When you finally reach the horizon line You can see the rest of the world in your eyes And the sun is setting and the night is rolling in Rest now, it's just the beginning While the days go long, and the weeks go longer Something will have to change And when it does, you'll know you shall remain And you'll find a reason to change And when you reach the horizon line I know you'll find a reason to rise

about

Decaying Into the Other Reality is the third album by No Wave/Metal project, Vrishika Closing. This eighty-two minute behemoth (at least for VC) is packed with eight long (bar the seventh) tracks about a world falling to pieces. Typical Vrishika Closing stuff. The album split into two sides: The Wilbur Side (Or "The Withering Side") and the Rafe Side (or "The Bleed Through Side"). While one's more about a societal collapse of a world, the other is about the physical collapse of a world.

Rafe's Note: When making this album, I did not expect it to go over an hour, but it did. I recently got a multi-effects pedal, and we've been having a lot of fun with it, as evident with this album. The idea to split the album up into sides came after we finished all the songs. We fronted four songs each. Will fronted one through four, while I fronted five through six. This album also ends with our second instrumental under the Vrishika Closing name; a fourteen minute nightmare that slowly grows in intensity. It also had our sweetest Vrishika Closing track: "When You Reach the Horizon Line". The only light shining in this cimmerian tunnel of an album. Also, as I was recording that track, Wilbur sat down to write the first actual lyrics for Vrishika Closing for the song "The Beginning of the End". I still need to get those lyrics, but when I can, I'll put them up.

I am really proud of my drumming on this album. Honestly, I think this is some of my best drumming I've done, period. Of course, there are other songs out there I think I did really good on, but this album as a whole is what I think I did the best on as a drummer. I also pushed my vocal to the limit, especially on the song "Bleeding Through Realities" where I truly actually scream on, which I don't really do. I may shout or growl, but not scream. Yet, there I did.

I would like to think Wilbur and his family, James, my friends and family, and everyone who has stuck with us all. Depression and stress are not fun, and it's a constant fight, but I'm still around. I refuse to go down, and people like you make it easier to get through that fog. Take care of yourselves.



Will’s Note:

I feel like in this Vrishika Closing album, I more so embraced the metal influences instead of trying to push them away. I really wanted to just do something different, while being exactly the same. Over the progression of these past few months, a lot more musical chemistry has developed between Rafe and myself. We’ve gotten more cohesive with our ideas, and we’ve gotten better with rhythm and tempo.

The album was fun to record, emotional at times, and it took a lot of literal blood, sweat, and tears to get through this, but it was one hell of a fun fucking journey.

I’d like to thank God, Rafe, my grandparents, Lilly, Amber, Rae, Brenda, Courtney, Bradley, Jera, Brandon H., Brandon C., Shay, Jadin, Faith, Hunter, Anjel, Carter, Jay, and Oliver. Life’s been haunting me again, but these people make it worth it.

Godspeed,

Wilbur Bullara
