------------------------------------------------------
venomous wormholes - no salvation
hostile transition into a sulphurous aeon!
Silence...then a moody guitar melody culminates in a faint whisper: “Sie sind hier...”. Vocalist M.'s brief utterance is German for “they are here” and of course refers to the Ancient Ones of Lovecraftian lore central to SULPHUR AEON's lyrical, conceptual, and visual cosmos. Those 'sombre tidings' are yet just a short prelude to the crushing, pitch black waves that will wash over you once the quintet swings the almost seven minutes long 'hammer from the howling void'. Marking their fourth record to date, and first in five years, the opening track to “seven crowns and seven seals” is a bold statement defining the group's approach and ambition. Just like Lovecraft invented a whole world of unspeakable creatures and supernatural horrors during the early 20th century, SULPHUR AEON, more than ever, dug deeper into their own artistic range, crafting an album of equal otherworldly beauty and impact.
Filed under blackened death metal, and inspired by the likes of Morbid Angel, Dissection, Behemoth, Emperor, to name but a few, creative mastermind T. gradually transformed SULPHUR AEON from a duo project in 2010 to a much respected entity within the international metal circuit relying on quality releases first and foremost, and performing live selectively. Never shy of admitting their humble roots in the former industrial heart of Germany, T. and M., drummer D. - who joined the fold in 2011, and both guitarist A., and bassist S. who became members of the cult in 2018, have grown into an impressive, tight union poised to forge something unique and memorable.
we gaze aghast as the yearning abyss devours us
not dead but dreaming, disgorged into a sea of stars
SULPHUR AEON's newest opus is blessed with contrasts, an astonishing sonic ebb and flow. Expect a barrage of angular riffs and ferocious blast beats, refined layers of melodies, dense atmosphere and triumphantly chanted choruses. Expect ethereal acoustic guitars, subtle synths, tinges of goth ('the yearning abyss devours us'), lush leads, e-bow-parts, vigorous aggression ('arcane cambrian sorcery'), monumental heaviness shifting into hypnotic vocal patterns ('seven crowns and seven seals), and a grand finale ('beneath the ziqqurrats'). Transcending genres and always preserving a natural coherence, “seven crowns and seven seals” is swathing cinematic metal excellence perfectly captured and honed by long-term collaborators Simon Werner and Michael Zech (Secrets Of The Moon, Bølzer etc.) whereas mastering duties were handled by V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress). In terms of artwork, this time around SULPHUR AEON broke with the tradition of working with Ola Larsson once again but teamed up with Italy's Paolo Girardi to depict a Lovecraftian apocalypse opposing the album's opulence and dynamics with a rawer style.
rejoice! devote yourself to the revenant ones.
sing! as the old ones end all life
SULPHUR AEON's “seven crowns and seven seals” is the manifest and at least for now, possibly the peak of a band obsessively creative, passionately and willingly challenging itself to produce music as timeless and original as H.P. Lovecraft's literary legacy. Cast yourself into the darkened waters and be swallowed by the ocean's tide...

Thank you for making M.'s voice more prominent in the mix. The vocals are well-done and as always, terrifyingly fanatical. Ave Sulphur Aeon!
Exactly! That's the problem with a lot of metal, black metal and death metal! I hate when vocals are low in the mix turns me away. Can't wait for this album! 🤘
Once again, Sulphur Aeon does not disappoint!
SORCERYYYYYY
Finally, it was worth waiting five years for the creators of the best album of 2018 . Amazing song.
Hail to the best Death or Black Metal band out there. Period.
This new track is raw majesty 🔥🔥
My god, this is too good. One of nowadays best Metal bands...no doubt. The artwork, guitars, drums, bass and above those frrrrkn good vocals. Ah...and I didn't mention the artwork now
Sulphur Aeon rise to the top echelon of my favorite bands! A great testament of the band’s original trademark, hail Sulphur Aeon 🐙
Definite aoty candidate! The best Lovecraftian Metal band on the planet! 🐙
album isn't even out
@@willrfrench so the rest of the songs on this album are just gonna suck? Lol okay dude. Have you heard their other albums? And this is some of their best work!
I've been wondering in the last couple months, when this gentlemans, will finally release some new music... Now I understand that takes time to properly summon the Elder Gods to conjure some eldritch hymns hahaha
Jokes aside, I'm very happy that this project is still alive, since in my humble opinion, Sulphur Aeon is the best metal band nowadays who properly encapsulates the atmosphere in the Lovecraft's Mythos, without sounding too experimental and full of pretentious nonsense.
I mean, musically I really like their combination of death metal brutality with the eeriness of black metal, just like the Behemoth's approach in the album "The Apostasy". And of course, the vocals and lyrics are spectacular! They really look like chants /spells to the Elder Gods haha
The old album covers by Ola Larsson are fantastic. Yet as much I will miss that art style, I think Paolo Girardi art is suitable for this new "raw and gruesome" approach present in the concept of the new album. Also, the cover that Paolo did for Revocation's "Netherheaven" last year, was sick! haha
Can't wait for the whole album! 🤘🔥
...and from the depths of R'lyeh, reaching for the sky, they would soon rise!
I've missed this sound so damn much. Long live SA!🤘🖤
I didn’t know new SE was coming!!! The vocals are so raw, unfiltered and perfect.
There was a kind of teaser two months ago on Instagram by a German metal youtube
Such a Dark Beauty! 🖤🤘🎶
At this point I just need a Van Record tee shirt because I love So Many of their artists! 😆
Sulfur Aeon are one of my favorite bands of the last 10 years. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I'm thrilled to finally hear something new
One of my favourite bands releasing an album the day after my birthday. Its a wonderful time. Praise be to the old ones.
Lovecraftian black/death metal checks so many of my favorite boxes all at once. I’m a happy camper to see more from these guys. No one does it better.
Brilliant, majestic and brutal. Musicianship and songwriting has reached another level. Vokills are raw and production is top notch. They constantly evolve in every album without losing their sound and elements. I wanna hear more!
Yes! Finally new stuff from these guys, one of my favorite bands ever, Blackened Death Metal elite. 🔱👹🔥
Best current death metal band, no competition
Immolation is better
Finally! 🤟 pre-ordered vinyl and cd
One of my all time favorite band!

