There is striking symmetry centered around the death of Kurt Cobain.

Bleach (June 15, 1989) and Nevermind (September 24, 1991) were released 831 days apart.

From Nirvana's Unplugged in New York Performance (November 18, 1993) to Kurt Cobain's death (April 5, 1994) is 138 days.

Nevermind was released on 9/24.  From the release of Nevermind to Kurt Cobain's death is 924 days.

The release date (September 24, 1991) of Nevermind has numerology identical to the gematria of the word "distortion".

September 24, 1991 = 9 + 24 + 19 + 91 = 143

September 24, 1991 = 9 + 24 + (1 + 9 + 9 + 1) = 53

Combining the ordinal (143) and full reduction (53) of "distortion" equals (7×28):

143 + 53 = 196 = (7×28)

Nevermind and In Utero (September 21, 1993) were released 728 days apart.

From the release of In Utero to Kurt Cobain's death is (7×28) days.

The single "Pennyroyal Tea was scheduled to be released April 1994, the same month Kurt Cobain's body was discovered in his home at 171 Lake Washington Blvd.

Cobain said in an interview, "The song is about a person who's beyond depressed; they're in their deathbed, pretty much."

The lyrics reference Leonard Cohen.  In Utero was released on Leonard Cohen's birthday.


"Pennyroyal Tea" = 171 (English Ordinal)

Nirvana recorded 3 studio LPs - Bleach (6/15/89), Nevermind (9/24/91)  and In Utero (9/21/93).

(6 + 15 + 89) + (9 + 24 + 91) + (9 + 21 + 93) = 357

The reverse ordinal cypher reverses the alphabetic order:

"Bleach + Nevermind + In Utero" = 357 (Reverse Ordinal)

(3×57) = 171

Bleach (June 15, 1989) was released 147 days before the fall (November 9, 1989) of the Berlin Wall.

It's release date (June 15) can be written 15/6. 

"Kurt Cobain" = 156 (Reverse Ordinal)

The date (November 9) The Berlin Wall came down can be written 9/11.

911 is the 156th prime number.

Kurt Cobain would die 147 days after the fourth anniversary (November 9, 1993) of the fall of The Berlin Wall.

"Nirvana - In Utero" = 197 (Reverse Ordinal)

197 is the 45th prime number.

The date (April 5) of Cobain's death can be written 4/5.

In Utero was released a 197 day span before Kurt Cobain's death.
