Ruina I & II

by Blood of Sokar

tr_🇺🇦 Sanity destroying monotonous blackened drone doom. The 2nd time I listened to this in bed only to be awoken by a nightmarish drone (Deus Submersi). Like falling asleep during Mullholland Drive and waking up when the shenanigans with the miniature grandparents happens at the end (spoilers). Overdoing minimalism just a smidge but if you can sit through it, it takes you on a journey through long forgotten memories.

parasitic*nebula Ahh, my ears are pleased! A huge slice of blackened space drone that crawls along at a funeral doom's pace. Brooding and imposing, B.o.S have created something quite unique here with their newest cosmic abomination of ethereal psychotic horror. The tormented vocalist alone sounds like he’s constantly clutching and clawing at his throat through his oxygen-deprived spacesuit. He suffers in mental and physical agony for over 106 minutes before succumbing to the cold unforgiving vacuum of space. Favorite track: Telum Immortalem.
Lichtmensch

Lichtmensch A very impressive, massive, monolithic blackened drone/funeral doom metal album with a captivating atmosphere of cosmic mystery. Although this double album doesn't have a very high replay factor due to its length, it is definitely worth diving into at least once. One of the better doom metal releases of the year for sure.

Ancient forest, last of its kind Uprooted from land, transported to space Biosphere drifting in starlit void Cultivate wilderness, nourishing black soil Wildlife inhabit trees, wandering through groves Flowers bloom, last bees, final swarm Becoming obsolete, future sightless Losing the last forest, old-growth Mission aborted, ordered to destroy all Annihilate nature, extinguish its memory Mutiny aboard, kill those who betray Defend woodlands, escape into darkness Bludgeon their heads with Earth’s stones Drown them in pools, gasping for last breath Buried in dirt, shallow graves.

about

Double CD & double cassette available now.

------------------------

"The immense Blackened Funeral Doom band BLOOD OF SOKAR is too underrated! We are going to do everything in our power to change that because they need to be recognized as one of the best doing it right now. Their new new double cassette offering entitled Ruina I & II is a portal into dank caves where the only sound you will hear are the hymns of death. This band doesn’t create music for clout, they create music to have the listener transported to a place where torment and slow-moving death reigns supreme. Their riffs move at the pace of ritual incense smoke and suffocate like the hands of a serial killer. The howls you will experience while blasting Ruina I & II might just haunt you into your next life. "

-CVLT Nation, Blood of Sokar Ruina I & II


"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."