Didn't expect anything less from them...

Really like this song. It creates a strong atmosphere and keeps the typical SA sound.
Can´t wait for full album...
I completely missed that there will be a new album! So excited for it now. One of my favourite metal bands! I expected more Cthulhu themed songs but this is a very cool lyrical direction, love it.
Fhtagn!!!
Antisphere is the high point for me but this is getting very close. Cant wait for the full length

great song !!!
They deliver the goods once again
Just amazing as usual
Perfect! Peak Sulle!
GREAT !!!!!
sick
Fuck! I never clicked on a video so fast in my life. I've been waiting years for some new shit from these German bastards. Take it from the guy who listens to literally every fucking metal album that comes out under the sun, and I have a playlist on my channel to prove it, "The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos" is the best metal album I've heard since 2018 when it first came out and nothing that came out since comes even close to it.
Agreed 100%. It was on the heaviest of rotations since I found it some time last year or the year before and I've just been waiting for new material. So excited for the full album.
Lovecraftian disco!🤘🏻
Bester Wocheneinstieg seit langem! Song, Sound und Cover lassen jetzt schon drauf schließen, dass das bestimmt wieder einmal ein großartiges Album wird.
🔥🔥🔥
DAMN, FINALLY
Found this accidentally from listening to Urfaust (RIP) This is tight!
It was the same in my case. :D I've been following vanrecords for a while and after listening to Urfaust (which I also didn't know before) I came across Sulphur Aeon. It is tight as fuck indeed.
Heck yeah
🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
they did it again!
FINALLY
Ждал нового релиза 4 года
wieder mal ein absolut geiles brett abgleiefert!
Finally 🙏❤️
Finally!
Haill the chaos
🔥__🔥... The wait is finally
Death metal from outer space !!! Just Amazing !! 👍
Finally!!!
Always from the abyss to the throne
Hail, Finally new song
finally
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Brutality
Great, need this album in my personal collection! Cheers Mates, Robby // SCR
I searched suphur like biblically then saw this
4:52 Bee Gees, cocaine
666th View LFG 🔥☠️🔥
Song of the Day. 666 x 🤘🍺🖤
2022 aufgenommen und gemastert. Warum die Verzögerung? Aufs Cover-Artwork warten müssen?
Presswerke brauchen zum Teil auch noch recht lang, soweit ich weiß.
Weil Firmen wie Nuclear Blast und Co. die Vinylpresswerke mit ihrem Mainstreamdreck blockieren. Und die Indie Labels sich brav hinten anstellen müssen.
finally!
,🇲🇾🔱🤘😈🤘🔱🇲🇾
Why are the vocals so much more up than
The music ? It kinda ruins the song for me
Hope it's not the final mix.
So disappointed by the mix; the vocals are far, far too loud....
This is way to melodic and clean and kinda boring. Where's the murky blackened sound of the previous albums?
Too melodic and vocals volume too high. Hope the rest of the album offers more than this boring song.
Vocals too loud.
Such a cool album cover... wasted on such a meh band.
LOL!! In competition with that music, this cover art can only lose.
@@dertodesking8379 Since this competition of yours seems to be a 'special' competition where you compare album covers with music I'm assuming you are also in it, so you can compare album covers with music and cretins?
This will become the next Sulphur Aeon Killer Album!!
💀🖤🤘💀🖤🤘
