After waking and realising that its suicide attempt at the end of the last album has failed the titular Angel leaves and attempts to find meaning and a purpose, it lands in a burnt out forest where it contemplates it's existence, there is it met by Death who tells the Angel that God commanded the world be destroyed as he viewed the world as a failure and humanity had become to debased and degraded.
The Angel is angered and blames God for it's suffering as it was born before the world ended and attempts to fly to heaven to take vengeance but fails and falls back to the earth. It retreats in fear and attempts to find comfort and solace in its hate. Here it is met by the Ghosts from the first album and they show it a prophecy of the future, that if it dies the world would be full of nothing but worms and parasites. The Angel sees this and decides to take control of its own destiny and accept what has happened to it and try to forge a new path, accept its darkness and denounce God.
A much rawer affair than the last album, this was formed after a period of turmoil where I wrestled with identity and where to take the project after the last album. I decided to take it back to basics, raw and furious black metal with an atmospheric edge to it. Drawing inspiration from the past and moving forward. I decided to cover Nachtmystium as well as they are a big inspiration and I am a huge fan of their work and it fit the sound and theme of the album.
