Despite what others may say, I think clean vocals is a nice addition to overall performance. They sound unusual, yes, but they are only used with perfect timing - no more, no less. Re-listening to the album for the 5th time already, it keeps getting better.
I had never stumbled upon Sulphur Aeon before, but I am so fucking happy I finally did. As a Lovecraft and metal fan they fill perfectly that spot, with atmospheric rifts suited for the theme, amazing vocals and lyrics, oozing with cosmic dread. The Outer Gods would be really pleased with this music if they heard it.

Only downside to this is that it won't get the recognition it deserves from various publications and so on, because it came out this late in the year. Fucking amazing work yet again!
@Luka K. I'm not talking about sales and such, I'm merely referring to journo's giving props where they're truly earned. So far, of "larger" publications, I've only seen No Clean Singing waiting long enough for Sulphur Aeon to get the chance to feature on any year-end list. It's really just about me feeling like these guys should be much more recognized. I'm 100% sure that most fans of anything other the most mainstream Death Metal bands, will pick this up. (I do agree that they should stay on a smaller label, for my own selfish reasons)
@Luka K. It's all cool. I just feel like SA gets overlooked a lot, and I feel it's a disservice to the fantastic music they create. But it's a bit of a "whatever" situation as I'm extremely happy that at least I get to listen to it, and so does all of my friends that actually listen to my recommendations. lol And just to be clear; the longer SA is off of Metalsucks' radar, the better. Fuck those assholes.
@Luka K. I can't for the life of me get into doom (metal) at all. I just get too impatient. But I get what you're saying. There are tonnes of overlooked bands out there.
@Luka K. As do I. I love hard electronic music which is where I actually really like Doom. (Doomcore that is) I also listen to classic, Hip-Hop (but mostly oldschool), Trance, Retrowave/Outrun as well as of course a bunch metal sub genres.
This is absolutely mind-blowing. I have been a fan of Sulphur Aeon since their first album, and this album yet again shows just how awesome this band is. It is really a masterpiece, I can't stop listening to it! I'll definitely buy this album next week.
I didn't think they'd be able to top Gateway to the Antisphere, but somehow they did just that with this album and their songwriting has just gotten better and better every album. Seriously one of the best modern Death Metal bands, never disappoint.
one of the best albums i heard in a long long time. every riff is in place, very dark atmosphere, interesting writing. anything you want of a Death/black album.
I tend to stay on the brutal death side of things, but I haven't been dragged into an album like this in a very long time. Very, very nice work. THANK YOU.
their best yet. they stayed true to their sound while experimenting in small doses... some more midtempo or even longer songs, a few clean vocals, really great album!
Preordered it yesterday and now I find this treat by them on Facebook. Can't wait for it to release, arrive and blast the brain out of my neighbors. \m/
Just stumbled across this and wouldn't you know it, I'm stuck in a bear trap and can't get out of it.... I guess I'll have to stay here for some time now
Imagine declaring AOTY before hearing this masterpiece, definitely a shame it came out so close to the end of the year because it is only going to get a fraction of the attention it deserves now. However, I've listened to 50+ albums this year and never have I made an easier choice for AOTY after hearing this one. Absolute masterpiece.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD PICKED MY ALBUM OF THE YEAR, THE COSMIC HORRORS COME BACK FROM BEYOND TO SHOVE THEIR TENTACLES INTO MY EARHOLES MYGODS WHAT AN ALBUM
Absolut großartig, das ist wieder ein Meisterwerk geworden! Brachial, großartig!! Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf den nächsten Liveauftritt von euch. Immer wieder gerne! What an Amazing Band! Masterpiece!
Trop mortellement bon. . On ressent des similitudes avec BEHEMOTH. . Cela reste excellent et superbement délectable à l'écoute. Mes neurones quoique terriblement secouer en redemende.
Too bad it comes too late for me to put it on my year-end lists. I love the fact there is a lot of hype for this in the Instagram metal vinyl community and for good reason, the band rips all kinds of cosmic assholes! Won't spoil myself by listening to the full thing so I'll wait for the release day.

