about
Many have attempted to explorephilosophic themes through music, yet just like the human nature they claimedto critique, most often time only lifeless notes and ludicrous narcissismremain.
Ascension, as Vitriolic Sage's highly anticipated debut full length,quite on the contrary, is one extraordinary paradigm in which metaphysicalmatters naturally entwined with its swirling melodicism, with no excessivepretentiousness, an everlasting spiral where everything is perfectly balanced-music, concept, storytelling, emotions, all genuinely fused together into this 7-track long play of pure riff mass.
Unlike what he has achieved in VitriolicSage' previous EP Enlightenment, which was more or less an earnest tribute tothe glacial majesty of the 90s Scandinavian scene, the songwriting and overallproduction on Ascension are much more nuanced and varied, with many hintstowards the virulent mélancolie from the foul soils of France, as well as the obscurerites of those Icelandic black hymns, yet retaining something that is stillunique per se. This is an album where listeners are truly seized by the ravagingand hellish maelstrom unleashed through its cathartic war cry and glorious melodies: an astonishing consistency from start to finish, while the restphilosophical lyricisms about absurdity and death were devoured and become asone, together with thprotagonist who embarked upon this journey of self-destructive salvation, dissolved into the Light Ultimate: and all the restshall be perished.
Pest Productions will release Ascensionin the format of digipack CDs, limited to 300 copies. Don't miss out this truegem, highly recommended!

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

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 !

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrmingsupported by 6 fans who also own “Ascension”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
