Released in 2015 through Profound Lore, the album replaces black metal instrumentation with sparse analog electronics, damaged synth pulses, glitches, and repetitive rhythmic signals. Its sci-fi concept is inseparable from the sound: cold patterns appear, malfunction, repeat, and dissolve, creating an atmosphere somewhere between laboratory experiment, psychological conditioning, and malfunctioning artificial intelligence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShorter pieces such as \"Brain Saw\", \"Head Works\", and \"Psy Fall\" reduce the approach to tense bursts of mechanical abstraction, while \"Natural Laser\" allows the synthetic pulse to become more spacious and hypnotic.
