Orion Cygnus-Descent
15:55

|
Aeons in fall, deserted vessel
Frenzy thoughts, slaver spewed
Mutated body, through stars descent
Plunging into Orion-Cygnus, astray
Inert, wretched impostor leaks, Swarm, collective misery
Bondage, macrocosmic pest, Liberated, engulfing and hiding
Draining, pursuing leech, Swarm, collective misery
Veiling, intruding flesh, Liberated, engulfing and hiding
Seizing command
Dismay through gore
Cluster invader
Collision
Terra Australis
Ignota
Torn wreckage
Gray dunes spanning beyond
Pierced sky, Frozen woe
Raging into emptiness
Slipping into slumber
Millennia in cryostasis
What is left but to cease?

Beneath the skin, it crawls and feeds
Mutation through marrow corruption
Flesh-paved liberation of the self
Perpetual gnosis in cellular duplication
The body liquifies
Rearranging organs
A hunger not known
Slithering from within
Ravenous replication
Shapeshifting apocalypse
Horror from outer worlds
Sprouting in meat
The noose swings
Closing in
Fever dreams
Liquor puris

Alabaster Ruminations
13:21
|
|
||
|
White grim waves drown all
Far inland, dwelling on solitude
Confined and drained
Discarded and null
Seeking warmth, even from within
Eternal hailstoney
Isolation even amongst others
A tomb imbued in silence and ruminations
The quiet bewilderment of the endless devastation
Unending cycle of fear and loath
I feel an abyss within me
Falling aimlessly towards a great nothing
A curling mantle over auroras
Shapeless thoughts dissolve
Alabaster cognition
The ephemeral dream fading
Pernicious awakening...

From Gods to Morsels
12:52
|
|

|
The primate stows away
All life consumed
Shamed, banished apex
From gods to morsels
Stalking daemon, parasitic affair
Celular life, replicated, dominated
Much more complex, much less humane
Obliteration
27000 hours ‘till debris
Drown
The lamentations of a wounded species
Cursed gravestone drenched in mangled remains
Desolation and dread, severing sanity
Collective being
Gargantuan maws
Gorging in viscera
Every ounce defiled
Lesser legacy burnt
Another cursed, drifting rock
Quintillion thrones, countless worlds
The beast calls upon the empty skies
As if calling darkness itself
Blight supremacy
Planetary consumption

about
PURCHASE DIGITAL ALBUM DIRECTLY FROM THE BAND: voidoath.bandcamp.com/album/ascension-beyond-kokytus
Available on Digipak CD in UK/Europe via Cursed Monk Records: cursedmonk.bandcamp.com/album/ascension-beyond-kokytus
Cognitive Discordance Records, in conspiracy with Cursed Monk Records, is proud to announce their fifth release, the debut full length of Costa Rica's Abysmal Sludge act, VoidOath, titled “Ascension Beyond Kokytus”.
After the release of their debut EP, "Illumination Through Necromancy", the band embarked on a journey to create their first full length release, deep within the cold, frost and blood.
Inspired by John W. Campbell Jr's "Who Goes There? (Frozen Hell)", and John Carpenter's 1982 adaptation of "The Thing", VoidOath explores the lore of human behavior and nature's manifestation of mankind for total earthly control.
Recorded and Produced by Jose Rodriguez at A Cabin in the Woods Recordings. San José, Costa Rica.
Artwork by Nataly Nikitina.

No Clean Singing
"...VoidOath have succeeded in creating music that’s a well-made match for their album’s terrifying concept and mind-mangling lyrics. It is deeply unsettling, but so well-made that it’s relentlessly immersive..."

"Imagine being picked up by some very, very large hand and squeezed until your ribs break and entrails come spewing out of your various orifices like so much chunky juice from a piece of fruit. So it is that VoidOath execute their debut album."

"VoidOath is releasing hands down one of the gnarliest doom albums that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing this year and you need to hear it, too. Don’t let it pass you by, you’ll be sorry. It’s a frozen wasteland of an album – and I mean that in the absolutely best way."

"...Even if my thoughts don’t amount to much more than “this record sounds great, is heavy” I am nonetheless entertained, transfixed, floored by what these folks have managed on this fine debut. A high recommendation."
