Rotting Cosmic Grief

Heretical Sect is a reclusive collective fixated on the physical and spiritual genocides of the Southwest. The Southwest; represented through a nostalgic lens of cowboy culture, rarely exposes the most brutal atrocities of American history. Churches chained shut and lit on fire with the congregation inside, severed limbs piled in the streets, and disease and slavery are burned into the memory of the landscape. These horrors are sonically juxtaposed against the natural beauty of the high desert. Expansive skies, deep canyons, painted red rocks, all witnesses to untold butchery and grief. Heretical Sect features members of other prominent Santa Fe, New Mexico bands, such as Predatory Light or Superstition. May all life learn to die.
