ULTHAR unleashed "PROVIDENCE", 6/12/2020 via 20 BUCK SPIN.
FROM ULTHAR:
Today we reveal that TWO new ULTHAR albums will be released on February 17th of 2023. ‘Anthronomicon’ and ‘Helionomicon’ are both available to pre-order today and the new track ‘Astranumeral Octave Chants’ has been released to all streaming platforms.
As with previous Ulthar albums these ones are adorned with the artwork of Ian Miller's Fantastic Art, this time showcasing an original work that forms one whole piece from the two combined album covers.
‘Anthronomicon’ embodies the continued progression of Ulthar’s mastery over its art - always evolving, refining and pushing forward. From the opening blasts and twisting mania of ‘Cephalopohre’ Ulthar baffle with angular warped riffage, dipping in and out of various dimensional spheres.
Off-kilter multi-directional turns veer swiftly and violently as though about to come apart at the seams only to reshape again and again into ever more monumental forms. Each of Anthronomicon’s 8 tracks represent a fractious piece of a larger puzzle, each a maze unto itself that when taken together allow one to traverse this inverted surrealist conundrum.
Where its sister album ‘Anthronomicon’ presents an 8 piece puzzle of labyrinthine tumult, ‘Helionomicon’ takes those elements and creates two towering 20 minute monoliths of radiant avant-garde immensity. Each track, appropriately titled ‘Helionomicon’ and ‘Anthronomicon’, transports the listener on a vast journey of psycho-cerebral spectacle where hitherto unimagined landscapes take shape and strange intangible structures pierce the disintegrating firmament.
Despite the substantial length of these two tracks, it’s never a tedious ride; each visits countless new vistas and perspectives across time. In essence ‘Helionomicon’ becomes a synthesis of all Ulthar’s recorded output to this point across two climactic, ambitious epics.
