A CD-reissue of this 1999 collaborational work featuring Etant Donnes (Eric and Marc Hurtado) and Michael Gira (Swans), also including Mark Cunningham (Mars) and Saba Komossa (Delkom). The album is based upon the text 'Offenbarung Und Untergang" ('Revelation And Demise'), written by the Austrian expressionist poet Georg Trakl in 1914. The Hurtado brothers create a fittingly eerie, somber and desolate soundscape as backdrop to Gira's reading and singing (in German) of Trakl's equally somber poetic text.
