Civilization is an exploration into the Aghoric consciousness.
Decay beautified and filth devoured. Tinged with visits from
Shiva and Kali: steeped in Vedic precepts and untouchable
esthetics. It is about the erosion of the psycho-cultural
landscape. And what comes after that erosion is complete.
All the lyrics are narrated by John over drifting waves of
ambience and texture. The most obvious sonic reference is
Coil, and meditative chant.
Also included here
are two variant remnants from the recording sessions: Ghul
and Nightcrawlers.
