"A single piece statement from Joe Preston and Daniel Menche, and an epic tome carved from some form of primordial stone. As an album containing a regular CD audio side in addition to a DVD audio/video side, this release breathes life musically and visually on three different planes of existence. First, as a 25 minute audio recording, which is born of a vocal chant evocation from both Joe and Daniel, of which layers expand, contract, and weave within each other in an otherworldly, mysterious dronescape, in a way that feels like a moment of mystical/mythical creation akin to Gyorgy Ligeti's introduction to the monolith, in the film 2001 (or Ash Williams' mispronunciation of the Necronomicon and it's results, if you prefer); second (on side 2 of this CD/DVD dualdisc), as DVD audio, specifically mastered for this intent, which enables the absolute full range of the recordings high and lows to be acutely present, thus expanding an already head shrinking experience; and third, as the DVD audio with a full length video, culled from footage of the mysterious landscape of the Pacific Northwest, exhibiting its terrain, volcanic activity and atmospheric disturbances, from obscure locations throughout the region, in addition of footage of Sam Hill's Stonehenge memorial located in Southeastern Washington State. The visuals, combined with the unusually forceful subtleties of the audio makes this an experience to behold a multitude of occasions, with different effect, depending on one's mindframe." CD/5.1 DVD audio/video dualdisc (region 0, NTSC).

"Joe Preston and Daniel Menche's Cerberic Doxology represents a new LOW in collaborations. A new LOW in depth, a new LOW in bottom frequencies, and a new LOW in drone, noise, heavy, metal, Basso Profundo, and Gregorian Chant. Cerberic Doxology is an album of rich subtleties and dramatic textures: a dense, dark, tonal topography surveying the dizzying heights and cavernous depths of the human voice. Constructed of only sonorous and rumbling vowel sounds, its absence of consonants still resonates with layers upon layers of audible friction. This new version of Cerberic Doxology represents a work that is slightly shorter and quicker in pace to fit the vinyl format. What's presented, then, is a piece foregrounding the seamless mastery of Daniel Menche's ambient and textural recording work. Limited to 500 vinyl copies, the Cerberic Doxology EP is an 18-minute analog piece. The B-side of this limited edition pressing contains 20 different samples from the work featured in 20 separate locked grooves. Daniel Menche and Joe Preston appear as vocal co-collaborators with The Man Choir on SunnO)))'s Southern Lord release, Monoliths & Dimensions."