Do order the other albums as well, then. The artwork is far better on the previous two records, some of the most beautiful album covers ever! And the music of course is sublime as well.
I can not get over how good this album is. Holy shit. Comes out of nowhere and steals album of the year. But also best album I heard in a few years to!! Anyone know a site for the states to buy this?
now all I need is a new album from TGOO and a tour of them together with sulphur aeon and maybe another two other lovecraftian themed bands (any suggestions? I'd say throw in some Nile and Morbid Angel, but are there any other exclusive lovecraft death or black metal bands?)
Right at the the top of the description: "The Scythe Of Cosmic Chaos" to be released during winters solstice, the 21st of December, 2018 on double vinyl record, compact disc and via the known digital channels.
Excellent music. I wonder, what genre is it? I believe it is black metal, but I have no idea what really makes black metal, or how to identify it beyond my personal feeling of "yeah, that sounds like black metal to me".
@@saemi941 Yeah, same Genre as Behemoth, Belphegor and Dissection. Black Metal atmosphere and lots of blast beats + tremolo picking, but combined with Death Metals groovier riffing and Song Structure. Vocals are also often growlier, not only hoarse, high screams.
This album is single handedly raising sea levels around the world
Lovecraft lives in this cosmic sound. And he is happy with it.
Mavrus Mi sono tuffato qui subito dopo aver visto la top, grande Mavro
Music 10/10
Presentation 10/10
Best album so far, definitely the right direction
Despite what others may say, I think clean vocals is a nice addition to overall performance. They sound unusual, yes, but they are only used with perfect timing - no more, no less.
Re-listening to the album for the 5th time already, it keeps getting better.
Maybe you check out Panegyrist.
Reminds me of Emperor when the cleaner vocals are used.

These guys absolutely didn't need to improve, but improve they did!
"Lungs into gills" is monstrously good.

1. Cult of Starry Wisdom @
I fix upon a whispering light...
A shimmering stone,
A gate of night.
With mesmerized eyes
I await his call,
Messenger of Father Azathoth
Pale faces align
In hypnotic trance.
Malevolent hands
Are being raised!
Voices soar through the eldritch halls
Of the cadaverous church.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!
Bless me with thine arcana!
A crystalline gate to the stars...
Far from the Moon
And from Mars.
Ancient soil-deserts of Yuggoth
Herein reigns the race of the Mi-Go.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!

I reckon I invoked
This impending dread!
Haunting jewel-
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship-
Yuggothian spell
Devouring fear
Numbs mind and soul.
Windows locked and nailed
And chimneys sealed.
Caught within the terrifying grip of night...
Left without protecting bulbs of light.
Numbed by thunder, lightning strikes.
It seizes hold of my weak human mind.
Haunting jewel-
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship-
Yuggothian spell
Blurred visions of
Unimaginable sights.
Existences and worlds
Left untold!
Light is dark and
Darkness is light!
I remember Yuggoth
I remember the ultimate void
Azathoth,
Have mercy!
Yog-Sothoth,
Save me!
I see their priests and candlelit altars
Preying on my humble human soul...

Amidst the deserts of Roba El Khaliyeh,
Beneath the fallen towers of Irem,
In titan caverns

The primordial witch.
Antediluvian
Wisdom and madness,
Maniacal rancour
Within ancient black eyes
Mock her guise,
Flee from her curse!
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,
The soul leaves the flesh.
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,

Along the leftmost walls
Lieth the grand starlit chamber of seven gates
A dome painted in blue, pigmented with lapis lazuli
Bejeweled constellations of stars
Among the night sky
Oneironaut!
Travel through the seven gates.
The act of lucid dreaming
Is revealed.
Oneironaut!
Traveler in time and space
Choose your vessel and
Open the gate!

Whilst the second portal
Leads to the City of Heights...

7. Lungs into Gills @
Drawn by a desolate glow...
Eerie lights from temples below...
Pale dim shades of cities lost,
Ancient idols reveal the host.
Transcending the void
Of the deepest black sea,
Consciousness fades
And life's drawn
From the flesh!
