STEP ØNE (IN 5 EASY STEPS) is the sonic initiation to A.R.K. (auditory repair kit). Essential listening for essential physio-psychotropic preparation. The introduction is strategically designed by JOEL GRIND (Toxic Holocaust) to elicit a haunting familiar frequency meant to quantize the listener’s mental state in preparation for a psychic cognitive reset. The primary riff of ‘STEP ØNE’ has been lab tested to optimize endorphin and heart rate elevation. Messaging and lyrical content are highly refined affirmations designed for maximum re-alignment. Guest VØX are supplied via THEØ KØGAN (Lunachicks) and LUCY PIERCE providing multi-gender and generational insight. STEP ØNE is to be timed with the initial DØSE of PØWER DRØPS with its effects manifesting as the song’s VØM culminates in the final 5 step directive.
SWALLØW commences with a flanged bass frequency that launches a ROGER MIRET (Agnostic Front) warning, “You’ve got to make your CØRE hard, if you want to be HARD CØRE!”, an elevated message from the one of the godfathers of NY Hard Core music. SWALLØW speaks to the physical and mental foundation that ØUR plan instills in the PRIME CANDIDATE. The core riff and messaging delineates the ‘ØPEN’ mindset and climaxes into yet another appropriated lead from SHANE TRIMBLE (High Reeper) as Kogan’s searing yowl transcends under Miret’s directive for PRIME CANDIDATES to “ENJØY THE FIGHT!”. SWALLØW’s lyrical touchstones reference PØWER DRØPS and the sweeping focus overtaking the PRIME CANDIDATE’s initiation.
PRISØN LØGIC exhumes the psychic survival techniques designed to enlighten the PRIME CANDIDATE introducing the realm of both mental and physical self-liberation. PRISØN LØGIC was birthed as a singular acoustic video offering via legendary guitar innovator PARRIS MAYHEW (Cro-Mags) as the VØM messaging materializes from MIKE IX WILLIAMS (Eyehategod). Williams has an intimate understanding of confinement and the institutionalization of one’s mind. Kogan’s blessed vocals are fractals of aural Blondie resonance intertwined with the dueling guitar leads of GINA VOLPE (Lunachicks) and Trimble cultivating in a comforting frequency that coats the closing message in an easily ingested amalgamation of THE PØSITIVE.
CØNTRØL was introduced as a completed sonic offering, recorded by NYBM luminary PAUL DELANY (Black Anvil, KillYourIdols). The companion lyrics and messaging are a vital reminder the PRIME CANDIDATE must submit to the program to be discharged from the a futile need to control THE NEGATIVE. The inflection of a swarming commitment counters a diminished understanding of our own limitations and our ability to transcend them is ingrained in the post punk blackened composition. Kogan and SEAN PIERCE (Toilet Böys) construct a new wave pop sensibility to counter the crushing doom of the finale. Referencing the ascension of the TIERS, “YOU”RE CLIMBING!”, is confirmation that THE PATH of the PRIME CANDIDATE is encouraged and supported by TØP TIER and that your PØWER DRØP exposure is working.
INITIUM FIRE/GØLD solidifies challenges of the PRIME CANDIDATE within a Killing Joke staccato of commitment and resolve. This is the dark before the storm, the beginning of THE SWEAT. Kogan and DONITA SPARKS (L7) deliver a vocal prowess in the choruses focusing a ferocious but encouraging message, while sternly reprimanding that, “No one rides for free”. The highly effective lead from Volpe stimulates neural repair when the PRIME CANDIDATE rejects THE NEGATIVE and enters into THE TASKS. Doubt and weakness give way to virtue and purity. The fortunes are incalculable, the freedom boundless. Preparation is now indoctrination.
MEDI(C + T)ATIØN is another complete offering from Paul Delany. VICTORIA STAR and Kogan provide the siren’s call to breathe and reflect. This mid-program oasis is for weary PRIME CANDIDATES after rejecting the pain of human experience and onslaught of THE NEGATIVE. Forging a robust foundation for the second half of the INFINITE 8 experience, you now expedite your ascension. There is no rearview mirror, you are now PURE MØTIVATIØN.

HEL FØN ÁGNUM KLÁR FØN BRYN ÀND LICHT FØN GÁST is pure psychic rejuvenation by Thomas Haywood and John Bart Van Der Wal
PAY TØ PLAY is MØTIVANTIØN’s mantra of excellence and prosperity. There is no growth without pain, and freedom has a cost. Messaging is aggressive, a harsh reminder that PRIME CANDIDATE can not exist without MØTIVATIØN. Kogan, Miret, and new comer RICHIE LONG (No Option) assume a combative aural stance to those relegated to THE NEGATIVE. A keyboard track via RODDY BOTTUM (Faith No More) accents the acute frequency to inject the messaging to the precisely targeted neural pathway. Tributes are past due. The world owes you nothing, YØU GET WHAT YØU GIVE!
ØPEN delves into the psyche of the PRIME CANDIDATE to reconfigure the mental baseline into a state of ‘ØPEN’. Establishing the subconscious mindset allows for maximizing growth and satisfaction, while minimizing THE NEGATIVE. Kogan’s is the temptress call of MØTIVATIØN, relieving PRIME CANDIDATE of THE FILTH, freeing THE PIG. EDLY ODOWD (Psychic TV) provides a sui generis ‘water phone’ track that pierces the phrenic shell and allows a direct pathway to prosperity amplification and expansive mindset within the PRIME CANDIDATE. PAY TØ PLAY, top performance reaps riches.
Intoxicated answers... "REVELATIØN DENIED" The riffs were floating in the cosmos and the only way we were able to grasp them was to solve a vastly complicated differential equation that came from a Vision. This Vision came to Erik in the form of a waking hallucination while He was up for 3 days looking out the shutters of a seedy hotel room window 20 years ago. This Vision became a doorway to the unknown. Once the equation was solved (a 20 year effort), the song was written and recorded in a matter of hours. Obituary's Ken Andrews obtained the key to the final variable via solo, communication, 010110010101

SPØILS/ZENITH - the first chapter ’SPØILS’ gives one last and most important directive to PRIME CANDIDATE. ‘Ask and you shall receive’ is a paradigm for success delivered via Kogan with a sonic modulation courtesy Bottum’s keyboard. PRIME CANDIDATE has defeated THE NEGATIVE and is now acclimated to THE PØSITIVE. PØWER, MØNEY, MØRE is now yours. Your tributes have paid dividends and the universe awaits your voice. The Aria delivered by Star provides the proper cultural elevation befitting your new status. Take what you want, it is yours and MØTIVATIØNS.
The second chapter ‘ZENITH’ is the triumphant conclusion to THE PLAN. Reedus, the late GENESIS P ORRIDGE (Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and a percussive army soldiered by ANDY DUVAL (Zen Guerrilla, Carlton Melton) and JOE LETZ (Combicrist) craft a soundscape drenched in resolve, success, and infinite wisdom. Through PRIME CANDIDATE’S training, sacrifice, and tributes, one is reborn, no longer a creature bound by reality. Welcome to ZENITH. Your journey begins.
