Ts'ono'ot by CH'AHOM

SRUIN213
The new dawn of Ch'ahom is upon us. The German ritualistic black/death metal horde give us a taste of what will materialize on a full scale with their imminent debut album. The single-song "Ts'ono'ot" EP here presented is a colossal twelve minute death-ritual materialized from the same recording sessions of their aforementioned forthcoming debut full-length LP, and is the first real glimpse into the band's new and future shape to come, crystallized as apocalyptic omen via limited edition cassette presentation. Completing the metamorphosis from their Von, Sadogoat, Beherit, and Blasphemy-influenced, noise-bordering raw bestial metal beginnings and groundwork, the behemoth track reveals the band transfigured into a shapeshifting new mortal ritual weapon of absolute death. New presages are re-worked into the band's new multilayered canvas and into a newfound clearer and outward projecting sound, weaponized with a sophistication, complexity and unpredictability sourced from transformative early psych/prog-infused technical death metal bands like Demilich and Time Ghoul. The band's peculiar and parallel fascination with the golden era of UK 70's prog and particularly with bands like Camel, Yes, and Genesis has done the rest, setting the band's songwriting on a trajectory of inexorable and masterful intricacy, materializing in the end twelve monstrous and bludgeoning minutes of transmuted and kaleidoscopic progressive bestial death metal triumph. Yet, this is nothing but the beginning....
