Greek occult black metallers Αχεροντας (Acherontas) have unleashed the first single and lyric video, "Serpent's Oath: Hymns Of The Coiled Void", from their forthcoming eleventh full-length, ΝΕΚΥΙΑ -The Necromantic Patterns, due on 30 April via Zazen Sounds in union with III Damnation Productions.
Αχεροντας stands beyond and against the veils of mundane illusion. In a world shackled by politics - the ultimate deception and enslavement of the mind - the Coven upholds the path of individual ascension, where spiritual evolution is the only truth and the only freedom.
For almost three decades, Αχεροντας has not merely played music - it has performed Spiritual Art. The Great Work endures...
ΝΕΚΥΙΑ - The Necromantic Patterns marks a descent into the chthonic realms of transcendence, where the veils of mortality are torn asunder, revealing the hidden currents that weave existence. A ceremonial odyssey through the labyrinthine corridors of Death and Rebirth, this opus embodies the sacred rites of Dissolution and Ascension, invoking the wisdom of the ancients and the spectral echoes of forgotten aeons.
Each hymn within this work serves as an invocation, a key to unlocking the forgotten pathways of Necromantic Revelation. The Elder Keybearer rises again, heralding the dissolution of ephemeral reality, while the "Crimson Litany Of Eternal Return" chants the cycle of destruction and renewal, where blood becomes the offering upon the Altar of Cosmic Upheaval. "The Chalice Of Fiery Transmutation" is raised, brimming with the essence of divine memory and the Sacred Alchemy of the Eternal Return.
In the depths of the coiled void, the Serpent's Oath binds the seeker to the mysteries of dual wisdom and primordial power, as the Oracles of the Abyss whisper the forbidden knowledge of the Eleventh Inversion - a descent into the abyss unknown that leads to a revelation beyond the confines of mortal comprehension.
A work of ritualistic resonance and spiritual upheaval, this album is a testament to the Ineffable Truth - one that lies beyond creeds, beyond dogma, beyond the illusion of structured reality. Truth is a pathless land, and ΝΕΚΥΙΑ - The Necromantic Patterns is the sigil that illuminates the way. Link
