Cease to Exist invites special guest, Jeff Witscher alias Rene Hell, and mind behind the labels Agents of Chaos + the latest Salon Ltd. Over the last handful of years Witscher has made a name for himself under a plethora of different pseudonyms exploring various disparate styles. He's known for Impregnable, Secret Abuse, Marble Sky and as part of Roman Torment and Deep Jew, among others. As Rene Hell, we find him focused on synthesized kosmiche sounds – but unlike many of his contemporaries, instead of delving into nostalgia there is something decidedly modern about Witscher’s compositions.
