about

Dødheimsgard release new single ‘Abyss Perihelion Transit’ from ‘Black Medium Current’

With the band working together with artist Costin Chiorenau (tagged) they have created something truly visionary both in a sonic and visual context.
The 10 minutes plus track weaves a sombre tapestry incorporating elements of multiple sub genres in the world of Extreme Metal and thematically tackles ideas of epistemological dualism.

Vicotnik had the following to say: “The whole album revolves subjectively around perception, experience, psychology, objective/subjective reality vs external pressure, tropes, taboos, the laws of motion/causality which influences one’s life. The subjective perception of reality vs the objective causal effects of reality and how they are bound interact. Epistemological dualism.
I guess mental health, or rather instead of health, let’s call it mental condition is a big topic on this record. Not as in a complaining way, or as a good or bad notion, but rather a subject’s study of his own psychology (en)during everything.
Like the ambiguity of Being. What is Being? Is it a meta-physical stratum of subjective emotionally fuelled notions or is Being just explaining a physical object that is, therefore being. Epistemologically I guess these lyrics dwell a lot on naïve realism vs representational realism. Cognitivism vs behaviourism, and then bringing it all to an artist context obviously. So, it is experiential renditioning, not solution driven.”

lyrics

ABYSS PERIHELION TRANSIT

Beneath the sleep
Adhering to a nature underneath
Where we form
An unbreakable bond
With our own perception
Of Reality

Identity is a drug
From oblivion
Through the ethereal
And the black vale
Towards our faluts
A slave to psychology

Black veins
A tumbling harness
From the enclosure
Freedom looks like failure

Blame it on the surface
Blame it on the surface
Blame it on the surface
Blame it on the surface

Black veins
A tumbling
Harness
From the enclosure
Freedom looks like failure

There is no way out of here
There is no way out of here

The abyss
I heard it speak
In my mind

Live in fear
I am told
Then grow cold

Non defined
In my bones
Under my skin

The abyss
It hears me speak
In its mind

Non defined
In my bones
Under my skin

The Abyss
It heard me speak
In its mind

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
