YT\/\/ST is a noh wave opera cult from the beast-Asian diaspore. Once again banished to the darkness that is the Research Laboratory, a consortium of diasporic and indigenous warriors combine to raise the slumbering beast. Metal shines in the stage light, before plunging back into the inky abyss between every strike of the drum, smoke rising as all hands prepare for the grand alignment. The Noh-Wave ritual proceeds as the titan grows in size, every wail of the accursed voices bringing it closer to life. Thousands of arms and faces rise from the bowels of Pureland, growing more menacing with every flash of lightning. The Destroyer of Death has returned in a sludged-out onslaught of fuzz and glory, unafraid of death itself.<\/p>\n
