Teetering at the brink of the abyss
Staring down into the vast precipice
Through blurred darkness you can see
Venomous and bloody streams full of pus
Abrupt falling
Mental disorder
Engulfed by darkness
Throat of the underworld
Entering the realm of Fear
Haunted, threatening, dark and drear
Seduced to go inside and delve
Into the Kingdom of the twelve...

Concealed in the andean mountains
Constructed at the confluence of hydrodynamic power
Weird structures of granit
Torrential abominations
Representing divine strength
Of an ancient cult
Keeping cryptic wisdom
Deeply merged within these stones
Guarded by a priestly caste
Anthropozoomorphic shades
Clandestine rituals
Flickering ornaments
Mocking with sardonic traits
Dragging me to veiled gates
Melting structures of consciousness
Losing sense of direction
An unsettling darkness spreads
In these narrow passageways
Maze of delusion
Pitch black tunnels
Mental confusion
Drowning in Daath
Crawling and dazed
Grasping into the void
Outflowing nasal mucus
Conch trumpets resound...

Mesmerizing hypnagogic voices
Overwhelming resistless seduction
Drowning in transcendent engrained morast
Entering amorphous and timeless dimensions
Cataleptic rigidity
Opens the gate to lucidity
Agravic astral projection
Chthonic inner dissection
Hissing, roaring, whispering, snorting
Infiltrating strange tongues
Gasping, jerking, winding, haunting
Tumbling into the rope...
Iä! Ixtab
Diosa del suicidio
La de la cuerda
Guía de almas

Knots of Abhorrence I
10:37
|
|

Under emerald leaves
Of thick undergrowth
Lies the obscure altar
Lit by a waxing moon
Discovery by chance
Entangled Mess
Schemes from far to see
Invaders fate is sealed
Covered in mold
Crust of oblivion
What tricks the foolish mind of the naive
Yields unknown meaning hidden in time
At a first glimpse
Banal correlations
But colour and shape
Does not match reality
Knots of abhorrence
Fatal Mistake in Interpretation
First seed of doubt spreads out
Until all learned patterns
Crumble to dust
Phonetics reshape and melt
Organs of pulsating consistency
Ligaments turn to snakes
Envenomed with madness

Knots of Abhorrence II
07:38

Mind-bending geometry
Defying mathematics known to man
Overload of consciousness
Fragile perception shattered
Frenzy boiling the intellect
Shivering remains
Of bone and blood
Under the mocking moon
Hallucinogenic warfare
Against the bringers of filth
Musket and spear
Broken by mental pestilence
Along each path
A knot as gateway
No loop, no junction
Just a mocking of causality
A work of obscure entities
Or a random fluke of fate
The question of relevance
In itself of no meaning
Never meant to be seen
Never meant to be understood
Quipu unraveled

All That Has Never Been True
by ULTHA
supported by 14 fans who also own “Knots of Abhorrence”
One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy.

Skin peeling riffs, disgusting atmosphere and spine splitting gutturals. 17:13 minutes of pure psychotic dread. Mandatory listen for sick OSDM horror freaks. Total support.

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.
