Royal Sefton III, frequently known as rs3 and a member of Hellven since its second incarnation, released Hellven's first solo album since the netlabel's return earlier this month. Featuring artwork by Kenji Bliss, "st rotfest and the death monastic" is a 10-track, nearly 25-minute techstep album whose darker mood reflects a departure from much of Sefton's previous work.

Originally released as a part of Ubik's Auld Lang Syne 2 album "competition," Sefton fully remastered his entry before officially releasing the completed album at Hellven. The album's ever-present harmonies and no-pause/continuous format are described by Sefton as one's experience during the last half-hour before the impending end of days.