Transformation
Of lungs into gills
Metamorphosis
Of lungs into gills
Destinies intertwine in endless strife...
Pitiful dreams of evolution's crown.
Mingled in chaos to the ends of life,
Whilst gaping chasms see me drown!
Iä Iä!
Abyssal choirs resound...
Iä Iä!
Calls of worship unbound...
Body and soul in turmoil and revolt
Transformation of lungs into gills
Committed forever to the one so old!
Metamorphosis of lungs into gills
Wide awake as waters flood the breathless void...
Abyssal choirs
Resound!
Iä Iä! Calls of worship unbound...
Iä Iä! Blessed be thou who dreams!
Iä Iä! Blood and soul given to thee!
As the world trembles
In cataclysmic decay...
Seeking comfort in the
Cold caliginous deep.
Settling within murky
Green chambers of stone...
Life eternal
In the ancient
Halls of R'lyeh!
8. Thou Shalt Not Speak His Name (The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos) @
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Shifting parallel dimensions,
Minds drift afar...
Sinister whispers
Breath from beyond.
Called throughout worlds
By wisdom so old
Entangled in fear
Of what lurks
Behind the veils.
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Boundless force on black cosmic throne
Blind, bereft of mind.
Blasphemy abominate!
Idiot divinity,
Death and creation incarnate!
Monotonous whining
Of accursed flutes...
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
He, who gnaws hungrily
In lightless chambers...
Seething palace
Beyond time and space.
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
Calculating the structures
Of space and time.
What rises into being
Shell be unmade.
Spheres shatter...
Myriads of worlds undone...
As his flute falls
To silence eternally...
It is he, who holdeth the Sceptre of Obliteration.
It is he, who wieldeth the Scythe of Cosmic Chaos!
The dread and tension they build is perfect, alongside with brutality. A true masterpiece.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!
Only downside to this is that it won't get the recognition it deserves from various publications and so on, because it came out this late in the year. Fucking amazing work yet again!
@Luka K. I'm not talking about sales and such, I'm merely referring to journo's giving props where they're truly earned. So far, of "larger" publications, I've only seen No Clean Singing waiting long enough for Sulphur Aeon to get the chance to feature on any year-end list. It's really just about me feeling like these guys should be much more recognized. I'm 100% sure that most fans of anything other the most mainstream Death Metal bands, will pick this up.
(I do agree that they should stay on a smaller label, for my own selfish reasons)
@Luka K. It's all cool. I just feel like SA gets overlooked a lot, and I feel it's a disservice to the fantastic music they create. But it's a bit of a "whatever" situation as I'm extremely happy that at least I get to listen to it, and so does all of my friends that actually listen to my recommendations. lol
And just to be clear; the longer SA is off of Metalsucks' radar, the better. Fuck those assholes.
@Luka K. I can't for the life of me get into doom (metal) at all. I just get too impatient. But I get what you're saying. There are tonnes of overlooked bands out there.
@Luka K. As do I. I love hard electronic music which is where I actually really like Doom. (Doomcore that is) I also listen to classic, Hip-Hop (but mostly oldschool), Trance, Retrowave/Outrun as well as of course a bunch metal sub genres.
Well, they got plenty of (totally deserved) praise from Angry Metal Guy: angrymetalguy.com/sulphur-aeon-the-scythe-of-cosmic-chaos-review/
Drums: Herbert West
Vocals: Randolph Carter
Guitar: Erich Zann
Equipment manufacturer: Pickman
Bass: The horrible old man
Produced by: Charles Dexter Ward
This is absolutely mind-blowing. I have been a fan of Sulphur Aeon since their first album, and this album yet again shows just how awesome this band is. It is really a masterpiece, I can't stop listening to it! I'll definitely buy this album next week.
I didn't think they'd be able to top Gateway to the Antisphere, but somehow they did just that with this album and their songwriting has just gotten better and better every album. Seriously one of the best modern Death Metal bands, never disappoint.
And at the end of the year the icing on the cake. That sounds like a masterpiece of extreme music. Thanx Sulphur Aeon and thanx Vanrecords.
