The beauty of the abyss is an exploration of the relationship between religious ecstacy via ritual and the hypnotic euphoric experience of dance music. An attempt to combine and create the hypnotic states of religious processes such as prayer ritual or meditation with the mantric hypnosis of tribal dance music. Part of the process was trying to make modern electronic instrumentation sound somehow ancient, which has become the drive of the Heretic project. A desire to make cutting edge ancient ritual dance music. This EP is the most successful results of this experiment. Faith Disciplines is a sublabel of Subsist Records, and focused on more experimental sound territories.
