Crystal Desert

2 DAYS.

📷 - Housetornado Multimedia

Throwback to the practice space: A storage unit on the outskirts of Everett which we practically lived in thru 2016.
It was constantly evolving. We used it for writing, rehearsal, late night psychosis, shooting photos & album art, recording demos, etc.

To unlock this dungeon, you only need one ritual item: the Black Summer Postmortem Edition cassette.

It is an arcane physical totem for the strange moment this all came from (+ a download code!)

Very limited quantity.

THE TRUTH HAS BEEN UNEARTHED: Crystal Desert is officially back.
Join us on Friday July 18th at Black Lodge for ONE FINAL DISTURBING SCREAM before we catapult back into the nega-maw of sweet, sweet death.

After 8 long years, our ragged corpses have been RE-EMBALMED for public display.
Can we still contort our limbs in the ways we used to?
Can we still produce the FOUL SOUNDS that you love so much?
What new horrific schemes may be hiding up our decomposing sleeves???
There's only one way to find out, and that's by getting your tickets NOW.

Friday, July 18.
Wear all black.

BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY DERELICT WE'RE DREDGING UP. Joining us will be long-time comrades/fellow fallen soldiers/secret back-alley lovers Actionesse.
Even more announcements soon.
Evening of Darkness 2.
