Only Now - Eternal Binding (2019)

Following in the wake of well received appearances on Infinite Machine and Discrepant’s fledgling imprint Sucata Tapes, Eternal Binding reprises and expands upon the heavy submergence of Arora’s prior outings as Only Now, bringing together amorphous shadings of black metal and industrial with febrile Kuduro rhythms.

Recorded between 2017 & 2019,Eternal Binding opens with The Scales, an overture that embodies the project’s sound universe with smash & run beat cycles and scorched, monumental riffs. Meanwhile The Stand adopts computer feedback, resonation techniques and feedback loops to conjure a deep, bleeding edge, ego-dissolving journey that touches on themes of time, space and existence. Concluding with Ejection, Arora acknowledges the significant influence of Berlin School krautrock and kosmische - particularly Popol Vuh's Aguirre I - as choral elements emerge midway through a revelatory finale.

Altogether Eternal Binding represents a response to profound subject matter for Arora; a contention with the human condition, enslavement to time, fatherhood and a desperate attempt to make sense of it all.
