Description
**AlienChrist: An Exploration of Hallucinogenic Doom Metal**
Recorded in 1994 at Gallagher Studios in Sterling, Virginia, *AlienChrist* is a groundbreaking album that showcases the intense synergy and technical evolution of its members: Jason Weir, V.Bee Somphone, Andy Sylvester, and Matt Sylvester. Moreover, this album is a compelling blend of hallucinogenic doom and intricate musicality. It is brought to life through immersive rehearsal sessions and the band’s experimental approach to creativity.
**Iconic Tracks from *AlienChrist***
The album features classic tracks that delve into surreal and intense themes:
– **”Ghosts”**: An exploration of an out-of-control LSD trip, this song captures the chaos and beauty of altered states.
– **”Visitors From Within”**: This track raises intriguing questions about the intersection of alien and human consciousness.
– **”Ritualistic Filth”**: A powerful and aggressive piece that conjures an unholy spell, summoning an abhorrent monster.
The final track, **”Mysteries Of The Worm,”** stands out as a neo-Christian epic comprising three segments. These include two previously recorded songs—”Mortal Realms” from the 1990 Realm Demo and “Remains of Jahveh” from *The Shades Below*. The new chapter, **”Thirst Of The Heretic,”** provides a climactic conclusion to the album.
Following its original release by Dutch label Cyber Music in 1995, *AlienChrist* was reissued in 2016 by Lost Apparitions Records. This coincided with the band’s reformation and a three-year live performance tour. The tour featured newly recruited member Mike Bossier. Furthermore, the album’s striking cover art, created by artist Phil Merkle, draws inspiration from a frame in the movie *Alien 3*.
