Album Notes

High on the rocky cliffs overlooking the Miskatonic River, the hollow edifice of Blackthorn Asylum stands as a sinister monument to the horrors that once lurked within its desolate halls. Originally built as a sanitarium for the criminally insane, the asylum gained a grim reputation for conducting horrible experiments upon the most violent and deranged psychopaths in an attempt to extract the essence of evil.

Tall gates of stone and wrought iron surround the grounds like a prison wall, allowing no possibility for escape, and the bleak confines of the asylum held no mercy or hope for those condemned to a sentence within. Over the decades, the torments inflicted upon the inmates resulted in unlocking the demons from their minds, but as a horrific consequence, the tortuous experimentation also unleashed the vile malediction that now infests the abandoned corridors.
