INFERNO - Ekstasis Of The Continuum (Official video)

Taken from the album “PARADEIGMA (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity)“, out on May 7th 2021. Created by Chariot Of Black Moth. “Each subjective existence is absolute to itself. For this reason each man lives as if he were the center of the universe or the center of history. Then how could his suffering fail to be absolute? I cannot understand another’s suffering in order to diminish my own. There is no salvation through madness, because no man with a premonition of madness can overcome his fear of possible moments of lucidity. One would welcome chaos if one were not afraid of lights in it.“ (Emile Cioran – On the heights of despair) Order from : - the European shop at - the North American shop at - Bandcamp at Follow INFERNO : Facebook : Bandcamp : Debemur Morti Productions EU webshop​​ : NA webshop​​ : Facebook : Bandcamp : Instagram : “PARADEIGMA (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity)“ is the definitive work from idiosyncratic Czech avant-Black Metal band INFERNO. Burrowing further into the dense, hypnotic soundworlds initiated on 2017’s “Gnosis Kardias“, this newest emission formulates an alluring new language from the isolationist syntax of Black Metal, blending the contemplative and the disturbing into a mesmeric journey through veiled psychic recesses and towards the infinite. Using layers of guitar tracks, abstruse vocal and sound textures, intricate martial rhythms and ominous dynamism, INFERNO have produced a surreal dreamscape inspired in part by the most obscure, forward-thinking records of BLUT AUS NORD and THE CURE, 70s-80s Post-punk and the ingenuity/sheer fanaticism found within the Black Metal canon. Conceptually “PARADEIGMA“ goes deep into psychology, cosmology and horror - primarily influenced by “The Cosmos as Self-Creation“ from Czech writer Michal Ajvaz, “Time Reborn“ by the physicist Lee Smolin and above all “The Red Book“ of Carl Jung - to conjure, in the words of the band: “abstract visions of semi-liquid currents moving within a vast ontological structure where individual layers interact in unceasing cosmic dynamics”. Mournful and oppressive, delirious and strangely uplifting; “PARADEIGMA“ is a dank, paradoxical and uniquely immersive piece of Luciferian art which opens a portal to the beyond.
