David Thrussell is a musician, mystic, writer and accelerationist. Notorious for his cynical, satirical and conspiratorial musings as Snog and Black Lung, what is less known is that Thrussell has a deep and abiding interest in the esoteric and occult (perhaps best glimpsed through his Soma project with Pieter Bourke).

Thrussell believes that the only cure for the world's many ills is to precipitate their hasty and catastrophic arrival through frequency, action and veiled ritual. A subtle occultist, Thrussell acknowledges the alchemy of pure sound under the influence of noted music producers like Rick Rubin and has studied further philosophical and theologic traditions with adepts of the Theosophical Society.

THE REIGN OF DEAD MATTER is Thrussell's purest and most essential recording. It is ritual music - music recorded through ritual practice and for the practice of ritual. As the new dark age of the Kali Yuga rises to its apocalyptic end, as those few seers 'ride the tiger' of chaos and tumult, so too the inner and outer workings must continue.

Though entirely appropriate as headphone listening, THE REIGN OF DEAD MATTER is designed and built to be played loud in the cathedrals of nature, reverberating through ancient forests and secret valleys. It is the sound of the dying cosmos reborn - life celebrated through sacrifice, destruction and renewal.

Recorded live in private concert at the Melbourne Lodge of the Theosophical Society, midnight December 21st, 2025.
