Self-Immolation

Track on Self-Immolation

8) Self-Immolation

94 bpm

As the signature song of this album, Self-Immolation is an immortal transformation from ashes to ashes. It elaborates a process of self-reflection and expansion that ends up sounding like Ethiopian Jazz. Germanic and organic, it is a symbiotic, lyrical and poignant fanfare and counterpoint.
