Artist: Mastery
Label: Flenser
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 723175699076
Genre: Rock
Limited second vinyl LP pressing with new cover art. Valis is the first proper Mastery full-length and the most extreme record The Flenser has ever released. As it's name and sigil demands, Mastery is a vessel to ascend the partial mind; one impulsive and chaotic, the other of collected illumination. A meditation unto the subconscious. The black metal entity is the product of mastermind Ephemeral Domignostika (Pale Chalice, Pandiscordian Necrogenesis, Horn of Dagoth). Once a follower in the tradition of fellow Bay Area acts Leviathan, Crebain and Weakling, Mastery has evolved into something more. Valis is like a form of free jazz black metal-twisted and complex, with upwards of 100 riffs per song. Eschewing traditional songwriting and conceptual forms, Domignostika creates through spontaneous composition, cut ups and free performance. His extremely unique guitar style, polyrhythmic drum patterns and urgent vocal delivery be lie the fact that Valis is the work of one person playing everything with the utmost intentionality.
