Nether is the first demo and release by the sole member of The Aeonic Order of Vacuity, Elemiah. Nether consists of 4 songs centered on a specific concept / story dealing with abandonment, constant negativity, longing, hopelessness, and other emotional elements that has been fuel for the occult aspects of the band and story. Although these emotions and situations are the fuel, the actual concept is more defined as an ever-growing big picture of sorts that dwell into esoteric natures and practices. Nether puts emphasis on the end results of certain human dysfunctions and the fears that Elemiah might have about the possible outcome of his own dysfunctions, while at the same time releasing pent up pressure through the energy flow of music. That being said, the music is meant to be both a personal outlet and a means of storytelling, while at the same time be something the listener can relate to on a more spiritual level, and hopefully inspire personal insight and spiritual growth through laying out the self-destructive results of this particular path. Musically, there are a wide range of influences from extreme forms funeral doom metal (mostly), a little black metal, heavy and droning ambiance and tribal rhythms, subtler and hypnotic dark music, and etc. Though, the word "narrative" is preferred over genre names.
