The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate Comments: 

“During a trip to North Wales, Church Music for Satanists EP was written in a rented caravan in early Autumn 2023. Those long nights in the dank Welsh countryside and the fear of nefarious local folklore spirits Old Magw the Witch & The Gwyllion seeped into these songs giving them an atmospheric doom.”

The title track makes for an immersive fuzz-fueled opener to this haunting debut. With a compelling motif and eerie mood, “Church Music for Satanists” sets the scene for the release. “Behemoth of Hallucinations” throws some variety in the mix with a dark layering of multiple guitar tones and discordant melodies before diving into the heavy distortion. Exploring eerie soundscapes and droning instrumentation, “Return of the Puritan” offers a shadowy interlude before venturing back into guitar-driven plains in “My Temporary Heartbeat”. The EP contains five dynamic tracks and two industro mixes that offer an intriguing and compelling debut of The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate’s sound.