I can't stop listening to this. This is awesome, in both meanings!
one of the best albums i heard in a long long time. every riff is in place, very dark atmosphere, interesting writing. anything you want of a Death/black album.
Exactly !!!
This is really a little masterpiece! Fast...Majestic...Epic...Brutal!
I tend to stay on the brutal death side of things, but I haven't been dragged into an album like this in a very long time. Very, very nice work. THANK YOU.
True masterpiece
their best yet. they stayed true to their sound while experimenting in small doses... some more midtempo or even longer songs, a few clean vocals, really great album!
Fully agreed. Love addition of the doom elements.
Dude we have the same profile picture. Fucking love that Cult Of Fire album, man.
@@SamritpalSingh me too, personally I was more drawn to the picture by Kali tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks for adding tracklist in the description ; )
Awesome album!
this is the Death Metal Album of 2018 hands down !!!! BRILLIANT !!!!!!!
One of the best albums I´ve ever heard!
Preordered it yesterday and now I find this treat by them on Facebook.
Can't wait for it to release, arrive and blast the brain out of my neighbors. \m/
ordered the green 2LP, it will rise from the deep!
This is an impressive album, great work guys!
Just stumbled across this and wouldn't you know it, I'm stuck in a bear trap and can't get out of it.... I guess I'll have to stay here for some time now
Imagine declaring AOTY before hearing this masterpiece, definitely a shame it came out so close to the end of the year because it is only going to get a fraction of the attention it deserves now.
However, I've listened to 50+ albums this year and never have I made an easier choice for AOTY after hearing this one. Absolute masterpiece.
how easily you place it on top of Inferi...hmm
Rivers of Nihil and Irreversible Mechanism: *exists*
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD PICKED MY ALBUM OF THE YEAR, THE COSMIC HORRORS COME BACK FROM BEYOND TO SHOVE THEIR TENTACLES INTO MY EARHOLES MYGODS WHAT AN ALBUM
Cosmic album! Technical, epic, death metal
How sick is that little double bass pattern that stops and starts in the intro??
15:40-17:30 this made my day
Death Metal album of the year
Hail Grasa
@@systempsychovoid hail grasa prro
#hailLH
I’ll be damned if this mix isn’t perfect. AOTY material

Absolut großartig, das ist wieder ein Meisterwerk geworden! Brachial, großartig!! Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf den nächsten Liveauftritt von euch. Immer wieder gerne! What an Amazing Band! Masterpiece!
great band
another great "Cthulhu" Death Metal album
Angry Metal Guy just brought me here. It took a minute, but wow! This is shredding atmospherically! New Fan Created.
Veneration of the lunar orb is simply a masterpiece!
Trop mortellement bon. .
On ressent des similitudes avec BEHEMOTH. .
Cela reste excellent et superbement
délectable à l'écoute.
Mes neurones quoique terriblement secouer en redemende.
While I do think Gateway to the Antisphere is a better album overall, this is fucking killer and I'm really happy these guys are still kicking ass.
Another masterpiece from Sulphur Aeon!
🤘🤘
Bolzer and Inquisition vibes!
I was thinking that It has Bölzer vibes
I had some pics for album of the year, they lost. This is excellence!!
Obliteration - Cenotaph Obscure . Thematically also about lovecraftian lore... so sick m/
Holy shit! This is an absolute masterpiece!
There’s no doubt that's the Album of the Year
That riff @ 9:22 thou! F"cking Heavy.
This is fantastic, wow. 🦇
Sulphur Aeon just calmly release AOTY near the end of it and then disappear back into the murky depths!
heres johnny Sounds about right
Masterpiece!
ONWARDS... TOWARDS KADATH!
Album of the year for me. Their live shows are fucking amazing as well.
Martin Hellion's vocals are fucking powerful.
Metal at its very best. \m/
Excellent album,way to go,congrats
Gracias Amusia por la recomendacion
This is wow
These guys don't fuck around, do they? Top notch!
Albumazo! Es igual o mejor que el anterior
Excelent álbum thanks
first sulphur aeon album i have listened to and i am BLOWN THE FUCK AWAY
Too bad it comes too late for me to put it on my year-end lists. I love the fact there is a lot of hype for this in the Instagram metal vinyl community and for good reason, the band rips all kinds of cosmic assholes! Won't spoil myself by listening to the full thing so I'll wait for the release day.
