New Release
Samsaric Echo (single) - September 3, 2021
'Samsaric Echo' is a philosophical journey deep into the troughs of nihilism, where a concept similar to Nietzsche's eternal recurrence is confronted and explored. The idea that the entirety of our existence may be just one small iteration of a never-ending cycle between life and death.
"We are just a drop in the sea. Resonating through repetition. Calling out to nothingness. We receive the message we once sent: 'We are but an echo of samsara'"
