Far in the future, the galaxy is divided and ruled by royal houses, kept in check by the supreme Emperor, who controls the known universe.
Feeling threatened by the good-nature noble house of Atreides, the Emperor concocts a sinister plot.
He lures House Atreides' royal family to the desert world of Rakis, where he has them surprise-attacked by their age-old rivals, House Harkonnen.
The Baron Lord Harkonnen murders the entire family, sparing only the young Atreides heir, the teenage Paul Atreides, leaving him to die in the harsh desert.
By employing the Harkonnens as the aggressors, the Emperor of the Universe has concealed his involvement in the evil plot.

Wow, I just had to buy this. All three tracks are amazing, the sound is so full and encompassing, it just envelopes you. I have it playing in the studio when I'm making - it's the perfect album for that - energizing and inspiring.

Dans The Density Parameter, Mesarthim reprend tous les ingrédients qui font leur marque de fabrique : des pistes assez longues au rythme énergique (très palpable sur "Recombination" par exemple) et jouant sur des structures cycliques, un chant qui erre parmi les étoiles... Les ambiances sont prolifiques mais elles changent la donne : gracieuses, certes, mais surtout plus mélancoliques qu'autrefois. The Density Parameter est un peu la dernière bouffée d'oxygène que donne la combinaison spatiale. Jordan Vauvert
Produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, the metal band's fourth LP channels tragic, transcendental themes into fierce progressive sludge metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2024
Grabbed this on Bandcamp whilst watching it being played live at The Dome. Tears welled up as the final crescendo peaked and had it been the end of my cycle, I would have happily spontaneously combusted, I then realised it was only dawn and the first of the triptych, so I will soldier on, at least until dusk and endure another two stellar opus’s before I can embark on that final journey. Thank you Bell Witch! TOWDATHABTE
