From Finland comes this black art alliance, consisting of Horna and Behexen members. They made a pact with the infamous Terratur Possessions label and this is their debut album. Musically Bythos combines cold melodies and versatile riffs, creating rich and numinous landscapes which encounters powerful and vicious liturgies. The music supports the lyrical theme of the songs well, and the moods range from oppressive despair to ecstatic praise of the Dark Gods. The theme of the album is an interdimentional view of the underworld and its deities, emphasising strongly on the spiritual evolution to liberate the imprisoned powers, and make one with the outer Darkness. The resetting of the Divine plans through Destruction and rise above limitations of Life. Beauty in Destruction, Destruction in Beauty. A sonic interpretation of what once was and our constant path of devolution towards the Luciferian dawn.
Gatefold jacket with poster and booklet included.
