The Black Iron Prison

The album distills a lifetime of extra-musical experience and readings, in particular Gnostic texts, Philip K Dick, and the alchemical phases of the Magnum Opus, starting with the initial Nigredo; a fundamental step, that was also chosen as the main image for the album artwork. The title, "The Black Iron Prison", is drawn from the Philip K Dick concept of an all-pervasive system of social control; a description that is particularly apt and meaningful in 2020. Released via Subsound Records on 6th November 2020 Publishing: Narcotica
