about

I was visiting Hawai’i earlier this summer. I just wanted to see what it was like. I wandered along the beaches and made my way to to the middle of the big island to see the natural beauty. As night fell, I found myself in Honolulu’s Chinatown district. I wandered in and out of vintage shops, Asian markets, book shops, bars, and cafes. One morning, I woke and thought to visit a shop that was closed as I had passed by the night before. I bought a book of Mark Lanegan’s lyrics and as I was at the counter cashing out, putting on my sunglasses, in full blacks and boots, preparing to enter the tropical heat, something caught my eye. I saw a small pile of two or three tapes on the edge of the counter. Of course, I reached for one, inspected it and was immediately struck. This is what I was looking for. It was of “Hymns To Oblivion” by Verlust. It looked like Black Metal, I thought “there is no way…” I asked the clerk to add it to my purchase and inquired about this tape. He said, “It’s a local black metal band… this guy J. I don’t know.” I stuffed it in my backpack, flew across the ocean and landed in Michigan, dog-tired, and ran to my tape deck. I pushed in the tape, and was instantly blown away. Majestic, powerful, strong, melodic black metal pierced through my speakers. Defiantly USBM, but clearly inspired by the pulsing riffs of pagan metal from a land that must have seemed like another world compared to the sun-drenched greens and blues of Hawai’i. I immediately contacted Verlust, and to my surprise, J. was not only familiar with CSR, but was a fan of some of the bands on the label. I asked humbly if I could re-issue this cassette on the mainland, and was met with a resounding positive answer. Never one to be afraid to ask anything, I inquired if there was another track we could add for this version. J. responded swiftly with a new track, “Liberation.” Nearly fifty-seven minutes of beauty and darkness enveloped me. I’m honored to present to you “Hymns To Oblivion” with an exclusive bonus track. Black Metal from the Kingdom of Hawai’i.

Kathodos
by Serpent Column

supported by 10 fans who also own “Hymns To Oblivion”

Ultime album de Serpent Column, Kathodos est une perle rare de black metal. Ce qui saute aux yeux, c'est le soin apporté à la dimension technique : Theophonos créé un ensemble d'une cohésion parfaite et utilise des jeux d'échos avec des riffs dévastateurs qui vont et reviennent de manière différente ("Kathodos"/"Anodos", première et septième pistes, etc.). Cet album est en somme un moyen de nous enfermer dans un palais des glaces sur lequel Theophonos tire à coups de boulets de canons. Insane ! Jordan Vauvert

Endless Detainment
by Serpent Column

supported by 10 fans who also own “Hymns To Oblivion”

Habituellement, j'écris mon commentaire dans la foulée une fois que j'ai terminé tel ou tel album mais là... J'ai vraiment besoin de quelques minutes, pour reprendre mes esprits. Parce que Serpent Column a totalement perdu le sien dans Endless Detainment. Cet E.P., c'est un cataclysme de black/death metal cacophonique et hystérique qui tient sur vingt-et-une minutes et qui ne s'arrête jamais — au point de s'achever avec un fade out. Tout tient ensemble grâce à un sens de la technique inhumain ! Jordan Vauvert

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list Dmitry Nevozhay

What a BEAST of an album. When it comes to blending black metal and mathcore, these guys and Hoplites are the clear leaders of the pack. This album is sheer annihilation of everything in it's path. Pure chaos and destruction. And it is beautiful. Ryan
