ARRIVAL 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?
2.
ASSIMILATION 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

ISOLATION 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...
5.
DESTRUCTION The primate stows away All life consumed Shamed, banished apex From gods to morsel 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

VOIDOATH’s Ascension Beyond Kokytus is a concept album rooted deep within the lore created by John W. Campbell Jr. with his science fiction novella "Who goes there? (Frozen Hell)", as well as the 1982’s adaptation/remake "The Thing" by the master of horror John Carpenter.

Reviews:

"...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 have unleashed a phenomenal first foray into the pantheon of sludge and death-doom. Unyieldingly brutal but without sacrificing tension and atmosphere, this is a fitting homage to John Carpenter‘s horror classic. More than that, it is essential, mandatory listening for anybody with an ounce of interest in death-doom..."

".... VoidOath’s first full length release is a fantastic start for the band. This is the kind of sludge and doom metal that people can really get behind because the overall experience isn’t simply derived from instrumental and vocal ability. It stems from the band’s ability to immerse you within this soundscape..."

"...I love this album and I think that anyone who likes their music to be slow, heavy and atmospheric will find plenty to love here..."

"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."
Noob Heavy

"... 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."
