Nebulous Appendages of Vacillant Seafoam
Sallow Moth
Shimmering scales, soft glow and bulbous enamor A smooth touch of the growths beneath the waters Doctored by interdimensional waves Caressed by the tribes, menagerie of ex-military, scientists, thieves, and prison world sentinels, sentinels Derelict ships in the aqueducts Minerals, bodies, and metals collide Bubbles erupt from lurkers below Seafoam flickering with various bodily fluids Tendril, pili, mandibular palps Antennae, chrome exopod, nanowire Nanowire dopamine Tasting another world, salivary gel synthesized Synthesized and manifested Engineers racing against the deep water fiends The evolution culminates together A world of curiosity and oddity Victorious of purpose, laborious in its pursuit To wet the brain of the fallen By the touch of here Rejuvenated By the luscious leaves Iridescent Incoherent voices murmur One must submerge A new appendage grows with a tickling sensation Unknown nerves Diatoms amalgamate Diatoms amalgamate Lighten, lighten Seek, seek the temple and the incarnations Incarnation extrapolated Tropical, hidrotic aromas emanate Whispers and chants spring To learn a new language Submerge deeper, eat the light Fins creep Creep

Vinyl/CD available for preorder via Willowtip Records. Artist copies will be available here near release date.

Hydrophilous Brood takes place in Pamugara, a dimensional nest immersed in a lush world where organisms are rematerialized into new hybrid species after passing through a powerful portal, a highly unpredictable artifact known as the ‘Mossbane Lantern’. Each song has a thematic connection to various artifacts on the previous album (Mossbane Lantern), extrapolating the characteristics and aftereffects of those artifacts within this temperamental environment of a planet.

Musically, Sallow Moth goes hand in hand with the aforementioned lyrical themes of transformation in that the continuous evolution of the project has become a signature feature with each album. This album retains a portion of the genre-shifting approach of previous works, but deliberately exhibits more focus on the intersection of technical death metal and brutal death metal, especially with the addition of a highly skilled drummer in Allen Gingerich. Notable influences on Hydrophilous Brood include Mortal Decay, Wormed, Deeds of Flesh, Cephalic Carnage, and Cynic.
