Ulthar - Releasing Two Albums Simultaneously In February


On February 17th of 2023, black death metal bringers Ulthar will put out not one but two studio albums - Anthronomicon and Helionomicon. Both outings were recorded at Developing Nations in Baltimore, MD by Kevin Bernsten and mastered by Adam Tucker at Signaturetone in Minneapolis, MN. Ian Miller handled the creation of cover artworks. For a preview of the Anthronomicon record, give a listen to the track "Astranumeral Octave Chants".

Anthronomicon embodies the continued progression of Ulthar's mastery over its art - always evolving, refining and pushing forward. From the opening blasts and twisting mania of Cephalopohre Ulthar baffle with angular warped riffage, dipping in and out of various dimensional spheres.

Off-kilter multi-directional turns veer swiftly and violently as though about to come apart at the seams only to reshape again and again into ever more monumental forms. Each of Anthronomicon's 8 tracks represent a fractious piece of a larger puzzle, each a maze unto itself that when taken together allow one to traverse this inverted surrealist conundrum.

Where its sister album Anthronomicon presents an 8 piece puzzle of labyrinthine tumult, Helionomicon takes those elements and creates two towering 20 minute monoliths of radiant avant-garde immensity. Each track, appropriately titled Helionomicon and Anthronomicon, transports the listener on a vast journey of psycho-cerebral spectacle where hitherto unimagined landscapes take shape and strange intangible structures pierce the disintegrating firmament.
