After putting eight 2-disc sets up for sale on 3/14, seven of them sold out within 12 hours, the last one sold after 6. So for 4/20, I'm putting up eight times that amount up for sale. I'm selling 64 sets of The Ilusen's Fallacy up for sale for 4/20, a date that bears all kinds of significance.
Each disk was handmade by myself, and each set comes with both discs in a jewel case.
If you have any special requests for your purchase, feel free to leave them in a message.

[SOLD OUT*]
For this year's 8/8, the birthdate of The Ilusen's Fallacy, we're proud to announce The Ilusen's Fallacy's "Green Tapes"! Each copy is The Ilusen's Fallacy placed onto a 90 minute lustrous, shimmering green cassette tape. Every tape contains mastered audio, was self-recorded, and was homeprinted by Keegan Ostrowski himself.
Another very important announcement we have is new member, Marco Minnemann, on the drums! Featured in Necrophagist, Metalocalypse, The Aristocrats, self-performance, and much more, Marco has accepted to join together with Keegan to bring forth a solidly engineered publication of chaos. Coming 8/8/18, the redux of The Ilusen's Fallacy will arrive to replace the current demonstration you hear before you.
Finally, in celebration of this year's 8/8, we're bringing everything down from $16 to $8. Anyone who has paid more than $8, shows support, or has shown support before 8/8/18 will get a free copy of the redux coming next year, along with something very special.

Cannonata is the first actual song on the album, focusing on a Prisoner of War right before, during, and after his capture.
This song is the most stochastic of the album, as it never stays in one place, from 3/8, to 9/8, to 13/16 time signatures, plenty of tempo changes, and multiple original themes.
All of the lyrical dialogue is based off of vocabulary learned from war documentaries, and admittedly enough, a few Medal of Honor games.
lyrics
I - Retreat!
Running through the battlefield, trying to maintain a low profile,
Lit the fuck up, avoiding the spray of automatic rifles.
Bad Guys are scanning, you're last team standing and ammo is running low,
Your teammates are scattered, left you shot and tattered in the tail all alone.
Got to make it out of sight, push harder, away from the attack,
You're wounded, and bleeding, in desperate need of immediate casualty EVAC.
100 meters to upzone, with an adrenaline charge of fear,
There's no chance to make it, no reinforcements, you couldn't persevere.
Nowhere to go, Taken by patrol. Captured and imprisoned, You failed your last mission.
II - Neutralized.
Try
To fight back
If you could even stay awake,
You're slipping out,
Being pulled about
By your captors as you can't even kick or shout
To try
To fight back,
If you could make out their
Face
As your senses fade,
The death brigade,
Takes more of your friends in their
Cannonade.
III - Captive.
What did we do,
To so badly lose,
That they captured our entire crew?
We'll never be found,
They'll never look for us,
Here's where my life ends,
And starts as a prisoner.
IV - POW
Captured for a prolonged time, been
Sentenced a lengthy durance, you're
Stuck here for a dreadful stay, best
Hope for the resistance.
Stranded as I lose a hold
On time, no more it bears its price, I
Pray The Opposition comes
In the pertinent amount of time,
It's nothing more than a slim hope,
From a closed minded perspective, yet I
Can't tell I'm dreaming but I hear the interception
V - Cannonata
It’s confirmed, rescue reserve, is on their way to your prison,
Something that you’ve hoped for silently in prayer but never expected to happen,
You thought you were a gravestone, under terrorist submission,
No longer a token, out of their contrition, escaping the seize of the opposing villain.
Made it through, with half your crew, out and over to L-Zone,
Got swooped by the heli, embarking away, when you’re placed in command of the rampgun,
In charge of getting revenge, as you shower down hundreds of rounds,
You’re unleashing death on the outlaws defending, your captors, criminals, ended by your
Can-nonata

Serious aficionado level Prog/Tech Death.
The unique colors they bring to this record are not really heard elsewhere. They have forged their own sound and it’s totally badass. I guess The Faceless could be mentioned for reference of similar styles/tones.
They care for the song craft as much as the tasty Tech and Leads. It really is like everyone is saying....a perfect Metal experience. Salami Dick Death

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
