| Theosulphuros, painting by Ikonostasis |
After years of working on it, I can announce that Theosulphuros has been finished and will be released by the end of the year 2020 via I, Voidhanger Records.
This is a follow-up to Metamorphosphoros. Precaria songs in both releases should be considered as part 1 and part 2 of a whole.
Theosulphuros is a dark conceptual work that focuses on spiritual ascension and descension both during life and after death. Exploring the idea of god as the chaotic void or source of darkness beyond dimensions, yet omnipresent, and devoting one's life to spread this darkness in the world and ultimately self-sacrifice upon reaching the goal.
