Dictated – TAPHE

DICTATED comments on ‘Taphe”: “We have taken you up high and of the edge with ‘Hypso’ and plunged you into the vast depth of the sea with ‘Thalasso’. Now it’s time to let the weight of the earth choke us slowely…’Taphe’ (phobia) is also known as the fear of being buried alive. In the history of mankind, this fear became reality for about 2% of the burials. Notable persons in history requested their veins cut or their heart taken out because of this. In some cases people were buried with a string attached to an (above ground) bell; saved by the bell….

With ‘Hypso’, we have shown sheer brutality and ‘Thalasso’ took us back to our old death metal roots. ‘Taphe’ shows another dimension of the difersity that is ‘Phobos’. We hope you enjoy this track, as much as we do!
