Mossbane Lantern: A powerful, green-encrusted lantern hidden on an icy plane. This highly coveted artifact allows humans to temporarily displace their corporeal form and teleport short distances within the plane they are on, while granting non-humans the ability to teleport over greater distances, including interdimensional travel.
Mossbane Lantern serves as an extension to the anthological format of the Vial EP, revolving around various esoteric artifacts. Each song depicts a story of a different traveler's experiences on their unique path to the Mossbane Lantern, as well as the aftereffects of activating it in conjunction with these other artifacts.
Notable influences on this album: Akercocke, Cynic, Cephalic Carnage, Wormed, Mortal Decay, Biolich, Edge of Sanity, maudlin of the Well, Bark Psychosis, Funeral Diner.