THE BEAST!
Incredible!
this weird fungi started growing in the corner after I listen to Yuggothian spell....fungi from Yuggoth. If you know you know
Album de l'année.
1. Cult Of Starry Wisdom
I fix upon a whispering light...
A shimmering stone,
A gate of night.
With mesmerized eyes
I await his call,
Messenger of Father Azathoth
Pale faces align
In hypnotic trance.
Malevolent hands
Are being raised!
Voices soar through the eldritch halls
Of the cadaverous church.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!
Bless me with thine arcana!
A crystalline gate to the stars...
Far from the Moon
And from Mars.
Ancient soil-deserts of Yuggoth
Herein reigns the race of the Mi-Go.
Shine,
Trapezohedron!
Embrace me in thine glowing trance!
Bless me with thine arcana!
Iä, Iä,
Nyarlathotep!
I yearn to be thine servant-
Speak through me!
Iä, Iä,
Nyarlathotep!
I call forth ye,
Oh thousand-faced god.
2. Yuggothian Spell
Windows closed,
The doors are sealed.
Scent of alcohol... and
Candles have been lit.
Midnight intoxication...
Writhing in terror,
Hallucinating...
In suicidal moan.
The words I spoke,
The verses I've read,
I reckon I invoked
This impending dread!
Haunting jewel-
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship-
Yuggothian spell
Devouring fear
Numbs mind and soul.
Windows locked and nailed
And chimneys sealed.
Caught within the terrifying grip of night...
Left without protecting bulbs of light.
Numbed by thunder, lightning strikes.
It seizes hold of my weak human mind.
Haunting jewel-
Gleaming curse!
Primeval worship-
Yuggothian spell
Blurred visions of
Unimaginable sights.
Existences and worlds
Left untold!
Light is dark and
Darkness is light!
I remember Yuggoth
I remember the ultimate void
Azathoth,
Have mercy!
Yog-Sothoth,
Save me!
I see their priests and candlelit altars
Preying on my humble human soul...
Iä... ngai... ygg! I can see it...
Winds of hell,
Titanium cloud
Black wings,
The three-lobed eye.
Nyarlathotep...
3. The Summoning Of Nyarlathotep
Eater of souls, devourer of sanity
I'm calling thee!
Crawling chaos,
Thy name shall be revealed
Faceless father, ultimate void,
I am calling thee!
Delightfully wicked aristocrat
From the stars
Nyarlathotep!
Thrice invoked.
Nyarlathotep!
Circle closed.
Nyarlathotep!
Rise in our seal.
Ai!
Evil be performed in thy name.
Stalker of the stars,
Bringer of death to all!
Tear down
This feeble universe!
Black pharaoh
Reveal to us thy dreaded mysteries!
Nyarlathotep!
Sweet poison divine.
Nyarlathotep!
Evil incarnate.
Madness lurks
Behind thine faceless void.
Eldritch whistling from the cosmic gates...
Trickster, messenger,
Necromancer
Thee who walketh among mortal men,
Revered by those who know thine path.
Thee who walketh among the gods,
Feared by those who know thine intent.
Madness, corruption-rise
Chaos that creeps-divine
Liar-keeper of mysteries.
4. Veneration Of The Lunar Orb
A world in cosmic solitude,
Farthest from what is called sun.
Beyond astrology and myth!
From star-crusted black voids,
Devouring throat of chaos.
Within constellations
Yet unknown,
Beyond the starlit
Rings of Saturnus!
Veneration of the lunar orb
Perpetual cycles of
Adoration
Veneration of the lunar orb
An ancient law not to perturb.
Across Cyclopean bridges...
Mesmerizing rivers of pitch.
Through endless caverns
Seamed with glowing lichen.
Veneration of the lunar orb
Perpetual cycles of
Adoration
Veneration of the lunar orb
An ancient law not to perturb.
Armed remnants
Of battles passed,
In thrall of a pale red moon
That orbits this
Gloomy world...
