Bay Area vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ephemeral Domignostika puts out solo material as Mastery. With Valis, he's crafted one of the more challenging black metal albums in recent memory.

In an attempt at....something...Mastery has only managed to present itself as a jester in the guise of a philosopher.

I really liked the vocals, the instrumentals were messy as fuck but in a way i really enjoyed, very interesting!

Constant headbangs when this was playing, which worries me because I may have a stroke or an aneurysm. Worth it ๐Ÿ‘
