"When I think about who I am without music, I don't really know. Sometimes, something is so much a part of you..." (K.Angylus)
In 1999, K.Angylus (guitar, drums, vocals) and MDragynfly (bass, vocals) under a dark sky of Georgia discovered the pulsations of a new celestial body which they named The Angelic Process and observed it rotating in its whirling motion, which begins with "...And Your Blood Is Full Of Honey", goes through "Coma Waering", and in a very short time burns with an unusual intensity before coming to a premature halt in 2007.
With "Weighing Souls With Sand", their last album, drone chooses to deny its stereotypical claustrophobic and annihilating genre traits, it is tinged with the red of a pair of dazzling wings to cover oceanic distances of light, strong enough to challenge any human eye to withstand its gaze. Ten tracks like ten blocks of a cathartic sound wall, a barrier that never shows its boundaries, but reveals itself only in its extraordinary potential to radiate brilliant rays, annihilating the light scenario. An intense journey, accompanied by angelic, diaphanous presences, therefore intangible, moving against the backdrop of an impenetrable atmosphere, as it is accustomed to nourishing itself on spirals weighed down by sound consistency.
And for a moment it’s like feeling lost in your own vertigo, choosing to chase the power of the abyss to reach that glimpse of light that pulses nailed to the seabed, an anemic reflection of a sun whose existence you are unaware of, but which for centuries challenges the consistency of the water and keeps you alive, making you know if not the light, at least its warmth. But dazzled by that shimmer, you continue in the descent, all the more so as the light comes ever closer, and you already struggle to grasp it...

This album talks about suicide, it talks about the apocalypse, it talks about torn flesh, expansive spaces.
This album does not exist, but it lives and resonates in my ears as one of the most thrilling things I’ve heard in recent times.
