    (Lighten Up Sounds)

    Debut full length of monolithic funeral doom from the darkest shadows of Seattle. The mysterious duo BLOOD OF SOKAR delivers a distinct vision of terrifying sludge metal, an arcane offering of blackened cosmic dirge in it's most unsettling form. Harrowing vocal howls and caustic organ drones over atmospheric pummel and painful bruise, not for the faint of heart.

    This deluxe physical edition includes the as of yet unheard track, "Mortum Ventum", filling out the previously self released digital EP to a full length session of grim seclusion. Horrifying claustrophobia manifests, a 38 minute nightmarish descent into the barren screaming void.

    Professionally duplicated translucent red shell cassette with silver imprint comes packaged in 5" x 3.5" black vinyl clamshell case with full color artwork on 80 pt. gloss cardstock. Includes 3"x 2" insert printed to translucent red vellum, plus bonus 1" logo badge and vinyl sticker. Hand numbered limited edition of 100 copies.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Blood of Sokar via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Cælestibus 10:10
Awoken from decades of sleep Only my mind is conscious Still corpse floating lifeless Malfunctioning system Staring through frosted glass Stuck in this steel chamber Frozen in time and space Cold darkness unknown fate Years pass... voice in my mind Telepathic... evolution inside I hear another... has awakened Next to me... frightened, screaming Try to speak... they cannot hear me As they slip.... into insanity Their breath... is diminishing Death brings... their silence to me Expanse of space, floating past me Timeless trip, coma of infinity Pray for death then I'll be freed Let my thoughts roam in the deepest void Crash land on a distant moon Dreams of awakening from this tomb Breath of alien atmosphere Alone I stand in a barren land All others charred in flames I wander these endless planes In search of my minds decay Is this reality, am I awake? Straying off course Into a sun so bright Accepting my end Enveloped in light I still lay awake Imprisoned in my mind Dreams of escape End to this flight Others have left Let me join them Return me to sleep

Hallucinatus 08:30
Darkness as old As old as time Your thoughts are mine Forces you to drink There's no hope left No time to think or escape Prisoners of the past and the mind Into the future he sees He preys on them Across time and space You... You can't fight No... No will to hold on You... You can't hide Hide... What's inside your mind Blood flows in, your nightmares real Secrets revealed Your mind in his grasp Crushing reality Hallucinations set in There's no coming back Your mind folds, you fall into The torturous abyss Drowning in a crimson sea It flows through your veins Drowning in a crimson sea It flows through your veins Lose yourself Enslaved in time Forever Reliving your Nightmares For eternity Lose yourself Enslaved in time Forever

Hecatomb 10:53
Blood grows cold Stillness fallen snow Forsaken world Haunting Memories of Our Ravaged land Deeds of blood Destruction Steel our pact They shall Never see Their two suns rise Not - not but death am I -am I made Ravens flight warnings of time Torch glow lights fog below Blinding red, alien moon Beckoning, harvest of souls Not - not but death am I -am I made Galaxy crossed with vengeance as fuel Upon blades their fates do fall Blackened blood frozen in snow Sinister offering of souls Never see the dawn Rise again Cursed world becomes their grave Cursed world...

Returning to planet of birth From past almost forgotten... After light years passed Reunion of life progressed Seeing spherical home again Sadness amongst stars burning Through darkened atmosphere reveals No light has been kept on Turbulent skies unstable decent Blinded by charcoal swarm Hurricane force dropping altitude Clearing of calm reveals planet's death From vessel depart Drop to knees in ash ruins Hope to find a face Resembling my own From past shadows In dust appear In storm clouds Submerged Ghosts revealed, cascading winds Distant howls of long lost friends Eyes of black surrounding me Engulfed in soot remains decayed Gravitational pull charred hands grasp Pull me into sand filled grave

about

"From the opening song, “Cælestibus,” cresting into “Hallucinatus,” there is an unfathomable well of torment and apoplexy. The music’s dirge only heaps dirt upon the exasperation that sets in. Blood of Sokar’s thick bass and sludge-infested guitar lines virtually guarantee this temperament will not cease. This Seattle-based act, which transcends funeral doom and blackened doom, delivers exactly the kind of recording that fear is made of"
- The Sludgelord thesludgelord.blogspot.com/2017/10/album-review-blood-of-sokar-blood-of.html

"...completely incomprehensible shrieks are echoing through the dark pit." - Metal Soliloquy alturl.com/f2ap7


"...an overall effect of a psychotic haze where you’re both lulled into a calm trance and pushed towards a fearful, tense state, all within the course of the same song." - Transcending Obscurity alturl.com/5v2ca


"...something that sounds like stoner doom died in a house long ago and the apparitions of its former self still toil away at windows seen from very far distances." - Tape Wyrm alturl.com/zf49k
