You now stand at the gates of the Athenaeum, where sin is dissected and sound is sanctified.
Some passages may echo with themes not suited for all ears—explicit lyrics, dark imagery, or ritualistic intensity.
By crossing this threshold, you affirm your readiness to engage with content intended for mature initiates.
