about

This album art is created from the engraving ACEDIA from the series THE SEVEN VICES, carved in 1612 by Hieronymus Wierix.
Acedia is an old word that essentially refers to a listless sense of apathy. In the early Christian era of human history it took on a slightly more spiritual meaning- referring more to a sense of sloth towards religion & spirituality. In the early 20th century, the word was declared obsolete by the Oxford Dictionary. More recently, artists have revived the word in its original usage without religious implications. This is the sense in which I used it while choosing it as an album title; ACEDIA to me refers to the specific kind of hopeless depression that beats a person into submission & acceptance of their state of being.

*This is the original master of this release, not the same files as the remasters on Vol I

WELTSCHMERZ recommends:

The Hexerei Suite
by Zauberei

Fantastic occult-themed extreme metal from Harrisburg, PA. This demo was recorded live, and sounds better than some demos that bands have spent months working on in studios. A truly impressive release WELTSCHMERZ

Deep Blue (ep)
by Axl Rhodes

Excellent ambient sounds from Germany. All this artist's work is solid, and I would actually recommend buying the discography bundle rather than just this album. Absolutely all great releases WELTSCHMERZ
