Hark, Hark, Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise From the depths full-foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam To smother this young mouth with pungent slime, To choke ye, engorging your organs Til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine And can scream no more - Only when he, crowned in cockle shells With slitherin' tentacle tail And steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, His coral-tine trident Screeches banshee-like in the tempest And plunges right through yer gullet! Bursting ye … A bulging bladder no more, But a blasted bloody film now And nothing for the harpies And the souls of dead sailors To peck and claw And feed upon, only to be lapped up And swallowed by the infinite waters Of the Dread Emperor himself - Forgotten to any man, to any time, Forgotten to any god or devil, Forgotten even to the sea, For any stuff for part of Leslie, Even any scantling of your soul is Leslie no more, But is now itself the sea! ☿♅☿

BAAL 06:50
King ov legions of demons Head ov the infernal powers Master ov another thinking Lord ov hidden rituals Baal, Ô my Lord, Show me the way by this magic spell Bring your putrefied army To destroy the cult ov despotic god By a thunderstorm ov black fire In a swirl ov wild waters Make a legion ov Gods reign On this Earth, you are the Sun, The torch that blazes in the cave The North Star ov the Anarchists You teach the real democracy Rebel from masters and banish imposters … Let the passage be free Unto the crawling chaos Open unto me the way Across angled time and curved space … You can bring light and fertilize the ground You're the first ov ancestral You're prosperity We must worship your name We have to take care ov your coat We have to shine your horns We hear and love your blare We kneel before your strength … Let the passage be free Unto the crawling chaos Open unto me the way Across angled time and curved space … You are the sun, like an infinity ov another stars in the sky ☿♅☿

Marbas 05:56
Maybe it was you Who carved the first stone At this time you drew A new way for great apes that we are Ô Marbas Old teacher of mechanicals Father ov technicals Who gives power of shapeshifters By the science ov technological, By your power to cause death or life Wisdom ov mathematical Help us to find who we are … Now we know we are not We know we don’t know anything That curses the politics who would forget that Ô Marbas The fierce lion In the hands ov the human Your gift is dangerous Summoners, improve and beautify your mind Learn Arts and Philosophy To touch this stone ov ages who cut three million years ov life ☿♅☿

I call upon Serqet, Scorpio Goddess Who holds the breath and delivers the death. Black scorpionic mud ov the Nameless Arcana Prima Materia, Kemit ov life Undefeated traveler ov the Aeons. Hark Scorpio! I call you now. (As you once permitted me) By your cheliceral kiss, inebriate us with atrabile. Let your serpent dance to rush into your cave, Cryptic architecture ov alchemic rebirth. (al-kimiya) … By your fatal sickle, reduce us to a state ov mush, Let our bodies mingle with the fertile mud, That soil on which Taurus once thrived. … By the power of Mars, cause your red magic To transmute sensual soil into consciousness rubi. Let the red death flow into the new calyx. Teach us that old bottles are not for the new Wine. You are at once both the quiet and the confusion ov the heart, The soaring eagle and the creeping serpent. … Ô Serqet When I come, may your chelicerae be wide open, May your poisoned sword be raised high Like the victorious golden key to the secrets of renewal, May your right claw bury itself in the dissolute silt, May your left claw rebel, embrace the moon and swallow the skies Which lays down its foams of coagulating cold light Because I come to thank. … Ô Scorpio, spread your venom through our veins. ☿♅☿

about

After the revealing debut of "Imperii Templum Aries" and the "Theosulphuros" split album with PRECARIA, ÔROS KAÙ returns with "Thanatos", the first chapter of a visionary diptych which will soon be followed by the twin work "Hypnos".

The project of CZLT (NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM), ÔROS KAÙ uses death metal and black metal to explore new spiritual territories through references to Goetia, Greek-Egyptian Hermeticism, Astrology, Magic and Austin Osman Spare's writings, among the other things.
Wrapped in a splendid painting by Daniele Valeriani, "Thanatos" is a reflection on death, archetype of chaos, destruction and transformation as represented in ancient cultures, a stage of purification and enlightenment through pain and loss. Once again, references to demons such as Baal and Marbas are mere pretexts, allegories that symbolize artistic freedom in perennial opposition to the dominant culture.

IT'S POLITICAL SATANISM.

Musically, ÔROS KAÙ rings granite black/death guitar riffs above a powerful rhythmic base in continuous crescendo or often marching on deadly doom metal-tinged mid-tempos. The melodies are epic, but that certain mystical-esoteric flavor that has always characterized the Belgian artist's music never fails, underlined by a complex vocal performance in which death metal growls, black metal screams and Tibetan chants converge.

What ÔROS KAÙ offers is an absolutely unique, hypnotic and intoxicating melting pot of cultures, musical and thematic contents; a true study in the sacredness of sound and voice and the power they convey, under the guise of a brutal metal album. The magmatic pulsation of the music and the jumble of vocals induce a state of trance, heightened by the diabolical invocations of the lyrics. The psychedelic vertigo reaches its peak in the colossal "Dawn Of The Red Scorpio" and in the exhausting "Bios-Phos-Metis", 15 minutes of drone doom metal which push the listener into the arms of "Hypnos". The journey has just begun.
