Masterminded by Portland, Oregon-based musician T. Messing (Rohit, Nux Vomica) Rotting Sky's 2014 masterpiece and sole full-length album "Sedation" still towers grandiose and inscrutable as defiant testament of a vision that remains unrivaled and unparalleled to this day, over a decade after it was first conceived. A swarming and sweeping creative tour de force conquering expressive totality from deep within the most tense and concealed folds of inner turmoil and personal struggle, "Sedation" plumbs the darkest depths of inner torment to deflagrate as a marvelous manifestation of sonic catharsis, immortalized into the present as one of the most enduring, moving and soul-shattering underground experimental black metal creations of the past decade. Adhering religiously to its foundational principles of withdrawal, isolation, confinement, and frugal self-empowerment, "Sedation" accretes from a myriad of field recordings, samples, guitar pedal layering, and home-made DIY recording tactics, to embody a massive colorless monolith of industrialized sonic abandon. A majestic convergence of dungeon-creeping raw black metal, disembodied power electronics, industrial noise and dirging funeral doom, ascending and spiraling into an obsidian maelstrom of despair. The foundational seclusion driving other recluse experimental and industrial leaning black metal projects such as Nortt, Gnaw Their Tongues, Paysage d'Hiver, Sutekh Hexen and even Khanate (a song of which inspired the project's name) has convergently evolved similar stylistic traits in Rotting Sky, materializing a majestic and impenetrable aural specter in which the artist's unique personal state drives musical vision and transformation almost more than their creative skills alone.
