We’re honored to work again with USBM soul-incinerators Shaidar Logoth as we proudly announce the release of "Chapter III: The Void God"
their brand new double album scheduled for release in early November on
etched vinyl 2XLP and tape for the Americas, while the vinyl release
for Europe will be handled by new imprint Cavsas (a division of dark industrial label Cyclic Law).
"Chapter III: The Void God", is a massive three-sided etched
2XLP that that sees the Minnesota black metal specters completing both
musically and narratively their inaugural trilogy opened in 2011 with "Chapter I: The Peddler".
The Peddler has become The Ritualist, and now summoned The Void God to
consume the world and rebuild it in its own image. Three years in the
making, "The Void God" sees Shaidar Logoth dwell in familiar
torments as well as evolve into a new transfiguration of themselves,
dominated by a more defiant and unpredictable experimentation of moods
and torn by a more profound and enigmatic dualism than ever before.
Throughout the four monstrous songs that comprise the forty-eight minute
doble LP, the band's sound shapeshifts dramatically, designing
increasingly claustrophobic and erratic trajectories and leaving the
listener as helpless bystander to a disfigured and mangled ritual, while
the songs evolve in and out of each other in a constant duality of
ominous abjection and puzzling beauty.
A preview of the staggering album has been made available via Invisible Oranges, who in unveiling the song “Consume Pieces of God” have remarked that “Shaidar
Logoth take riff-writing to another plateau [...] as your mind is torn
between shedding tears at beautiful riffage and sitting in goosebumps
because of the sheer abstract density of the result. Combined with
well-balanced clean/rough production, and tons of moments that feel like
gut-punches (like the two-minute mark in the song streaming above),
Chapter III: The Void God leaves basically nothing else to be asked
for.” You can check out the full feature HERE.
Sonically ungraspable but stylistically grounded in the fiercest and proudest black metal tradition, on "Chapter III: The Void God" Shaidar Logoth have conjured the same inverted and lurid atmospheres we've seen in bands like Leviathan, Funeral Mist, Misþyrming and Sargeist,
while their unique and unmatched penchant in eviscerating beauty and
grace has probably given birth to their most luminous and magnificent
album to date.
Chapter III: The Void God"is scheduled for release on November 6 2020 on etched vinyl 2XLP, digital, and tape for the Americas, while the vinyl release for Europe will be handled by new imprint Cavsas (a division of dark industrial label Cyclic Law).
