Underrated album, underrated musician, underrated music genre. There are many layers to this album, and Ruptured World makes it very easy to get lost in the story that unfolds through these pieces. It makes excellent music to listen to both attentively and as ambience. A few lines from Before the Nothingness Abounds particularly struck me as profoundly and despondently and yet beautifully nihilistic:
Entire galaxies collide
The den of chaos erupts
In a beauteous conflagration of colors
The dust of eons breaks into further dust
As inevitable as doom is rife
Before the nothingness abounds
