Watch the lyric video for "Leo Minor" on YouTube here: youtu.be/B90Ua54S-fA "Warm Glow of the End of Everything" is an exploration of liminality - a transitional space or time between two states of being. The album is inspired by the final transition into adulthood representing the fact that one’s youth is no longer accessible. It is an acceptance of the past with an anxious embrace of things to come. It represents the fear of forgetting or being forgotten by the people and places that once brought us immense joy. Liminality has been recently popularized by the phenomenon of ‘liminal space photography’ - an art style influenced by feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability captured through uncanny images of the real world. This album, instead, explores the softer side of liminality - acceptance that things are not always meant to last or evolve alongside you. The past is unreachable but future joys are always on the horizon. Musically, the album is built upon a primary blackgaze and post-black metal sound with frequent detours into doom metal, ambient synth, and emo. Clean singing is present at few but important instances. The album blends its influences less than previous works, opting instead of distinct moments of each stylistic approach. Fans of Deafheaven, Show Me a Dinosaur, Lantlôs, Holy Fawn, Der Weg einer Freiheit, and Unreqvited will feel at home here. "Rapture has left me alone - and I am afraid."
