Description: | Whatâ??s it like when you can no longer sleep? The consequences resulting from permanent insomnia
are extremely debilitating and far-reaching. But how unbearable and harrowing must it then be if
youâ??re finally able to sleep, but every sleep could potentially result in death? What kind of unimagi-
nable torture must this already lost battle against falling asleep be?
And what if hypnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis also present themselves? Half-awake
and fully conscious of falling asleep, intensive, oppressive images of your own death sleep manifest
themselves, yet youâ??re unable to move. Entombed in your own body.
An unaffected person is unable to fully imagine all this and all its consequences. Anna-Varney
Cantodeaâ??s new release grants us a glimpse of such a â??Todesschlafâ??, and is one of Anna-Varney
Cantodeaâ??s most captivating and sombre releases yet. Every note is magnificent, and wonderfully
complemented by the visuals. - Limited to 1000 hand-numbered by Anna-Varney Cantodea copies.
