Cognitive Discordance Records, in conspiracy with Cursed Monk Records, is proud to announce the debut full-length of Costa Rica’s abysmal sludge conjurers VoidOath. Titled »Ascension Beyond Kokytus«, the horror-themed conceptual album will be out on 30 September 2022. For the American release, Cognitive Discordance Records (Costa Rica) is issuing a limited run of Jewel Case CDs; for the UK/European release, Cursed Monk Records (Ireland) is releasing a limited edition of digipak CDs.
The dark, heavy and melt-inducing sound of VoidOath is the outcome of their approach to illustrate diverse horror works in a disturbing, frantic and distorted way. Their first EP, »Illumination Through Necromancy«, released in May 2020, was well received and featured by Decibel Magazine, No Clean Singing, Metal Storm, and Astral Noize, in addition to finding a place amongst the CVLT Nation’s Top 10 Sludge Albums Of 2020. CVLT Nation would later curate VoidOath’s two live performances – the first one w/ Astriferous and Bloodsoaked Necrovoid and the second one w/ Occultum and Lair during Cvlt Nation’s X anniversary.
The San José doom monstrosity VoidOath is now poised to reveal »Ascension Beyond Kokytus«, their first full-length release, deep within the cold, frost and blood in the farthest and isolated regions on the planet. »Ascension Beyond Kokytus« is based on John W. Campbell Jr’s Who Goes There? (Frozen Hell) and its adaptation of John Carpenter’s film The Thing (1982). Dwelling on deep feelings of fear, despair, loneliness and horror, the album drowns its listener in seamlessly endless waves of crushing violence and noise.
