Exploring this fusion of technology and otherworldly communion, Opening the Portal experiments with the visceral and ethereal. It represents the tingling anticipation of first contact with a world beyond our own where the expressions of the dead are awakened, and the living are enveloped. 

Three opening tracks give listeners wayward glimpses into the spaces between worlds where stray apparitions dwell. The final track, clocking in at just over 15 minutes, is its own journey of conjuration. The slow-building ritual soundscape culminates in a wash of spirits converging in response to the technology-laced summons of Spiricom.

On Anthems for the Afterlife, the ephemeral content of these transmissions gives way as the energy from this new realm coalesces into a powerful series of messages driven by a mysterious, uncountable collection of elusive denizens.

Spiricom's Hammer of Witches EP glimpses the lengths to which the zealous will go in the pursuit of righteousness. Three companion pieces evoke how men wielded pain, fire, and unyielding conviction in the pursuit of holy purification. Competing spiritual forces create a cascade of textures.
