It calls me every day It’s always there I yearn to be free of this Confinement Intertwinement With what we know it is That entity right out there Onward it beckons As we now reckon In retreat we should be But immersed in this are we And now we see just what it is In what we now thrive And what we will likely not survive And although we’re inclined to Leak this realization To any nearby relation No value are they In any conceivable way There’s nothing they could afford to pay To make this situation Be resolved in any other way And once we’ve died It’s in you we’ve relied To evade the shadows The call of the black hand What draws us Back into their grip Every one of us has slipped Thus far

Induction Lead to reduction of what you once were Membership You’re now a part of something you can never leave Top of the line You’re now someone you never thought you’d become Separation From your brain as you no longer need to feel Segregation Withdraw you from where you started You’re one of ours now

They cannot hold out forever Soon one will break After what they’ve endured in this endeavor There is only so much one can take The intel we must retrieve Is vital to the entire cause We must be patient, proceed with ease Between each treatment withdraw and pause However, as things progress Think more broadly with your tactics They must, eventually, confess And the info, we will surely extract it This sector of defectors Tougher than others who have come through They continue to withhold And we must finally break through Get creative with the interrogation It is time to conquer the subject Our tactics require acceleration To nothing do we object

Sentient technologies Scanning patterns endlessly Collecting what they please Eliminating privacy Dissecting each fragment Collating the data Be it fresh or stagnant It’s all adapted to beta All properties are noted Amass the information Facts are re-coded For dissemination Tracking the movements Reporting the findings Implement improvements And continue mining Recognized patterns Are reported to headquarters Return to the tracking We’re just following orders An invasion Of algorithmic persuasion For every occasion There is no evasion

As the burning horizon draws near The end of times becoming ever more clear You’re nowhere near Masses anticipating that you’re going to appear Cowering in fear But to me it has always been clear You’re merely a veneer At the thought of salvation I sneer And put it all to the rear If you want to prove me wrong I’ll be ready to revere Burning it all down while I remain here

about

"Sunyata Ontology" is a collaborative album from North Carolina-based INTERSTITIA and New York-based GRIDFAILURE.

INTERSTITIA is the ambient, electronic, instrumental solo project of Graham Scala, also of Bleach Everything, US Christmas, Harmonic Cross, Collapse Culture, and more. Since its inception in 2019, the unit has released multiple albums, EPs, and singles, independently and through the Pax Aeternum label imprint which he co-operates. The output of INTERSTITIA is psychedelic and transportational, looping mutated techno rhythms and fried ambient textures into something immersive and disorienting.

GRIDFAILURE is the apocalyptic audiovisual solo project of David Brenner, also of Diminishing. With dozens of records and recordings released since its 2016 inception, GRIDFAILURE operates both as a solo act as well as a collaborator-heavy collective, with countless notable musicians taking part in the records and a rotating cast of live improvisers. While regularly releasing music through Nefarious Industries confirmed upcoming records for SuperNova Records, Anti-Corporate Music, Disorder Recordings, and more, a wide array of instruments, percussion, vocals, and more cast a suffocating style of dark ambient and experimental demoralization, infusing elements of jazz, world music, dark hardcore, extreme metal, and more.

Conceptually based in a new Cold War, Scala and Brenner merge their primary elements on the dense "Sunyata Ontology" collaboration. The ten movement album envisions a disparate not-too-distant dystopian America, with military/espionage tactics, civil unrest, off-the-grid cults and militant factions, covert government police, the takeover of artificial intelligence, and the looming threat of nuclear catastrophe more realistic than ever. The signature, psychotropic, sci-fi, techno beats and structures Scala creates with INTERSTITIA are here doused in ominous low-end tones and broken communications through an amorphous blend of GRIDFAILURE’s instrumentation, with Brenner’s demoralizing vocals sporadically erupting through the sulfuric fog.
