The last labor of The Spiritual Bat is a sequence of flash-backs and flash-forwards of the last few years, the story of how journeys came to be, the story of how songs were born, from the scream of an Artist caught into a mortal mechanism, a machine that would signify the death of Art, and therefore the end of Spirit. Cruel Machine, the album, is the synthesis of an emotional journey through micro and macro cosmos, in which each song itself is a ritual journey inwards and outwards. Cruel Machine, the song, is the scream of an Artist, a Realist, yet a Visionary craving to steal time from the Cruel Machine, craving to be Spirit through musical instruments, because in the Spiritual World wouldlie an evolution, the illusion of touching eternity while feeling as nothing but stardust.Limited edition (300 copies) version packaged in a deluxe 6" x 9" folder and including an 8.5" x 11" poster.Released January 24th, 2012 on Industry8.Track Listing:01 Cruel Machine02 Thunderstorm03 Sento04 Once Upon A Time05 Tormented Body06 The other Side07 Chance08 Empty Halls09 Crucifixion10 Lament for the poisoned Mother11 Deceiving12 Sacrament13 Acquoreo
