and their inexorable dissolution, as joy and hope are cyclically devoured back into the perpetual and storming vastness of circumstance and inevitability. Pessimism and resignation act as the inescapable tidal forces to this immense emotional abyss which implacably pulls all toward it, drawing life into the maelstrom as its devoured and crushed under its own weight, imploding under the crush-depth of unending sorrow and despondency.
