The title track of this album is a stark, spoken-word piece that stands as one of David Tibet’s most unsettling meditations on mortality and the end of days.

• The album title is a line from the poem 'The Last of All the Field That Fell' by the English poet W.B. Yeats.
• The album was recorded at Dittmarsia, David Tibet’s home studio in the Los Angeles area.
• This release marked a return to a more minimalist, spoken-word-focused approach for Current 93 after several albums featuring more prominent musical arrangements.

Current 93 is the primary musical project of David Tibet, a pivotal figure in the industrial and neofolk scenes. Tibet's work is characterized by esoteric themes, often drawing from apocalypticism, mysticism, and Gnosticism, delivered in a distinctive, declamatory vocal style. This 2014 album found Current 93 in a period of relative stylistic consistency, following a series of records that explored more melodic and accessible, albeit still dark, neofolk textures.
