Artist commentary:

pixelseph:

This one and the recent Clockstopper (New Game+ All Clocks%) were incepted during 2020, because there was finally enough time. Conceptually, it's like Tool meets Homestuck composer Joren "Tensei" de Bruin (particularly from his Strife record).

Monckat:

While her buddy revivifies in the backline, Rose prepares to give a very bad dog an exclusive sneak preview eldritch sommelier taste test of the Furthest Ring. Or she would be, if her ghost-white eyes weren’t betraying her ultimate fate.

This track is probably my fave on the album, so glad I got to do art for it!
