  • In a time when the wounds the Great Cataclysm wrought upon the face of the earth were still fresh, a cruel and powerful empire ruled the world with an iron fist. Life was bleak, and death believed to be a release. Athanor, a simple man with a complicated destiny, is forced through personal tragedy to put that belief to the test. In his frantic quest for solace and absolution, he strays into the distorted and gloomy paths of Irkala Kar, the Underworld. Trapped in the bowels of an ever-growing and all-consuming madness, Athanor will find out that the merciful oblivion of the dead comes at a high price. He will have to fight his way through a subterranean kingdom of horrors in a desperate attempt to escape judgment and eternal damnation. Can he really return from death itself? And, even if he does, will it be really him coming back to life, or some thing entirely different, forever twisted by the touch of madness?

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    When a man loses everything he holds dear in this world, broken and ashamed of his own weakness, he must seek salvation in the realm of the dead: Irkala Kar. Tormented by the demon-voices of his own conscience, he will soon find out that what haunts him is not just in his head – it is all around him, taking on twisted and horrifying form. Abandoned in a nether realm of crawling nightmares with no name, he will seek a way back to the sun; yet the price for such an escape may be higher than he ever imagined…

about

“Standing over the remains of his grim deed, he saw the dawn approach behind the wooded hills. A crimson tide tinged the skies, awful yet entrancing to behold, just like the blood now covering his quivering hands…”

lyrics

When the sky weeps flame
And planets are erased
Pestilence is borne upon the creeping mist:
Death a’ stalking in the woods…

From such visions stirred I wake,
To find myself still in the grip
Of searing guilt for what I did:
Salvation is lost for me!

Hiss the winds;
“Exile thyself,
Go forth, seek death,

Flee from all of this!”
There’s a forest shrine
Where healing lies

Believe
You will be crowned the new king
And please the goddess of midnight,
By moonlight,
With crimson offerings…

Sleepless, underneath the oak, the old priest
Craves oblivion

For long years he served as a king,
He’s grown weary of his bleak reign
For he ruled alone
And desolate, a Sphinx,
Keeping secrets deadly…

Descend, blind rage!
In darkness
With cannibal drive
Stab
The feeble life out of him!
Cut and thrust him though,
‘Ere he can scream for help!

“Come child,
Into our cursed embrace”,
Those voices in my head
That lulled my sins to sleep:
“The Goddess loves the culling hand
That thins the herd”

Come, crown me as your king!

Come, crown me as your king!
Prostrate before me!
