Doom Death outfit Cavernous Gate has released the sinister lyric video for the "The Artefact" track taken from its forthcoming debut full-length, Voices From A Fathomless Realm, slated for release on 14 October.
Cavernous Gate's mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Sebastian "S.K." Körkemeier comments: "A rough sketch of a pale eye that reflects shadowy figures inspired me to write these lyrics. The song's atmosphere and arrangement, kind of, created a basic musical storyline, which I continued to build on. 'The Artefact' is probably the stylistically most consistent track on the album and it shows clear influences from both early thrash and death metal".
Voices From A Fathomless Realm is the first full-length from Cavernous Gate. The German death-doom outfit is a solo project of Sebastian "S.K." Körkemeier. Sebastian co-founded Helrunar under the alias Alsvartr and also supports Markus "Schwadorf" Stock's black metal project Sun Of The Sleepless and Empyrium - live.
Cavernous Gate and Voices From A Fathomless Realm are obviously musical works of love. Sebastian is successfully channelling his penchant for British doom and death acts such as earliest Paradise Lost, Cathedral, and Swedish death metal in the vein of early Entombed and Dismember into a dark, depressive, and massive monolith of ultra-heaviness. On Voices From A Fathomless Realm, Sebastian's granite-grinding and abysmally low growls clearly dominate but are, on rare occasions, beautifully contrasted with Jenny Kalbitz's female voice.
Lyrically Voices From A Fathomless Realm explores a grimdark fantasy world of twilight and its ghostly inhabitants, which Sebastian evokes in ways similar to the descriptions of paintings - by creating vivid dreamlike images.
What Sebastian started on the 2019 split album Sun of the Sleepless / Cavernous Gate, he has now honed to perfection with the project's first full-length Voices From A Fathomless Realm. Crafted with all the experience of a veteran metal musician but also emotionally captivating, the added deep and clearly audible love for the dark heavy style makes the difference. Let Cavernous Gate drag you into a nightmare abyss of classical doom death interpreted in a contemporary way that paints musical pictures of an unexpected beauty lurking in these unexplored depths of pain and utter sadness.
