about

"Deluge & Devour" is an experimental spoken-word project featuring freshly learned (still a work-in-progress) harsh vocals (lows and gutturals, among other improvised techniques), occasionally combined with speaking and whispering, as well as a few other effects.

All lyrics/poetry are original. The content is entirely self-recorded and self-produced, so expect nothing of studio quality; however, I am happy with the crisp result and I hope you enjoy the ride.
