Alas, there was some kind of technical error and the piece was double commissioned. Beautifully presented - like they have finally been inaugurated into the Ritual pantheon, though in truth they may always have been the labels biggest draw. I originally wrote this for inclusion in Metal Hammer. supported by 27 fans who also own Beyond Ancient Space A track for each side again - We Are, We Were, We Will Have Been was the same - but no lack of anticipation for Bongs latest.
