Consisting of eight hypnotic tracks of timeless and unclassifiable instrumental music, this quintessential double-album summarizes and transcends all preceding aspects of the band's discography and offers new insight into the fundamental principles and formulas of Aluk Todolo, permeating through other forms and resulting in an ultimate entheogenic ceremony. The production takes the side of fidelity in the transcription of the power-trio's live energy and osmosis, revealing the individuality and roughness of each instrument and emphasizing the inter-penetration of all the components of an organic and tetanizing trance ritual.This opus recounts the alchemical transformation of the primordial vibration into matter, through all its elemental phases, leading to the sonic manifestation of the forces of the universe into the octagonal prism of Occult Rock.

In lieu of Occult Rock's imminent release, Aluk Todolo recently performed three exclusive shows in the United States last week, culminating in a special performance at this year's Stella Natura festival alongside fellow Ajna Offensive artists SABBATH ASSEMBLY among others. The band simply states that these three performances were "pretty intense and raw," while a member of the Nuclear War Now! forum stated that Aluk Todolo's performance at Stella Natura "was surreal! They played under the stars on the edge of a rocky alpine canyon. Some fungus had just begun working its way through my bloodstream when they came on and started ripping my brain in half. I'm really glad I had the chance to see this band. The entire festival was amazing. Aluk Todolo were definitely one of the highlights."

In recent years, Aluk Todolo have developed into an intense and dynamic live band. The French power-trio have previously done a tour of the American East Coast in 2009, Southern Europe in 2010, and Northern Europe in 2011. They have opened for German kraut-rock pioneers FAUST in New York in 2009, and have been invited by SUNN O))) to play the Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands in 2011 and to open for them again in 2012.
