Two years after "Kisiga", Dapalis Sepolcri comes back with insane news from the underground. Two years spent swimming, falling down and crawling; it is now more confident than ever before and baring a more omniscient vision that G. reports to us. Still 30 metres underground, this time it's from the sky that we follow the corridors from one room to another, through stale water, until we reach our final destination: La Licorne.
There only candle lights split the darkness, the smell of ossuaries has never been so present.
All Glory To La Licorne.

"We descend into the catacombs, leaving behind the world of light. Step by cautious step we traverse the ancient stone tunnels, guided only by the dim flickers of candles. A chill dampness permeates the air, the scent of cold stone and dust. Our footsteps echo eerily as we traverse tunnels adorned with skulls and bones, artifacts of the countless forgotten dead buried beneath Paris. Deeper we go, the temperature dropping, the silence absolute save for our breathing. The shadows around us come alive, morphing into the fantastical shapes, nightmares given form. We have entered the domain of Dapalis Sepolcri."

"Now close your eyes and look: you’re 30 metres underground, you’ve been walking for 15 straight hours in full blindness and deafness, crawling inside fissures or into water, without eating nor sleeping, you’ve absorbed nothing but alcohol, you’re dirty and in an altered state — all this only to reach a two-century old ossuary where people who came before you made constructions out of bones, some of which are hanging over your head. You turn off your flash-light and your music. You light up candles to illuminate the room. And you eventually sit down within the sacred silence. This is what Dapalis Sepolcri is describing."
