A Unique Soundscape
Concept and Creation
Liminal Erosion represents Colby’s artistic synthesis of decades spent immersed in the underground metal scene. The album delivers a striking blend of death doom, enriched with shimmering textures and haunting atmospheres. It transcends traditional genre boundaries, creating an experience that is both crushingly heavy and beautifully ethereal—what can be described as a death-doomgaze hybrid.
Artistic Vision
Colby explains the origins of the project: “This project started accidentally, although I’ve always had a love for Funeral and Death Doom. The vision evolved into something larger in scope, something more profound… the sound of Death Doom but more kaleidoscopic, with lyrics to match.” His approach to lyrics is particularly intriguing; rather than relying on personal narratives, Colby opts for abstract themes that evoke powerful imagery, unfolding like dreams through the dense layers of sound.
The Production Process
Every aspect of In the Time Vulture’s Talons has been meticulously crafted by Colby himself. From composition to production, he captured each note and texture, ensuring a cohesive sonic landscape. The visual elements of the project are equally compelling, featuring artwork and logos by GrusomeGraphx and photography by Ryan Bonner / Bringmecreatures.
