With time, these songs took many twists and turns, layers were laden one after another, and the labyrinth grew more complex and serpentine. So, “The Third Level Of Decay” is play between two elements – blunt, primitive, and ‘physical’ core and spectral, unconscious, and ‘spiritual’ details. And that third level, death of deaths, humming over this all.” ABSOLUTE KEY will be making its live debut at this year’s Invicta Requiem Mass festival.