Solely lit by its eerie glow.
Swift slayers dwell in Yuggothian caves...
In sacrificial awe to their moon.
Total subjugation
Of the soul and the flesh
Draw the blade-
Kill for the Moon
5. Sinister Sea Sabbath
Submerge to their temples,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
Bow to their altars,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
Dusk has risen, fires are lit on the shores...
A dreadful gathering, a nautic spectacle.
Adoration of the Old Ones beneath the surface.
Find absolution in eldritch temples below.
Abyssopelagial glow-amphibian race
Drawn down by their alluring grace.
Roars of Dagon echo
Through lifeless ears!
Mesmerized,
Obedient to the deep, submerge to their temples.
Blood for their altars!
Dawn has set, silence on blood-soaked shores
Eerie summonings still resound from dying throats
Adoration of the Old Ones, lurking in the deep
Absolution is granted in eerie temples below!
Descent into the deep blue sphere.
Subjugation-the ultimate gods are here!
Deep Ones escort the reborn
Evolution reversed
Mesmerized,
Obedient to the deep. Submerged to their temples.
Blood for their
Altars!
Deny all false idols,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
Dare speak their names,
All ye children of the sea
Sinister sea sabbath!
6. The Oneironaut - Haunting Visions Within The Starlit Chambers Of Seven Gates
Amidst the deserts of Roba El Khaliyeh,
Beneath the fallen towers of Irem,
In titan caverns
Underneath the desert sand
There dwelleth I'thakuah
The primordial witch.
Antediluvian
Wisdom and madness,
Maniacal rancour
Within ancient black eyes
Mock her guise,
Flee from her curse!
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,
The soul leaves the flesh.
Oneironaut!
Kneel before the seven gates.
Choose your vessel,
And enter the gate.
Oneironaut...
Into the heart of the maze
Along the leftmost walls
Lieth the grand starlit chamber of seven gates
A dome painted in blue, pigmented with lapis lazuli
Bejeweled constellations of stars
Among the night sky
Oneironaut!
Travel through the seven gates.
The act of lucid dreaming
Is revealed.
Oneironaut!
Traveler in time and space
Choose your vessel and
Open the gate!
The first portal
Is leading to the Plateau of Leng,
Whilst the second portal
Leads to the City of Heights...
The third portal
Opens to sunken R'lyeh...
Travel to Yuggoth
By entering the fourth...
The fifth gate
Opens to sunken Atlantis...
Enter unknown Kadath
Through the sixth gate,
And the seventh
Leads to the Temple of Albion.
Oneironaut!
Travel through the seven gates!
Oneironaut!
Enter the gate!
7. Lungs Into Gills
Drawn by a desolate glow...
Eerie lights from temples below...
Pale dim shades of cities lost,
Ancient idols reveal the host.
Transcending the void
Of the deepest black sea,
Consciousness fades
And life's drawn
From the flesh!
Transformation
Of lungs into gills
Metamorphosis
Of lungs into gills
Destinies intertwine in endless strife...
Pitiful dreams of evolution's crown.
Mingled in chaos to the ends of life,
Whilst gaping chasms see me drown!
Iä Iä!
Abyssal choirs resound...
Iä Iä!
Calls of worship unbound...
Body and soul in turmoil and revolt
Transformation of lungs into gills
Committed forever to the one so old!
Metamorphosis of lungs into gills
Wide awake as waters flood the breathless void...
Abyssal choirs
Resound!
Iä Iä! Calls of worship unbound...
Iä Iä! Blessed be thou who dreams!
Iä Iä! Blood and soul given to thee!
As the world trembles
In cataclysmic decay...
Seeking comfort in the
Cold caliginous deep.
Settling within murky
Green chambers of stone...
Life eternal
In the ancient
Halls of R'lyeh!
8. Thou Shalt Not Speak His Name
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Shifting parallel dimensions,
Minds drift afar...
Sinister whispers
Breath from beyond.
Called throughout worlds
By wisdom so old
Entangled in fear
Of what lurks
Behind the veils.
Chaos, entropy
Enlighting visions from the stars.
