Concept:
Servant of Entropy is a story about a mentally ill woman and her distorted beliefs overshadowing her concept of reality. Even the simplest of matters are rendered incredibly complex and full of spiritual messages. It all slowly conquers the remains of her sanity and the real world turns into a mere curtain of symbolism. She perceives herself as possessed by a sinister angel, a minion of chaos in the grand balance of the universe. Her purpose is to cause everything around her to suffer and deteriorate until there's nothing left to spoil.
Artist's comments:
The album is a demonic fantasy themed piece of dark ambient with concentration on minimalism and vast dark atmospheres. This is the most minimalistic release of Dereleech so far in many ways. Main properties include long bassy drones, desolate ambient fields, various distorted samples and choral/vocal effects, barely audible melodies and rhythms buried under walls of noise/drone, and also occasional cleaner synth parts. The album's mood shifts through slow eerie journeys into the end's more chaotic form. The album is continuous and meant to be listened to as a whole. Most tracks, if detached from the full work, will probably sound abrupt and weird.
