From the secrets ov stones To the virtues ov herbs Ô Lord Bathin Transport myself to your chthonian world Naked muscles knight Constrictor of fake summoners Ruler of thirty Legions ov demons Please, listen to my spell Show me your real form Nephthys, cold Seth’s consort Powerful Egyptian goddess Ov chaos and darkness Focuses your energy On teaching mankind The ancient secrets ov the gods Secrets of using herbs and stones Teach me the secrets ov astral projection Which allows people To transport their own astral forms To different locations in the world … From the secrets ov stones To the virtues ov herbs Ô goddess Nebthet Transport myself to your chthonian place Great daughter of Geb and Nout Snake tail ov Apophis Invoked by uranium and lead Howling bird, sound your funeral moaning Show me your real form Nebthet, cold Seth’s consort Powerful Egyptian goddess Who makes Heliopolis shine 𓁹♆𓁹

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.

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.