Doom, corruption
Trauma of this feeble globe.
Boundless force on black cosmic throne
Blind, bereft of mind.
Blasphemy abominate!
Idiot divinity,
Death and creation incarnate!
Monotonous whining
Of accursed flutes...
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
He, who gnaws hungrily
In lightless chambers...
Seething palace
Beyond time and space.
Thou shalt not speak his name,
Daemon sultan!
Calculating the structures
Of space and time.
What rises into being
Shell be unmade.
Spheres shatter...
Myriads of worlds undone...
As his flute falls
To silence eternally...
It is he, who holdeth the Sceptre of Obliteration.
It is he, who wieldeth the Scythe of Cosmic Chaos!
52 minutes de bonheur
YEEESSS!!!! \m/ \m/
its so fucking good that it drove me insane
Sehr ordentlich!!!
Thanks
masterpiece
Album of the fuckin year and the next 2 years
Anyone else getting serious "Nile" vibes from this? Sulphur Aeon is doing for Lovecraft what Nile did for Egyptian mythology.
For sure there is a nile-ish vibe which per se ist a good reminiscence to me.
Of course Nile is here : )
Btw nile also uses some Lovecraftian influences for some songs
Dang, this is awesome. Never really noticed this band. Time to order some vinyl :D
Do order the other albums as well, then. The artwork is far better on the previous two records, some of the most beautiful album covers ever! And the music of course is sublime as well.
@@Metalton95 I actually ordered the new album and the previous one directly from the label :)
Can someone please recommend me bands that sound like 49:50
That uses chants like this
Try Morbid Angel God of Emptiness
🖤🖤🖤
...I'm slaying my goat to this...
oh yes give me more of that lovecraft
The Cult is alive!
oh my
Da fogo🔥 livello 9🤘
Not so bad, i like the Lovecraftian vibe.
#2021
Where's the ❤ button?!?!
On left side : )
I can not get over how good this album is. Holy shit. Comes out of nowhere and steals album of the year. But also best album I heard in a few years to!!
Anyone know a site for the states to buy this?
Try the US branches of season of mist or nuclear blast, otherwise van also ship internationally, could be a bit expensive tho
I got it from Amazon from a 3rd party seller. It was a bit expensive though. $23 with shipping included in the total
Aeii! Aaeeiiii!!!!
Can Sulphur Aeon do no wrong? They haven't yet.
now all I need is a new album from TGOO and a tour of them together with sulphur aeon and maybe another two other lovecraftian themed bands (any suggestions? I'd say throw in some Nile and Morbid Angel, but are there any other exclusive lovecraft death or black metal bands?)
The band Catacombs is a funeral doom metal band that released one album back in like 2006. Very lovecraftian stuff.
hail
Modern black metal meets Amon Amarth meets Nevermore, meets HP Lovecraft.
🤘🤘
fckin masterpiece
Nice Behemoth-esque vibe...
Wow.
Fuckin GOAT. Damn
Not on Bandcamp... where can I buy?
Right at the the top of the description: "The Scythe Of Cosmic Chaos" to be released during winters solstice, the 21st of December, 2018 on double vinyl record, compact disc and via the known digital channels.
@@BruiserTMF thanks for the reply. They have actually released it on Bandcamp now (a few days early) Great news!!
Does anyone have the lyrics for this? I want to read them along with the music, but no one's posted them on Metallum, Darklyrics, or Genius yet.
I just posted them in the comment section above
Does anyone have the lyrics for this masterpiece?
If Bloodborne was a metal album.
album bought, now give me this video in HD please.
Excellent music. I wonder, what genre is it? I believe it is black metal, but I have no idea what really makes black metal, or how to identify it beyond my personal feeling of "yeah, that sounds like black metal to me".
It's Blackened Death Metal. A mix of Black and Death.
@@saemi941 Yeah, same Genre as Behemoth, Belphegor and Dissection. Black Metal atmosphere and lots of blast beats + tremolo picking, but combined with Death Metals groovier riffing and Song Structure. Vocals are also often growlier, not only hoarse, high screams.
Amazing album. 666
