From hollow joy we sink to leaden sorrow, and past and future acquire a new charm from our sense of loss. So we wander aimlessly in the irretrievable past or in distant Utopias; but the fleeting moment we cannot grasp." (ERNST JÃœNGER)

"Having developed a strong cult following with their limited CD-R, a split LP, and compilation works, Vestigial (Italy) come forth with their debut CD poised to establish themselves among the dark ambient elite. The Translucent Communion - a reflection of the hollow and imaginary archetype of our civilization , a blackened view on the humanity falling into a perfect nothingness of technocratic illusions, a refined and well designed disharmony for our next generation. 6 tracks that arise from the shadows, then spread and sweep across a barren, wind swept landscape, creating a sound so thick and texturally deep it swallows the earth like a venomous fog. Comparisons to Raison D'Être, Lustmord and Bad Sector are reference points, but only hint at the massive potential of Vestigial."
Presented in a lavishly designed 6-panel, partially varnished digipak.

"Italy's Vestigial presents an immense stream of pitch black ambience infused with dark tectonic upheavals and voice fragments that boil forth from a seething flood of magma before sinking back into the molten stew. The ancient sounds of the Earth as scorched by devastating waves of brooding Fire."

"The debut release of this Italian project is 3"mcd featuring 4 irresistible tracks in the purest dark ambient tradition. Comparisons with some main projects like Raison D'Être, Lustmord and Bad Sector are just a reference standing for the potential of Vestigial. The listener will feel like lost in a nihilistic soundscape of horror. Tracks like "The grey constellation" and "Dagda rising" will lead you in a state of extreme angst. "Aeon" just begins where darkness stops and this is quite a long time ago that I've been under the influence of such a band! This release is strictly limited, but an absolute must have for heavy dark ambient lovers! This is a class-act!" (SIDELINE MAGAZINE)
