FireRodan Dissonant/Experimental black metal....

Kur would be the CD I would pop in when I have those days where nothing is going correctly. The madness of the instruments and the shrills/screams of the vocalist gives you a fine calming effect.

I'm looking forward to future releases, and always excited for the next show they'll play.

Give it a listen, if it fills that void (no pun attended), I would recommend picking this up.

Favorite track: Phantasm Epoch.

Kur 07:56
Journey took place o’er the course of a year A perilous venture funded by fear (Yet we have found it!) The glory of parchment, a scripture divine A gateway to Heaven, this wondrous rhyme (But what must I... feed to the fire?) I’ll burn years of my work A sacrifice rightly deserved Those stories never got traction… ECH A calf or a goat- Those surely must serve Covenant worthy of Yahweh’s reaction ECH The ice shelves, so pure, unblinking, unmarred Except for the altars that leave the plain scarred (The site recedes behind us!) Instantly lauded as heroes of nation Given the freedom to study scroll aberration (We need a gift) I must give it my blood! To serve as the key to the entrance I see wife losing composure… ECH Oh, I will show that foul cunt: I will throw my young son to the embers And wait for the holy exposure ECH Ah, paradise Stare at its unblinking eyes Reality conforming to my rebirthed and enlightened self Stars and Aeons... Aeons far above Universe is braying with the ecstasy of human race Холод, последний холод Бесдушный космос Мертвый; превращаетса в Ад Бесдумный, бестрастный, безплодный Етот мороз I wander, dreaming, in bleak scenery Aching with terror, my body in ruin Vision filled with shadows- intruders from beyond Thirst for silence, they still whisper now Oh, Sweet flesh Wounds a gaping portal Vessel Subhuman door Your mission falters. Our vile seeds are planted This shell of bone- the vehicle of carnal sins Erased the deeds of all your dark transgressions Our madness needs entwine with your sub-thought (I awaken) Absolved From this guilt But still I see His flesh melting As these visions fade, I come back to my goals Establishing an empire founded on enriching souls We own you Firm grasp on your mind No matter what you do! Murmurs swell to howls The voices take control Memories leak, boundless These foes will meet their goal Cryptic Catacombs Spread In my consciousness Madness! Losing all the things I used to hold so close Last entry I write, before it stops its doze Incessant is the howling, wicked shrieks fill wide cosmos

Moonstruck, leering, carefully repeating in its form Whispering, Gibbering, Babbling: crimson fog Cunning and observant controlling from within its mortal cell Breathing quickens; drips away the layer of sleep And again… drips away the layer of sleep Looming in dark corners of this empire of men Committing vile atrocities? Oh, this I can Sick creatures creep, blood yearning. Give in to their demand These maps flesh-wrought I carry, I cannot understand! Marked, forever, by the beast beyond my comprehension Opulent Invader, spreading strife and imperfection Pray, end this reign of terror Oh god, please try your best This slavery will falter with the human race at rest Bred: cosmic consciousness Mixed in this wretched tomb of skin Taking form, devourer soul: Make ziggurat of sin and bone (bone) Walk through these poison trees In white fire- holy purity Set forth by ruined traitor Last world of cycle collapsed The portal to void, spread open The portal to void, spread open The portal to the void spread wide open The portal to the void spread wide open This portal to void, spread wide open This gateway to the void is spread wide open

Propelled by anguish (by anguish) The ache is back Within my reach Within my grasp The answer that I seek: Black Angel... It's in my hands It’s on my tongue The liquid god: Black Angel Dust! Travel, young warlock To the inside of a dream… We will eat you up How our colonies will scream... Travel, young warlock We will eat you up Oh, how our colonies will scream! Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony, no, no! Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck, no, no, no, no, no! I see that I am cursed Intruderful, crumbling Into the final dark that mankind, we, shall receive It crawls and it stalls and it binds and it fights us It bleeds and it breathes and feels beside us Eats and shits and fucks inside us For all that I know, it is us outside us It crawls and it stalls and it binds and fights us It bleeds and it breathes and it feels beside us Eats and shits and fucks inside us For all that I know, it is us outside us Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony! Fuck! No. Agony, no, no, no! No! We will not prevent to be ruined Aiming out the final call Racing thoughts Lucid dream Yet the visions recede I stop my scream Purging into lakes of frozen tones Dali’s lines quake with totality Tearing lights, ferocious to the eyes Blood flows freely through the seas of time Breath of air, chance to finally be… Free! Free... The ache is back

about

Seattle-based unconventional dissonant black/death outfit Voidthrone arise again with a new offering of brain-scrambling darkness and terror - KUR.

REVIEWS:
"Masterful swaths of complex, churning black metal...Voidthrone create a prison into which you freely enter, one which retains you not by force but by hypnosis"- Invisible Oranges (www.invisibleoranges.com/voidthrone-kur/)

"World-ending black/death metal with a singular spirit, as distinctive as its cover art; a record that stays true to the spirit of the style, whilst adding new twists. This is something special." - The Sound Not The Word
(thesoundnottheword.com/2018/04/11/review-voidthrone-kur/#more-16303)

"The band is exactly what music needs more of." - Technical Music Review (technicalmusicreview.com/2018/04/16/voidthrone-release-kur-music-video/)

"The album gave me anxiety. I loved it though. It was as if i was stuck in the mind of a patient with schizophrenia in the early 50’s. Fast, desolate and soulless...It is unlike anything I have heard this year so far. It is hard to describe exactly what the sound is. If you like and Anaal Nathrakh and Gorgoroth, this is something you must purchase." - Capital Chaos TV (capitalchaostv.com/2018/04/11/voidthrone-kur-self-released/)

"Copious blast beats are thrown into a hideous blender with counter-intuitive guitar incantations and screams designed to accompany a good brain bleed"- Metal Abyss (www.metalabyss.com/single-post/Voidthrone-Left-Up-The-Middle--Kur)

The album cover is an abstract painting created by the band at the beginning of the songwriting process, before we had started writing music. It is a visual representation of the root feelings that we used as the groundwork for the aural assault of Kur. It is the preface of the chaotic emotional state that we aim to cultivate.

about

Voidthrone Seattle, Washington

Birthed in the strange Pacific Northwest, Voidthrone channels the tumult and frenetic isolation of modernity. We convey the discomforting visions from beyond the veil with complex, aggressive, and transgressive riffs, beats, and shrieks. Our goal is to challenge and exhaust listeners and mesmerize and reprogram viewers with Dissonant Black Death.

HAIL BLACK.

HAIL CHAOS.

HAIL VOID.
