ROPE SECT (Ger) – ‘Estrangement’ CD

As always, ROPE SECT underpin that sonic portent with thematic lyrics. Estrangement vaguely is a kind of mental prequel to Personae Ingratae story-wise, exploring the thought why people (would) feel estranged and seclude themselves from society and form their own sect. “It can be seen as a reflection of all the ruins we are surrounded by,” state the band, “the increasing reign of pessimism over optimism in a world that seems to have doomed itself as well as expressing a sense of not belonging and the connected urge to escape all this and live by your own rules in your own little world, passing all the warning signs of human kind going astray.” The album fittingly / dramatically concludes with the pulsing resignation of “Rope of the Mundane Love,” featuring guest vocals by King Dude.
