The USA-based symphonic death metal project Thy Shining Curse has unleashed the second single, "Melmoth", from its debut full-length, Theurgia, slated for release on 16 February via ViciSolum Productions. The track, accompanied by a captivating music video, awaits you in the player below.
Rich in its intensity and harmonies, the band's forthcoming album is a collection of seven musical rites revolving around a common thematic axis, transgressing the physical world. Theurgia stands for "divine work" in Greek, developed as a term by the Neoplatonists. It describes a series of magical acts that aim to connect the human soul to a hierarchy of superior beings, leading up to the supreme being or, so-called, The One.
Thy Shining Curse is a solo musical project of a death metal initiate, Leonidas, focused on the practice of hierurgical artistry through symphonic methexis and hermetic imagery. Founded in 2021, the band is dedicated to the vision of its founder, aiming to create an immersive mystical experience by invoking the archetypical instincts of man via powerful symbolism, following the principles of the Pythagorean tradition, the Eleusinian mysteries, Neoplatonism and Western Esotericism. The depiction of its members is purposefully avoided. Instead, two mysterious figures act as the band's visual representatives, Celeus and Celeucis. Their purpose is to complement the auditory experience with a subliminal initiation to the visual language of symbols, acting as modern-day hierophants. Link
