Dying Celestial Bodies

Astral black metal. Shadowed music like vines growing around the spine, for when everything is frozen and black. ANAFTAP is 22 minute long aural composition complete with submicro and macro atonals humming and droning, following medical evidence to put the listener into deep hypnosis/mesmerization, then into effortless slumber. This document over 70 minutes in length!

A complete version of the song with an ambient outro appeared later:
