KATHAROS XIII - Reveals New Details On Upcoming Album

Romania based dark jazz doom black metal band Katharos XIII yesterday announced more details on its upcoming album. Katharos XIII's fourth full-length will be titled Chthonian Transmissions and released in collaboration with Loud Rage Music on jewel-case CD format and collectors edition picture digipak disc on 23 May.

Chthonian Transmissions features six new long tracks blending dark jazz and doom and black metal among many other genres in a unique fashion that became Katharos XIII's trademark since the previous album Palindrome, released in 2019 and widely appreciated by the public and specialized press. The album artwork is again the work of Alexandru Das who also directed the official video of the first single "Neurastenia", which, again, awaits you below, in case you've missed it.

Emilian Matlak, the band's founding member, on Chthonian Transmissions: "The new album encapsulates six different dreams delivered from the times when the itinerant cosmonauts had a telluric existence. We like the words of Kurt Vonnegut and the imagery of Andrei Tarkovski, so we tried to embed this in our aesthetics and in every word or expression to resonate with our own personal philosophy." Link
