Van Eeckhout built the project around the hurdy-gurdy, various percussion, and vocal layering, creating music that carries the emotional weight of Amenra without its extreme metal framework. He signed with Relapse Records in 2024, releasing Kalvarie to critical attention within the experimental heavy music community.
