Ch’ahom gives this imagined world form through cavernous death metal, bestial eruptions and feverishly progressive structures. Savage riffing coils through suffocating chambers of rhythmic conjuration while ancient instrumentation emerges from the tumult like echoes inside a buried temple. ‘Anthropic Rites of Sublimation’ moves like the cenote itself, drawing the listener inward through an ecstatic and ever-deepening sense of the unknown.
Inspired by a deliberately literal interpretation of the death drive and its sublimation, Ch’ahom explores culture as a response to an irresistible desire for self-erasure. Mutilation, vicarious sacrifice, enslavement and willing surrender become the foundations of competing societies awaiting the cenote’s periodic opening. Ch’ahom transforms this dark fiction into an immense ritual of sound, portraying humanity through its terrifying ingenuity: creating faith, beauty and entire civilizations upon the edge of annihilation."
This single is a discharge of blackened death metal on it's finest and dirtiest form at the same time, as the vocals sound like a ritual of sacrifice or something mad from the deepest hole of a cave, the instrumental has different moments, alternating between aggressive discharges of violent death metal and atmospheric moments.
