about

During the period in which Clay Ruby first began working on this piece of art, he had become so completely surrounded by evil and deception that he was forced to begin summoning a particularly extreme and ancient force of protection and vitality just to make it alive through the end of 2008. Aside from spiritually fortifying Ruby's life, the complexities of these new elemental entities brought with them circumstances causing a much more rich and intense recording experience than he could have ever composed on his own. Since then, it seems that the world at large, and the art scene in particular, may have become even more self-destructive, nihilistic and pathetic as ever. In this context, we fear that much of the true aesthetic and spiritual content of this album could certainly be lost on many of it's listeners; or even worse, it could take root and potentially cause damage to the lives of those who come into contact with it. Over the course of the three years it took to compose and record this album, at least six different record labels have offered to release this album, and over the course of these years, all of those labels have either gone bankrupt or rendered themselves completely irrelevant. Though we dearly adore this highly detailed and inspired music, Brave Mysteries hesitates to have anything to do with the release of this record, because it is most certainly cursed. The lives that have been shaken and ruined because of it, whether directly or even subtlety, is already far too many. Clay Ruby has vehemently refused to offer any commentary on the biographical, conceptual or musical details about this album; stating only that "By the time you sell your last copy of this record, I will surely be dead." Our reactions to the harrowing darkness of this music and the ominous and fateful attitude of it's composer have left us at a total loss about how to proceed. All we can do is offer this landmark album to the public and pray for the lives of all who come in contact with it.
