By making use of the language created by bands like Morbid Angel, Demilich and Timeghoul, German Death/Black cult CH’AHOM take us to the caves, down to places deep inside of us where no semantics can palliate the deep grunts that signify our fears, unsublimated, primal. In this sonic world, where before is after and causality has no reach, deeply embedded lie the stories of ancient mysticism: One last straw of humanity to latch on before your mind descends into the horrish world that is the sleep of reason.
