I, Voihanger Records is honored to announce its collaboration with THANATOTHERION, the new project from guitarist/vocalist Ominous Droning, aka Shelby Lermo of ULTHAR, NAUGHTSKEID and VASTUM fame, here joined by drummer extraordinaire Jason Bursese (BLACK FUCKING CANCER).
THANATOTHERION builds on the experience of NAUGHTSKEID to transform into something different, a creature of fast and devastating black thrash metal that crosses the Lovecraftian visions of ULTHAR, the icy grandeur of early EMPEROR and the destructive fury of ABSU.
Wrapped in a nightmarish cover designed by the painter Daniel Vega, for THANATOTHERION “Alienation Manifesto” represents a true declaration of intent, the complete rejection and disgust for the human species, certainly destined for extinction.
“Alienation Manifesto is dedicated to the cessation of all human life and the proliferation of all life which is not,” explains Ominous Droning in the album's liner notes, alluding to a post-technological life in which new species can finally thrive in balance, free from the human plague.
THANATOTHERION's metal is sinister, otherworldly and evil, a funeral veil spread over humanity, its guilt and its shame, but within whose nihilistic folds lies a message of rebirth in the stillness of a benevolent darkness.

[@ivoidhangerrecords]

Born of essence fraught and upside-down horizons That transform horror into ether and tallow into frost In penance, a pleasure, a dalliance with dread In pale dungeons of alabaster war In plagues summoned, of innocence devoured Corrupter of organs, inherit the shroud Hang the pariah and drown in white virus Silent (blood red cathedral) Usurper (piss on the sacrament) Siphon (alien in animus) The orgone (hoarding to fornicate) Inverted vestiges of savagery in cradles of ash find serenity From whence came the bringers of idolatry In vain passed the epoch of iniquity Like wind upon the ice, the passer in darkness In shadows a hunter, in sunlight a ghost To placate the hatred, to open the vein In crucibles of chaos and entropy is forged a vile vengeance, misanthropy Cascade the columns and topple the spires Crushing the faithful with bile and sores Echoes (blood red cathedral) Of opulence (piss on the sacrament) Serpent (alien in animus) Dementia (hoarding to fornicate) Locust-throated heretic choke upon the nemesis Crucified in the eyes of reptiles In the eyes Mithridatic scavenger / pyroclastic paranoid Purtenance resplendent upon altars of the sky Vanish like vapor, like vapor…

Why isn't this band on Metal Archives?

[@MetalOnMetal]

Because they are jerks. Just for instance, here is what they say about Meshuggah : "The band was accepted into the Metal Archives based on their material up to and including Contradictions Collapse." Fucking purists at their highest.

[@saransrimee1155]

On there now. It usually takes some time for them to publish a new band on the site.
