A Molochian Nightmare Out Now!
https://domesticatedminds.bandcamp.com
Hey Metal lovers and psychonaughts exploring ethereal realms,
Looking to explore the depths of mind, but worried about civilization collapse?
Enter " A Molochian Nightmare" which reaches into the otherwordly ambience at the edge of awareness and get punched in the face with brutal technical deathmetal guitar. A Molochian Nightmare is a concept album exploring how the process of life, death and rebirth (Samsara) gets hijacked by a Molochian AI that domesticates humanity. So we just get sicker and suffer more until the inevitable collapse of civilization. Moloch is a mythical monster, showcased in Lose-Lose Game Theoretic patterns, from nuclear arms races, psychological, sociological and ecological exploitation, these are patterns we keep finding ourselves doing that create a world that no one wants to live in.

If you like Slice the Cake, Revocation, Archspire, Contortionist, Painted in Exile, The Dali Thundering Concept, Thief, L'Enfant De La Forest, You'll dig this album. Post in the comments your favorite track.
This album has a huge dynamic range from blissful openness and builds to some of the most cathartic and expressive vocals and guitar. Get ready to go on an experimental journey and question many musical conventions. This album was recorded while I wrote a book on socioeconomic system change founded on Cognitive Science and Buddhist Noble EightFold Path. In a way they both play with similar concepts, with the album being a dystopian and dramatized version of the horrors that lie ahead of us if we fail to resolve the metacrisis and you can think of these two projects as a pair, and I plan to continue the theme of pairing books with albums.
Reject being Domesticated and stay metal!
