Sudden Deluge is a continuation to Mystical Extraction's story. Galimgim assumes the role of The Curator of an unnamed dream realm while developing an overzealous attachment to the power and allure of the paintbrush given to him. With the brush, he tries to create companionship and adventure through the summoning of pixelated creatures (animals, faeries, humans) but these manifestations have a short shelf life in these particular dream realms due to their mortal imprint. He feverishly continues to create them for the time being in order to help him stop the elusive and conniving Dust Merchant and in hope to aid his search for the original Curator across other realms.

In a battle of wit and magic, he successfully banishes the Dust Merchant from this realm into a waking reality, but in doing so the paintbrush's power slowly begins to corrupt his form: tendrils growing from his left hand, wing tips sharpening into blades, and more mutations yet to be seen. With newfound power and his ever-cycling creation of summonings, they gain the ability to venture outside the boundaries of this purview and further into dream space. Eventually, they find the original Curator in a purgatory-like dream realm known as Delirium.

"The interpretation of black metal as put forward by the NES is worth examining." - devilution.dk/anmeldelser/pladeanmeldelser/211119-gonemage-sudden-deluge

"..video games and Black Metal have a lot in common, especially when it comes to the sometimes harsh, dark, complex universe that they both share..Gonemage has achieved something touching and memorable.." -
www.auxportesdumetal.com/reviews/Gonemage/gonemage-suddendeluge.html

"..With harsh, high rasps, stark guitar chords that pass through frozen distortion and blast-beaten drums underpinning the action, black metal plays a role. However, the big focus is on beeps, bloops and more seemingly coming from an 8-bit NES video game console, although other computerized sounds and effects make their way in, covering to create a chiptune album with a significant mixture of black metal.." -
