Algol by Ajna

In Astronomy, Algol is known as the bright multiple star in the constellation of Perseus, also known as 'The Demon Star' or 'The Ghoul'.

However, Algol has an entirely different meaning in Occult terms. According to Kenneth Grant's "Beyond the Mauve Zone", Algol is considered a form of altered consciousness between terrestrial and extraterrestrial dimensions, a dimension that is beyond the Mauve Zone, an access to unknown alien realms deep within the universe.

“Algol represents a specific state of consciousness on the threshold of the Mauve Zone with an Astro-occult body not identical with the star of the same name….a two-way conduit between terrestrial and extraterrestrial dimensions of consciousness…” ~ Kenneth Grant (Beyond The Mauve Zone)

This album focuses on the mystery behind the dual concept of Algol


"...there are a lot of things that Ajna does remarkably well: the eerily dissonant soundscapes, the lush dark ambient backgrounds, the delicate balance between tranquil promenades through different levels of consciousness and the overwhelming outbursts of energy....the artist was fully justified in making this a double album, as the dualistic vision and the masterful combination of drone and dark ambient.....Ajna has created a fascinating concoction on Algol, one that in my humble opinion surpasses all his previous work....." 9/10 (For The Innermost)
