"Columns of Impenetrable Light" is the cold new split between oppressive post-punk/darkwave outfit Bleached Cross (Protagonist Music) and post-punk stalwarts The True Faith (A La Carte Records). After working together on the co-release of the Bleached Cross B-Side and demo compilation "Exhumed," which featured a remix by The True Faith, both bands and labels have converged to deliver a sonic exploration of two sides of the same coin. Ruminations on life and death, hope and despair flowing across 8 new propulsive and brooding tracks…this is music for contemplating the void between the earthly realm and the infinite blackness that awaits us after our last breath. Featuring two unique vinyl colorways with jackets printed on reverse stock and adorned with foil stamped lettering, the record also features art design by Coward's Way for a complete audio and visual experience. This is Columns of Impenetrable Light: step inside and see what lies beyond.
